Learning From the Best: Essential Advice for Your E-Business
Summary
With the growing appeal of online businesses as a means to boost income or escape the traditional 9-to-5 grind, many people are eager to start their own e-commerce ventures. However, the reality is that most new e-businesses fail. A key reason is that newcomers often jump in without learning the essentials of running a business effectively. Many Baby Boomers, in particular, have lost their life savings because they didn’t invest time and effort in understanding the fundamentals of online selling.
Get Guidance Before You Begin
If you aspire to be an internet entrepreneur, seek the wisdom of those who have already succeeded. While personal experience is invaluable, learning from others can help you avoid common pitfalls.
You might not have direct access to successful e-business experts, but many have shared their insights through various training resources. As education specialist Les Cowie of Visual Learning Systems explains, it's crucial to understand the essentials before diving in: "There’s a lot of educational material out there that people don’t take advantage of."
Rather than waiting for mistakes to happen, educate yourself proactively. Whether it involves getting licensed, legally structuring your business, or choosing a search-engine-friendly URL, doing things right the first time can save you both time and money. Consider investing in training classes, such as eBay University e-courses, Visual Learning Systems' interactive classes, CDs, books, videos, or seminars.
Know Your Sources
Finding reliable advice can be challenging due to the abundance of self-proclaimed "eBiz experts." Before investing in their guidance, ensure they are reputable:
- Evaluate their claims: If someone promises overnight riches with minimal effort, be wary. Starting an e-business requires time and dedication. Anyone suggesting otherwise is likely selling a false promise.
- Assess their success: Examine the results they've achieved with their own advice. Listening to those who are successful in their field can provide valuable insights.
- Check reputations: Consult the Better Business Bureau (BBB.org) for any complaint histories and search for online reviews. A majority of positive experiences from others can assure you of their legitimacy.
While there are no absolute guarantees of your e-business's success, equipping yourself with knowledge can significantly enhance your chances. By familiarizing yourself with the realities of e-commerce, you’ll be better prepared to tackle future challenges. As Les Cowie asserts, "It’s entirely possible for anyone to start an online business and do very well?"it’s just a matter of equipping yourself to succeed."
