Like everyone, you're busy. Maybe you don't have time right now to work through our extensive step-by-step lessons. If you want to get "something up and earning" in a fraction of the time then you've come to the right place.

The E-Business Quick Start

Before we introduce you to what we feel is not only the quickest and easiest but also the most effective method of building an e-business site, please work through our 5 primer steps.

Step 1. Know yourself

Now is the time to really stop and ask yourself these questions:

• "What's in it for me?"
• "What am I trying to achieve with my website"

An honest response gives focus to your business. What level of income are your trying to achieve with your business? Do you want to make $100 per month? … $500? … $5000? Are you planning for this to be secondary income or will this become your primary income?

Make a note of what your short term and long-term goals for your web site are.

Step 2. Know your products/services

This is a crucial step. The only way to be truly effective in marketing is to know the products that you are promoting. Knowing your products is the only way to know your customer, which is the next step.

If you haven't got a product yet then why not sell somebody else's and get paid for it! Visit our affiliate information page to get all the details on how you can go about doing this.

Step 3. Know your Customer

Define your audience. Who is your customer? Is there a specific age range? Sex? Profession? What are the major benefits that your web site will provide to them? In other words, why will they come to your web site? After all this is the sole reason for your web site existence.

Take some time now to answer the questions above, it won't take long and having things clearly laid out on paper is a hundreds times better than a vague idea in your head.

Step 4. Know your Competitors

Do you know who your competitors are? You should! Take some time to visit some of your competitor's sites. In particular, pay attention to features you like about your competitors sites. What are they doing well? What can you do even better!

Step 5. Choose a Domain Name

Consider what you want to achieve with your domain name. Do you want to build a long-term brand? Supplement an existing offline brand or use it to generate short-term traffic. Ideally, the domain name should be a mix of all three. Remember that your domain name the handle to your space of internet real estate, it should build credibility with your customers.
