Let us assume that you are a person who wants to go in to business for themselves. What kind of business are you going to have? That is the first question you need to ask yourself before you even think of starting a business.

There are many different types of businesses and they are not all the same nor do they all run the same. For example, a construction company (lets call it construction company A) may be in business for building roads, while construction company B may be in business for building buildings and construction company C may be in business for tarrying down buildings.

They are all construction companies but they each have their own purpose and one does not work or do the same type of work as the other two.

But, speaking of businesses, you also have to choose who are your customers and how will you advertise to them.

A fast food restaurant is only interested in reaching people who want to buy their fast food items, while a bookstore is only interested in reaching those people who want to buy their books.

There are many different forms of advertisements. Some companies prefer to advertise on the radio, some prefer to advertise on tv and some use the newspaper or magazines. There are also some that do all of them.

Depending on the type of business one has, will determine how they can advertise. For example, a business in the real world can do all of the advertising that is listed above, while a business which is run online is limited as to how they can advertise.

A company can advertise the same way that a company in the real world can but one advantage that a company online can do is also advertise via email which is something that most companies in the real world do not do, however, there is an exception to every rule and while most do not use email marketing, there are some that do.

Email marketing is where you make an advertisement for your product or services and send it out in email to targeted customers. A lot of people who do email marketing work from home.

So, how do you get started in email marketing? There are a few ways you can do it. One way is to go to a search engine and type in email list to buy. There are many sites where you can buy these. Make sure you buy targeted email addresses that are people looking to buy what you are offering, otherwise you are wasting your money and if the people were not prior interested in the product or service you could be guilty of spam so make sure the list you buy is of people who expressed interest in your product or service.

You then after you have purchased the list follow the instructions that are given to you and type in your advertisement and send it off.

Email marketing is not easy but if you stick with it, it will pay off in the long run. It does take time.

Like all businesses that people own, if you are an online only business, you are working from home and it will take sometime for your business to build but stick with it because it will.
