What Reasons Do People Have For Creating Business Websites?
There's many reasons people have for creating a business website. Most of them are legitimate, and make sense, but there are a few reasons that don't tend to work well. Here are the common ones that tend to bring success:
- Having a hobby and wanting to earn a few extra dollars from having a hobby website.
- To provide some credibility to a regular bricks and mortar business, and/or to generate business for the regular business.
- To earn a substantial amount of money over the long term (having a business based primarily on the Internet
In addition there's the reason that doesn't work well over time, and it's one of the prime reasons people fail on the Internet.
Wanting to have a hobby site, and earn a few bucks doesn't really require any or much strategic planning. Wanting to provide credibility for a bricks and mortar business requires more thought, and the more planning done, the better.
If the goal is to run a long term business on the Internet, proper strategic planning is ESSENTIAL.
