How To Start An Online Business by chigo4u: 2:52pm On Dec 28, 2013
When you’re starting a new business you need to have certain things in consideration, such as equipment, furniture, location, employees, to name a few. But nowadays technology allows you to have your own e-commerce with very little resources, using a laptop, a phone system and the aid of various softwares and phone apps.
But how can you reduce expenses when you’re starting a new business?

Some of the main reasons most people avoid following their dream of being their own bosses are: lack of capital, fear of not being able to succeed and not wanting to get into much debt. But most of these things can be avoided if you start as an online business with very little monetary investment.

Here are some tools and tips that can help you grow when you’re starting small but with big goals:
Get a web Page

Secure your domain and make sure people can see what you have to offer, a catalogue with images for products or a very detailed description in case of services; include your business’ contact information with multiple options such as email, phone number and mailing address.

Don’t be Afraid of Social Networks

With so many of them is easy t get overwhelmed, choose the ones that fit your company and be active on them so that people can relate to your business and see what you have to offer.

Get a VoIP Telephone System

VoIP phones are some of the best tools to save money,not only they allow you to stay connected anywhere you are, with features that can send your calls to your mobile or give you the opportunity to have a local number from a different area to where your business is located, they also adapt to your specific needs.

Be unique

There are probably tons of other online business selling the same products or services that you have, they key is to offer something with that extra touch that differentiates you from the rest. What can you bring to the table that others don’t already have?

Make a working schedule and follow it

Many people who work from home or have online businesses don’t see it as “real work” and they simply work whenever they feel like, instead of sticking to a plan or business hours. Your clients need to know when can they contact you for doubts, orders or any problem they need solving and for these reasons you have to make yourself available on specific hours and have a working schedule.

Try following these simple rules to put into motion your plan and start your own online business with success.
