10 Steps to E-Business on a Shoestring, by Dr. Ralph F. Wilson

If you talk to some people they'll tell you that it'll take thousands of dollars -- paid to them, incidentally -- to set up an e-business that can make money.

I disagree. I started my own Internet business on a shoestring in 1995, and know what it takes to work with little or no hard cash. Sure, having some money to invest in design and advertising will be important at one stage, but you need to know just how to invest your precious resources to get the most bang for your buck.

In this 80-page e-book, updated to the Twenty First Century from some articles I wrote some years ago, I help you cut through the clutter and discover the key issues you need to deal with. I help you find some of the best vendors to launch or renovate e-businesses. I'll explain how you can sell products over the Internet and take credit cards for practically no money down -- with just a website and some great products or services.

Here are the 10 Steps that I detail for you:

  1. Define a Unique E-Business Niche
  2. Devise an Adequate Revenue Plan
  3. Name Your Online Business
  4. Assess Your Needs and Resources
  5. Obtain Professional Website Design
  6. Build the Trust Necessary for Success
  7. Plan Low-Cost Marketing Techniques
  8. Determine How to Receive Payments
  9. Deliver Products and Services Efficiently
  10. Provide Excellent Service to Your Customers

I hope you'll consider buying 10 Steps to E-Business on a Shoestring. If you want a lot of high-powered hype, don't buy this book. If you need someone to help create a Na-Na Land dream, this e-book won't help you. But if you need clear-eyed, realistic, step-by-step, no nonsense help through the complex process of developing a profitable online business -- of any kind -- then I'd like to be your guide through 10 Steps to E-Business on a Shoestring. -- Dr. Ralph F. Wilson. (Click here to learn more about me)
