So You Hope to Start an Internet Business?

September 12th, 2009

Anyone who wants to start an Internet business needs to consider what unique skills need to be learned before beginning such a venture.

The set of skills that you will need are not very intimidating. However the extent to which you need to be familiar with each of the knowledge areas depends upon how much of the work you plan to do yourself and how much you want to leave to professionals.

I assume you know about the legal requirements in your jurisdiction. If not, either check with your own authorities (you’ll find a great deal of information online) or consult an attorney. It is also advisable to check with your insurance professional and your accountant before actually making your business official.

While those concerns are important for any business, here the focus is about those skills essential for an Internet business. We’ll look at the knowledge areas that you or someone associated with your business, whether it is you, a partner, an employee or an individual or a company with which you contract to perform some of the specialized tasks involved.

Computer Skills: If you know how to use email and a word processing software, you can learn the rest of the technical things rather easily. In the early days of the web, you needed to know computer programming. Today, there are many software tools that make most things that you need to do quite easy. Of course, if you don’t have a lot of computer knowledge, you will be learning much more about computers along the way, but the best of the ready made tools tend to have excellent manuals and even video tutorials. If you are reasonably interested, diligent and willing to spend a bit of money on software, this is really no great worry. As you become more experienced, you will become faster at each computer task.

Search Engine Optimization: SEO, as this is usually called, has to do with attracting traffic to your website. Specifically it involves building and promoting your site in such a way that the major search engine will list your site, preferably very high in the rankings, when a web visitor enters a search term that is relevant to your business’s products, services or information.

Web Design: Someone, you or a consultant, has to decide on the appearance of your website, what it needs to be able to do and be able to build it in such a way that it facilitates reaching your goals. Designing for the Internet is not the same as designing for any other communication medium (television, print, etc.). One of the most important principles in web design is that pretty is not the same as effective. You need a business website that is easy to more around, where the information is clearly marked and that the user is facilitated in achieving your desired goal (for example, buying your product).

Writing for the Internet: There is almost no skill more important in Internet marketing than writing. If you are not a writer, don’t fret. There are a lot of good writers around who are experienced in writing for the web and who are amazingly inexpensive. You can actually find an Internet (or web) writing service that specializes in just the kind of writing you need. However, if you don’t have the budget to hire qualified writers as often as needed, or if you don’t have the skills to do your own writing, consider another venue for your business.

Patience: Remember that you will not see a great deal of money coming in immediately. Sure, there are plenty of scam artists out there that will tell you that they can sell you “secret” information that will lead to online riches within a week or a month. The truth is that operating an online business is no different from any other business in that way. It takes time and effort to develop. You can achieve your goals with time and money. You can achieve them faster with more time and more money, but you can’t become wealthy almost instantly. You need to be in this for the long haul in order to build a reliable, lasting, valuable business.

There are plenty of good resources on the Internet to help you learn the skills you don’t have and further hone those that you do. Most of the information you need is out there for free. Unfortunately, much of that information is wrong. You can increase your learning curve dramatically by purchasing high quality information or hiring consultants. However, if you are very patient, you can learn almost everything on your own and without much cost. In fact you can often sign up for worthwhile cost-free learning resources such as a how to start an Internet business course, which also should point you to other valuable resources, as well.
