It’s a huge task to accurately determine the number of new online businesses startups on a monthly or yearly basis. The picture is further complicated when you consider it on a global scale and in different languages. But just to give you an idea of the extreme dynamic involved…

Lets consider the .com TLD, only.

During the month of October 2007, in a given 24 hour period there are 74 million active domain registrations, almost 230 million deleted domains, a little over 551,000 new domains, and almost 45,000 domains become expired.

Half a million new domains each day. It’s safe to assume there are probably tens of thousands of new business startups every year.

230 million deleted domains and 45,000 become expired every day. How many of those do you think are failed businesses?

Among other things, the internet has become a symbol of hope for hundreds of millions. Hope for a better life, or personal salvation. Enter the new online business startup.

Starting a new business online is serious, confusing, and even bewildering for the uninitiated. And doing a search for “starting an online business”, or even worse…”making money on the internet”, can lead to deep and dangerous waters. This is true even for those who have some experience with doing business online.

What exactly does it take to get your online business off to a great start? What will give you the highest chances for success?

Many factors will have a direct bearing on the success of your new business. Before we get into the “nuts ‘n bolts” of doing business online, lets talk about the human nature side of business success. It’s a critical component that all highly successful entrepreneurs recognize and would never dismiss.

Perhaps the single most important element to success in any endeavor is the ability to focus. Being able to focus on your new business…and remain focused. Cultivating and internalizing that one habit of being focused will put you ahead of at least 90% of the rest.

Too many business startups either fail or die a slow death through stagnation because of lack of focus. One recent survey of US small businesses found that almost 50% fail to market their businesses on a daily basis. That’s an amazing number and helps to understand why close to 80% of all new businesses fail within several years.

One of your goals is to consistently focus on building your new business. You must nurture it until it enters into profit. Then you continue to market, advertise, and constantly look for growth and development avenues.

Now lets talk about the initial stages of your new online startup…

You’ll need to answer some important questions. For example: What is the purpose of your web site? What specifically will it accomplish for your business? Exactly who is your target market? Who are you trying to reach? And how will you do that? Do you know where to find them? In addition…

What kind of information, or content, does your site need? How will you market and advertise your business? What are the most cost-effective ways to market and advertise?

One of the most cost-effective ways to market your business is through search engines. The great attraction to search engine rankings is that it’s free advertising. And the exposure to massive search traffic can make all the difference between success and failure. It can make the difference between mediocre and dazzling profits.

But achieving high ‘organic’ search engine rankings requires highly specific knowledge and information. It also requires focus, dedication, and consistent efforts. And most people don’t have the time to learn “accurate” SEO, search engine optimization, principles. There’s a lot of well-intended but inaccurate information regarding SEO available for free. Compounding the SEO issue is the tendency of search engines to periodically change their ranking algorithms.

Royal Atlantis has helped hundreds of online startups and existing businesses achieve desirable and profitable search engine rankings. This has been accomplished through appropriately descriptive content and professional SEO scripting.

Lets talk about your website…do you know?

What’s the most appropriate design for your business? Every marketing niche has a target market. The people who belong in that marketing niche. People in different niches respond in different ways to different designs.

Here’s something about human nature that you can use in your success.

All people are creatures of habit. And it doesn’t matter about what kinds of habits. We all just like familiarity in varying degrees. So how will this help you?

Simple. You’ll take advantage of that fact through branding your business. If you as a person are the business, you’re a consultant for example, you’ll need to brand your self.

Proper and effective branding of your business is extremely powerful. Your credibility will grow in the eyes of your market. Don’t forget how critical trust with your potential customers. You’ll be perceived as the expert in your niche. People love experts. You don’t need a Ph.D. to be thought of as an expert. You just need to begin branding your self or your business and deliver quality products or services.
