How to Start Your Internet Business
First we need to start an Internet business is a domain name like: www.mygoogle.com or myfacebook.com or melnzeme.com. This is essential because it is the name that we will promote and to which we will derive all the traffic.
The second thing we need is a Web hosting company or hosting, as it is commonly known. Hosting There are many variables, colors, sizes, etc.., But to get an idea, a professional hosting company to a person who does not have much traffic and is just beginning, may provide services between 5 and $ 10 per month .
What determines have a hosting $ 5 or $ 400 a month? Depends on the volume of traffic, the amount of space we need in storage and how powerful is our server, but in most cases, for an entrepreneur, you do not need a dedicated server or a machine superpower. With a shared platform for them enough.
When no longer sufficient? The same experience will tell us when the server starts to walk slowly or have much traffic, and to this extent, if we have a large number of databases, we will require more space. The great advantage is that we can climb to the next most powerful hosting package without losing previous information. Summarizing, we have the domain first, then the hosting and then creating the contents of that hosting (articles, videos, sales letters and web survey).
Here too there are two forms. The first is to do it yourself, that is, to create our website page by page, which is not necessary given the current technology. The second is to install a content management software like WordPress, Joomla, PHP-Nuke and others.
Once we create our domain, we have a hosting that domain redirect to where we publish the content through a content management system, the fourth and last tool we need is to hire an autoresponder service. Autoresponders system allows us to capture the e-mail of people from a web survey and follow them through time automatically, on autopilot, via e-mail.
These are the tools we have provided on our website. The rest depends greatly on the project and the characteristics of what is being sold. What else could even require extra? For example, if we are selling multiple products, and say they are physical products, we would need to install a virtual store for people to add their purchases in a cart to the end of the virtual tour, pay.
Another thing that we sell all over the Internet, we need a payment gateway. That is, hire a company that allows us to directly charge via the Internet with major credit cards like Visa, Master Card and American Express, and / or PayPal.
There are many other extras but rely heavily on the technical requirements of the business itself or as a software that can play videos on the platform, software or specialized customer service.
