Old McDonald had an eCommerce site ;)

Everyone, no matter who you are, is subject to the same laws of online business. You have to compete with a saturated market, you have to create a highly optimized, engaging and easy to use website or store. You need to do a bit of marketing to get the word out on social media, press releases and so on. SEO? You bet...

Ever wonder what would happen if old McDonald decided to get online - perhaps he'd set up an eCommerce store to sell all the animals that made so much noise and kept him awake at night. Well, let's say he did, and in the process, learned a few things about SEO, marketing and operating a successful eCommerce site.

I thought it would help you to remember some of the things that are important in order to succeed online (regardless of whether you are a blogger, eCommerce site owner, affiliate marketer, entrepreneur or business) if I presented the information as Old McDonald would.

You can hum the rules in your head... then again, perhaps I've been overworking myself ;)

Enjoy!
