In a partnership, two or more people run a business together. Each partner shares the responsibility of running the business. Has a equal shares in any profit or loss, unless a formal partnership agreement exists that states otherwise. Each partner is liable for all debts that exist within the partnership.

There are different forms of companies , non profit , limited liability etc. For the purposes of an online business the most suitable would be (Ltd). A Limited Liability Company is where the company exists as a legal entity in its own right. It is separate from its owners or shareholders and owns all assets and liabilities of the business. It is also responsible for any of the business debts. If there are any shareholders their liability for any losses is limited to their share of the companies ownership.

Why you need to Develop a privacy policy and display it on your website. How to create a privacy policy.

Many consumers are concerned about engaging in electronic purchases and transactions online for fear or concerns about the collection of their private personal data and how it may be used.

Many organizations refuse to do business with a site that has not a publicly displayed privacy policy including some of the larger affiliate programs and e-commerce companies.

By outlining how you store data and what it is used for by publishing a privacy policy you encourage openness and build trust amongst your potential clients and business partners. In some Countries it is statutory for any merchant selling goods and collecting data to have a public ally accessible policy particularly if you will be storing information gathered from children or minors.

In your privacy policy you should outline

*

what information you gather and where it is stored.
*

who has access to it.
*

what security measures are in place to protect illegal access.
*

What choices your visitors have in regards to your policy
*

where and how to get feedback and request deletion of their details.

Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development has developed a privacy policy generator which is free to use and simple to follow you just input the answers appropriate for your site and it will generate a policy for you.

If you are selling goods or service or make any statements about earning income or revenue you should also develop a earnings disclaimer document or policy and have this publicly accessible too.

Email Program

The first and most important software you’ll need is a quality email program. Although most Internet Service Providers include email accounts for their customers, these accounts aren’t adequate for an Internet business — especially if you get a large amount of email. Not only do the email addresses contain your ISP’s name, but they are also very limited on features and options.

There are many email programs available on the Internet. However, the best program I’ve found is Eudora. Eudora is a standalone email program that works with any ISP. It will enable you to easily organize your email by filtering your messages into specific mailboxes. This feature alone can save you a great deal of time. What’s more, your email address will be your own domain — not someone else’s.

Mailing List Software

Collecting your visitors’ email address is one of the most important parts of developing a successful Internet business. You must develop a database of potential customers if you truly want to succeed. Publishing an ezine is a great way to accomplish this. In order to do so, you must have a good mailing list program that will enable you to send your potential customers personalized messages.

HTML Editor

Your website is the storefront of your business and is one of the most important factors in determining your success. In order to design your website, you’ll need to get a good HTML editor.

Microsoft Frontpage

Before you begin the actual design process, I highly recommend that you download and install two web browsers — Internet Explorer and Netscape Navigator. These are the two most widely used browsers on the Internet. However, they are not created equally. Your page might look great when viewed through Internet Explorer, but may not display well when viewed through Navigator. It is very important that you view your website through both browsers, and design your pages accordingly.

Graphics Editor

Graphic design is an intimidating subject for many Internet entrepreneurs. However, most of us must learn some basic design techniques in order to avoid the high costs of hiring a professional designer.

In order to create or edit your graphics, you’ll need to invest in a good graphics program. The most popular program used by Internet marketers is Paint Shop Pro. This powerful program is the only program you’ll need to design professional looking graphics.

Zip/Unzip Program

Zip files are used to compress and transport file archives over the Internet. It is the preferred method used for electronic file distribution, as rather than downloading several different files, you can simply download one Zip file. In addition, the download time will be minimized, as the files within the Zip archive are compressed.

Once a Zip file is downloaded, it can be easily opened and extracted (unzipped) with a Zip/Unzip software program.

Although there are many Zip software programs available on the Internet, WinZip is the most popular. WinZip makes working with file archives simple.

FTP Program

File Transfer Protocol, better known as FTP, is a procedure used to upload and download files to and from your web server.

In order to use FTP, you’ll need to download and install a software program on your computer. The most widely used FTP program is WS FTP Pro.

Text Editor

Text editors have a variety of uses such as writing HTML, editing scripts, and writing ezine articles — just to name a few. NotePad is an excellent text editor and is most likely already installed on your computer. However, it can’t handle large files and is better suited for smaller files. You may find that you’d like an editor that is a little more powerful. I use a great program called NoteTab Pro. This powerful editor will enable you to edit large files, format your text, convert your text to HTML, and even includes a spellchecker and thesaurus.

Ad Tracking

Testing and tracking your marketing strategies is an essential part of your success. I recommend using a great script called LnkinLite. It’s simple to use and will assist you in tracking all of your strategies.

Financial Management

In order to keep track of your business financial matters, you’ll need to invest in a good financial management software. The best program I’ve found is Quicken. However, as this program is very difficult to use and understand, you may want to use a spreadsheet program, such as Microsoft Excel, and set up your own system.

Tax Program

Filing your taxes and keeping up with the ever-changing tax laws can be very intimidating. However, if you keep good records and use a good tax program, you can file your taxes with ease. I highly recommend using Turbo Tax. This great program will make the process a lot easier and even enable you to file your taxes electronically. What’s more, it will even allow you to import your Quicken files.

Although this list of software is far from complete, it will provide you with a basic guideline to get you started.

If you’re serious about your business and you really want to succeed, purchasing software is an absolute must. Do your homework and select software that best suits your needs. It will be well worth the investment.

Create a marketing calendar:

Use an automated software program that brings up a list of customers or prospective clients at set intervals. Just because they may not have responded to your first contact doesn’t mean the door has been closed to you.

It’s very easy to get sidetracked or even forget why a certain website was bookmarked, so send out a reminder mail. By using a calendar you can touch base with all your clients again and remind them you’re still around. Sometimes that’s all it takes to help people decide. They may not have responded to your first series, as they identified you with the so many “flash in the pan” marketers out there today. By touching base again you are showing them you’re serious and have “stickability”.

Every week have a set amount of time put aside to develop new advertising sources:

If you keep using the same sources week after week, chances are sooner or later your advertising will lose its effectiveness, as you’re just reaching the same group of people over and over again.

Rotate your ads and try different formats and keywords for the same products. Have different types of ads that will appeal to different personalities.

Here are some formats to try. Each will appeal to a different demographic or personality.

- The Big Bold Claim headline. Use power words like millionaire, expert, money making claims, search results, unlimited website traffic.

- Decision time. Start these types of ads with a question or a problem and provide the answer in the decision process. Examples are: ‘Click here to find out how’, ‘Fill in this form to get more information’, ‘Buy this product to achieve at least the same results but probably better …..’

- The humble, helpful marketer. A large percentage of people will be turned off by the first two approaches so offer some help in a humble way. ‘I’m not an expert but this method has brought in some surprising results’, ‘If you’d like some information that may assist you in your online…..’

- The Deal Breaker. Add some other products and a message telling them that if they pass up on

this offer they will miss out on all these other great free offers. Set a time limit, or a limited number,

e.g. ‘Buy today and get this free download plus 1000 targeted visitors.’

Once you have got your series of ads developed then start adding new sources to promote them.

Here, downloading the Alexa toolbar and using search results will come in handy. Search for new safelists , forums, classifieds, ezines and articles sites you haven’t used before. Make it a priority to start at the ones with the best Alexa ranking. People don’t visit sites that don’t work, so if you check the traffic and the ranking is good then you have more of a chance of that providing some success for your adverts.

If it’s a website you are promoting then keep adding relevant links. Any link that brings in viewers who were interested in your content is more likely to convert them to signups or sales. You should always be on the lookout for new relevant links no matter who your prospects are.

Start a Blog, add metatags similar to your website name and post and ping every relevant article you write to that Blog. Add every relevant link including Directory listings to your Blog. By pinging your Blog with every update you do and rss feeding it to Yahoo, you will get not only your site indexed quickly in relevant searches, but also your inward links.

Find ways of getting your viewers to recommend your site to others. Adding incentives will go a long way in helping you to achieve this.

Register your domain name for more than a year. This may be all it takes to help your pr and move you up in the search results.

Keep submitting fresh articles and resubmit old ones to new sites.

Don’t stop using what works, until it stops working.
