If you are an entrepreneur or you are in the process of being one, you may be considering whether or not it is convenient for you to start your online business.
In today's article I will give you the 7 reasons why you should do it today, without contemplation.
First of all I want you to get rid of the idea that having your business on the internet is synonymous with quitting work. Your online business is not easy money that comes to you at breakneck speed without doing anything.
Like any other business, it requires a lot of work, perseverance and discipline, especially at the beginning, although it is true that as it evolves, certain tasks can be mechanized that can greatly facilitate your work.
So today I intend to tell you what are the 7 reasons why you should have your own online business yes or yes:
1. Freedom of location and hours
Having your business on the internet or at least an important part of its infrastructure, gives you great freedom, both in location and time.
This means that you can work from anywhere you want as long as two essential minimum requirements are met: have a computer and have a good internet connection.
Freedom of time is also a very interesting element, since your online business will allow you to manage it your way and set your own schedule.
As you can suppose this is a double-edged sword since we can fall into the mistake of getting drunk so freely. All this freedom requires you to be a disciplined person and to have good productivity habits.
2. Multi device management and control
Your business is online, so you can manage and control it from wherever you are through any device (desktop, tablet or mobile).
This can facilitate more real decision-making regarding what is happening in your company at any time.
3. Cost reduction
Although there are certain expenses, the online world drastically reduces the costs of setting up a business in the offline world, that is, in the traditional business world.
Your business in the cloud does not require a rental of a physical location and all the expenses derived from it (furniture, facilities, supplies, cleaning, rent, insurance, taxes, permanent employees…).
The minimum expenses to start your online business are your internet connection, a computer to work, a domain and a web hosting service.
It is true that initially you will have to make an investment in topics such as the design of your website and that there are payment tools for certain functionalities, but the expenses that they suppose are much lower than those that would entail putting your business on the street.
4. Work team and collaborators around the world
Entrepreneurship online makes it easier for your team to no longer have to be in the same city in order to help you offer your services.
You can work hand in hand with people from other cities and countries in one click. Today there are a number of tools that facilitate the teamwork of any business via the internet.
5. Unlimited exposure and visibility
The window to the internet opens the door to infinite markets. Anyone from anywhere in the world can currently buy your products or hire your services in a very simple way.
Search engines and your active presence on the net provide you with exposure without barriers and present you with a very powerful potential market worldwide.
6. Your online business open 24 hours a day all year
No need to tell you that an internet business is "open" continuously. No matter what time or day it is. Your business continues to operate and potential customers can reach you whether you are or not.
7. Technologies at the service of your business
Every day new technological advances arise that use the internet and that you can take advantage of for the benefit of your business.
We are lucky to have technology on our side. Today it is easy to implement new tools in your business, improve processes and update services.
The world is digital. You just have to see the number of stores, consulting services or courses that are offered online and that really work. The profile of the new consumer has changed and you must adapt to it.
Perhaps this moment you are thinking: "This world of internet business cannot be so perfect."
And I want to answer you: "It is not."
Obviously there are certain issues that you will have to take into account and that I will mention "roughly": important learning curve, slow process at first, need for organization and discipline, multidisciplinary knowledge and danger of obfuscation in the face of excess freedom.
However, all this is little compared to what having your infrastructure in the online world can bring you. Beyond the above, for me it is a philosophy of life that sets me free. If you share this philosophy, we can talk.
