3 Steps to a GREAT Online Business, with Chris Farrell
Chris Farrell of Help My Business joins us for episode 383 of The Solopreneur Hour, live from Traffic and Conversion in San Diego.
On this show we chat about why he chose to build a membership site, how he got into online marketing in the first place and whether or not he’s always been unemployable. His advice to get started making money online boils down to three simple steps:
1. Find a profitable niche.
Figure out where people are already spending money and then choose one area to focus on.
2. Build a list of people interested in that area.
Simple: find people who are interested in what you are selling, and get them on your email list.
3. Market to them with products related to their interests.
Contact them with offers and opportunities about products they are interested in, or related to their interests.
Those are the steps Chris took to get started, and the three steps he recommends you take as well on episode 383.
