Thinking about starting a business?

Starting an online business from scratch can seem daunting, but now that I’ve done it successfully 3 different times, I can confidently say to my younger self there’s no need to be intimidated. With the right strategy, you can create an online business that is profitable and successful. I often think about what it would be like if I knew then what I know now and what I would if I started from scratch, so let’s talk about it!

Exactly What I’d Do If I Started My Business Today

Finding a Niche and Style

Finding the right niche is the first and most important step when starting an online business. The niche should be something you are passionate about, and it should have enough demand to support a successful business. Do your research and find a niche that is right for you.

Once you have chosen your niche, you need to determine the style of the business. Consider your target audience and the type of products or services you will offer. Research trends in the industry and determine how you can stand out from the competition. Your style should reflect your brand and create a memorable experience for your customers.

Growing and Nourish My Email List

Growing your email list is essential for any online business. Use effective strategies to promote your list and encourage people to sign up. Offer incentives such as discounts or exclusive offers for subscribers. You can also create content such as blog posts, videos, and podcasts to encourage people to join your list. Make sure to provide a consistent experience and quality content in order to keep your subscribers engaged and interested.

Utilize Pinterest To Expand My Reach

Pinterest can be a powerful tool for growing your email list. Create attractive pins with compelling visuals and copy that will draw people to your website. Use keywords and hashtags that relate to your niche in order to reach a wider audience. Focus on creating content that is engaging and helpful for your target audience. You can also create pins that link directly to sign-up forms or newsletters to encourage people to join your list. Utilizing Pinterest can be a great way to grow your email list and increase your online presence.

Building a Website or Online Presence

Once you have chosen your niche, it is time to build a website. Invest in a good domain name and hosting plan, and create a website that is attractive and easy to navigate. Make sure the design is responsive and includes all the necessary features for your customers.

Taking Action

Now that we have gone over the steps for starting an online business from scratch, it's time to take action. Start by researching potential niches and create a website that reflects your brand. Invest in advertising and promotion, and track your results to see what works best. With the right strategy and dedication, you can create a successful online business.

Starting an online business from scratch is a challenge, but it is achievable with the right strategy. Focus on finding the right niche, building a strong website, and investing in effective advertising and promotion.
