When you got started in business you probably didn’t figure on how much it would cost to get started, I guess no one really knows until they have done it. and for so many people in business they find they just don’t have enough to really cover their marketing costs to get a decent response.
There is an old saying that I think came out of the dot com crash… “Want to make a cool million in IT? Start with 2 million and wait 12 months…”
But seriously if you want your business to have its best chance of being seen, being heard, or just plain known… then learn more about marketing so your business idea can reach more people than just your family and friends. Want to know more about how to do just that, then chat to your friendly branding expert.

This is something too many people discount when they start their internet businesses. Even if you’re not planning on spending much money to start out with, the time you spend building a business is finite and is worth an amount of money if you can do other things that would earn you more money during that time.

My business plan for e-commerce has been to start small, and re-invest my profits as I go. Simple enough, but it prevents me from taking stupid risks, as I used to do.
Seems to be working, my profits doubled last year and the year before. Hope that keeps going!

When I got started I had no computer and no internet access. I did live near a university, however. Within a few months I had a nice laptop, paid for by my profits.
I decided to only re-invest my profits and not use any other funding. This has make progress slow, but very sure.
