Creating the website of your dreams not your nightmares.
by Judi Singleton
Part two
Last week I talked about before you can build a website you
must have very clear goals in mind before you can build a
good website. It will cause you less hassle in the long run if
you have a plan of action that fits your budget and time. You
need to know what you are going to sell if it is a proper
business site.
Even if you are just selling affiliate programs then you need
to use those programs. Buy their products and then if you feel
really enthusiastic about that product you can easily sell it.
You can not sell something you do not believe in.
So we are still on the business plan this week. Your
business plan is a plan of actions. I say actions because it
is an overall plan broken down into many little steps. It is
your goals and how to reach them..This is a plan of how you
will run your business. It will change as you learn more about
your business but it is still there as a framework.
In your business plan you will state your objectives {where you
want to go with this business). You will need to reasearch your
market and your competiion. For example, if you want to sell
software and part of your plan is to become an affiliate for a
software company, you might search for the top selling software
this week on the search engines or look at the download sites and
see what the top downloads of the week are.
Who will you be selling these products to - your targeted market?
Depending on what kind of software you have decided to sell, who
uses this kind of product? How can you draw that kind of audiance
to your site? Do you want to sell to a very young audiance? Is that
who would use this software? Say you are selling a games software
and it is used mostly be people in the age group of 15-21. Now is
this the kind of software you want to sell? Is that the age
group you want to sell to? This will all become part of the
information you will need to gather before you build the website of
your dreams.
We talked just in general terms at the start of this article {if you
didn't read the first part of the article you can go here to
http://www.gotojassminesitenow.com/journal/building-websites.html
and review the first installment} about free sites to house your new
dream. Usually having a domain name is the best solution if you are
going to build a business site. Having a business on a free server is
like having a one year lease with a bricks and mortar business.
What happens if the free server is no longer in business?
Some of the other things that will go into this plan are the price of
your product and how you will market it. Now that you have the basics
down on paper, you can take your objectives and write goals to
achieve them. Remember keep your steps small and achievable.
Of course I will be writing more on this subject. But for my
last thought I will repeat what I and every other successful
person on and off the Internet says. "It doesn't matter how
good an opportunity is. If you haven't spent the time to learn
the hows, wheres, and whys of advertising you won't make the
money you expect."
