How to Build an Online Business in 6 Easy Steps

03.13.2018 by Girl on Fire // Leave a Comment

Starting an online business is the perfect career opportunity for busy moms. Not only can you do it from the comfort of your own home, but launching a website requires minimal startup costs. Whether you want to sell crafts you’ve made or earn money from your writing or design services, the process of starting a business online is the same, and anyone from a newbie to a seasoned entrepreneur can do it. Here’s how to build an online business, build a website and launch your business in six easy steps.

Find a Gap in the Market

The first step to build an online business is to find a gap in the market to fill. However, coming up with a concept that no one has tried before is not enough. Your business needs to provide a unique solution to a collective problem, so you should consider the market first and your product second. In other words, don’t get hung up on selling something there’s no market for. Find out what people need, then make your solution better than any other.  

Focus On Your USP

In a digital age where the Internet can offer so much, launching a truly original business is easier said than done. Therefore, you should focus on your unique selling proposition (USP) when pitching your product. For example, you might create a website that sells baby clothes. This isn’t an original idea, but perhaps creating 100% organic, eco-friendly baby clothes or making outfits for premature babies is your USP. Figure out makes you different from the other online companies in your field, and most importantly, what makes you better.

Make It Something You Love

The key is to start a build an online business that serves the needs of both you and your customers. A company built on monetary needs rather than genuine passion or interest is not sustainable, so don’t try and create a business out of something unless the thought excites you.

Design and Build a Website

Build an Online Business

Your website is essentially the storefront of your online business, so it needs to look great and be easy to navigate. It’s best to keep your page clear and straightforward, so it’s easy for people to browse and buy your products. Full-service marketing agencies like eventige.com can help you create a professional looking website with a plan suited to your budget and business goals.

Create Content That Sells

Next, you need to create compelling content for your website. Figure out your main keywords using a keyword research tool and use them in your content to increase your visibility on search engines. Use snappy headlines and clear, crisp images. Adding testimonials to your site will help establish your credibility, so don’t forget to collect feedback from your customers.

Promote Your Site

Now that you’ve got your website up and running, you need to promote it. Digital marketing can be complicated and time-consuming, so this is where it pays to consult an expert. You should also make sure you remain active on social media sites and utilize email marketing; 36% of first-time customers will buy from you again if you send a follow-up email after their purchase.
