StoresOnline Rule Number 1: Learn as Much as You Can. One of the most important lessons you'll ever learn is to ask all the questions you don't know the answers to. Online businesses are very different from their brick and mortar cousins. The oldest, most archaic online store dates back to the 1980s! StoresOnline has been providing websites for at least a decade now. With so much new technology you must stay informed. StoresOnline offers various means to stay up-to-date. Read the merchant newsletter. Go to the Boot Camp training. Spend time exploring the software.
StoresOnline Rule Number 2: Work from a List. You should know what you're doing each morning. I have a stack of blank envelopes at my desk. I have no idea how I started using envelopes, but they work for me. I number ten items I need to accomplish before the end of the day. For example, "Get My StoresOnline Site Optimized" or "Call StoresOnline Customer Service for assistance" and etcetera. I don't stop working until I've finished them and I don't keep working once I'm done. It is a powerful tool to keep you focused, especially if you've decided to run your business out of your home.
StoresOnline Rule Number 3: Diversify, Diversify, Diversity. No farmer ever puts all his eggs in one basket and neither should you. All industry experts including StoresOnline understand and what major corporations spend millions annually doing is setting up multiple StoresOnline web pages. You should have, at minimum, two to three StoresOnline web pages for your business. The only way to succeed with an online business is to attract buying customers. The more nets you have the more fish you'll catch!
StoresOnline Rule Number 4: Have a Savings Fund. Ideally a person should have three to six months of living expenses stored in a savings account. That way you're prepared in case any unexpected expenses come your way. This savings fund will help you as you focus on building your StoresOnline website. If you keep your savings fund well stocked, you won't need to worry about short term operating expenses because you have a nest egg to help cover those costs. StoresOnline wants you to be a success, so we hope that this opinion is one that you take seriously.
StoresOnline Rule Number 5: Take Calculated Risks. Starting a business or taking a business online is a risk. Everything in business has a risk factor that could threaten its success. StoresOnline customers can put risk in two categories: Facts of Life and Facts of Being the Boss. What are Facts of Life? You're going to have new competition. StoresOnline is constantly evaluating the competition. StoresOnline wants you to plan and prepare for those contingencies. And Facts of Being the Boss? You have to make the decisions. Are you going to offer a new product? How much should you spend on marketing? Don't be flippant in decision making, but take the time to make decisions you can stand by. It has been said that StoresOnline Merchants can be successful by making well thought out decisions and having the ability to follow through.
StoresOnline Rule Number 6: Prescribe Patience. StoresOnline wants you to remember that your success will come with time and effort. StoresOnline gives you superior technology as a foundation and customer service to assist you. You will work to create and develop your website. But do not expect overnight success. Be patient and consistent in your business endeavors. StoresOnline already knows that an online store can be a worthwhile investment. Be patient and don't panic if things don't go perfectly the first time you try them.
StoresOnline Rule Number 7: Build on Success. If you've started a successful business chances are you had something to do with that success. StoresOnline has seen many merchants have success with one website through careful efforts. These same StoresOnline merchants have then in turn created additional StoresOnline sites based on those same successful business principles. StoresOnline wants you to be a success, so it might be a good idea to continually make note of what works and what doesn't and test what you can do to affect your success online.
