Now more than ever is the time to start a business online. Microsoft was started during a recession, and a recession is often the best time to start a business. Before you get started, there are certain things you need to do. It's a mistake to jump into starting a business before you have made built a firm foundation. To help you get started, I've outlined five strategies that will help you get started quickly and start earning money:

1. Start by choosing the business model you want.

There are really only four main business models to choose from: your own products, affiliate products, MLM, and services. Your business can be a combination of these four models. This will help you earn multiple streams of income and not put all your eggs in one basket. Start by choosing only one business model at first. This will allow you to focus on earning money only one way. Learn everything you can about the business model you have chosen. It's important to do your homework at this stage and learn everything you can so that you lay a solid foundation for building your business. I would recommend you read at least three books on starting an online business, MLM, or affiliate marketing prior to doing anything so you can learn what you need to know to get started.

2. Make a plan.

Once you know the requirements of building a business, and you've chosen a business model, then your next step is to formulate a plan. You will want to answer several questions first? What type of websites will you build? Will you focus on building a list or building content to draw your readers to your site? How will you market your business? Will you outsource the tasks that need to be done for your business or will you do them yourself? Formulate a plan for how you will handle these various issues.

3. Implement your plan.

Once you have answered all these questions, then your next step is to implement your plan. If you plan to outsource, choose a reputable freelance site to get your work completed. You may also want to consider asking friends who are in business who they use to help build their businesses. If you plan to do it yourself, then gather the tools you need to help you get the job done. There is plenty of free software available on the internet to help with building websites and squeeze pages, as well as implement email marketing campaigns.

4. Market consistently.

There are certain internet marketing techniques you may use that are absolutely free. They are also the most effective ways to market your business online. Examples include: article writing, search engine optimization, free classifieds, free eBooks and reports, videos, blogging, and other types of content. You can create and distribute these types of content, and they will work as mini sales machines for you 24/7.

5. Do a periodic assessment of your business to find out if you are on track.

If you're not testing and tracking your efforts, you won't know how your business is doing. Keep your business books. Income - Expenses = Profits. This will tell you if you are making money, so it's important that you do this.

Before you start a business, careful planning is order to help you get to where you need to be. The most important part is to make sure that once you have created your plan that you take action. Without action, you cannot succeed.
