What are the problems while running an Online Business?

OLLA people!

Conducting business on the Internet can offer you a variety of advantages (check this 'benefits' out). There are saying said that every things that happen in our lives has their own pros and cons. Therefore entrepreneur/businessman needs to tackle those problems well to ensure the smooth of their own business. And despite the advantages, however, there are also some problems that can arise when doing business online. What are they? Let’s figure it out..

 Lack of Computer Expertise

A business owner needs to possess more than a basic knowledge of the Internet to do business online. Necessary skills include knowing how to set up a website for business purposes and how to market your business online. If you don't possess these skills, you will likely need to employ the services of an Internet marketing company to help you get started. But try to imagine if you need to hire or spend more money on that thing isn’t it is a waste? You could use that money for other things for example marketing strategies of your products, interface of your websites and what not.

 Difficulty Developing Relationships

While doing business on the Internet can open up markets all over the world, it can be more difficult to develop on-going business relationships. If you're staying in Malaysia, you won't have the opportunity to meet face-to-face with a customer in Singapore or Indonesia. or another example if you run an online business in Kuantan but your customer is from Kuala Lumpur, how could you interact with them? how could you guarantee the are satisfied with your services and they are coming back to you? yes technology such as video conferencing allows you to see individuals via computer screen but it still lacks the personal touch of meeting someone in person.
  

Limitations of Business Types

Some types of businesses may not be suited for the Internet, particularly if their products involve the use of the senses. For example, if your product is its pleasant aroma, you can have difficulty conveying this online. And there are individuals who will always be more comfortable making a major purchase such as an automobile after seeing the product in person first.

I guess that is all for now. Just remember no matter what happens while you run business online, you need to face it confidently :) Good Luck
