The good news is starting out in online business is easier than you think. It isn’t about the website – it’s about your potential customer and the solution you offer.
The starting point is RESEARCH.
Do You Have A Market? Research
The first question to ask is whether you have a market. A great idea is not enough to build a business – you need to have buyers.
It is easier to find buyers for a solution people already know they need. That doesn’t mean it is impossible to launch a brand new, unique, innovation in business. It just means you need to check whether it solves a problem for which people are already searching for solutions!
Who Is Your Market? Research
When you know you have a market you just need to get to know them. Who they are, what problem they have and what it is they desire?
What problem are you really solving for them and why is your solution THE SOLUTION!
You aren’t selling a product, or some features of it. No one buys on logic. You are selling a solution based on the emotional benefit the buyer will get. The better you get to know them the easier doing business online will be. Before you start designing or building your website get inside their head because you need to satisfy them – not you!
What They Search – Keyword Research
When you’ve established who you’re potential customers are and what they want – you need to establish what they are searching for.
Like you, your customers type words, phrases and questions into search engines. To make it easy for them to find your site you need to know what keywords they type in. Your keyword research will be the foundation from which you optimise your website.
Know Your Solution and Know The Alternatives
Tap into the benefits of your solution. These aren’t features like lightweight, energy saving, or fast response. These are benefits like peace of mind, stress-free, faster, bigger, better, easier…
Check the other available solutions, the other offers, what others are doing well and/or missing in the market.
When you have your head around these things you are ready to start. You know who, what, why and how to do everything better than the current best! If you’re having trouble take a look at magazines on your topic, search relevant forums online – ask any existing customers you might have.
You might be surprised as a business owner how few business owners take the time to do these basic things really well. That’s why they can be the difference between your ongoing stress, or sales and success.
When you’ve got your head around these things you can build a website. You know what you need to satisfy your customer.
