You know how the old saying goes: Early to bed, early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise. It couldn’t be more true in regards to someone looking for absolute marketplace domination.

But the question is, what marketplace are you looking to dominate so early in the morning? And how will being quick to act make you smarter and bring you money?

The Internet, of course!

After all, the Internet is the biggest, baddest, all encompassing, all singing, all dancing advertising platform that has ever existed. It gives start-ups and entrepreneurs the opportunity to give what they have to offer to the world in so many ways that, if you were to add them up, your head would literally spin off of your shoulders.

… and it all begins with your website.

Vitality as a Brand

To be viable in the now and future, it is absolutely vital for your existence to build a brand on the Internet through a website (even before social media). Sell it to the masses. Share who you are and what you can do for others. Your vitality depends on it. A well-developed website is worth every cent you put into it.

Your Website Can’t Suck

It’s important to be brash about this. If your website functions poorly, links back to itself, is missing all of the newest bells and whistles, and resembles a Geocities website circa 1998, you need someone to scrap what you have and start again. Bottom line. Creating a good website that you can make money off isn’t easy and it’s not supposed to be. You can set off on the road to creating a great website by looking at some cheap reseller hosting providers who can give you website the infrastructure it needs to be successful.

Analytics… You Need Them

For your website to be a properly functioning website that whirs and hops and brings in revenue and return visitors, you have to (not optionally) have some form of analytics running on each page. For the best, check out Google Analytics.

Blog Like a Dog

Not only is blogging 1-3 days a week great for SEO (search engine optimization), it is on the best ways for your to share why you deserve another look. It is also a great way to roll out programs, share product information, and show what you are active in. Not a great writer? There are some great blog writing services out there.

A Mobile/Optimized Website

Finally, smart phones and devices are dominating the market. More people are surfing the web without a computer than ever before. This means you need either a mobile version of your website or, at the very least, a web optimized version. If a person finds you while using their iPhone, and your website doesn’t work, they’ll move on. It is a fact.

But it doesn’t end there. A website is just the beginning of your journey.
