This is hardly surprising - it?s hard to ignore the fact that people have made substantial sums of money from simply uploading a video to Youtube. Though the though of being paid handsomely for simply uploading a video is no doubt appealing it seems that the idea of an online business is a more appropriate option for those of you with a good business head.

But as many of you are doubtless aware already, these types of ventures are easier said than done, and to avoid wasting time and effort it is a good idea to consider the following points before embarking on your business venture.

Firstly it is important to consider your business idea carefully, for many entrepreneurs this will not seem too challenging, no doubt you will have already consider a number of options. However it is a good idea to make sure that your idea has a marketable value and that it is related to something you?re already passionate about.

After you?ve decided on a business idea it is then time to begin considering the market. Though it is a great start, having an amazing idea will not guarantee you success if there is no market for it. However, the more successful ideas are ones with bigger markets. By choosing to conduct some preliminary research into your market you will be able to save on time and money. After scoping out your potential market you can then start to think of a name for you business, this might not seem like it is of great importance, but in actual fact it can have a noticeable impact on the success of a business. Your company name needs to be descriptive, catchy, and available as a domain name and company name.

After these preliminary steps have been taken it?s time to start planning the finer details with an in depth business plan, remember a good business plan is always the foundation of a good business, and failing to plan is planning to fail. You need to consider all aspects of the business, its strengths, weaknesses, estimated overheads, start-up costs, income suppliers etc. The more detail you can go into there less likely you are to run into problems further down the line, try to identify any potential problems and think of the most appropriate solution.
