Making Decisions.

Decisions can be hard things to make for a business. They normally are.
Now days websites help that issue a lot. How so?
Well websites can gather information with surveys and the stats tell you who went where on what.
Your stat information can be expanded with Google Analytics, I highly recommend getting an account.
I don't have a deal with Google to advertise their products, they don't need that. I really find it the most efficient way of getting the most out of your website. With it you will know how much money you are making from it, who visited it, where they visited it from (country, state, city), what browser, what device, how long they were on the site total and how much time they spent on each page, how many people visited it, how many page views, the list is just SO LONG. The list is great! Using the information that you collect you can see who likes what, how much and when. WHO, WHAT, HOW, and WHEN. Those are 4 very powerful words. You can then use that information to make decisions:
"WHAT product should we enhance?" Which one was viewed/bought the most this year/month? "WHEN should we update the changes?" The day before the one that most people view the site. "WHAT should we do to get people interested in us?" What do people view the most, do the most, and want the most of on your website?/What do people want? "HOW should we make our website more attractive to the public eye?" What does the public eye normally go to and view the most?
So here is your bullet point of the day:

• Get the statistics.

• Take all of the numbers, make average percentages, and compare them with the rest.

• Make decisions dependent upon the above...

and progress in the online world of business.

Fill out sheet.

This is a fill out sheet below copy and print the below. This is for a starter that gives you a kick into the world of business. If you already have I business It might be good to go over this and see what you have done :). 

HOW TO MAKE YOUR OWN BUSINESS.

The number one thing that you need to have in order for a good business is something that people want. Your product/services are what the whole business revolves around.

So try answering these questions:

• What can you give to your customers?

____________________________________________________________

• Why would they want it?

____________________________________________________________

• What makes it different? (you don’t have to fill all of it in)

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

OK, assuming that you have something that people want, that you can give and that is unique, we will continue... Now you need to target your customers. What group of people will like what you can give or who was it made for? Keep the answer in your pocket and we will get back to that.

What's the most powerful thing that a business should have? POPULARITY! People have to know that you are there, in order to get what you have for them. So you are going to make your own website. I recommend Weebly! It's free, it's big, it's shiny, and most importantly it hooks up with social media! Speaking of which after you make your website you need to get Twitter and set it so that it posts every thing you post in Twitter on Facebook. Then when you hook weebly up with Twitter whenever you post something on weebly it will go to Twitter and Facebook. Remember that these accounts must be separate from your account's.

SOCIAL MEDIA(these are the most necessary):

• twitter [ ]
• facebook [ ]
• google+ [ ]
• linkedin [ ]

Try to check of all of the above by getting an account for each one.

YOUR HOME PAGE.

Your website is like a paragraph. The home page is the topic sentence. It should sum up the whole site and get people interested in it. To do that again we will answer these questions.

• Why? (did you make your business)

____________________________________________________

• How? (Did you do it? and How do you do what you do?)

____________________________________________________

• What? (What do you have to offer)

____________________________________________________

Why did you make this business? Appeal to the human emotions so that they want to get in on it.

How did you do it? Explain what you did and went through in order to do it.

What is it? Now explain what you provide for them and what's so great about it by giving them the answers to the questions we first came to:

• What can you give to your customers? (what is it?)

____________________________________________________

• Why would they want it? (what does it do for them?)

____________________________________________________

• What makes it different? (what's unique about it?)

____________________________________________________

Remember the answer to: What group of people will like what you can give or who was it made for? (Who are you targeting?)

Well now you can put that information to use.

When you answer the question "Why?" appeal to your targeted people group.

Find out what they would think, if they would want it and if they would get excited and tell their friends.

On your home page use pictures. Pictures catch attention, and that's what you want.

Make your homepage memorable for the viewers.

If you need to see it in action go to simplegamings.weebly.com, weebly.com, or yoyogames.com and see what things those sites did that matches up with what I said. Then come back and write down what you remember about one or both of them.

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Great now maybe think of what made those things memorable and try to use those thing for your site. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Great now you’ve got a business started! the only things needed now are licences, but we don’t go over that here.

Hope you learned a lot from this and have a great day!

How my business came to be

Today I will talk about "My business" for a change. You may already know that I am the creator of Simplegamings, well now you will know how it came about. Believe it or not, it all started with a dream, the dream was of a really awesome and epic video game that I have yet to make. I woke up and that dream became an idea. I am going to make video games. Once I had been making games for about 3 weeks I realized that I loved it, and that is why I made this business because I love to make video games, but  how I made this business is another matter. I made the website (simplegamings.com) 2 months after I started making games, and by this point the idea had grown in to a plan. This plan was carried out slowly and carefully. 

I learned every thing about businesses from making one. I learned for my self: no books, no lectures, no classes. I do not advise you to do the same: learning from others is the best way to go. 1 year past and my games were finally preferred over other games by my users, and my views were starting to go up. Then the community came out and it helped every thing: People were talking, sharing, and the word was spreading. Today: 2 years from the start the stats randomly flew through the roof and my heart leaped for joy: 

One of the big challenges of developing my business was waiting. Because my business relies completely on the website there was a lot of waiting, and to be honest it drove me crazy! When I was driving crazy I actually found out that the waiting was good. It allowed me to make decisions and plan ahead. Now that things are escalating so quickly I only wish that I was waiting. Either way I learned a lot from making my business and I hope that you will learn a thing or two from this post. Just to make sure here are the highlights:

1. Get and idea
2. Turn it into an plan 
3. Follow the plan slowly and carefully
4. Be patient
5. Clear your head when you make decisions 
6. Let the business take you for a ride

That is how my business came to be, and that is what got me into The Online World Of Business.

Progress

Progress is a interesting, meaningful, and powerful word. One used too often and one rarely done.
Progress can be the beginning of something big, or the end of something bigger.
Progress is a word that you can study for hours and still find more definitions, but we don't have hours to talk about the subject so let's get to the point. Progress is a wild horse that you must take control of.  Because it is  so powerful it can overpower you and your business. You see, people get so caught up with the idea of progress that they don't continue to work on the fundamentals and keep the foundation strong. So, try to slowly progress and only when your foundation is exceedingly strong. You can't walk if you haven't grown legs, and you can't grow legs without food. In fact you can't survive without it. So feed you business, grow it's foundation, and then when walking is a possibility. Progress... And when you progress don't lose sight of your fundamentals. Progress slowly...: Don't get carried away with big ideas. Just do it one step at a time. Being slow in a fast world is hard, but that is a big reason for why so many small and big businesses die. People try to progress and progress but they find that their building is now really really high, and their foundation is weak... Thus, the building collapses and creates a bigger blow then controllable.
So:

• Take control 

• Feed (Your business)

• Grow your legs 

• Then learn how to stand before you walk

• walk slowly step by step...

And then you will PROGRESS in the online world of business!

Global awareness time

It's global awareness time, people so lets act like it.

By global awareness I mean BE AWARE THAT YOU LIVE IN A GLOBAL WORLD.  Thanks to the internet Global means EVERYWHERE, and anywhere is close to everywhere. There for if you website is global... then you can reach the limits of the earth, and the people of the earth will carry out the rest by telling there friends. This is a BIG advantage that I want you to take control of. Again... If you make sure that you have a product that fixes/answers a problem or gives something unique to the buyer, then you will have a big chance of doing well. That plus having a good website set's you up!

So be aware of the GLOBAL surroundings, and thrive in the online world of business.
