If you want to establish anew careeras an online marketer what type of website do you need to develop? Well it’s a very good idea to base your website on the values of a solid business model. If a business can work in the real world then it has a good chance of succeeding in cyberspace. So does that mean that you should only think aboutcareer ideasthat have a way of generating an income with the possibility to make a good profit? Not necessarily! There are many examples on the web of brilliant ideas that initially run at quite a substantial loss, the most recent case being YouTube. The cost of hosting and the technology required meant that there was no way it could make a profit, but because of an estimatedseventy five million viewers a month it was sold in September 2006 for around eight hundred and eighty million pounds. So if your brilliant idea can create this amount of traffic it could be well worth investing time and money now for amazing gains in the future. But let’s face it ideas like YouTube don’t happen every day and most of us would be happy with a decent income and more positive career opportunitiesfor the future.

To discern the next YouTube or FaceBookyou will need more than just luck and a good gut feeling it’s necessary to do as much research as possible. There have been many failures too, Kozmo.com and Flooz.com are just 2 such failures of the dot com boom. Researching these and other failed businesses will give you real insight into just what you will need to be successful. A greatplace to begin your research would be Cnet’s list of top 10 dot-com flops. But don’t just dwell on the negative it would be wise to study the successful businesses too, from the major players with a global reach to the smaller sites run by individual business people that are still able to turn over a tidy profit. Remember that this is going to be your new career and lots of hard work and a strong self-belief is definitely going to be needed.

Also it’s a useful idea to check to see if you can make use of any already available websites to create new career opportunities. There are many people using eBay as a method of trade or creating online shops using some of the various content management systems (CMS) now available. It’s often feasible to get a decent looking commercial website up and running relatively quickly without the need for a lot of technical knowledge. There are now many ecommerce packages like Magneto that can be used in conjunction with a CMS such as Joomla to build an online shop. Others are bidding for employment on sites such as elance.com or freelancers.net. So as you can see there a lot of places on the online that you can use to find decent new career ideas.
