how to start a successful online business in five
simple steps hey have you been wanting to start a business online but you say man there's too many
things to do it's too tough it's too difficult it really isn't as a matter of fact in this video
i'm going to show you the five steps you need to take to start a successful online business now
i own several online businesses sold millions of dollars in both digital and physical products
in this video i just want to share with you those five steps you can get going and you can get great
results too so let's get to it another thing we want to get to is subscribing hit that subscribe
button down there don't forget to do that and ring the bell turn on all bell notifications
so that you're notified every single time i do a new video or i go live which i
do once a week so check that out too if you're not subscribed you won't know
about it though so you gotta subscribe okay so let's get into these five steps okay now i
i would say the first mistake that everybody makes is going out and trying to find a really cool
product they go out and they go you know man i just gotta find something so i don't have
anything to sell i need something to sell that is not how you're gonna start a successful
online business is finding an item sell because a product itself is not a business okay a business
and you gotta start changing your way of thinking about this a business is selling within a
niche okay and if you don't know what niche is a niche is an area of interest okay an area of
interest to give you an example we sell survival food okay i have a company called survival k food
and the niche is survival okay that's the niche the product is not survival but that's the niche
now one of the products in that survival niche is survival food so our first step number one okay if
you want to jot this down is pick a niche you want to pick a niche that's the important thing you
want to pick something that people are passionate about it could be tennis it could be race cars
it could be football it could be dancing it could be playing guitar whatever it is pick that niche
and then you can sell products within that niche number two you need to find a supply of products
okay so no matter what niche you're in you want to make sure there's more than one product out
there okay so a pet rock would be a good example when i was a kid they sold pet rocks that was
definitely not a niche could that be a long you know standing business probably not okay unless
your niche was novelties and you had a bunch of other different novelties and that's the next
key to this is make sure there's enough products within that niche to sell to that particular
market now chess i think is a cool niche however there's not too many products you could
sell in a chess niche okay you got a chess board you got pieces maybe you got some instruction you
got those timer clocks which i have no idea how that works but i've watched some movies on that
but the bottom line is chess would be a tough niche to sell within now if you were selling in
a niche and you called it board games well that opens up a whole lot more right because you could
sell chess sets and you could sell monopoly and you could sell backgammon you could all these
different games that would be a niche but chess itself not really a niche that would be a tough
one make sure there's a lot of products to sell within your niche super important that was number
two number three build a sales page yes we have to sell people say well i don't want to sell well
then you shouldn't be online okay you shouldn't feel like because that's what we do online every
day i'm a marketer i'm a digital marketer internet marketer whatever you want to call it i sell stuff
online i sell courses i sell survival food i sell products my wife has courses she has products but
we sell okay and you've got to sell your products now the best thing to do to sell your product
is to have a sales page now if you don't have a sales page you're going to be largely dependent
upon another site so maybe it's going to be etsy maybe it's going to be amazon maybe it's going to
be ebay one of those other you know third-party sites the problem with these third-party
sites and i know i started off with them was that they control your business if you've
got your products listed on a site let's say ebay and i did in the beginning of my business i had
all my products listed on ebay and one day they shut down my account and that's that's that's
the story for another time but i was out of business that day i was out of business that day
okay i couldn't make any money because i had put all my eggs in one basket and they were all ebay
everything was on ebay and i was making good money but we had some business difficulties and couldn't
make some deliveries they decided that my account wasn't any good anymore so be very careful when
you say you know jr i don't need to have a site i don't need to have a sales page yes you do because
one day it's going to come around to bite you i almost guarantee it now what do i recommend
for building a sales page i recommend kartra kartra is one of the best softwares on the market
i will put a link in the description down there you can watch a video on kartra you can see what
it does and it doesn't just build sales pages it's an email provider it does email sequences oh my
gosh you can host videos in there you can put memberships you can do all these different things
but one of the things it does is a sales page and that's one of the things i said you need so would
definitely look at kartra and check that out if you watch that video it will walk you through
everything you need and you're going to see stuff in there you're going to go wow i didn't even know
i needed that but that's pretty cool i could do that with Kartra yes you can do that with Kartra
there is no other piece of software out there that does everything that Kartra does and on this
channel i'm going to do some comparison videos to Kartra and other software's out there so you can
actually see what the differences are number four you're going to need to promote your
products promote your products in other words you're going to need to get your products in front
of other people now there are two basic ways to do that and underneath those two basic ways there's a
multitude of ways to do it but the first basic way is run an ad okay run an ad so you can run an ad
on facebook and i have a course below if you don't know facebook check out the course below there's a
link down there you could run an ad on twitter you could run an ad on instagram you could run it out
of google on on youtube there's so many different places you can run ads but it costs money okay
costs money to run ads that's fact and the truth is most people that run ads are not successful and
it's not that they're not successful because ads don't work because ads most certainly do work it's
because they did it wrong okay if you do it wrong you just don't get the good results and if you
don't have training like you go out and try to run facebook ads right now without training and
i almost guarantee you're going to lose money so you know if you want check out that course down
there there's there's a training course you can go through for free and then i offer you the actual
training for facebook ads so check that out but the bottom line is you need training you're not
going to be able to figure this out on your own if you're going to want to run ads and so
what happens is a lot of people say well i don't have much money jr so i'm just going to
try some ads and i'm not going to get training well then you're going to really lose out okay
the thing you need to do before you run ads is to figure out how to run ads because if you
just go run ads and you don't get any training you're guaranteed to lose because you don't
know you can't know which don't know so if you don't have money i get that that's okay you can
start without money but you're gonna have to go the other route the other route is social media
social media social media takes a lot of time okay so you you either have to invest time or
money when you're growing your business there's only two things you've got okay you've got time
and money if you've got time and money well you're pretty good off all right but the bottom line is
most people don't have both i know i didn't have both in the beginning and you know i would
have to do social media i would have to use third party sites until i learned all these other
things i would say if you don't know these things check out some of the videos on my channel here
we'll teach you some of those things you've got to get knowledge you've got to educate yourself
you can't just jump out there and say tell me the four things i need to do because there's not four
things okay there's a lot of things you need to learn and you know if you don't have the money for
a course go through my channel watch 100 videos this week and i guarantee you you're going to be
a lot smarter on marketing online than you were before you watch those 100 videos because that's
all i talk about on this channel is how to make money online and we've done it we've made millions
of dollars online in both digital and physical products why not learn from somebody who's done it
and number five do email marketing oh did i miss this did i miss this in the beginning i missed out
so bad my list could be so much bigger than what it is right now in the beginning i didn't really
know what email marketing was i didn't understand that the most important asset that you can have i
believe to this day is an email list as a matter of fact i know for a fact i can take my email list
right now let's say my survival food one and i can put out an offer as long as it's a good offer
and within minutes i'll have money within minutes i'll have money now it that sounds easy and you
say why don't you do that every few minutes well first off you don't want to burn out your list
okay you don't want to do that and secondly to set up that offer to do that takes time so it's
not a matter of just sending the email you got to write the email you got to put together the
offer you know you got to have reasons for you know people buying that particular product you
had to have built up your email list you had to provide them with content so that they like your
company so that they trust you but if you do those things i'm telling you the most profitable thing
you can do is email marketing now i recommend once again Kartra the same product i told you about for
build your sales pages you'll want to use it for your email it will do both of these for you that's
why Kartra so cool is it does everything for you and once again in the description down there
there's a link where you can actually watch a video on Kartra and all the things it does and
by the way if you watch that video and you use my link i am an affiliate okay and you can actually
get a discount and you can actually get Kartra for one dollar one dollar trial okay so one dollar
is pretty cheap for you to get in there kind of check things out and kick the tires so that is
your five steps okay that is your five steps to building a successful business online they are
simple steps i didn't say they're easy okay i did say they're simple now i will tell you it becomes
easier and easier and easier the more you do these steps okay you're gonna learn more innovative
