3 Steps to Establish an Online Business
By: Craig Friesen

With your Internet business under way it is important to work at taking it to the next level. Building trust and confidence in your customers will make it more likely they will buy from you. Here are some simple steps to build trust and establish your online business.

Step One: Show the world you are serious. You want potential clients to see that your business is serious and will be around for a while. Your website should be neat and professional - make it easy to navigate around the site with the content well organized and free of unnecessary advertisements. Your contact page should carry your business information and a quality photo of yourself will help convey trustworthiness. Should you decide to insert ads into your site content then try to keep them relevant while avoiding clutter. Flash introductions, animations and images should be used carefully to focus customer attention where it is desired rather than scaring visitors away.

Step Two: Build a social network. Discussing your business with people online is just as important as it is offline. To be sure social networking can have a far greater impact online. Join forums and make use of the social networking sites to show interest in what others are doing and to hopefully receive reciprocal attention on your online business.

If customers send you support requests or questions about your company and products then be sure to respond as quickly as you can. A quick response that is professional and polite can help boost confidence that you are the owner of an established online business.

Step Three: Market your business professionally. The only thing worse than poorly designed advertising for securing your position as an established online business is being seen as a spammer. Using free software to create your banners and buttons can save money but if the result is less than professional then it might adversely affect your business image. You want to increase the level of comfort and trust your customers have that you are not a "here today gone tomorrow" business so pay someone to design your images if you need to.

One of the advantages an Internet business has over a bricks and mortar one is the tremendously lower cost in creating a professional image. It does not matter to most consumers whether you are located in a house or office building - the impression created by the website and marketing is of greatest concern. Achieving a level of trust on the Internet can happen in days or weeks while in comparison it may take months or even years for an offline business to reach the same level. Take pride in your Internet business and approach it professionally; soon you will notice an increase in the confidence of customers as they see you have an established online business.
