3 hours and 42 minutes.

At least, that’s how long it just took me to do the following for a brand new online business:

  • Keyword research for a domain name
  • Buy domain and hosting
  • Install WordPress
  • Find a decent theme that works for the site
  • Design a company logo from scratch
  • Fiddle with theme settings to make it look perfect
  • Set up new social media accounts and follow related people
  • Brainstorm over 100 post ideas for content
  • Keyword research for all the above content
  • Brainstorm monetization methods and a future business plan
  • Write 7 full site pages and 2 blog posts

And I’m just getting warmed up.

It doesn’t have to be hard and specially with the advances in online business and technology, it can be very easy to set up your first online business, in less than a day. The setting it up is so easy! Takes mere hours, but the actual work involved in making it a success is a different ball game.

An online business

There are some start-up companies who make over a million in their first year, and some who don’t make anything for the first 10. IT depends on a number of things, which are too complicated to go into here, but the fact is that with an ONLINE business, the costs involved are almost nothing. You can create an online store on Shopify in minutes these days.

You don’t have to buy stock, rent a warehouse and pay bills all you have to do is buy a domain name and hosting, which cost mere pennies a week. It’s so simple, and yet few people dare to even try.

My new online business

It doesn’t take much effort, and in fact I’ll probably even put a resource on this website telling you how to start an online business in very little time. Because of the low start up costs, you could do this from home in your spare time. I know this is a little cliched and people always say ‘start a business from home, earn millions a week’ but it’s possible.

I’m not trying to sell you anything here, I’m honestly telling you it’s possible. Sure, I’ll make a few bucks if you purchase a domain and hosting through my link, but that’s the way the world goes round. I’m helping you/inspiring you, you’re helping me.

How to do the same?

If you want to learn how to do the same, I have a guide on building your business that you love. It’s a long guide and it might take you a good 20 minutes to read through several times and digest. Then, after that it will take you a good hour or two to get started, but it could be the best decision you’ve made in your whole life.
