Tips on Starting a Business in 2014

Here are a few things to think about when you are considering starting your own business:

• Get together a business structure with the basics of what you want to do with your business.

• Conduct market research to find out what people are interested in buying and what they think of your ideas. You can use questionnaires like SurveyMonkey.com to send surveys to your friends and family.

• Name your business something catchy and short so that people will have an easy time remembering the name.

• Find an investor who will help you fund your business or save your money to fund your own business because you have to start with some money in order to make more money.

• You will always need more money than you think. There are hidden costs and fees sometimes that you haven't known to account for until you get to the point of needing to pay for them.

• Set up your office space or area you will work in.

• Research your ideas and find out what is best for you and avoid quick "easy" seeming money making online scams. Nothing is free and it does take capital to start up. Putting your money into inventory to sample type businesses is ok, just be careful if it seems too much like a pyramid.

• Find out the business trends and competitors out there and decide who your market is, who you're going to be selling to and how much they're willing to pay for your products.

These tips will be helpful to think about before you get started. The more information you can gather the better off you will be.

Tips on creating a website

No matter what your selling, whether it's jewelry or purses, handmade items, or re-sale items, creating an informational website about you, your business, or any topic you're interested in, you will want to build a website. Here are some steps to get you started on a website:

1. Choose your domain name, using a .com, .net, .co or .org (GoDaddy.com is a good place to check which names are available)

2. Pick a domain buying and web hosting company. You should pick a company that has good customer support. www.godaddy.com is a popular one but also there are other cheaper options like www.budgethostingweb.com which is great if you need hosting for your site also.

3. Build your site using a website builder, blog editor, graphic designer or software like Adobe Dreamweaver or Microsoft FrontPage. www.GoDaddy.com and www.Intuit.com have site building software as well as www.wix.com is great for making easy fun flash websites.

4. Make your website stand out from the crowd – find a graphic designer to customize images on your site or design a custom logo for you. (Here's a suggestion: www.liquidreddesign.com)

5. Add lots of interesting and relevant content to your site to make it interesting and keep your audience's attention.

6. Get traffic to your site by submitting your website to search engines like Google and by using search engine optimization (SEO) techniques. You can also find web marketers to help with this. They'll usually even contact you once your site gets a little traffic.

7. Promote your website using social networks like MySpace, Facebook, Twitter, Linked In and Pinterest. 

8. Market your site using a newsletter (www.verticalresponse.com & www.constantcontact.com and good for helping you set up email blasts)
