Have You Set Your Online Business Goals?
Have you sat down and asked yourself why exactly you want
to make money online?
If you think that is a dumb question, you are wrong.
It is not enough simply to want to make money on the
Internet. That is far too vague. You need to form a clear
idea about what are are aiming to achieve with your
Internet business.
For example:
1. Why you want to use the Internet as your business
medium? What are the particular benefits of starting an
online business for you?
For many people the answers have to do with independence,
convenience, cost and being able to sell your goods or
services worldwide, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
2. What is your "definite major purpose" for wanting to
start a business on the Internet?
Starting an Internet business is really just a means to a
greater end.
For example, if you made five million dollars on the
Internet you might just decide to retire and do something
else. When you know what that special "something" is you
will also know why you really want to build an online
business - you will have your "major purpose".
Once you are able to articulate what your major life goals
are, write them down and refer to them regularly.
Now you have a clearer idea of what you are trying to
achieve with your the Internet business it will be easier
to find answers to the next few questions...
3. What are your monthly earning targets?
Set a precise target figure, an amount of money that will
enable you to do what you want, whether it is $500 a month,
$5,000 a month or $50,000 a month. Write it down.
4. How long should will it take to reach that level of
income?
If you don't set yourself a time frame in which to reach
your income target you will probably never get there.
5. How much time and money will you need to invest to reach
your target?
Before you set up your online business do some research
about the kind of skills that you will need to develop in
order to succeed.
Think about how much of your time, energy and money will be
needed to develop those skills. What should you outsource
to competent experts and what are you prepared to do
yourself?
For example, when it comes to constructing your website,
are you prepared to do that yourself? Or do you want to
spend your time on something else and outsource the design
side of your business to a competent web designer?
Do you enjoy writing? Do you find the prospect of having to
create fresh content for your website exciting or daunting?
Would you be willing to spend the time and make the effort
to write your own copy, or would it be better simply to pay
somebody to do it for you?
Once you have gone through this self-examination you will
know why you want to make money on the Internet. You will
also have a clearer idea as to whether you are ready to
proceed with your online business and how much time and
money you will need to invest to achieve your goals.
