Online Business, Where do I start?

BUSINESS. A big word. A big commitment. A big step.
Very quickly, we can round everything up about staring an online business in four very simple steps. Understand. Prepare. Do it. Sell it. There are no short cuts to working at home, let's put it this way. If you're looking for a short cut that you can use to start a work at home business, you may want to ignore this article. But in order to start your own online business, there are tons of things to be done. The best thing is for you to hold on to your day job (if you still have one) and take all four steps we recommend here and THEN you quit your day job.
Understand
Research the industry. That's the first thing you should do if you are really serious about starting an online business. Starting the new online business is not difficult at all. In fact, it is relatively easy and needs minimal funding. Do your homework; look at what your competitors are doing. See how successful they are, emulate their good points and avoid their bad ones. Define your services or products by researching on the feasibility of your online business. Remember, working at home is a career, not a part-time job. Even if you're still under employment, you'll still need to know everything there is to know about your online business environment and industry. No two ways about it.
Prepare
Next, you need to write your work at home business plan. Even if you don't have everything right down pat about your new work at home business, you'll find that the fog of uncertainty will start clearing up when you write your work at home business plan. It's when you're sitting there, writing, preparing and planning your online business that the jigsaw puzzle pieces starts floating into place quite effortlessly.
Don't copy other people's online business plans. That's one big mistake you should avoid. If you want your work at home online business to succeed, come up with your own business plan. This is the only way to go. You can use software or programs to help you write your business plan, but you don't copy other people's plans. The business plan should include information about potential expenses, income, advertising, promotional campaigns, projection of profit...etc.
There typically isn't much in the way of legal paperwork to be done for an online business but before you start working at home, you should check with a lawyer or a friend who has an online business to make sure you're not flouting any rules.
Do it
I must say that this has to be the most trying steps of all. Getting your online business off the ground. Deciding on and registering the domain name, hosting company, designing the website, setting up the merchant accounts, shopping carts, uploading all the pages and images, checking links..etc. Time consuming but at the end of the day, when everything works out, there is a tremendous level of satisfaction..knowing that doing all that enables you to work at home.
Sell it
Now that the business is all set to receive orders and you're all geared up about your new work at home business, it's time to start selling the products and services. Find ways to advertise online and offline, tie-up with partners and affiliates, get others to help you promote your business, use autoresponders, set up your newsletters, write articles, exchange links with other websites, join forums, participate in message boards and groups related to your business..etc. All in the name of selling.
With lots of patience and persistence, starting your online business could be as easy and smooth as you want it to be. Just keep your focus and direction. And remember, nothing happens overnight, so, be patient and persist, and never give up.

 Sharp drop in small business loans (CNN Money)
The credit freeze afflicting America's small businesses shows no signs of thawing. In the last three months of 2008, the Small Business Administration's flagship loan-guarantee program backed less than half the number of loans it approved a year earlier - a sign that fewer entrepreneurs are getting financing to start or expand their ventures.
