1. Show people your business is serious. You need to design and create a professional website with a secure virtual shopping cart.

Listing a photo of yourself with your business contact information will help clients put a face with your name. Doing this helps to build their trust. You want your website to appeal to the masses. In order to do this you need to have a design that's professional and shows neutral colors.
2. Build online relationships and talk to people about your business. It goes without saying that you should always promptly answer any questions or concerns that your customers have, but you should also build a rapport with other people online. People use the Internet to socialize. Therefore, making some online friends can mean you'll gain some word of mouth advertising. The more positive things people have to say about your business the faster consumers will view your company as an established Internet business.
3. Have well placed, well designed advertising. If you can't create banners and buttons for your company that look like they were professionally designed, then you need to hire someone to do it for you. If your ads look sloppy and not well designed, it gives your company the image of some fly by night company. People want to do business with companies they trust.
The great thing about the Internet is that you can be working in bed and make someone think you are working in a professional atmosphere. You can appear professional without actually having to be professional. With the help of the Internet you can easily make people view your company as an established Internet business and the more your build a rapport, the more of a success your business will become.
