onlinep-business-3-things-online-business-needs-1An online business isn’t that complicated. You only need to accomplish 3 things, yet I see many people not able to keep up. Here are the 3 things you need — and I’ll explain each in more detail:

  1. An audience
  2. A relationship with your audience
  3. Offers to put in front of your audience

 

It doesn’t sound so hard, does it? But I see online entrepreneurs having problems with all 3 areas. This is important because if you miss the mark in any one area, you won’t have a thriving business.

Look for the links in each section, because I’ll give you resources to help you throughout.

online-business-work-at-home-1I’m writing this just as many people here in the United States and also around the world have started to work from home.

They are the lucky ones, of course, because many others have simply been laid off or lost their customers. My heart goes out to them and I hope the situation will return to normal as soon as possible.

But for those who are “teleworking,” it occurred to me that my experience of working at home for the last almost 30 years could be helpful.

For many online entrepreneurs, blogging often starts as a hobby or a way to drive traffic to the primary pages on their site. Granted, blogging offers tremendous help with:

  • Expanding your reach
  • Attracting new followers
  • Gaining traction in the search engines
  • Building a community
  • And more

 

But blogging doesn’t have to be remanded to a support role. When you think of blogging this way, it falls into the category of a money pit. Do you realize that your blog can — and should — be a moneymaker?

online-business-reach-more-people-blog-posts-1Blogging is important for several reasons:

  • It shows your expertise and that can translate into sales
  • People can find your posts by searching and that brings new people to your website
  • The more valuable content you have, the more the search engines and other websites will send people to you

But you shouldn’t just blog and leave it at that because you won’t reach enough people that way, at least in the short run. It takes a long time to build up points with the search engines and other websites.

Promote your blog posts widely
