Are you doing business online? Like creating and marketing an online course?
It’s something you should urgently think about. Building a digital estate, or simply learning how to do business online, is something that should agitate your mind.
The reason is simple. Business is now done online. Leveraging technology, you can scale to reach thousands of people all over the world.
You can even if you’re a mom ‘n’ pop shop, one-man company or an independent professional (accountant, architect, lawyer, medical doctor, nurse, pharmacist, teacher, professor, you name it).
Indeed anybody with a unique passion can scale and reach thousands and reaping financial rewards in the process.
Thanks to COVID-19 the process of moving businesses online is accelerating.
The type of business you can do online is limited only by your imagination. Be careful here. When I talk about doing business online I’m not talking about twerking bum-bum on Facebook and similar platforms – that is unsolicited entertainment.
I’m talking about adding value to others in such a way they are willing to transfer cash to your bank account or pull out their debit or credit card and pay you.
One of the first persons to discover the value of doing business online was Jeff Bezos of Amazon fame. Another was Pierre Omidyar who founded eBay. Another was Craig Newman who founded Craigslist. All this was in the mid nineties.
Since then the internet has matured and thousands are making it big online: 20 year olds, 35 year olds, 55 year olds, 75 year olds.
You can become one of the new internet or online business gurus if you dedicate to learning how to go about it.
In the next episode tomorrow we’ll look at how you can join the internet gold rush. Stay tuned.
