3 Steps to a successful online business
1.) Conduct Market study - determine the size of your market, and the competitors. Data is accessible through Google search analytics.
2.) Decide on Market approach
a. Direct competition - find a niche relative to your competitor, fight tooth and nail for traffic.
b. Market creation - create a new niche, build it, and maybe they will come.
3.) Develop your product
a. create from scratch
b. outsource
I think that would be the gist of it keeping in mind costs and future growth. Ideally, it would be a turn key operation, with the minimum amount of maintenance after product launch. Thoughts?
