The basics of starting and running an online business are starting to align in my head pretty quickly so far in this journey. I am slowly coming to terms with the fact that it’s going to take me 6 months and up to realize my first sale (not profit by the way). Now that is a bitter pill to swallow knowing very well that I set out to make money online in 8 months ($1,000,000 to be exact). I’ve learnt that in order to build a long term online business, I need a website, I need hosting and I need a domain name to start with. All of these cost money, money that I don’t actually have (so far I only have $0.76).
On top of that, you have to have the patience of creating valuable content for your website, creating social media content (YouTube videos, Facebook posts), optimize your website and content posts, build traffic, direct the traffic to your posts and content overtime, (which will help in building trust and credibility with your audience), build an email list and then (and only then) will you start finding appropriate products or services for your audience to promote and thereby make money. I don’t know about you but this sounds to me like a very tedious and time consuming task.
In my head, I was thinking I find a product then find a client and then make money, simple! But somehow the internet has become awfully complicated and it has never been harder to make money online than at a time like this. What I’m getting from my research is that there’s no way around this if I’m to create a long term sustainable online business. There is some pretty boring stuff to do in this process that could easily be outsourced if I had the money. But then again if I didn’t know how to do something, or at least the basics, how would I tell if the outcome of the outsourced task is the desired one?
