How to Start a Digital Business in 2024 - & Beyond
Tips and Techniques, Strategies and Secrets To Help You Succeed
“In the time it took you to read this sentence 20 million emails have been sent.” … John Watton
Welcome to the frenetic, fast-paced world of digital business.
As a raw beginner without a clue about how to go about it, I started a digital business online... in 1995.
Thirty years have flown by.
That digital business I launched on little but a hope and a prayer grew successful. It aligned with my passion and purpose.
And has touched thousands of lives - many of them babies!
Intrigued?
You'll understand better when you've heard a little more about my purpose in getting started during the early days of a Wild, Wild Web! 😀
Anyway...
Recently, I had this idea. To create a tutorial or overview about how to start a digital business - in 2024.
In an email to a few of my trusted friends, all of them successful digital entrepreneurs, I wrote:
Hi
I've been thinking about a way to re-build my presence in the digital business space, targeting the audience I'd like to serve.
That's small to mid level entrepreneurs, basically hobbyists or passion-preneurs.
Folks who dream of a lifestyle business that doesn't consume them - and brings in supplemental monthly incomes of $500 to $5,000, for a modest time and energy investment (say 2 to 4 hours a day, and a budget of $500 to $1,000).
Here's an outline of the content site I might build for this project.
Would you please take a quick look and let me know what else you'd like to see added to it?
Thank you!
They pitched in with suggestions and ideas.
Quickly, what began as a bare-bones outline became fleshed out into a more comprehensive and complete guide.
If you've been thinking about how to start a digital business in 2024 and beyond, then you'll find this guide of great value.
My goal is to help you:
set the right expectations
begin with an overall idea of what's ahead
make plans to get going - and get growing
deal with the setbacks and hurdles
develop the optimal mindset to succeed
