Having the idea to start an online business is great but it can be daunting. If you have never done anything online before, you may have no idea where to begin. This post will tell you how I started my online business, and help you with some ideas to get started on your own.
To get started with your own online business watch this free video.
Where I Began With My Online Business
My name is Barry Callister. I am a Nature Photographer currently residing on the Mid North Coast of New South Wales in Australia.
How I started my online business was the same way as many photographers do I guess. I began by sharing photos on social media, trying to create enough interest to get people to either buy them, or hire me to take photos for them.
I built a website with an online store and uploaded random photos and products that I thought would sell. Years later and I had sold a few things but nowhere near enough to consider this a “business”.
Had I known then what I know now, things would be very different.
No Business Plan – No Business Success
You hear this all the time – “you have to have a plan if you want to succeed”.
I believe this is true. However, I also believe that you need to have the right knowledge in order to make that plan succeed. In the same way that you can’t build a house without hammer and nails, you can’t build an online business without the right tools either.
This was what was missing from my business. I really had no idea how to market my products online. I had just been throwing paint at the wall and hoping it would stick.
My photos and products were not selling because I had not done my research. I had not clearly defined my target market or what they were looking for. In addition to this, I had no idea of where my customers were?! If I didn’t know where they were hanging out online, how was I going to get my products in front of them?
This is information that you need to know in order to have success with your online business. But where do you learn this information?
Learn To Market Anything Online
Most people might think that learning online marketing is something that you have to go to University for. Not true.
The best online marketing training in the world is available to you online, at the click of a button. In fact, there is no University in the world that offers education this good.
If you want to design a profitable online business starting from scratch using a proven business system, then Six Figure Mentors is the place to begin.
In this course you will learn the exact steps to turn whatever interests you into an income. Whether it is photography, painting, coaching, yoga instructing, or dog walking – you can turn it into a profitable online business.
I wish I was in your position right now. You have the opportunity to start a business from scratch with all the tools you need to be successful. You can be coached and mentored by online entrepreneurs who have built multiple 6-figure businesses.
If I had known all this before I started my business, I would not have to be building it again from the ground-up, trying to fix all the mistakes I made the first time-around.
