Investments one must make for online success

Wednesday, April 21, 2010


More and more people have discovered how the internet can be a gold mine. There are just so many ways to earn money online - and sometimes we have to make an investment to build our portfolio, to establish our names, to make our business secure.

One investment that a person contemplating an online business needs to consider is the web hosting. It's one most important factor in an online venture. Everything on a web site is hosted on a web server and this requires utmost reliability. A web hosting doesn't have to be expensive. This blog is even hosted on a free web hosting server and domain and I haven't had any problem with it yet. However it is important to have one's own "brand name" and hosting a web site under a free hosting service will tarnish somehow a good business name's credibility. Paid hosting services also provide better customer support. Take a look at a comparative web hosting rating and some other considerations in webhosting from Webhostrating.com.

Another consideration that must be taken into account is web design. The look and feel creates the attractiveness and sometimes reliability of a website like the way people like to see beautiful people. Women invest on cosmetics, we have to invest in simple yet elegant "look" for a higher "face value".

Third, one must create quality service. If it is a blog, one must write quality content with good grammar and catchy titles. If it is a video how-to, the instructions must be detailed and direct to the point. So at times, one must hire people who are able to do these things well. However, if already skillful, invest time and talent on these stuff.

It is also necessary that one works on being indexed by leading search engines so exchanging links with other similar websites is a common trend and SEO writers have been in demand. Lastly, advertising might be helpful in attracting visitors and clients to your online service.

I agree with a lot of what you say in your post. The Internet is a gold mine as you have said. There are so many ways to make money, at the same time so many ways to fail.
I dwell in a market of Paid to Click sites, or PTCs as they are more commonly referred to. Many people laugh at the $0.01 a click that you generally get from these sites, but these same people do not really understand that its not your clicks, but the clicks that your referrals make that earn you the real money.
Keep up the good writing and I wish you the best.
