We are living in 2010, practically everyone is using the internet, can we agree on this? Great! Now that we have covered that lets look into Internet and Small Businesses and Website Design for Small Businesses shall we?
A recent study shows interesting statistics on small businesses and the internet, to be exact small businesses with or without websites.
The study reveals that 49% of small businesses currently have a website. Now that is all fine and dandy but if we look a little bit more in depth we can see very interesting statistics:
The percentage of businesses that have a website by their annual sales size:
]]>
45% of companies that make $100k-$499k a year have a website.
49% of companies that make $500k-$999k a year have a website.
69% of companies that make $1.0 Million-$2.49 Million a year have a website.
67% of companies that make $2.5 Million-$4.49 Million a year have a website.
73% of companies that make $5.0 Million-$10.0 Million a year have a website.
So what can we learn from this? The more money a company makes, the more prone they are to have a website? Or looking at it from a different angle we can see that if you want to make big money with your business you are most likely in need of website design for your small business.
Having a website for your small business will help gain you new business from the Internet, and lets be honest, most people will be searching for your type of product or service on the internet. Why? Because it is just way easier then flipping through the yellowpages or any other form of finding products and services.
Finding successful website design for small businesses isn’t very difficult and isn’t expensive at all these days. You don’t really need to know anything about the internet or building a website to make this happen, you just need to find the right company or resource that can build you a quality website for an affordable price and let them do all the technical stuff.
If your small business isn’t on the internet today then you are losing money every passing day, think about that.

Helping others create income from home through education of the system and how it really works.
Just charge more for shipping to the customer than it actually costs you. You can use it as a buffer income because you will always have something that you needed that wasnt in the budget.
Very Motivating

I agree with douglet42 – here it is 2011 and this is still a very helpful SEO video! Thank you to Expand2Web for sharing it with me.
Just curious, what kind of business do you plan on opening? Because I'm the same age and looking to open my own business as well, but not sure what I want to do. Thanks.
If you're only really asking about training, then it would depend on the size of the business. If there's only about 1 – 10 people, then it would usually be the duty of the owner to train new staff, as he or she would be the person with the most interest in ensuring that everyone knows what they are doing. If you go into 10 – 30 or so staff, you'd probably have an operational or production manager who should take care of training.
Most businesses don't fail because of inadequate training though. As you pointed out, it's more about lack of planning. I ran my own small businesses for a few years, and I made sure to only hire people that didn't need any training!
Is your concern that businesses fail because of no proper training programs?

Black hat SEO is allways 6 months ahead, and everytime Google makes a chance, the blackhat world allreaddy has the solution.
Stupid to post something like that, when its clear that you know nothing.
@TheJoakimkruse Lol way to expose your self confidence issue by attacking me. Hope you have a good day.
There are no grants to start a business. You can apply for government loans though, http://www.sba.gov has information for small business loans.
Definitely keep track of your expenses. Most start-up expenses should be capitalized until operations begin. This means that you cannot deduct certain expenses until the date the business started, even if you paid them last year. Some expenses should be amortized over a period of time.
Business start-up costs are the expenses you incur before you actually begin business operations. Your business start-up costs will depend on the type of business you are starting. They may include costs for advertising, travel, surveys, and training. These costs are generally capital expenses.
You usually recover costs for a particular asset (such as machinery or office equipment) through depreciation (discussed next). You can elect to deduct up to $5,000 of business start-up costs and $5,000 of organizational costs paid or incurred after October 22, 2004. The $5,000 deduction is reduced by the amount your total start-up or organizational costs exceed $50,000. Any remaining cost must be amortized.
For more information about amortizing start-up and organizational costs, see chapter 9 in Publication 535.
