We had a discussion another day on Facebook, what is the best way to build an online business, each person on the group had a different opinion.
Here are my best 5 tips that will help you to build an online business.
1: Show up every day!
Most people who start an online business think that they will join a program, click few links, and make a ton of money in the process, sadly that is not the truth, you need to do this every day.
Imagine if you go to the gym one day and get an athletic body, or train for one day and win the Olympics games, each and every person will do that.
Showing up every day means not only logging into your training and doing the work but engage with the community so that they SEE you take action.
People want to be around people that take action…So there’s the big answer to success online….Take action every day!
2. Build your platform!
You need to build your own platform where you can engage with your audience, prospects, and customers, this can be a YouTube channel, a blog, a podcast, other social media (Twitter, Pinterest, Instagram, etc.).
For me, that’s a combination of Facebook, Twitter, my email list, and my blog! If you want people to come to you for advice, recommendations, and helpful guidance, you need a platform that you can be seen giving value to others…Every day!
3: Your list is gold, treat it as such!
They said the money is in the list and guess what? It is, if do you want to make money online you need to start building your email list.
If you are new and you do not know where to start to build your own email list and you want a done for you solution I will recommend to check out 12 affiliate system.
Well, to be put as straight forward as ever…Without a list, you have no online business! Work every day to attract new subscribers to your lists!
4. Embrace new tech!
Technology change every time, you need to catch up, most of the solutions in software and programs we have now we did not have a few years ago.
Each year there is a new autoresponder feature, they if a new social media on some kind of good toy, I do not recommend you to go and buy each and every one of those, what I want to say here is that as these technologies evolve your customers and prospects change they way they consume the information, you need to analyze and see where it is good for you to catch up, you do not want to be left behind.
5: Never give up!
As Napoleon Hill once said, Winners never quit and quitters never win.
It sounds silly… May be almost repeated too much…But those that WIN at online business, do not give up in 2 weeks!
Do not be like the majority on wannabe online entrepreneurs they join a program they do very little or nothing two weeks later they just to another program or just quit and call the program a scam.
Most people who succeed in online business or any other end over in life, keep showing up, they keep learning, they keep trying to things and they do not listen to the naysayers. Success can be yours; you have just got to choose it!
