Online business development has many different components to it. The most important thing to realize is that it’s an ongoing process. You’re never going to reach a point where you can sit back and say “Finished!” You always have to be studying the market and taking a look at your performance. There is always room for improvement, and when it comes to online business development, the environment changes so rapidly that you have to be able to react instantaneously, adapting to changes rather than letting them ruin you.

It all begins with proper research. Research will let you know about your market and how to reach out to them. After that it’s about putting in the necessary time to succeed. You’ll be creating optimized content that is readily found, establishing a presence with social networking, article marketing and other link building strategies and so on. Successful online business development is the meshing of proven tactics with personal, targeted research that allows you to succeed in your specific market.

Social networking involves spreading your content around a variety of web 2.0, user driven websites to drum up interest and establish a presence. You’ll also end up driving traffic to your site.

Link building involves finding other places on the web where you can place your links. This will lead to some direct traffic when people click on them, but more importantly it will help you show up more prominently in search engine results. This is because one of the many factors that search engines use to determine proper placement of results is a site’s credibility. Credibility is in turn largely established by the quality and content of the incoming links to your site.

SEO, social networking and link building are all free and they are all vital components of a complete online business development plan. Keep in mind the differences between traditional marketing and online marketing to ensure that you properly utilize the available channels you have at your disposal.
