Starting an internet business opportunity is an exciting prospect, unfortunately, well over 90% of them will be out of business in less than 3 months, and I think that is a conservative estimate. The failure rate is so high because people think that starting a business is as easy as all of the crooks and scammers would like you to think it is, the real truth is much different. The reason all of these businesses fail is because almost all of the people who start a business are doing so without spending any time on learning any of the basics required to be successful.

Learning how to start and operate a new internet business opportunity takes some time and effort, failure to spend this time at the beginning will substantially reduce you chances of success. With the competition getting stiffer and stiffer every day for new web sites, you need to be sure you have all of the advantages you can get in order to increase your chances at success. Here are a few areas that I think you should concentrate on to make your chances at success as high as possible.

SEO is a fairly complex area that you are going to need to get some advice on, unless you feel very comfortable in this area alone. Your internet business opportunity is going to need to get as a high a page rank as possible as well as getting the top spot in the Search Engines (S.E.) , all of this is going to mean expert SEO advice, either in house or from an outside source. You need to be sure that you are paying attention to this area of your business as soon as possible, preferably before you have even started; there are some areas that need to be addressed before the construction of your web site has started.

I would pay particular attention to two areas, your keyword selection and what areas you want to work on in regards to traffic to your site. Your keywords are going to have the biggest impact on your site of anything, you need to spend the time in this area to make sure you get it right, you need words with traffic attached to them, but you also need to be sure that you can ranked for them. Keywords that have you on page 12 of the S.E. are not going to do it for you; you need the combination of high keywords that you can actually get ranked for.

Did you know you can start an online business today with less than $50?  Web design has been around since the start of the Internet and is not slowing down anytime soon.  A lot more people are creating websites than before.  These consists of sites to build personal branding, brick and mortar stores that need an online presence and our favorite type of business- the dot com.  With the tools available today like WordPress, Joomla and Drupal, it doesn’t matter if your 15 or 50.  As long as you can deliver the work, you’ll get hired.

Do You Have The Qualifications?
I’d seen my share of web developers and clients so I have a good sense of what makes good qualifications.  First, you really do need to have an eye for design.  You don’t need to be a Picasso but if you can identify which website template looks best for a given client, then you’re OK.  Second, treat it like a business with consequences if you don’t deliver.  The clients on the other side of the table usually have a budget and they don’t want to go over.  Being a developer, I know how much things cost and am always looking for a good deal.  However, if a designer can sell me that their price point is worth the money, I wouldn’t mind going with them.  But, if I’m paying for something that’s over my budget, you better exceed my expectations.  If you don’t, you will never work with me again.  Finally, show the client that you have initiative.  This can be shown by how quickly you respond to emails, phone calls, etc.  I also like it when a designer suggest ideas that I hadn’t thought of.  One client I worked with before said that they are paying for not just the work that they ask for but also the thought-leadership (big word essentially meaning creative thinking).

Where To Get Started
This is simple.  Most designers use Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator to do their work.  If you work from home, then put a profile on Elance.com and Guru.com.  Start replying to job queries.  If you want to build an offline business, start going to networking events and tell people about your web design business.  Every week, I meet new web designers at networking events.  So if you want to stand out, say something unique about yourself- why you got into the business, where you look to go with the business.  In another words, sell me not as a web designer but as a person with a vision and I’ll buy your service.
