The Ultimate Guide to Building your Business from Scratch 4
Growing your Business Online: From Zero to Online Success
Today, I am going to be teaching you on growing your business online
You must understand that the online world is a whole new world on its own and has its rules and at the same time, is expensive and has trillions made every year
It is where too, you will meet the bad, the good and the ugly and your only route is to LEARN AND KEEP LEARNING
Even though online world seems scammy, it is because of the bad and ugly people there too, who don't want to go through the process
There are terms that you will need to understand so that you can know how to maneuver yourself around
The Beginning of growing your business online like I said is to learn before you earn
Only those who learn, eventually earns
2. You need skill acquisition before you can earn online and here is where your business products and services come in
You can't do business like offline.
Remember what I taught you on marketing? Here in the online world, your words stand for you and here you will need to learn to build your own unique communication style in business in the online world
This is where business credibility comes in. You will need to learn to build Trust and Reliability in your business and it will take Time
However, there are several ways that you can grow online
So, I will begin by saying, 'what is online world or online business or online marketing?
In my ebook: From Zero to Online Success: The Entrepreneur's Guide to Making Money Online ', I said
'An Online business is like running a business in space, wow, yeah, because
everything there is VIRTUAL meaning you can’t see people face to face to communicate with them save through their words or names or websites and most
importantly their photos and this is where the game changes as well, the way you
present all these things will DETERMINE whether people will buy from you or
not and this is where you see many not been successful or not even making a dime
in their online space.
An online business is called AN INTERNET BUSINESS as well. The question s what is an internet business? What is the internet? It is a GLOBAL NETWORK, a system of communications and methods of commerce by allowing various computer networks around the world to interconnect.
This means internet is connecting a network of computers to one another
supplying information etc across the globe, thus the name WORLD WIDE WEB,
been carved from a spider as NET. This is where the www and https come into
existence and that is the only way you can be connected to the global network.
As at 2020, over 4.5 billion people across the globe are now connected to the
internet and this is where online business is the RICHEST in the world as you are
connected to the GLOBAL NETWORK via the www and https url or link, this is
where running or owning a website or blog gets you seen by anyone with a
computer or a connection by a network provider and thus you easily transact
online, and in as much as there is connectivity and money, thus are the dangers as your information can be stolen if careless.
In the online world are houses too where you live called your WEBSITES or
you rent houses via using other web owners site by owning an account with them eg wordpress, blogger etc,
so if you own their website there, you are renting their apartment in which you use their web address given to you to lodge and transact business online.
The only issue is to make money via these rents, you will need to have an online shop where you can lead people too, this is where selling other people’s products and services come in like in the network marketing niche and you are able
to turn your rent into money and pay for your bills offline, cool right?
There also in the online world is your SHOPPING MALL like Alibaba,
Amazon, Jumia, Konga, Macdonalds, etc who have sites where you
can shop and it will be delivered to you '
So, from the above, you will realize here that if your business isn't going well, it is your best chance of running your business
My Ordeal
When I started my business in publishing my first book in Sept 2011, 'Towards Mental Excellence ' I worked offline and I made good money, was able to help my city understand the importance of gaining knowledge and how Ibadan can be a pacesetter.
So, I went to our airport at Alakia airport and saw fallowed airplanes rotting away, so I gave them a copy and encouraged them to talk to the then governor,: Gov Ajimobi and they did
I forgot all About it and three months later, heard an airplane roared over my house, I was both elated and happy and as remained so up until now to God's glory.
Today, it is history but by this time, my book was dropping in sales and by March 2012, it had dropped drastically
Then God told me, go Online and study it.
So, in April 7 2012, Jesus Ventures Limited International was born
I knew nothing about the online world, Facebook account, I don't even have, Gmail none
I mean I was a total stranger to the online world
I had heard like you heard that it is a scammy place, but I knew this was my only chance but I was ready to learn
I began with nairaland platform and I am still there today
I bought ebooks and read. Then I didn't even know what pdf meant or even how to create the type of EPUB PDF Designs that I design today
Even no idea of how to design, my design was poor then but I was ready to learn and between 2012-2014, I MADE NOTHING
I want you to read that again: I made nothing but I kept learning until I joined an affiliate program and everything changed
All the manuscripts that God told me to keep writing from feb 2008-2013, I began to learn to turn them into an epub ebook that I do today and I made money via the e-commerce websites I joined then which were Smash words, TripleClicks and Amazon
I earned in all currencies via these websites and through my online business, I made my first millions between 2016-2018
It was in August 2017 that I knew how to create an online course for my business and made my first money for my online course: $100
God told me in Feb 2015, learn how to do the EPUB design and you will use it to eat in the end and for 31/2 months, I learnt and I have used it to make money up till date because we are few who know how to correctly do the EPUB design and I happen to be one of them.
You can learn it but you will pay. Nothing is free because once you master it, you too will keep earning from it for life, talk of earning from a one time Knowledge
It helps you to navigate an ebook without scrolling through the whole page
It is like jumping into a page in a book without the page number but through the table of contents
So if you see me today that I am an online expert or I make legit money online, here is my brief history
Yes, there are Challenges on the way and this is where I went for webinars and still do till date where I Garner information that can help me keep building and found a powerful secret yesterday on Facebook ads
Ah, am not sharing that yet, I want to run it first, see how it performs and then sell it
Yes o, like I told you, everything in life is not free
I sell information as an information service provider and I share what works
Building your business online is just as much as building your business offline
You will pay for the place you use, this is as much as paying for a domain name
This is why it is important to first learn before you earn
Anyone who says otherwise wants to scam you
There is no other way around legit money online
I had coaches on the way and still paid a coach recently to learn more, so all these wrong mindset you have about online business needs to be PERMANENTLY DELETED
Let my ebook: From zero to Online Success: The Entrepreneur's Guide to Making Money Online help you, showing you from the very scratch like me to being an expert and knowing what internet Business or marketing or world is all about
It will also teach you who an entrepreneur truly is and what the online world is and its terminologies
It will teach you the challenges you will face and how to overcome them sharing my experiences with you and those of others
Lastly, it will show you how to become a successful Online entrepreneur
It is not only Through the social media can you grow your business online
I have taken my time to show you
You need to have a business email address
This is why you must understand that online marketing is not the same as its offline counterpart
I taught you on synergy in using it to market your business online and here you will need it again
See, there is what is known as True and false synergizes
If the Concepts you are combining are not related, it is like combining a dynamo that later blows at your face and you lose either an arm or leg in the process.
What this means is, you won't get any single result
Online terminologies must be known which are called online marketing concepts
You can't just copy anything online because you don't run the same business
You must fine tune their model pattern to yours and use YOUR OWN METHOD to create your own online presence eg you are in the catering niche and you see someone show case their skills that landed them in good money
You don't copy the method of cooking but the principle of communication
What can you cook or teach people, should be your concern, because online, it is all about value creation
You must learn then how to turn your value creation into wealth building, and not sit on creating value only based on content but in giving what is known as commercial value
What is this commercial value or assets value etc?
My ebook again: Value Creation and Wealth Building: The Art of Value Creation to Financial Growth ' will teach you
1. What value truly is?
2. Types of value
3. How to market your value
4. How to.monetize your value for wealth Building and for your financial success
The online world made me money in all currencies Because I knew how to trade the natural currency called Time and was ready to learn and worked what I learned like crazy and still do
You are not ready to work your butts off after learning, no one will hand over their hard earned money to you
Gone are the days that people just buy what they see online, no
So, In the last topic on this mini course, I am going to be teaching you on the Steps to get Buying Customers to round off
Hope you were seriously blessed these past few days I have been teaching you and you have gained one or two things in growing that business in your hand from ground up
Essentially, I can't teach everything here but my info products will
Peace and see you on my next and final post on this amazing Mini course program
