Simple and easy ways to kick start your online business

​Starting an online business itself requires a good amount of planning and constant efforts to implement your plans into action. But if you know the right direction and have appropriate tools to start your online business, then it becomes quite easy initially to actually kick start it. 

I am here sharing some of the simple and the proven strategies which when implemented with due diligence will give you sweet results.

(1) Create a website with good domain name

It is difficult to think of having good online presence without a good website. Therefore, your first step should be to have your own website or blog to start with. Try to select a good domain name for your website as it is the first step to attract the clients towards your online business. Therefore, try to find the relevant and unique domain name for your online business. Again, selecting a website from the innumerable list of website service providing companies is a difficult task but it can be resolved with proper research or someone who is actually using them and shares his experience about the same. 
Yes, Weebly is for those people who really do not know about coding as it is the easiest way to create your website. It has simple drag and drop feature which let you make your website within minutes in front of your eyes.  I recommend it for those who just want to focus on their business without getting into the details of coding and the website building. It's user-friendly, responsive and it's predesigned templates make it suitable for any kind of website, blog and e-commerce site. ​

Weebly is the easiest way to create the website without any knowledge of coding

You should choose Weebly because:

• It can be build easily by you in minutes
• You need not to hire a web developer to design your website
• You just want to focus on your business without getting into coding

(2) Write good content

Nothing can replace the importance of the good content in your online business. For example, you are planning to start your online store of clothes, then it is very likely that you are having relevant knowledge about the product and the things related to it. You can very well share your knowledge and the experience by providing the latest information about the same, like what type of clothes is in trend?, which type of clothes suits your personality?, how to take care of your clothes etc. Your sharing of knowledge will attract visitors to your site and it will increase the popularity and your business will grow subsequently. Even if, you find it difficult to write the long update then provide the short and small update but the key is to remain consistent in whatever you are doing and gradually you will start seeing the results of your efforts.

(3) Join a good affiliate program

It can be possible that you may not have product initially but in any case, you can start your online business by sharing good content in which you have knowledge and experience and then monetising that content with the good affiliate programs. You can become an affiliate of good networks and start promoting their products on your website. I am personally using Shareasale for promoting their products on my website. Shareasale is 16 years old affiliate marketing network program which is known for its efficiency, transparency and the timely payouts. Thousands of merchants are listed in the network which are offering products in a wide spectrum.

(4) Create your own product and service

Your product must fulfill the demand gap in the economy and it must be of good quality. For example, it is first required to know the feasibility of the solar power system in a particular location before installing it on the roof top. I have seen many people who install the solar system on their rooftop are actually unaware about the technical (right configuration) and the economic feasibility {payback period & internal rate of return (IRR)} of the system.  People actually want to know all this before investing thousands of dollars & installing the system on their rooftop. I found this demand gap and fulfilled this need with my unique Residential solar feasibility spreadsheet which calculates the techno-economic feasibility of the system. I mean to say that you should design that product which fulfills the need of the customer, fills the demand gap between the buyer and the seller. If you do not have any product to sell right now then why not design a digital product like writing an e-book based on your knowledge and experience, set a right price and sell it on the platform. I am sure it will be a great delight for your customers.

(5) Share your product and content with the audiences

You cannot succeed until you share your product, services and business with the people surround you. Share your business in the social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, LinkedIn, Google+ will help in kick starting your online business. People will come to know about your business and will start visiting your website. You should often share your content over a period of time as it may get stuffed at the bottom of the sharing platform become millions of people share their content every day and the fresh content always remain at the top. Therefore in order to keep your content at the top, you need to share your contact quite often so that it can attract & reaches more eyeballs.
Well, there are many other tools to kick-start the online business but the function of all of them is the same which I have shared with you in the above-mentioned post. The reason for mentioning these tools and services is that I am personally using them and finding success in it. I am quite satisfied with their performance and that is why I am recommending start using them without wasting your precious time in researching by yourself. It is working for me and I am sure these things are going to work your for you too.
