Things To Think About Before Starting An Online Business

How much time do I need? How much will it cost? These are common questions when thinking of starting an online business. A lot of people are struggling and looking for a way to supplement their income, which is the reason for wanting to start an online business. An online business can be started for a very small amount, for even under $100.00.

As far as time, the more time the better. Some of us are employed full time, trying to spend time with family, running the typical household things, and wonder how we can find extra time. I have found that even if it is only 60-90 minutes per day after work is a good start. Using this time to really focus and get something done is very important. I have even heard the idea of setting a timer can help. It makes it feel like you are under a little pressure and some of us work better that way. If not, knowing that the timer will be going off may help us to focus on getting a task completed.

Do you have the techinal know how? This has been one of my biggest blocks. I can use a computer and the internet. I have learned a lot of the language but there is still more learning to do! I am willing to learn and it feels like major accomplishment when I complete a task that a few short months ago, I would have never dreamed I could do.

There are people out in the online world that are willing to help us along the way. Eric is one of these people and here is the link to the next lesson! Eric’s Lesson #3

Can anyone start their own business?

This is the topic of Eric’s lesson #2. Eric makes some very good points about what an online business actually is.

There are several questions that come to mind about starting an online business. How much will it cost to get started? How much time is necessary to make an online business successful? How much computer experience do I need? Will I be able to quit my job?

An online business is not a job. If you build your business the right way, you can have more security and income that a lot of 9-5 jobs. This is what I want and following Eric’s Tips is going to be a big help!

Listen here for Eric’s Lesson #2

Let’s follow Eric’s Tips to start an online business together

I have been a long time subscriber to Eric Holmlund’s newletter called Eric’s Tips. This has been one of the newsletters that has been helpful to me.

Recently Eric announced that he was going to be leaving the internet marketing business. He is offering anyone signed up for his newsletter, to receive 120 video lessons that he is creating for free on how to build an online business from A-Z. He decided to do this after doing a survey with his readers and found that so many people are suffering from information overload. There are a lot of people(myself included) that have all this great information but are unable to put it all together to actually get their business going.

In one of the comments on his blog, the question was ask if it was ok to put a link to the video on their site. He said yes, so I thought that was a great idea and I am going to include the link to the first lesson in this blog post. For anyone wanting to get started and learn from someone that is very successful, this is a great opportunity. Eric’s Lesson #1

I am very excited about this step by step series that he is doing, and hope you will find it helpful too!
