Online business ideas can be hard to find, but do you know your no.1 mistake? I’ll be covering this and more in the video
Hi I’m Anthony and here at Carfile Systems, we concentrate on providing services to enhance small businesses with online business success
You see, what most people seem to think with online business is the you need build your products before you sell them…this is not the case
let’s discuss a few options and then in a moment, you’ll find out how you can identify your no.1 mistake before it’s too late
It may sound odd, but one of the first questions you need to ask yourself is, who do you want as your customer?..
Having a clear picture in your mind about who they are, what their age range is, what are their likes,
their dislikes etc, will really help you decide on an online business idea and whether it is right for you…
A while back when I was in the business of cosmetic distribution – we would have all sorts of customers, which of course was great.
Eventually over time, there were patterns that developed and it was easy to determine who would be the best customers to deal with and who would be the less desirable customers.
You know the customers I am referring to, the ones that always seem to have a problem. Eventually we were able to change parts of the business which meant we could encourage more of the customers we wanted to have and less of the ones we didn’t.
So, once you are clear about who you might sell to, it is worth considering where you might find these individuals.
There is no point in spending lots of time and money creating something and then expect people to simply flock to it.
Considering where these people might be gathering is crucial to your success…
I learnt some time ago to imagine customers like cars on a highway.
Traffic is not made, it’s already happening somewhere, you just have to go and find it and put your product in front of it.
In whatever industry you might be in, it is important to know this, because if there is little demand for a business idea, it might not be worth pursuing…
Having a clear picture of who they are and where they are, another important factor to consider is, what result will you deliver them.
Ultimately focusing on what value you will provide your customers, will give a lot of information about how complex your business idea will need to be…
Only having one step on your product ladder, could mean that you have a business that is only needed once with no recurring business or progression.
By considering the customer journey, say when they purchase your first product and what happens thereafter, can mean the difference between success and failure.
So to recap
You need to figure out who you want to sell to, where these people are gathering and finally what is the end result you will give them…
You may feel that you have answers to these points, but what is the no.1 mistake that you need to avoid…
