The Advantages of Starting an eCommerce Business

Posted on
ecommerce

If you are tired of the traffic and rat race of working a 9-5 job five days a week you might be interested in starting an eCommerce business. Using just a website to offer goods or services for sale can certainly be a good way to avoid travelling to work and home each day in peak-hour traffic. Your website can offer goods for just local clientele or it can reach a wider customer base, even extending to overseas in many cases.

However, if you decide to do this, it is best not to leave your day job until it is up and running and making a profit. That means you’ll have to put in extra hours at night or at the weekend – probably both – to get it all done. It’s wise to consult with your spouse if you have one, so that you can both be in agreement to this course of action. Doing it all yourself will be require hard work, at least initially; doing it without support from your partner will make it even more difficult.

That said, starting up your own ecommerce business has many positives. (more…)

Think how many hours you and your friends and their friends spend on social media platforms such as Facebook. Many of those people may require what you have to sell and if you can bring it to them where they hang out, they are more likely to see and purchase it. This is the traditional equivalent of a clothing store putting a rack of sale clothes out on the street for passersby to see, or a coffee shop placing chairs and tables out on the street to remind everyone how much they need a coffee break.

A contract is a legal agreement between two parties that can be enforced by a court of law. If you have a business you will need many different kinds of contracts.

Keeping Up Appearances in Business

If you really want to go to what may be the extreme, botox treatment can help to keep that younger, healthier appearance many businesspeople value. However, the smoothest face is of no use if other things are not in place as well. For instance, you need to be well groomed with a nice hairstyle, appropriate clothing and a personality that is welcoming yet professional.

Looks are only part of the equation

People in general have certain expectations of those in business. They expect them to have higher standards in their manner and in their appearance. That is why many people in business depend on Botox. Without facial wrinkles they will look younger and more pleasant. However, looks must be endorsed by personality and manner. No one will care if your face is without the tiniest wrinkle if you snap their heads off or run your business dishonestly.

The Importance of Having a Lawyer in Your Business

Posted on
Lawyer-in-Business

When you start a business you’ll find there are many legal parts that have to be complied with before the business can start operating. You will need to consult with lawyers to ensure everything is setup correctly. But you may not have realised that as the business goes forward you will be highly likely to still need the services of a Perth Lawyer from time to time.

For instance, you may decide to expand the business into another direction, take over another business and add it to your current one, or do any of the many options there are for making sure your business grows well. Even just drawing up contracts with new suppliers or clients is likely to need a lawyer to ensure everything goes according to plan.

Just like it is important with divorce proceedings to have highly experienced family lawyers that know you and your situation intimately, having lawyers that know you and your business and have been with you from the start will certainly facilitate matters.  You won’t have to explain any of the basic details to them because they will already be familiar with your business and what it does. So there will be a good saving in time and you can be sure your lawyers will get everything right without too much discussion.

By keeping your lawyers, you’ll be able to consult with them at short notice if any problems should arise in the business. In fact, having a lawyer on hand will be more likely to prevent any problems in the first place, which is even better.

Conveyancing and Time Frame for Sale of Business

Posted on
Conveyancing

Just as when buying a house, if you buy a business there is conveyancing to be done if you are also buying the property the business is situated on. However, this is not always the case; in fact it is more likely that you will be purchasing a business – the rights, responsibilities and assets – and taking over the lease for the premises rather than buying an actual building or real estate. In either case it is essential to have a commercial lawyer look over all the contracts and ensure they are all in order.

When there is real estate such as land and buildings involved in buying the business it becomes a more complicated process because all the assets, rights and responsibilities are purchased along with the property. This means conveyancing is needed to transfer the land title into your name as well as the other components.

Google PageRank. Is it really that important? Maybe not.

Google-PR

What is Google PageRank?
Well it is a tool invented by Google to help determine how relevant a webpage is to a given topic. First introduced during foundation days of Google by Larry Page (Co-Founder of Google) who felt it was their “key innovation” because it helped them deliver the most relevant search results. Today, it is still a good gauge on relevance, but it should not be given too much glorification. It is NOT the only determining factor influencing Google search results. Truth be told, content is still the biggest factor! Lets look at content and PageRank in a little more detail.

Art is a funny thing. It’s all relevant to where you are viewing it from, this is true both figuratively and literally. Sometimes as an artist you need to push the envelope, bring to light a message in a way that is fresh, different and hope that it’s original. One of my professors told me that it has all been done before, so look to the work of others for inspiration, grow, twist and morph it to make it your own.

Choosing-a-Digital-Agency

When choosing a digital agency, for your online business, it is essential to match the agency with your business model, vision, or both. Some agencies only consider working with large companies, so if yours is a small or medium business, you may be unable to budget for their rates.  In addition, they would use marketing ploys that may not suit a smaller company.

To choose a digital agency that will suit you, you need to list what you require and your proposed budget to offer them. They may then make a counteroffer explaining why they think it would be a better option for your business. Since they are marketing experts, they may well be right. You then have to consider whether you will invest further in your industry.Choosing-a-Digital-Agency
