In some ways, opening an internet business is a lot like opening a store in the real world. You search out the perfect location to open your store, on the internet, that is your web address. You build a beautiful store that is welcoming and attractive. On the internet, that is going to be your website. In both scenarios, you stock quality merchandise, and you wait for customers to start beating down your doors. And you wait. And sometimes, wait some more. And that is where the similarity ends. If you had a store in the real world, you could at least hope for some traffic to come to you, just because the outside of your store looks interesting. For an internet store, there is no cozy Main Street location that people will notice as they drive by, on their way home from the gym. An internet store must bring traffic to itself, rather than waiting for traffic to happen, and that is where SEO for small business comes in. If your store in the real world wasn't getting enough business from the casual passersby, you would advertise to get people in, right? You would put up a billboard or two, get listed in your yellow pages, maybe take out an ad in the paper or even buy some commercial...more

The elements of a business plan which is intended to encourage outside capital investment into a company must all work in concert towards this goal. These are the major sections of a business plan and how they help to convince funders that funding the company makes sense (and alternately, that there are no major reasons presented to avoid fund the company). Executive Summary: The executive summary must explain the full argument to come in a concise format. Some funders will request to be sent just the executive summary of your plan at first, so it must offer a complete, though simplified, overview of the business opportunity. Company Overview: This section must introduce the company, its founders, its history and legal structure, and key products or services. This should show readers evidence that some work has gone into getting the business off the ground even in the absence of significant funding. Industry Analysis: This is your chance to show your teams great knowledge of the industry you are entering into to show you know the forces and trends impacting the industry now and over the next few years. Customer Analysis: This section should show your deep understanding of the...more
