Siddhartha Shanker   Website Consultant and...
When we think of making money and that too online, we need to think about the whole thing from a different angle. In real sense, if it is a real business, we interact on a regular basis, face to face handle clients and the feedback is almost spontaneous.... Life seems to be easy....

But when it comes to online business... we are always away from the client and there are large gaps that need to be bridged. The online consumers are not only culturally different but also differ a lot in terms of thinking, expectations from the service and so many other things.

So the best way here (as far as my knowledge goes) is to be open and dedicated. If you as an entrepreneur, are open to criticism and take it positively, you have a high chance of success on the online arena.

You should be prepared to work even at odd hours given the fact that your consumers might be from a different time zone altogether and you have to be online with them to clarify and provide support.

Last but not the least, you must have a positive set of mind and the confidence that you would succeed. There are more chances of faltering on the online world but it is just your dedication and the willingness to survive and be successful that would see you on top.

Good Luck to all the new and Budding Online Entrepreneurs.
