Where can you learn about e-business?

Starting a Successful E-Business

There are lots of sites out there that claim that they can teach you about e-business. The problem is that they can't prove that what they teach will help you build a successful e-business.

The reality is that like most off-line businesses, most e-businesses fail. Why? The main reason is lack of targeted traffic to their website. Here is how to overcome that obstacle and build a successful e-business.

1. Choose a niche you are passionate about (and knowledgeable)

2. Build a content rich site that over-delivers valuable, sought-after information (See a real life e-business success story based on this concept by following the link in the margin)

3. The content will generate targeted, free traffic from the search engines with no tricks or manipulation required. Remember, always keep it real.

4. Once you have a steady stream of targeted traffic, then, and only then, do you start to "monetize" your business.

Most people do this all backwards, and in the end fail. Stick to the above formula (in order!) and you can't go wrong.

Is it easy? No. Does it take work and dedication? Yes.


Here are some other books that may be of some help:

Here is a book that received some excellent reviews on Amazon.com: "Multiple Streams of Internet Income" by Robert G. Allen.

The 'for Dummies' series of books might also be helpful, "Starting an Online Business for Dummies, Third Edition" by by Greg Holden.

A great example for e-business

create your own comprehensive marketing website that you can use to market your business online. Select a web template that best suits you and get several powerful viral marketing tools that are build in to your website. Get people hooked on to your site through your own blogs, showcase what you have to offer through your own photo albums, create your own articles describing about your business together with several other powerful tools will help grow your business step by step.

In regards to the very first post, I would put in between #1 and #2, that you have to find a hungry audience for what you're selling. Having a passion for something is great, but if you want to make an income, you want to make sure there is an buying audience that wants what you're passionate about.

Tailor your marketing efforts in the best way to reach that audience.

WORD OF MOUTH

I agree with all the above. Plus, use traditional means, like word-of-mouth, to generate traffic to your e-business. Though it is online, you are still doing business with human-beings. My best wishes to you.
