I was surfing around and a question came to my mind.
Is there a Ten Commandments for Web Startups?
Since I specialize in SEO business, my business model and 10 commandments may not be applicable to most people who intend to start a web business.
So, I started googling for the tips and guide on starting a successful business online.
With the information I gathered, I discovered that there were certain things in common with all the successful online business and the things that these business owners had done.
At the top of my web startups’ Should-DO list are:
- Stay focused, stay narrow
- Know your customers
- Target the Long Tail
You will find a more comprehensive list of what you need to do to start online business at the Ten Rules for Web Startups by Evan Williams, former CEO of Odeo and co-founder of Blogger.
#1: Be Narrow
#2: Be Different
#3: Be Casual
#4: Be Picky
#5: Be User-Centric
#6: Be Self-Centered
#7: Be Greedy
#8: Be Tiny
#9: Be Agile
#10: Be Balanced
#11 (bonus!): Be Wary
Overgeneralized lists of business “rules” are not to be taken too literally. There are exceptions to everything.
