Starting your own online business is a lot easier than you think and it is also something that you can actually get started for free. Today I want to show you how to start an online business and make money in the whole process. Who knows, you might just do this full-time, due to the amount of money that you can make online.
I mean come on, most of us are not very tech savvy or barely even use a computer. If you’re not very computer literate do not worry, because I was once in your shoes. If you are looking at starting your own online business to make some extra cash, then read along.
Building From the Ground Up
When doing business online or any business for that matter, you are going to have to create a foundation. If you do not have a this in place, then you are not going to make it.
There are several things that your online business foundation is going to need and they are quintessential for success online.
- Website – Owning your own website is going to be very crucial when doing business online. You will see why owning your own website is going to be a big factor in your online business.
- Coaching – Having someone hold you by the hand every step of the way is going to lead to online success. I myself didn’t know that it was possible to have one on one coaching until I joined the Wealthy Affiliate. Well they do everything so enough said.
- Mentoring – Along with coaching you are going to need some mentoring along the way. Having someone that has success online guide you through your journey will make life that much easier.
- Determination – If you are not determined to do anything in life then you will get no where my friend. I never doubted my online business and that is what got me to where I am today. I was determined to quit my day job and have more time with my kids and that’s that.
- Some hard work – There’s nothing a little hard work wouldn’t get you. If there’s one thing I hate seeing it would be hard work in the wrong places. When I see people busting their asses it makes me excited. Can you imagine if they apply that hard work to the online world? Results are going to be crazy!
Understanding What You’re Doing
When you do business online, you really need to understand what you’re doing. I always recommend Wealthy Affiliate, because they offer great training and 1 on 1 coaching as well.
If you don’t have the proper training and you’re just fueling someone’s bank account, you are not going to be successful online. Take what you can from these guys and you will see exactly how business is done on the internet.
Creating a Website
I want to talk about website creation first, because this is probably something you are most concerned about. Building a website is a lot easier than you think and is a must if you want to make money online.
Creating a website is something that you wouldn’t have to worry about if you want to make money online. With technology on our side, it’s almost done for you. Back in the day you had to input all these computer codes by yourself and that is something that you do not want to do my friend. Build your website and start that foundation for your wealthy business online.
Website Components
There are a couple of things that make up a website and you will need to understand these if you want to be successful online. Get a good understanding of these things and you will soon know this like the back of your hand.
- Domain Name – The domain name is simply what the name of your website/blog is going to be. It would look something like this, www.mywebsite.com. Finding great domain names is probably going to be a bit challenging but you will eventually find the name that best suits you.
- Hosting – This is something that every domain needs. Let’s just say your website will not exist if you don’t have anywhere to store your content. Hosting would have to be purchased through another source like Hostgator. But just like the coaching and mentoring, I get my hosting done at the Wealthy Affiliate as well.
- Design – Website design is something that most people worry about too much instead of creating some decent content for their website. You can do your design yourself and it is actually pretty fun and you also give it your personal touch.
- Content– This is something I just mentioned but it is also going to be very critical with your online success. If you do not have decent engaging content then you are not going to make a lot of money online. Content, content, content!
Coaching
Having someone guide you with your online business will be very important as well. When I first started doing business online I had to do everything by myself (poor me). Being that I know what I know now, I would like to help anyone trying to create a successful online business and make a change (get coached by me here).
Like I said, I got some 1 on 1 coaching at WA and that is one of the big reasons I was able to find success online. Yes I did do most of it on my own, but They helped me fine tune my website to make everything happen.
Get the right coaching and you will have a lot of success online and it will also cutout a lot of the simple questions you might have along the way.
Mentoring
This goes hand in hand with coaching. Now having someone show you the way that they did it is even better. I can show you how to do this and how to do that but having someone show you their personal technique will also help you greatly.
You should know by now, no one gives away all their secrets. In this business, it’s a little different because we all promote different things. Why would I not want you to sell that specific product if it didn’t benefit me? Make sense?
Greediness is something that most businessmen acquire and it is something that will do nothing for you. once you start making money online, I want you to promise me that you will give back to anyone that has helped you in life. Deal? Okay.
Hard Work Pays off
Instead of putting your had work into someone’s company why not put all the money into your bank account? Yes you are going to have to work hard at anything in life unless everything was handed to you.
Not so much the case with a lot of us, but that is totally fine. This is one of the reasons why I knew I had to make things happen, because no one was going make me money but myself.
So Where Do You Go From Here?
I have been doing business online for a couple of years now and I didn’t find success immediately. If I had the tools and coaching that I’m offering to you back then, I would’ve saved a bunch of time and I wouldn’t have taken so long.
You have everything at the tip of your fingers my friend so use it to your advantage. Learn everything you need to know about online marketing at the Wealthy Affiliate University and I will be right beside you guiding you every step of the way.
Okay I do have my own blog to work with so keep your questions to a minimum. Alright I’m just kidding, but please do leave any questions you may have in the comments section below. Let’s get you started so you can start making some real money!
I hope you learned how to start an online business and you too can start making money on the internet. To whatever it is you do in life, I wish you success. Cheers!
