7 Things to Consider When Running a Business Online

1. Determine the Type of Business

Of course, when we start a business, we must first choose the types of business that will be run on the internet. There are many types of businesses that can be run on the internet, but Andry Salim in his book The Internet Millionaire mentions there are 5 types of businesses that we can do:

• Content Publishers
• Affiliate Marketer
• Product/Service Owner
• CPA Marketers
• Site Flipping

We will describe these 5 points in detail, both from a technical perspective, advantages and disadvantages, prospects, and market analysis in the next post on this blog.

2. Analyzing the Market

Analyzing the market is a skill that a businessman must have, and of course, this will become a natural skill as he has more experience doing business. Analyzing the market is the ability to view demographic and geographic statistics on a trend that is currently developing in cyberspace to be used as material for evaluating the development of our business.

That is before you really set your business type. First, you have to analyze the market, does the business you offer have prospects (opportunities) and also sell? Then for the sustainability of the company that you are building, analyzing the market is very much needed, such as seeing the behavior of your consumers and seeing trends that are on the rise in the market.

3. Building Brandding

In order for your product to really be liked and in demand by the market (customers), then you need branding. Branding is a process of building a corporate image to convince customers that the products offered are suitable and according to their demands.

There are also various kinds of branding, both in terms of logos, distinctive colors, and packaging designs. Or from the other side, such as awards that have been won or at least customer testimonials, both directly and indirectly, which aim to increase customer trust.

For example, why is a good motorcycle Yamaha, Suzuki, or so on in some areas known as Honda? It doesn’t matter what the brand is, the important thing is that it’s called Honda. Toothpaste is also known as toothpaste, even though toothpaste is a brand of toothpaste product. This is also called branding, when people’s mindset is locked on a name (brand), they will generalize all objects that have the same form or function.

4. Good Marketing Techniques

Marketing is something that can not be separated from the business process. Because with marketing, the products and services that we offer are conveyed to customers or potential customers. Marketing is the spearhead that makes a company achieve success or decline. Marketing has the main task, namely selling products or services from a company that has a target market in accordance with what has been determined by the company.

Advertisements that we often see on websites and YouTube videos are marketing techniques carried out by a company.

5. Data Collection

Record keeping in business is something that cannot be separated. Both income, expenses, debts, and customer databases must actually be written down. Use it as a media evaluation later. That is, how can we calculate profits and losses if every transaction is not recorded?

6. Maintain Reputation

A company will run properly if it can maintain the reputation of the branding process they have built. Reputation is the good name of a company. A restaurant is famous for its delicious food, one day something goes wrong and the food is bad, then in an instant, the news spreads to be heard by consumers and loyal customers. As a result, the restaurant’s reputation and customers are reduced by more than 50%. In conditions like this, companies usually try to neutralize the situation, including by making press releases, giving big discounts, updating systems and products, to “bribing” consumers with a certain amount of money to guarantee silence.

7. Expand the Network

After everything is going well, it’s time for you to innovate such as increasing performance, expanding the network, opening branches, or adding facilities. It means you are not stuck in that position that’s all. It’s time to develop and create a new innovation.
