I’m working on a couple of online businesses. I know I should be planning a quiet retirement, and I’ve tried that and it is boring and expensive! So I am putting books for sale on a new website, and also looking at launching some online courses. So I decided to look into some business ideas and came across the following ideas.
All businesses start out with three main elements prominently featured in the general make up of the endeavor. These would be listed as revenue to be earned, expenses to be incurred along the way and the projected profits expected. These three categories are usually studied in depth before the actual business entity is launched and through this process there is always the need to have an effective budgeting platform in place.
The expenses which usually fall into three separate categories such as the semi-variables, fixed costs and the variables are also usually considered in the budgeting exercise. All these calculations are done on the monthly ratio which the business progress dictates.
This is the most detailed section of the business engine and usually also required the most attention when it comes to managing the costing elements.
The profits meant to be derived are usually the reasons why the business endeavor is being taken on in the first place, thus the basic profits calculated are also part of the budgeting process.
Successful business entities calculate the monthly budgets and make the necessary adjustments accordingly to ensure optimum profit making probabilities. Calculations for budgeting purposes can also be done on a daily, weekly or monthly basis depending on the individual business requirements and style.
So now I have to look at the costs of running websites and what is the real cost for me in terms of writing time.
I will come back to all of that later.
