The use of the internet for establishing online business is slowly becoming popular nowadays.
For people who want to put a business right in the comforts of their home, they have all what it needs to take to begin being an entrepreneur and make online transactions if they have knowledge of the steps in putting it up and understand the rigors that go with it.
But having one provides many advantages as compared to a traditional one, like convenience in not having to leave your own home and travel to and from your workplace; the freedom of your own time; reaching a wider scope of customers in less time, and reduced overhead costs as you do not have to spend extra for putting up a physical building as well as the operating costs incurred when you have an office of your own.
Here are the steps to follow when establishing and marketing the online business.

1. Create your own website or blog page to display your products, advertise to let the public know about them, to easily place their orders and make payments, to track and monitor customers easily, and to have customer support twenty-four hours a day.
   Make sure that it will have a professional look to attract clients and encourage them to become regular customers.
   
2. Enroll in a legitimate online training program to show you the ropes in proper and smooth running of your business.
   Find one with superior ratings and will teach you the step-by-step procedure in putting up one; and offers modules as well as video and audio steps for easy instruction.
   
3. Make an efficient and organized inventory of goods as these will show what the stocks are currently on hand.
   Updating keeps track of out-of-stock items so that it will be easy to make orders and keep stock of the needed items.
   
4. Deliver goods at the quickest time possible to keep a good record of marketing them.
   Also, avoid delays, keep clients updated of the status of their orders and maintain constant follow-up on customer service especially when there are damaged goods that needs to be replaced.
   
5. After the business is already established, market the goods by sending e-mails to customers, work on back linking tasks, write SEO articles about the goods and link with affiliate sites.
   The more traffic the page has generated, the more income it gives to the company.
