You will notice that most of these items are similar to the things you would need to set up for a regular business. That’s because they are. Since an online business is still a business, you should understand that whatever effort you put into a regular store will also be used for an online store. Essentially, your online store is different just in that it isn’t a physical business and that it may potentially cost less to start up. Other than that, there is really no difference to managing an internet business.

Just as with a regular business, you have to start off with a plan. Your plan will then be used to create strategic items to focus on. These will then be broken down further into a host of smaller tactical plans as you move forward. This may seem easy, but it isn’t – especially if you aren’t equipped with the right tools and concepts. It is also hard to plan ahead when you get stuck in the nitty gritty of what you are seeing at the moment, especially if things aren’t going according to plan.

Managing a business boils down to a lot of things not just skill. It also means being able to take problems along the way and be able to handle them properly. At the same time, it also means being able to carefully lay out a plan of action and follow that plan whatever happens.

Without marketing, your business will likely end up like one of the thousands of businesses online that fail each year. It doesn’t matter if you have great products or service. If you can’t get customers due to them not knowing that your business even exist, you’re going to have a tough time making money.

Marketing your business comes down to doing anything that will give your business some exposure. That could involve SEO work on your website or advertising with Google or even having a popular website mention your business. Big companies spend hundreds of millions of dollars a year in advertisements so that should show that marketing is vital to your business. Create a marketing plan and execute it. Test and measure your results to find what works best and then go do more of what’s working.

First lets step back and consider what a service like BMR provides for clients. Its an easier way to get a client’s website to rank well in the organic search results. Its a method that you can easily outsource link-building, and its a system that works.

Which brings me to the second question. If BMR works – why would you want an alternative? Well frankly because its always better to be a a more than one trick poney! BMR could disapear tomorrow, or it could get devalued by the search engines. That would be a disaster for many webmasters and SEO’s. But it doesn’t have to be a disaster for you.

So what alternatives are there out there for the smart SEO? Well the best option is to develop your own network of sites. This will take time, and initially will probably cost more than a monthly subscription service. But its the best way to future proof this business for both you and your clients.
