12 Point Check list For Building An Online Business Series

This blog is the start of a 12 point check list for building an online business series. Doesn’t matter if you are a network marketer brining your business online or refocusing a business.

This week 1 will be covering points 1-2-3.

This blog has some affiliate links to products that I use. This means if you would make a purchase of any of the products, I may receive a commission but there is no extra cost to you.

Week 1 – Point 1 – The Idea

You are brand new and want to start an online business. I had a business but wanted to bring it online. The idea will help with both of these.

As a newbie you would ask how do I do this and where do I get started?

The question you would probably ask, already having a business, is how do I freshen up what I have already.

The first step in the 12 point check list for building an online business series is your idea. You have an idea of the business you want to do online. Most network marketers are not taught to do business online.

With your idea, new business or already a business, you want to bring this to your avatar, your audience, your tribe. Oh no, a thought crosses your mind there are probably millions of people that want to or are doing what I want to do.

Rest assured, no one can say it or do it the way you can and will. This is why you keep your avatar in your thoughts. Your avatar is who you will be bringing this business to. There is only one you. You will put a different spin on your idea like no one else has done.

The thing that makes any business idea great isn’t the idea itself, but who is it going to serve?

Point 2 – Make Ideas Great Again

Make ideas great again is point 2 of the 12 point check list for building an online business.

You have to have a product or service which is where your idea came from to bring it online. With network marketing there are a lot of people with products to sell.

Network marketers usually do what they are told and miss the step of asking questions. You have to know if any one wants your product or service first.

You should follow what brick and mortar businesses do. They ask a lot of questions. You need to do this by diving deep with the questions, do surveys to get your answers.

The reason why you do this is to find out if your product or service is wanted or needed. This helps your idea become a great idea for the people who want it.

The questions also help you with making your business plan.

You have to get out there and be present with value for them. They say they like what they are learning and because they are learning, they will follow you to learn more.

Now they are interested in what you have because part of your value has been part of what you are going to eventually sell to them.

Point 3 – Money, money, money

This step, point 3 in the 12 point check list for building an online business series, is understanding the model. You can package businesses differently.

Some things you may have heard, come online because it has leverage or time freedom. If you are coming from the corporate world this sounds great or possibly retired working a home business. The time freedom is mostly what grabs people’s attention.

Well, from experience I can tell you most of us have less time.

What you say!! What I said in points 1 and 2, the idea, digging deep with questions and then getting started. That all takes time.

Giving the value to educate them. That takes consistency. You work hard to build the rapport, to build the relationship. To make money this is what has to be done.

It takes time to get there.

Your questions also need to be about business models. If you have done the research properly you won’t be asking yourself, what am I doing this for?

That’s the questions you need to ask and define in your business model.

This last part take seriously as you move online and start. You have to be careful of the shiny objects. If you don’t have a business plan, a road map of where you are going and what you want to accomplish, you can put out a lot of money for different tools they say you need.

Your business as you discover doesn’t need that particular tool. Save yourself money and time by having that business plan. These 3 points are the beginning of the 12 point check list for building online series.

This is the foundation of your online business. The foundation of the next 9 steps for your online business.

These will be covered in the following blogs.
