Business Plans in the new era – DOT-com success
Business Plans in the new era – DOT-com success
As to how vital your business plans are if you’re looking into VC’s and Angels to help fund your Internet startup? This has been a basic question to Mr. Dot COM Entrepreneurs from across the globe who wanted to be the next Google, Yahoo, & BitTorrent. Another question is does the world need your product or service? Startups emerges because the saw the gap and wanted to filled it in.
Basically, some Internet startups started from a hobby or interest. If you’ll check with some know websites like Craig Newmark of Craigslist.org he started his website to help out some friends. My website is also born out of interest and hobby. This has been a source of my inspiration since lately wherein I feel so bored about life being an hr professional whereby you can’t implement various interventions because you don’t run the show. With this stuffs in mind, now I’m so eager of running my own show and I guess running this website will be the sole platform wherein I can orchestrate and direct my own show. Going back, startups can be identified in some ways. Some of them are just contented on how their sites evolve incrementally without the help of any VC or angel. Some are not contented with the incremental approach but rather on quantum approach to leapfrog their business model and grab the larger pie of the market.
Business models have various approaches on who to deal with. B2C or Business to Costumer where the business has direct contact with the consumer. Although there are some winners in this field, they are few and far between. B2B or Business-to-Business model. This simply means that they are doing business with other businesses. Mostly B2C’s are jumping in to B2B so it’s safe to say that there’s flood of this kind of model in the market to date. Another model is B2B2C. This model is a result of a major restructuring from B2B because it’s a known fact in the dot-com arena that ideas tend to loose its luster quickly. I was able to bump with this model last year when a guy from India offered me a cut just to expand his business model in the Philippines. His market was schools and universities wherein students will subscribe and will pay for a monthly subscription. And the last known model is P2P or peer to peer. We’ve got lots of this of model to date. To name a few, Yahoo Messenger, ICQ, Gtalk, Skype, etc. without a centralize source.
Revenue models are factors VC’s and angels are looking into. This is where you state how and how far into future your business plans to collect revenue. Most sites are very dependent on easy to manage revenue models unlike managing your core revenue model. We have GoogleAdsense who’s been widely use by website owners together with banner advertising models. For Google Adsense, all you have to do is register an account with Google advertising copy the code and insert it to your source code. If your site has lots of unique visitors a higher income would be possible. Remember this is only a source of a passive income but worth the look for some startups are looking into this as a core revenue model. We could look into Interspire as one example of this approach wherein they are using Google Adsense to generate around $15 – 25,000.00 a month since they launched there own website a few months ago. This approach has been so effective to them since they’ve got various helpful contents for particular market that they can use and integrate it with Google Adsense. In this way people reading the contents would most likely click the Adsense. Another model is the content model. This model is not that really effective since people wouldn’t be paying anymore just to read contents. A lot of free contents on various topics are available already. This is reason why Interspire innovated and use those free contents and integrate it with Adsense. Another model I’ve identified is the Licensing Model or a patent already in place.
Shifting markets should be considered in your business plan. In this way you can adjust your plan and position it to be a force to be reckon with upon that market shift.
You may have a fabulous idea but one must consider that in the dot-com arena your idea has a shorter life span.
