Advantages and disadvantages of online business

Hi

* You can run your business from anywhere
* Low overheads (hosting and maybe staff costs)
* The internet is still a open market, lots of opportunities for new business models exist.
* If you get it right you can have super fast growth. For example Youtube was only started in Feb 2005 and was sold for $1.65 billion in October 2006. It only took them 21 months to grow to be worth 1.65 billion which is amazing.

Internet business disadvantages

* Business models can easily be copied, look at youtube and how many copys of their site exist.
* Can take a bit of time to train yourself, for example if you were to start a sandwich shop you can pretty much start making sandwiches without much trouble whereas to make a website you need a bit of knowledge and skill
* Spam you can spend a lot of your time dealing with spam emails and sales people telephoning you trying to sell you directory listings.

Hello To All

1. Very small start-up costs: You can save on the real estate mortgage/lease and staff in addition to huge marketing costs unlike the offline home based businesses. Most small home based online businesses are managed by less than 5 people. This is the most suitable business category for a start-up.
2. Very quick set-up and start: As soon as you get your website launched, you can have your home based business started. No long waiting periods, spending large amounts of money or getting loans.
3. Greater reach online: Your home based business website announces to the world your services/products and penetrates your markets.
4. No or low expenses: Apart from web hosting monthly payment, there is hardly any additional expense to buy or sell online. Your customers see, check, compare your/competitors’ products & order and pay online.
5. Be your own boss and keep what you earn: As an owner of home based online business you choose what to sell and when to work. Take a day off when you want to.
6. No commuting: No commuting at all, if you have a home based business. Save on gas, time and have more family time. There are also tax deductions available if you have a home based business.
7. One business multiplies as many: This is something you can’t do with an offline business. Suppose your online home based business is selling greeting cards.

Have a nice day

Anyone interested in business online should consider the financial banking aspect as well. Most everyone is well aware that a separate business banking account is a necassary feature of "going into business". However how it is operated and interaction with it can be streamlined too, in a way most people are not familiar -Remote Deposit Capture (RDC). Any business today - repeat Any business today can incorporate and use a new Federal Act called Check 21 Act. It allows a business which receives paper checks with or without statement stubs to scan checks electronically and deposit them electronically into any bank of their choice.

Many banks will tell you (maybe yours too) that this "cant be done" or "there will be a BIG fee to convert" - Nonsense - Talk to them confidently quoting the new Act (usually they will back down) or go to their competitor who will gladly allow it for your new business.

Advantages of online business are

1.You can be your own boss. You work when you feel like it, or when you are able to. You basically write your own paycheck with the amount of work you can do.

2.Promote what you love. You can promote any product that you want to promote. There are literally millions of products to choose from, you simply have to find one that you like and go for it.

Disadvantages of online business are

1.Hard to find good products. It can be tricky to find a product that is worth promoting. There are literally millions of products that you could promote and it is sometimes hard to focus in on just one.

2.Dishonest merchants. It can be difficult finding a merchant or vendor that is really honest and legitimate. In fact, there are some merchants who are dishonest that they lie and refuse to give you credit for your referrals.

another advantage is that you can make sales 24/7

The first thing you must do, however, is some basic market research. Find out for yourself, first-hand, just how many people there are in your area who are interested in your proposed product or service, and would be "willing to stand in line and pay money for it." This is known as defining your market and pinpointing your customers. If after checking around, talking about your idea with a whole lot of people over a period of one to three months, you get the idea that these people would be paying customers, your next effort should be directed toward the "detailing" of your business plan. The more precise and detailed your plan - covering all the bases relating to how you'll do everything that needs to be done - the easier it's going to be for you to attain success. Such a plan should show your start-up investment needs, your advertising plan, your production costs and procedures, your sales program, and how your time will be allocated. Too often, enthusiastic and ambitious entrepreneurs jump in on an extra income project and suddenly find that the costs are beyond their abilities, and the time requirements more than they can meet. It pays to lay it all out on paper before you get involved, and the clearer you can "see" everything before you start, the better your chances for success.

Have a nice day

Hello,

According to the SBA home based or small business owners find many advantages to business ownership. And these advantages certainly outweigh disadvantages. And according to the Office of Advocacy there are 26.8 million small business owners in the United States and the number is steadily rising.
You are the Boss

How many people endure a boss that undervalues their contribution to the organization? Or one who takes credit for their hard work. More than you might think! Entrepreneurs who own a business enjoy boss status. Now, they take the credit win, lose, or draw.
A Very Flexible Work Schedule

That's right! Suppose the business owner's spouse works the late shift; the business owner would rather be home during daytime to take care of the children. And would prefer not placing the children into day care. Those who are self employed are easily able to re-schedule their workload to fit their families unique situation.
No Long Commute

Many workers might spend anywhere from 1 hour and up commuting to work each day. Talk about commuting stress. These workers are tired before the workday even starts. Those who are self employed are glad to say goodbye to the long commute. Their longest commute might be a short walk down the hall to their home office.
Goodbye Office Politics

Many have experienced the effects of office politics and how it narrows their career choices; with co-workers positioning themselves with power figures to move up in the organization. Say goodbye to office politics!

Thank you
