Take The Quiz

You finally have a day off, what do you do?

I'm ready to decompress! I pull out my journal and a pastel gel pen and pour out all the thoughts and emotions I've been bottling up.

 

Yours truly needs some new shoes! I hit the shops looking for a pair just trendy enough without being over-the-top, then I take myself out for an oat milk latte.

 

I Marie Kondo the heck out of my living space with special attention to my office. Reorganizing my books according to colour? Yes, please!

 

I dive back into a project that I had to put on the back burner because of my 9-5 — whether its a Pinterest board, logo, or even a poem, I live to create.

What's your biggest struggle when it comes to setting up an online buisness?

The logistics! I have a product in mind, but I don't know how to produce, price, or publicize it.

 

My brand identity! I have skills that others value – I'm just not sure how to market myself and get my name out there.

 

Finding a business I believe in! There's no way I'm working for another overbearing boss with zero values.  

 

Confidence! I can't quit second-guessing my skills. What if I put the work in, but no one notices.

You should start... Freelance Writing, Designing, or Graphic Designing!

Congrats, friend – by completing this quiz, you've shown your commitment to creating a new revenue stream 💲 According to your responses, your best bet is a freelance writing, designing, or graphic designing business!

Your imagination + critical thinking skills = magic. And rest assured that there are hundreds of people willing to pay for your services – you just have to get serious about putting yourself out there...

As a freelancer, you'll be able to set your own hours and pursue your passion, but that doesn't mean it's always a walk in the park. Owning a business comes with a lot of responsibility, but I'm willing to bet you've got what it takes!

How to Kick-Start Your Online Business in Three Simple Steps

1. Narrow Down Your Niche

No matter what sort of online business you're starting, it's necessary to niche way the heck down. If you're new to entrepreneurship, niching down means deciding on your ideal customer or client and aligning your marketing with their interests and needs – the more specific you can be, the better!

Say you want to sell to new mothers, instead of leaving it at that, dig a little deeper – maybe your ideal customer or client is actually a health-conscious mom trying to stay in shape while caring for her baby. Instead of leaning on generalities, niching down will allow you to speak directly to her and make her feel seen.

2. Establish an Online Presence

Once you've niched down your target demographic, it's time to establish your online presence. I ALWAYS recommend starting with a website, so you have somewhere to direct your social media traffic. WordPress, Squarespace, and Wix make building a site easy, but if tech isn't your thing, consider hiring a website designer.

Next, pick a couple of social media platforms to focus in on. While it can be tempting to create content across all platforms – especially for a new business – keeping up with that many demands can be overwhelming and might leave you feeling drained. If you're uncertain, stick with Facebook and Instagram.

3. Get the Word Out

So you're all set up online... now what? Start creating content and connecting with potential customers and clients! A steady stream of content is useful because it can help establish you as an expert in your field and get your name out there.

On top of that, use your new social media accounts to reach out to your ideal customers and clients. Don't be shy, friend, it's time to make yourself known.
