Running a small business in the internet nowadays are really challenging especially when you have lots of competitors and you have a small budget within your pocket. Aside from those factors, Google animals are always updating almost every now and then and if you  don’t know how to struggle against this predators; you might ended up like a beggar.  Although, we know there’s no basic arithmetic formula in a successful business but here are some of the essential tips that might help you.

Planning.  Plan what kind of business you want to pursue. Make a clear vision of your business, set goals of what you want your business to achieve. Make sure you can also apply all the skills you have and the passion and desire to manage such kind of business.  Choosing the name/brand and logo for your business are also very essential because this is the way your customer will remember you.  And prepare for yourself that your business is a 24/7 commitments – no vacations, no day-offs and no excuses.

You must also determine whether you need to hire people. If you are going to hire, ask yourself - what are the qualities you need from them? That person must be well equipped, must know their responsibilities and know how to handle the job you are setting on him.

Target Your Customer. Focus on the people who will buy your product.  Go on social media sites and forums that you think their topic is related to your business. Join their discussions and share some of your ideas. You might not know that those people are talking about your product or business. You can also participate on blog discussion.  People might notice your idea or opinion and in some instances, you might end up those people as your regular visitors or buyers. If you have extra budget, get some advertising campaign about your business and provide some information about your product. Have something to offer like discounts, coupons, freebies or bonuses because a potential customer might move into a closure of sale.  Like for example, when I visited Rustenburg, I saw an advertising site wherein its aim is only to provide information or anything you want to know about Rusties. Everything is tackled there from businesses, to schools, jobs, games, events etc and it’s really informative. So don’t hide your product... spread the world.

Write Good Content. Writing about your product is also a key or additional factor in acquiring customer. Be unique and keep the article more interesting.  Avoid redundant information that will keep your customer away from you.   Be creative and original when writing content. Adding some pictures or videos will add some spice on your content.

Have the Best Quality of Being A Boss. A wonderful package of creating a successful business is the way how you treat the people around you.

• Don’t be too bossy. 
• Create a nice relationship with the people you hire and with your customer. But let them know their limitations.  Respect and give credits to people.
• Be attentive of what your customers need on you.  
• Accept negative feedbacks because this is the way how you will improve your business.

Like I said before, being successful in a business requires a lot of effort and the passion to drive your business. Business has ups and downs so don’t expect that you’re always on top nor you are always at the bottom. Believe in yourself and have fun doing what you want.
