Making money in an Internet business requires the same dedication and commitment you need to make money in any business. So stick with it, and you'll see profits in what seems like no time at all.

Create and refine your business plan. An Internet business is no different from any other business, in that you need a plan to establish goals and strategies for success.

Design your Web site. Use eye-catching layouts and graphics, but keep it as simple as possible. Your primary concern when designing your site should be ease of use for your customers.

Make sure you're in compliance with local regulations and ordinances. Even if you're running your business from your home, you might still need to be licensed and insured to meet the requirements of your county or city.

Promote your business. Register with search engines, and exchange banner ads and links with businesses complementary to yours. Advertise online and offline.

Pay attention to the quality of your customer service. Do you offer varied methods of payment and a secure ordering process? Do you guarantee your products or services and provide a simple return procedure? Put the convenience of your customers first, and you'll quickly develop the customer loyalty that is a key to success.

Mind the details. Keep accurate financial, sales and inventory records so that you always know whether your business is turning a profit.
