Your Web site is here to serve your customers—not impress them. You job is to design a site and offer a shopping experience that gives consumers a quick, safe, and easy way to purchase something from your Web store.
So before you sit down with your Web consultant, and before your Web designer puts pointer to screen, be sure the 10 ways to drive customers away from your site are avoided.
That might be funny to you, but treating your customer with no respect will drive him away from your site for sure. And one sure-fire way to drive him away is to confuse him.
Keep your navigation simple. You’re there to sell. Customers are there to buy. Make it easy for them to find your products and buy them. If they can’t find what they want and order it in three mouse clicks, you run the risk of losing them. So, organize your site material logically from the customer’s point of view. Be sure to include clear directions for navigating the site from your home page. Remember that the home page of your Web store serves a variety of functions. It’s a map of your store, a welcome mat, and a marketing message all in one. Read the rest of this entry »

Money is the oil that greases the often squeaky wheel of American businesses, large and small. While the primary ingredient of small-business success is hard work and lots of it, money is still essential to launch and then maintain the often-spotty first year of a small-business’s existence.
Now that you have a good idea of how much money you need to start your business, and how much you’ll need to generate to pay the bills every month, where are you going to find it? It’s a sign of a true entrepreneur to believe that your talents and energy levels are so wide-reaching that the cash will start pouring in—and never let up—from the first week your business is open.

In the course of running your business, you will have to deal with not one but two budgets: one for your business and one for yourself.
A business budget is also referred to as an operating budget, and it differs from the budget you developed for your start-up costs for several reasons: After operating your business for even a short time, you will have a much better idea of where the money goes, as well as what comes in. You’ll also have some sense of when the money tends to arrive in your bank account, so you’ll also know when you can expect to be able to pay your own bills. Read the rest of this entry »

There’s a big difference between a trend and a fad. Though it is possible to start and then grow a wildly successful business that revolves around a fad—think products tend to burn hot and fast and therefore usually extinguish themselves before a year or two has passed. The upside is that you can make a lot of money in a short period of time, which you can then use to start another business, preferably one with more staying power. Read the rest of this entry »

The Higher Self is simply another title for the stronger, truer and real you, who, although never absent, is seldom paid attention to. When something just right for you arrives out of the blue, for instance, it is because your Higher Self is acting m. the interests of your honest desires. It is of course easier to believe that it is simply ply luck, coincidence, or ‘too good to be true’, which is why opportunities are often ignored. Because your Higher Desire Power always operates indirectly, it causes you to take the longest way round as the quickest way for you to attain your desire. If necessary, therefore, it will cause your well-laid plans to be overturned, resulting in you thinking that failure and defeat, rather than success and victory, have come to you.
