Business is Simply Business. Or is it that simple?

[businessmentor4u]

Every business is not just like "any old business"; that is for sure. Whether the business is a single entrepreneur, a home industry, an Internet Marketing business, a small manufacturer, a huge manufacturing concern, a conglomerate, and so on, every business is unique and needs to be addressed and managed as such within it's unique sector.

But, at the end of the day, when one analyses the operating results of any business with a view to planning the future, reading the bottom line, drafting next year's budget, costing individual products and services, assessing staff performance and salary increases, restructuring production and procurement of goods and materials, it in fact does boil down to exactly the same thing; managing the business optimally in order to maximize profitability and growth in the short, medium and long term.

The same questions arise, such as:

• Are all our products cost effective to produce?

• Can we save on the procurement of materials or products?

• How do we improve productivity and maintain quality?

• Is our margin on each product sufficient?

• Will we be able to grow the business, and if so, starting when and how?

• Are we targeting the right market?

• Is the business self-sustainable?

There are hundreds of questions that arise at all times in the business environment, in all sectors, and it would not be right to even attempt to cover them all in the leading thread of this discussion.

The basis of my knowledge and experience is a commerce qualification and thirty years experience, at various levels, in the accounting and business environments, plus fifteen years as a writer and a business mentor.

However, my knowledge and experience of Internet Marketing, as a business process, is almost zero. Business on the Internet is about to boom.

Regarding doing business on the Internet

What are the questions that need to be asked in terms of the regular business management as mentioned above?

• Do the abovementioned standard business questions still apply? For example, "Is the cost of PLR content really worth what it contains, or is it better to write it oneself?" More cost effective to produce?
  
• Where can I source quality digital products?
  
• How does one deal with all the hyped-up marketing Emails one receives?
  
• How is the best way to project a professional business image, without the hype and Spam?
  
• Which is the best form of advertising on the Internet; traffic exchanges, text ads, banner adverts, opt in mailers; and why so?
  
• Once again, I won't list all the questions at this juncture.
