3 Dos Donts of Setting Up an Online Business!

I want to have my online business is a great
thought to have. It is a sign that you have an
entrepreneurial psyche. But talk to someone who
already has an established online business and
they will give you a whole list of things that
they wish would not have done. I am not trying to

discourage you here. I am an entrepreneur myself
and run a Magento Development Company. But I
believe that setting up an online business is
not a piece of cake. There are a lot of aspects
you need to consider. After all, the decisions
that you make initially will have a huge impact
on your business at later stages. So, before
you think, Big deal! I just need to pay 12 for
a domain name, choose a free website template,
and get going consider these dos and
donts. Let us start with the Dos
first. 1.Have a business plan Remember the
adage Look before you leap? Well, it kind of
applies here. Before setting up an online
business, you need to understand that a business
plan is the blueprint for your business. When
you write down your business plan on a piece of
paper, you would know whether it is feasible to
start or not. Also, you would be able to focus
on the financial and operational objectives of
your business, like market planning

and budgeting. If you want to have a glitchfree
start up period with lesser problems, it is the
best thing to do.
2. Know Your Audience The statement My product
and services are for everyone is a passé. It is
better to get over it and understand that every
business is not for every customer. And that is
fine. First, you need to define your target
audience and conduct a survey to find out how
you can meet the needs of your customers. Once
you get the results, you would know how to serve
your customers better. Do not be surprised if
you witness your

business performing better than your competitors!
Knowing your audience can work wonders for
you! 3. Accept Criticism Probably, there are
more pessimists than optimists out there. But
when you are starting new, it is good to give an
ear to your wellwishers. Let us say someone
advises you to hire a dedicated Magento
developer and get your website developed in
Magento. You should way the pros and cons of it.
Small online business owners often choose
WordPress or Shopify to start with. But with
Magento, you get to have all the solutions that
an eshop would need. So, listen to the
feedbacks as it will help you understand your
customers, offer a better product, and provide
better customer services. Now, let us talk
about the donts 1. Do Not Procrastinate the
Launch I am sure you might have set targets
before launching your product. For example, I
want at least 10,000 visitors to visit my
website before I launch a product. Or you might
say, I cant promote my services and work on
product launch at the

same time. Now this is a tricky place to be. And
the sooner you get out of this trap, the better.
When you are planning to establish a business
that sells, you must take risks and come out of
your comfort zone. Practice how to create a
product, generate a buzz, set targets, and
launch it on time. Approach an ecommerce web
development company to help you if you want.
Only then, you will start generating
revenues. 2. Do Not Have Unrealistic
Expectations There is no such thing as an
overnight success. And you can certainly not
achieve it if you are planning to run your online
business along with the job you have. You need
to give complete and undivided attention to
building your business. Interact with other
entrepreneurs, know what did it take for them to
achieve the success they aimed for. Once you get
their feedbacks, ask yourself questions like,
Am I prepared to do what it takes? Can I wait
for the number of years it takes for me to
achieve success? If you think you had
misconceptions about certain aspects, rework on
your original plans.

3. Do Not Ape Your Competitors During the initial
years after my business launch if someone asked
me a question like, Why should we choose you for
Magento Ecommerce Website Development? I used
to give generic answers like Coz were better
than our competitors. But later, I realized
that such generic reasons do not work anymore.
It is very important to stand out from your
competitors and offer them with something unique
each time. Think about what is the USP of your
business and

put it forth for your customers to know. Work
towards creating an advantage for your customers
and make them feel that they took a good
decision by planning to business with you. Only
then you will be able to establish a competitive
edge over others. Winding up There is no
denying that the espace has provided the
entrepreneurs of today with ample amount of
opportunities to establish their business. But
one needs to ensure that one indulges into best
practices before launching a business. So,
conduct RD about your industry, try to know
about your competitors, come up with a fantastic
business plan and above all, know what not to do
when setting up an online business. The
abovementioned dos and donts are stemming out
of my experiences. It does not mean what works
for you will work for me. I am sure there might
be several other aspects that I might not have
mentioned here. View original Source
