Why e-commerce works, and why now more than ever...

 

There are plenty of reasons why starting an e-commerce site for your business makes a great deal of sense for both you and your prospects and customers. There might never be a better time than right now.

 

From your own businesses point of view, if you have a way of enabling customers to transact business online through an e-commerce site, you stand to benefit from many advantages.

 

Firstly, being able to offer your products online instantly multiplies your market reach beyond your neighborhood or city to take in the whole of the country, or even perhaps the whole of the world.

 

While there are some potential problems in dealing with the global marketplace – arranging delivery, accepting online payments and things of that nature – these problems are far less troublesome nowadays than they were even a couple of years ago.

 

Online security is better than ever, so whereas accepting secure online payments for transactions conducted online might have given you cause for concern in the past, it should no longer do so because online payment systems have improved since those times.

 

Added to this is the fact that global markets are becoming inherently more open, meaning that it is becoming more normal for people to trade across borders. Nowadays, it is not that much more difficult to buy goods from China than it is to buy goods from a town 20 km down the road.

 

If you are thinking of starting a new business, then cash flow is always an extremely important consideration, and once again, operating an online business has significant advantages over running a business from a high street store or an office in a tower block.

 

What do you need to launch a successful e- commerce site?

 

one thing that you do not need in order to launch an e-commerce based business is a great deal of start-up capital. Depending upon the particular type of business that you want to own, it is feasible that a couple of hundred dollars would be enough to get your business off the ground.

 

However, what you do need to get started is a business idea, and an absolute determination to make sure that your business is a success. In order to be successful, you must be passionate about what you want to do (or indeed, about what you are already doing), and it is absolutely essential that you bring a ‘can do’ attitude to your business.

 

It is also important to understand that starting an e-commerce enabled website is a long term commitment in exactly the same way that opening a high street store would represent a long-term commitment.

 

If you are operating online, you are not paying a monthly rent or employing staff (at least in the beginning), but you must understand from the start that running an e-commerce enabled website is a real business, not something to play with. It is something that you could be doing for many years to come, the basis of a global business empire (yes, really!) and it is therefore something has to be taken extremely seriously from the start.

 

Hence, commitment and passion is all about finding something that you really want to do, working with something that you will still be happy to work with in 10, 20 or even 50 years.

 

 

Planning and research

 

Whether you are setting up a small business in the real world or doing so online, it is absolutely essential that you start off with a plan. As the saying has it, ‘if you fail to plan, you plan to fail’, which is definitely a saying that accurately applies to starting your own business.

 

If you are a starting a business online, you have a significant advantage in that all of the information you could ever need is available on the internet, and most of what you need to know is available at no cost.

 

As you would expect in the planning stage, you need to look at every aspect of your proposed business with a very critical eye because this is certainly no time for ‘rose tinted spectacles’. However much you might love to set up a business that panders to your passions, there is little point in doing so if that business has a very limited chance of achieving success even before you launch it. While you might have a passion for Mongolian nose flute playing, you are (unfortunately for you) in a very small, select group of people who are interested in the same topic, and it is extremely unlikely that you would be able to build a viable business around such a narrowly defined interest.
