how can I start an internet business?

[AprillynD]

I need help in starting a business on the internet. I know what I want to do, but I need a business plan with financials and I will need investors. I do not have any money as I am unemployed, but the business I am thinking of ties in directly with the information age and internet. Can someone advise me as to the steps I need to take to be successful?

you probably need to discuss this with someone who knows the ins and outs of business enterprises
in our locality there is an organization of retired business people who will on a volunteer basis go out and assist people who what to open a business of their own
check with your local Chamber of Commerce if such an organization is active in your locality
otherwise you can possibly make an appointment with a good accountant who has been in business a long time and has a variety of businesses as his clients

i doubt it that anyone can help you if you do not state the nature of your business exactly

Hi,

Couple of things I want to share. The most common scenario to start a business is: out of work, lots of time and ideas at hand and bills coming in. This case has 2 types of exits: either get a job or establish a business.

But, to establish a business you need to invest money in it. Even though it's an internet business, it still needs: website, products, social media marketing, search engine optimization etc etc.

So, I can suggest to become a freelancer until you get some seed money for your business.

Then, create a website (if you're going to offer your own products / services as a business) or - sign up as an affiliate marketer and create all sorts of social media and social bookmarking accounts.

You will need to make it work: so investment is necessary.
You need to mingle with your target market (create a list) and learn how to do things online: like choosing the right media path for you: http://bit.ly/boU5oK

And you need a cutting edge strategy. Hence, you'll be looking for a business coach (Me ) sue@aheartsdesires.com
