In this episode, I reveal the complete 11-step formula I recommend for building an online business. This valuable content—which people have paid thousands of dollars to receive in my in-person workshops—is now being shared with a wider audience.
I start by sharing my own entrepreneurial journey, which began with launching a podcast as a hobby. Over time, I discovered a desire to turn my passion for content creation into a full-time business.
However, I quickly realized that most people attempting to create an online business were failing because they started by creating content without first laying the necessary groundwork. Instead of following a strategic sequence, they jumped straight into content creation.
As a result, I developed an 11-step formula for building a successful online business:
- Determine your destination - What do you want your life and business to look like?
- Identify where you already add value - What are your gifts, talents, and areas of expertise?
- Determine your ideal customer - Who has the money, problems, and willingness to pay for your solutions?
- Learn about your ideal customers' problems - Conduct research to deeply understand their struggles.
- Determine your products and services - Align your offerings with your customers' needs.
- Create a value proposition statement - Clearly communicate who you are and how you help.
- Validate your business model - Get paid customers before creating content.
- Create Content - Create environments for people to discover who you are and what you have to offer.
- Attract Your Ideal Customer - AKA Grow Your Audience
- Market your products and services - Develop your sales and marketing skills.
- Test new products and services - Continuously innovate and improve.
