Good and Bad Sides of Small Business(es)

If you are about to start you're own retail business, any kind, it is important to know what are the advantages of having one, and what is more important it's disadvantages.

Advantages


AVAILABILITY


The most interesting part in small entrepreneurship is it is relatively available, by that I mean that it is luring to all layer of society, no matter what gender, school degree, financial condition and other similar stuff like that for potential entrepreneur. It is because a lot of market ideas and concepts(plans) can relatively easy be achieved  with even small amount of equity.

INNOVATION and MOTIVATION


Small entrepreneurs are a lot more creative and they easily understand i can act more quickly if market changes, unlike big companies. We often think that big companies are not affected, yes they are, in their measures. Small entrepreneurs have work habits, they work a lot longer than usual, harder, creatively and it is all followed with big enthusiasm, which is huge plus, because it is very important thing that makes us more motivated.

MARKET ADAPTABILITY

Small entrepreneurs can react more quickly and they can adjust their business according to sudden market changes, and with little or no problem focus on market needs, which involves problems like number of products, quality, place and prices and other. Imagine this like watching a race with a sedan car with weaker engine and SUV who is more powerful than the sedan car, SUV will probably win on a drag race, but when you need to take a sharp turn, SUV is logy, heavy and it 'suddenly' becomes slow, but ordinary limousine is more agile, it moves quicker when their is 'bumb' on the road. It's the same for big and small companies.

SELF-EMPLOYMENT


Small entrepreneurship is the best occasion  for self-employment people no matter what gender are you, also you are you're own boss which is no.1 factor why people often choose to create their own business.

Disadvantages

POSSIBILITY of FAILURE


When you are about to start you own business, their is a huge risk that you will probably fail at business, small entrepreneurs fail at much higher percentage than big companies. It is due to all the responsibilities rely on one man/woman who owns it, their capabilities, skills and their knowledge.

NO MONEY

While starting you're own business can be relatively easy, for some people it is not, what I mean by this, is people hardly find their way to capital money, or even if they have it enough they usually spend it on unnecessary stuff they don't need to, but they tough they do. It all makes the business very hard to handle, because it seems like you are only giving and investing but you are not getting anything back.

LACK of KNOWLEDGE 

Very few people think they can handle everything themselves, but I sure that almost 99.99% of newbie entrepreneurs think that they can handle everything what comes in their way, even the jobs they don't have a clue about. It is strictly advised to hire specialized people for specialized job, you simply have to let other people do their job to!

How to Make You're Own (Free)Website

Everybody seems to like this word, "free". When you are about to start you're online business you must find the most acceptable prices. One thing you will need for sure, and it is you're own WEBSITE. There are three ways to get one, either you'll pay some freelancer to get the job done for you, or you will build your own with website builder or so called website creator, OR you will build it yourself with some sort of CMS (Content Management System).
Don't worry, we'll go trough all of them. So, let's begin.


1.Freelance Work

There is absolutely nothing wrong with this, maybe it is the best suitable option for you if you have no clue about Internet and computers and how it all works together. Although, choose carefully when you are about to pick somebody, there are a lot of scams on Internet, so beware of people who want to rob you.

Tip: If something seems too good to be true,it OFTEN IS, don't fall on articles like that. There are a lot of websites with freelancers, one of the best are:
                                                                    http://www.freelancer.com/
                                                                    http://www.ifreelance.com/
                                                                    http://www.freelancejobs.org/

There are many other sites offering the same thing, browse and find the one that suits you best.

2.Website Builders

With Website builder you can do lot of things, websites that provides this kind of service usually takes care of hosting as well and domain name. But you should always look for builders with whom you can see from which hosting company are buying, don't just click 'next,next,next,finish'. The good side is that everything is set-up and it is easy to use. The bad side is that there could be a lot of limitations, for example you will have to pay for design, or banner or you wont be able to change position of your banner that you just paid for. So do a research before you click on "buy now". The best Website Creators are:

                                                                    http://www.webs.com/

                                                                    http://www.wix.com/

                                                                    http://www.yola.com

3.CMS (Content Management System)

According to Wikipedia:

"CMS allows publishing, editing, and modifying content as well as site maintenance from a central page. There procedures can be manual or computer based."

First things first; This thing requires some basic knowledge about HTML and CSS, there are a lot of useful Tutorials with who you can get nice results even if you are not PC Geek, but still, if you want to make you're site shine you'll have to put real effort in this. In these three options here, I suggest this one more than the others, CMS has number of advantages. Let's go with some general things you can do with this, you can have unique style design; CMS will allow you to create your own design, you can try, experiment and publish all kinds of web style you wanted, there is really no limit to this, also you can add custom modules and many more. Custom Plugins; without these, you will be overrun by your competitors, this is the 'heart' of every CMS, and it can drastically improve functionality of you webpage.
