In the next article, God willing, I'll describe how to customize your iPhone App.

Failure in Business Online

As the business world in general, online business was not necessarily able to provide change of life with an income of tens of thousands of USD in an instant. Moreover, the instant can make you become rich as many of us encounter on most merchandise sales letter.

Besides it takes the concept and business framework that is well, you also have to recognize the things which tend to cause you to fail in online business. Especially for beginners who are still groping or even not plunge into this world even further.

Here are 10 things that can cause you to fail when plunging into the online business:

1. One in Planning
No matter what kind of business you run, you obviously need a business plan with clear objectives. Make a map of short-term plans and long term? Not to forget formulate practical measures to realize the plan.

2. Erroneous Execution work program
If you already have a business plan and work program of practical steps, then make sure you follow it? The plan will not mean anything if you do not follow it. Monitor regularly and make revisions if necessary.

3. Target Early is Too Big
This is one reason that rarely recognized. Most people, when it will start a business tend to directly determine the initial target too big without calculation. Though internal and external parameters have not been well mapped, but has dared to set targets too high.

4. Lack of Knowledge
You must and should have knowledge on what you will do. Do not have to master all, but you are required to know the field you are working on. This can be obtained by searching for related course or find a mentor who is willing to help you. Not that it will deceive and exploit you

5. Not Investing in Business
Is a fact that in this world, everything that has more value would have price. But that does not mean that everything was free it was not good. Only very often I find that the best tools or applications can only be obtained by a number of funds. So, your job is to invest in the tools or proper application.

6. Be Too Passive or Active Too
When a business has been running, the next step is to promote the product. Although you have the best product in the world, without a good promotion, then there will be no one who would know about the product. Moreover, converts it into a sale and purchase transactions.
Similarly, if it is too active, it will make uncomfortable of your potential customers. Instead of being sympathetic, spamming will only damage the image and reputation of your brand. Perform promotion elegantly.

7. Lack of Patience
You will not make hundreds also in when you're just starting the first step. It takes time and testing to build your business and increase your conversion (Read: Fall and Rise Reaching Success). At first, you might actually spend so much capital. And this is a time where a lot of the business people who give up without giving time for their businesses to grow.

8. One in Choosing a Niche
Accuracy in choosing a niche and specific market is a necessity. Find the right niche and learn marketing channel. Do not let you create a new product and then look for the market or to learn how to market it. So it can be calculated potential revenue in the first month.

9. Monotone and N Uniqueness
One mistake that pretty much happened was the absence of product differentiation. Especially for those who play in the crowded market of competitors. Observe the competitors, looking for a gap to innovation, and the sale value differentiator. Come out from the crowd in order to get attention.

10. Lack of Commitment
To be successful, you must be committed to success. Behind every success stories of others, there must be thousands of hours of work that they sacrifice and dedication they spend.

Skill for Online Business

Online business, either as a primary business, or home-based side, requiring skills (skills) specific. General skills according to the type of business, while special skill to adjust whether the main business, or home-based side.

Limitations of time, effort and funds should not discourage efforts to improve the standard of living is better because advances in technology can help minimize these limitations. Online business can be the three pillars of enhancing the well-being of the family.

First, online businesses to major enterprises, alias become the foundation of the family. Because of this, online businesses we must increase its competitiveness in line with the growth of the online business of our competitors.

Second, online business to business side; meant to increase revenue outside the main job, eg as an employee.

And third, the online business for home-based businesses; sepenuhya to serve customers. Perhaps there are some who are confused, what the term home-based business? Because it is "home" can be a business icon, characteristics and appeal, as in the online business, the customer is not always human, but the online system that manages automatically.

These three pillars require skills (skills) general and special skills. General skills in accordance with the type of business, while specific skills appropriate type of three pillars.

General Skill

Skill general focus on the business that occupied. Among others: when pursue an online business whose customers systems such as Google Adsense, Bidvertiser, Amazon, general skill required is the ability of the English language, management blog / web of the content, the ability to write or copywriting, is also search engine optimization (SEO). Not a must pursue this business should be proficient web programming, web animation, web server because they could be handed over to another party. Even for success in Google Adsense can use a free blog, for example from blogspot.com. That is, the content excavation skills are preferred.

The business of buying and selling online at least divided into goods and services. Both have a different character. When buying and selling goods, his form largely already known and can be seen before the transaction. However services, most of which will be known after the production process or after the transaction is completed. Eg interpreting services online, web design, and advertising. In the system of goods, including goods skill in describing harmonize between excellence goods and consumer needs become critical.

Skill regard to data collection is important because consumers list because the existing offline meetings or exhibitions that are physically able to recognize consumers with clear, however, when in the online media, face is not so apparent, let alone the details of his identity. This is useful when offering the product as an effort to reorder back, because a large part of a successful online business is on stimulation reorder.

Online business field hobby, most importantly how to make hobby produce products that comply with the requirements for sale in the online media. This is important because the hobby is very varied and flexible, so that the product should not be abstract, but must be clear. Must have the skill to catch a prerequisite buyer. Not necessarily the same hobby got common ground product easily. An easy way to learn to see the shape of the offer and discussions in online forums. It seems clear, between supply and consumer desires. See the product sold out and less desirable can also be done from the forums of sale, eg www.kaskus.co.id.

In general, any online business, understand the form of payment is the best way to improve the service. The ability to understand the mechanism of payment by Paypal, Western Union, money orders instant, internet banking, SMS banking and Rekber (joint account) is part of our innovation, perhaps even barter model. Although ancient, this time just when the value of the goods is very high and difficult to quantify in dollars, barter is the solution. I once did a barter transaction hobby: bird chirping.

Indeed there are many who equate marketing with selling. That is, success in marketing is measured from the sales. Indeed not, because the end of all the marketing process may be a public perception. As people who can not afford to buy a BMW but understand the car BMW. Marketing in the online business is more focused on efforts to understand the behavior of the public in using online media. Usually begins with an analysis of products, increase visitors to online media, capturing visitors become friends bersosial in online media Facebook or Twitter, and then conduct a more intensive approach with the surprise discount, special price or other.

Special Skill

Special skill to fit each type of business and business classification. Is the main business, sideline or home-based business. For example, when the online business as the main business, how to keep online businesses that still exist and could share time with family, especially about business finance cashflow that does not mix with the family finances, that skill is needed.

Special Skill sideline more emphasis to be consistent during long work as employees can devote time to the office, and after hours to focus on their online business so that they do not hurt each other. Certainly the business carried on by the time the rest must have been really do not deplete energy to meet consumer; for example, buying and selling a business portal, online advertising, and the reviews online.

Home business requires special skills in order to keep the house comfortable for running the business. Which is important to recognize the characteristics of a home business. Eg vehicle parking customers do not disturb the neighbors. Also anticipate children and neighbors in order not to intervene in service. Besides it takes skill to divide the display room as a place to live and businesses as well as the convenience mengoptimalikan communicate with customers.
