Things You Should Know Before You Open an Online Biz

Sometimes I am really amazed at what people do not know when they start an online business. I think that as an online business owner, if you are serious about your business and your success online, then there are just some basic things you should know at the get-go. I’m talking mostly about things related to the Internet and computers–not necessarily about online business. So the following is a list of some of those things. I may add to this list from time to time. As you read it, see how many of these things you know–or don’t know, as the case may be. They’re not listed in any particular order.

1. What “file extension” means
2. What a page rank is
3. What “ISP” means
4. What a browser is
5. What SEO is
6. How to name or name or rename a file on your computer
7. How to view the properties of an image
8. What “backing up your files” means and why it’s important
9. What a Zip file is
10. What your desktop is

Believe it or not, some folks who open an online business do NOT know these very basic things. And I think if they don’t, they’re already at a huge disadvantage as they open their biz. This list will grow, I’m sure. It’s not complete by any means. If you have other items you’d like to add, leave a comment!
