An Opportunity Amidst Recession

We have seen huge changes in the economy since the beginning of last year. None of these changes are worthy of a celebration. We’ve seen people loosing their homes, we’ve seen people loosing their jobs, and most especially we’ve seen kids who have to stop school because it’s getting expensive. All of which can be attributed to the economic crisis the world is facing. Anywhere you go the effect of this predicament is evident.

Huge changes have indeed taken place over the past couple of months. Most of these changes are not so good. However, even in this current situation there is still one bright spot, and that is the growth of Online Businesses.

As indicated on the graph online spending has been rising steadily since the beginning of 2000. Traditional businesses have turned their attention to marketing their businesses online after they have realized how cheap it is. A strong presence online can help companies (big or small) grow their business even in the current global financial crisis.

So if there is growth in online spending, isn’t that a sign for us to START OUR OWN INTERNET BUSINESS too? Now is the time to get out there and earn something from the internet. Here are some tips to get you going.

1. HOT STUFF. There are millions of products that you can sell online. However you need not sell of them right? Choose a product that interests YOU. As an entrepreneur, the product / service that you will promote online should be something you know about.

After identifying the product that you want to sell online check if there is a market for it. Identifying your niche market is important. The market niche is a portion of the market that you will target as an entrepreneur. A business who targets a niche market, is addressing the needs for a product or service that is not provided by others. This group of individuals will be your biggest opportunity.

2. BUY IT! BUY IT! BUY IT! Your website should be all about this. From the design to the words that you use. It should be dripping with “BUY IT!” vibe.

You have 2 choices when it comes to website. Build your own or hire a professional to do it for you. There are plenty of videos online to help you out with the basics if ever you do not know how to build a website. I have also done an article about website basics.

If you plan to put up your own website you have to make sure that it looks professional and not something that was crammed. No one would take the time to teach themselves how to navigate through your website. So, making sure that it is user friendly is a big help to attract people to your website.

The site that you will put up should contain pertinent and relevant information about the product/ service that you market. Including important information about the product/ service makes you a dependable endorser.

3. DRIVE TRAFFIC TO YOUR SITE. After publishing your website you have to think of ways to tell people about it. In short you need to lure people to it. The more visitors your site gets the higher the chances of closing a sale.
