Later on in the post I am Going OUT Line A Few Tips
I want to start an online business Does
anyone have any suggestions or ideas ?
The secret of getting ahead is to get started .
You can involve yourself in the process of learning and sharing your expertise before you launch
People make the big mistake of waiting until they launch before building a presence on social media .
Rembember you don’t need IDeas a website or business plan to make money .
More importantly what you need most is a unique skillset .
If you was ask how to start a business you might get some answers that aren’t useful
In other words the answer are vague and aimed to get you to come out of your pocket but not to provide you with a solution .
For example you get answers like
Get a mentor
Learn As Much As YOU Can
My team is growing don’t miss out
You have to understand the basics of Business .
Starting a business one thing but operating it successfully is another.
You will learn some things through trial and error.
If YOU Can Come Into the market with a unique selling points and skills you will cover a lot of ground in a short period of time .
Oh and I HAVE seen tons of people with billions of ideas but not materialize .
Having lots of ideas is a gift and a curse. .
This brings me up to my next point .
Mark Zuckerberg said find a solution first .
Conventional thinking would have you looking for business and products .
The unconventional methods used by world renowned giants like Amazon and Face book net flix uber was in looking for gaps that needs to be filled .
How can you alleviate people’s pain ?
Figuring that our will help you tremendously
Over the years I have learned to build measure and learn .
In phases .
Remember there are different businesses like
affiliate Marketing
ecommerce
coding
And so on .
And it doesn’t matter because you stilm need to meet the demands and needs of your audiences.
Every business has to bring forth a solution if not the business will fail .
So always research and find solutions to bring to the market before bringing your products and supplies .
Let me give you a brief run down of my history in Affiliate marketing
I have been in the industry for 5 years .
I have tried trading to make quick money and also buying into coaching programs
I learned the hard way over the years but I have learned the best way to figure out something is to learn and try .
There is nothing anyone on this planet can do to make you run a successful company
The onus to take action is entirely up to you .
If you are not equipped with the tools needed to start a business then I suggest you run tint he library or read a blog or listen to a podcast etc…
There is no bullet proof blue print that will ensure that you make money
With that being sad There are things that I would and wouldn’t advise you to do .
I wouldn’t advise you to get into business to get rich or fire your boss.At the end of the day none of that helps customers and or prospects .
Plus The grass is not always as green on the surface as it appears to be so exercise patience and discipline.
I have seen people make hasty decisions in pursuit of their dreams .
Then it is bad enough that your allowing your favorite public figure encouraging you to leap in the deep end of the ocean with out a cushion
I am a dreamer myself but I am not going to make short term decisions that can hinder me just pursue my dream
Start your business yes bit don’t dump your side hustle or job until you have enough income to sustain yourself.
There will be days ,nights, months, years before you make enough money to sustain yourself .
You are not going to set up shop and bingo the customers are going to appear out of thin air
I am a fan of playing the game long
So you might be wondering what is my definition of (playing the game long)
- Building relationships
- Investing Into Research AND
- Development
- Pod casting
- you tubing
- Micro blogging
- Long form Blogging
- Question.& answer sessions
- Showing up consistently
- Selling value
- Being authentic and honest
As you can see there are ways to connect and leverage people to your advantage
You can apply any one of the above mentioned and make headway
You don’t have to working your ass off not knowing what to measure and who to target
The marketers and or entrepreneurs that jump into the deep end of the pool with their products and services are the ones that fail.
We all fail but I said what I said to make a point .
You cannot assume what people want without testing and getting feed back.
That is another reason why corporations waste money on new products .
Some people sit and manufacture products for years in anticipation of the big blow out sales .
After investing years of time and energy and money only to see your launch fail is heart wrenching .
Those kinds of mistakes can minimize or offset against such losses .
Losses are an inevitable part of business but that doesn’t mean you should not make intelligent decisions .
With that being said my suggestion to you is to fuck the hype .
The neat little hacks and softwares that people are pushing on you might get results temporarily but not over a long period of time .
See every one online wants to know what is the formula .
How do a I start a successful business.
Some of the answers that you will get will have you thinking that you need something magical.
I believe in magic but not in the way mist people think .
I believe in working my craft meaning apply myself .
You have to do something in order to get something in return .
You have to getyourself into the business of activity .
There are things that you have to do on your own .
The entrepreneurship journey requires boldness .
No one is going to be with you all the time .
So therefore you must trust the process .
Even at the point when you assemble your team you have to trust yourself enough to give your team the freedom to be creative .
And this is nothing for you to panic about .
Every successful business has had to endure failure , had they not, they wouldn’t be the Giants they are today .
So please do not get discouraged when you face difficulty.
And I Know YOU Want THE MONEY .
You have to take your mind and focus on value distribution and testing the market .
I am sure there are corporate giants that can relate
Coco cola barely made anything in their first year of operation .
Look at what they have accomplished today .
This is why I am telling you take the road that is less traveled By Thinking outside THE Box
For every goal YOU set there should be an actionable plan to Back It .
Let Go Over A Few Tips To Get YOU STARTed
Test the market
You have to invest some time into research and development .So The best way to get results Is by testing .
Ask questions
You are in business but it doesn’t mean you should not get feed back from and information from industry experts
Don’t invest all your money
Save some money for an emergency .Negotiate loans at the lowest rates possible .Be mindful of excessive borrowing and also giving up too much equity .
Start small
You can only eat what you kill .Grow Your business in phases .Always remember to measure based on performance and not vanity metrics .
Remember why you are in business.
Believe it or not the customer is your boss
Yes You are the owner but without people buying your products your business will not survive.
So remember to start with a solution first .
Once you have a solution you wouldn’t have a big issue converting people into buyers
In addition to that having the solution Is going to strengthen your position in the market
Yes it is a time of trial and error but it will be worth it .
Good customer service and relationships is an intangible asset that money cannot buy.
You don’t need money to make money ; all you need is a skillset .
