Branding

The first step in building your brand image is identifying a unique brand name that does not infringe on any copyrights or trademarks.

Domain name

Finding an available domain name for your website is challenging enough; it is critical that you also are not infringing on someone's trademark.

Company email

After getting your domain name, it is important to set up a company email address. The exact method to set up email will differ based on who will host the email account;

Creating a slogan

A slogan is a short, simple catchphrase that represents your company. If written well, your customers will be sure to remember it and be inspired to buy your product.

Mission statement

A mission statement lets people know what the company stands for, and essentially, what purpose it has for existing. It inspires not only customers to be interested in the company, but employees to want to work for it.

Company logo

Creating a logo and other graphics is necessary to catch the customer’s eye and advertise your personal brand. Depending on your level of creativity and graphical-abilities, you may design a logo yourself or have someone else make it or you.

Business cards

A business card is expected of any business owner who intends to network or share news of their company in a person-to-person environment.

Website

The final step to branding yourself and enabling customers to be aware of your business is to create a website with your company information displayed in an appealing professional manner.

Thank you for your time.

Set up business entity formalities

The formalities of legal business operation vary greatly in each country, state and sometimes even municipality. It would be impossible to provide a full guide for every geography in the world, but the guidelines outlined here are the general factors that are relevant to most business locations (including virtual-businesses.)

Sole proprietor

In United States, every business operates as a "company" entity. There are several types of business entities; the simplest is a sole-proprietorship.

Partnership

This is essentially the same as a sole-proprietor except that the company is formed having two or more partners listed as co-founders. The county-clerks office filing fee may be slightly higher for partnerships.

Corporations

This is a very broad topic, and there are different types of corporations that one can file. Formally, a corporation is an independent entity that encompasses your company, and you (as the founder) would own the company and also be an employee of your own corporation.

Thank you for your time.

Identifying your customer and market

* Who is going to pay you? This is your customer.

* What demographic of person or company will want the product or service that you are offering? This is your market.

* Why will they want it enough to pay you the prices or rates that you charge? The answer to that is your "value proposition."

* Who else is offering a similar product or business? This is your competition.

* Will your product be either solving a need or providing happiness to the customer? Is the product a solution-in-search-of-a-problem that is unlikely to gain a large market-need?

Competition

Competition is a natural part of doing business. A strong value proposition will provide the potential to obtain a market-share from your competition.

Defensibility

How easy would it be for another company to directly compete with your business and take your customers? The degree of difficulty to replicate your business is called defensibility.

Thank you for your time.

Beware of scams

How can you identify common tactics that scammers use, so you can avoid becoming a scam victim.

• always read the fine print on every opportunity before you sign in or provide any personal information always check who is the company or person behind the company.
• If the job is advertising as providing much grater salary than is common for that rate then it is likely a scam.
• If you are offered a job without anyone contacting you or even asking for your qualifications is likely to be scam.
• If you are asked for personal financial information (like your Social Security number) early in the interview process or as part of your initial application. Note, it is totally normal to be asked this information AFTER you accept a job offer.

Thank you
