You hit the nail on the head here by calling out the difference between normal business models and online business ventures. It takes a direct and consistent focus in one area to perform well online. Diversity is the death of many online businesses in their early stages of development. A perfect example of this is trying to rank well in the SERPs.

A lot of young companies stumble by changing their keyword strategy too often or targeting too broad of a range of keyphrases. The vast majority of the traffic is captured by the top few ranking sites. So unless they focus in on a few attainable phrases at a time (and stick with them) they never realize the full ranking possibilities.

The good news is, an online business is not limited geographically. So it opens up the possibility of taking the smallest niche products–that could never sustain an offline business–and creating a profitable venture online, with little competition.

It’s a great time to be an entrepreneur.

I agree mostly with this post, however I do believe you need to be able to multitask CERTAIN projects. Some projects just take too long to focus all your time and attention on to just flop and leave you with nothing.

Of course, developing business is not the same as investing. But in the real field, a corporation can handle several projects in the same time. I don’t think multitask is a disturbance to success, as long as they are done with a team. According to my experience, building internet business also involve many discipline of knowledge. At least, must be involved are SEO master, web designer and marketing manager. Actually in the last 5 month we have been develop two website with different categories. The two, now, are visible in #1 SERP of Google and Yahoo with their each keywords. The point is that every single person must focus and concentrate in his own field and work as a solid team. What do you think ?
