95: Online Business Ideas For 2021 - #GrowYourLife

Hey everyone, thanks for listening to the Grow youw Life podcast. My name is Jeremiah Krakowski. If you haven't listened to this podcast yet, I helped businesses for the last 17 years grow and get more sales online. And that's what I want to help you with, is some of the mindset and strategies, marketing strategies for you to get more sales on the Internet today is a topic I've had a lot of people ask me about, but I've never actually talked about. And so I'm going to use my trusty friend Google and YouTube to help me along the way to give you an inside look into part of my research process. I think you're gonna really like this. Kind of gonna be a guided tour together that we're gonna go on together. Before I go into that, I wanna let you know, if you haven't yet joined the GrowYourLife community on Facebook, join it. There's over 1500 people in there just like yourself that are growing in their life and in their business. You can ask any questions in there. There's no stupid questions. You're not gonna be judged for what you ask. You can literally ask anything related to your business. Getting advice. There's people with skill as well as myself answering your questions in there. So post your questions in there. Make sure you join the group. I also have a brand new course that I just released about a week ago called Irresistible Offers that Sell. Basically, this is the number one thing that I found the most common pattern across all of my coaching clients over the last year and working with people over the last six years through their businesses, the biggest area that they needed help with was figuring out how to create an offer or fix an existing offer that they had to get more sales. And so this course walks you through how to build out offers. What's the difference between offers and ads? Well, an ad is an invitation that leads people to an offer. So if you have something for sale, you gotta make an irresistible offer that gets people to say, yes, I want to buy that. And so that course walks you through everything that I know on creating offers that get people to buy from you. I believe it'll help almost everybody who buys it increase their conversion ratios and get more sales online. There's also a 30 day money back guarantee to it and it's less than a hundred bucks. So check it out on my website, Jeremiah Krakowski dot com. I think it's really going to help you. Now today, ideas for Internet business. You know, there are a lot of things that you can do online. There's a lot of ways to make money online. People sometimes aren't aware of some of these ideas. And so I just wanted to come and do a simple Google search really and walk you through some of these. I'm literally going over to Google here on my computer and we're going to go through some of these ideas together and break down what I think are some good trends for you to jump on. Again, you can look these up yourself. Most of what I come up with and ideas for research, I'm just googling it and youtubing it. And that's a secret for you. If you don't know the answer to something, use a search engine, search for it. You could even join some Facebook groups and ask questions. Ideas for Internet business is what I Googled here. And so here's some of the top listings that came up. These are actually really good ideas by the way. You know, you can start your own clothing line now obviously there are some pieces to that that you know, you, you need to know kind of how to source certain clothes and, and, and like what people want and identify what people would want to wear. Launch a drop shipping store. You can find products and services, e commerce that you basically get the product and the company ship it out for you as well. There's affiliate marketing. If you're artistic, you could create art and sell it online. It could be audio art, it could be visual art, it could be photography. You can write. You can actually join sites like Fiverr and Upwork and write. Be a designer, a developer, a writer and do services for other people. You could create an online course. That's my favorite way of kind of getting out there and making money. It's one of the fastest ways to do that is if you have any skill sets. You can, you can just record yourself through free apps like obs and sell online courses. You can find stuff at garage sales and flip it. You can write your own books, self publish a book, start a blog, become somebody's virtual assistant for their business. You could build apps and websites. You could do marketing services. You could actually take the courses that I have on Facebook ads, Instagram ads, website building and creating offers and actually do those services for other people. You can launch a podcast, do affiliate marketing, create a subscription, a membership, find a niche product to sell. Or you could create your own homemade goods. So like that right there was from Shopify. That was their business ideas. Let's go through. Here's, here's another list. You know, okay, blog, monetize it. Finding a niche blog. Something that's a topic that you're passionate about. These are all some of the greatest ideas really. Like if I was just starting out today and I was you, like, I would pick which one of these really interests me and just do it and just go for it. You know, I started the podcast, my courses and blogging because those were, I had experience in those already. So I knew that those were a way to grow, build my following, get people to trust me and then start to grow a business that pays me now a full time income. And now I coach and consult other people on how to do the same thing. Are these challenging? Yes, these are all challenging. They all have certain levels of challenges to them. You're gonna have to learn things. You know, you could even have a Facebook ads agency. You could do SEO, you could do website building, you could do copywriting, you could, you could do all of this type of stuff for people. You could flip products on ebay. That's even another one, a niche that like I know that I could make money from is I. You can easily buy video games at a low cost on ebay and sell them at a higher price if you're able to sit on it long enough and easily make twice as much as what you paid for the game. There's so much opportunity out there. You just have to go out and get it. I think many times we get caught up in our head of overthinking all of these different ideas that we don't do anything. You know, there's businesses out there that need to generate leads, they need to get customers in. If you can either help a business get customers or create your own products and get customers or find products to sell to people online, or find a way that either it promotes it and you get paid a commission for promoting things, those are all the ways that you can make money on the Internet. Literally anybody. If you're listening to this podcast right now, you could get started with a service based business helping people, even with tech support. You could help them write resumes, you could help with technical writing. There's all these different things. I'm reading a blog post here on websitesetup.org Again, like I said, off of Google. These are all different ideas that the top listings on Google essentially all say the same thing. Social media, marketing, freelance design, ebook writing. You could do translation, you could do editing, writing, editing, editing for different people. You can do freelance research, business coaching. That's another great way to make a lot of money is business coaching. And often the people that I work with, they create Courses or they do business coaching. And the reason why is those are actually probably the two most probably profitable and fastest, easiest ways to scale a business up to a level that you're making seven figures is in that niche, you kind of niche down to a certain type of customer. And that's how you can make money in that industry. Let's see. IT Consulting, online therapy, Travel planning, Transcription, stock or cryptocurrency trading, life coaching, video editing. So again, these are all just ideas that pretty much anybody can get started doing. What I find though is that there's not a lack of ideas out there. I'm telling you, you just Google it for like five minutes and you're gonna find 1001 ideas for a business on the Internet. There's so many different ways that you can make money. I have a lot of people that ask me this and I'm excited. Cause now I can actually give this podcast episode to some of the people that. What are some of the ideas for things that I could sell or do? This is going to be the episode that I give them because it's going to jog your memory. It's going to get your mind thinking. I want you to think about some of those ideas that I mentioned. Like I said, I just read them right off of Google. The Google listings that came up. Do any of those grab you? Or any of those ideas that maybe you're like, hey, I'd like to either try that out or learn it. Go through and do a Google search like I did and maybe write down the top five that you would think of doing. What are those top five things? You know, give me your top five. In fact, I'd love for you to even go post that in the Grow youw Life group. You know, what are some of your top five ideas? Or send me a DM for an online business. And then what's your kind of sticking point to keep you from doing that. So the idea is you come up with the top five ideas. What are the ones that really grab you? I want you to really think about that. If you could like look at a list of those different ideas, which one's really like, yeah, I could do that. I'd like to figure that out. What would that be? What would those be? Which ones specifically? Maybe you're listening to my podcast and you'd like to learn how to do a podcast like this. I have an episode that walks you through. I think it's episode number 10 or 11 that walks you through how to create a podcast on this podcast right Here a number of my different episodes walk you through these different things. What are maybe the top five that grab you and then what are the things that you need to learn today and in the future to start doing those things? One thing that you might have noticed is that from that list, I actually didn't mention network marketing. Network marketing, I think, falls in the lane of affiliate marketing and direct sales because you're essentially just selling somebody else's product that they created at a commission. You can build a team and do that. It's a great way to make a lot of money. And if you're really charismatic in a. You have a charismatic personality and love talking with people, that's a great way to do that. But it is one also one of the more challenging ways. The startup cost is really low, the startup effort is really low. But to get a profitable business going is actually a lot harder than some of these other ways to do things. I'm just gonna be totally honest with you. Some of these other business ideas, they might have a little bit more of a learning curve initially, but once you get it going, they are actually easier to and get more customers in, in my opinion and my experience. And so what are some of those top five areas? What are some of these top five ideas that you'd like to do to make money online? Write those down, figure out what you need to learn, what you need to discover that you don't know how to do right now to. To head in that direction. As long as you have a goal, as long as you have something written down, as long as you have some something to look forward to, in this way you're going to be able to figure out ideas for what to do on the Internet. And now that's when we niche down, right? They say the riches are in the niches. So you might create a course. Well, what's going to the course going to be on. There's a lot of different topics. So that's where you want to maybe figure out the overarching and then figure out what niche you want to be in or what niche do you already have people asking you for help in? People are going to buy what there's a proven market for. And so you need to prove your market. You need to look at are there people buying already out there in the marketplace? What it is that I'm offering, Are people already buying out there in the marketplace? What it is that I'm putting out there? Is there a demand for it? Ultimately you will struggle in a business online if there's Not a demand for it. And you don't have millions of dollars to create a demand. You know, Steve Jobs and Apple and these big billion dollar companies, they're able to create a demand out of thin air with their marketing dollars. For the rest of us that are getting started, we have to almost kind of go into where is there already a demand? And that's where now the question is, well, is there too much competition to get into each market? I'm going to say this. No, there's not. I sell products and services in the market that has the most competition, online marketing and business coaching. I've never once thought of the fact that there's a lot of competition in the market before getting started. There's a learning curve. Yeah, I got to kind of grow and prove myself and validate myself and put myself out there and keep showing up every single day. But what sets me apart is a. I think I'm probably one of the most trustworthy people that you can find out there. Honest, have a lot of integrity. The stuff that I'm, I'm teaching you, it works. And so I really kind of go off of that. That's what sets me apart is I know that I have that trustworthiness and people do trust me. And the more that I put myself out there, the more that I talk, the more that I validate that fact. People come and buy from me and it's great. That's awesome. I've built a brand on that factor. And so if that's you as well, which I believe I would attract a very similar type person to me, you can definitely set yourself apart just with your integrity, just by having integrity in the marketplace, in maybe marketplaces that have a lot of competition where there's a lack of integrity, there's a lot of a lack of integrity in the business coaching and marketing services industries. And so if you're somebody that has integrity in those markets, you instantly go to the top and set yourself apart from other people that are doing those types of things. Okay, that's with any product or service out there. And ultimately to get people to buy from you, you have to show people that you're somebody that they can trust. So trust is the secret sauce in all of these different ideas for the Internet. This is kind of what sets apart the professionals from the not is if you can get your audience to trust you, if you can get people to trust what you say, you can lead them to buy from you just about anything. So because people will trust the sales pitch, they'll be willing to put their credit card down. And so whatever you can do to increase that level of trust with people, that's ultimately going to be what most of your marketing activities are going to be. You demonstrate your value, you show up with consistency, you're showing that your products are legit. If you got an e commerce product, what sets you apart from them? Buying it from 10 other people is, well, how do you prove that yours is legit? You get reviews, you get case studies, you get testimonials. Again, costs money. To make money, some of you might have to send out products and take a loss on the front end. And I think that's where sometimes why people are attracted to different opportunities like network marketing, because there's a low startup cost, there's a very low startup cost with online courses and doing marketing services. But at the end of the day, you're still gonna have to grind it out a little bit, you know, and take a loss up front to build some of those case studies. Now I have a whole bunch of case studies on my website of people that I've helped make six, seven, eight figures. And that's what I love to do, is help people do that. And so if you're wondering what are some of the ideas that you can do when you write down those five things, those top five things, which ones stand out to you? You figure out, what do I need to learn? Then you learn those things and, and you, you just show up. This is why most of my content that you see me put on my social media is all about self confidence. It's all about self image, is all about self care. Because once it comes time for you to decide on one of those things to do, learn the skills that you don't currently possess. Now you got to show up, put yourself out there to be seen and heard by other people. And that's risky because people can judge you and initially people aren't going to trust you. And that's okay. They didn't. I had a lot of people who they, if they knew me from other businesses that I'd worked with, they trusted me. If they didn't, they absolutely didn't at all. So I had to come to grips with the fact that, wow, like, why don't people trust me? I haven't done anything wrong. Well, that's part of the process of growing as a business. That's part of the resistance factor that you run into as you grow as a business owner is that people, people are initially not going to trust you in the beginning. And so what can you do to increase that level of trust. That's what helps you sell to people. And that's what I walk you through in my irresistible offers that sell course is the ways to create offers online. No matter what it is products or services that you're selling to get people to buy from you on the Internet. Okay? And so once you get to that place of putting yourself out there, you're essentially making yourself vulnerable to be seen and heard and judged by people out there. And that's where that mindset, that mental factor comes into place. Once you break past that worrying what people think about you, sky's the limit. You can sell anything because you're not worried about what people are gonna say when you put things out there or how you might look when you're selling things or when you create things or when you launch stuff. You just now just don't even think about that anymore. And that's where once you get to that place that now you're in relentless action taking mode and nothing can stop you. And so we start with these ideas. You know, what are ideas? Let's validate. The idea is that there are demand in the marketplace. What's a niche that we want to do? Again, Google can help you with a lot of this. Doing research, market research in Facebook groups, looking at different Facebook pages, who are other people in that industry? Essentially you will have to sort of embody whoever's the top influencer in certain industries. Like I've had to come to grips with that myself. Is, is that I, for me to have success in this industry, I will have to in some ways look, walk and talk and sound like a lot of the same people that are the top influencers in my industry as well. And that's a shift for me. That was a big shift for me. Once you get past a lot of the mental factors, that's why a lot of this is mental. And you take action, you start building, you start putting yourself out there. Takes a while to get traction, takes a while to get people to buy from you. It takes a while for things to start to click and come together. But that's where the process is important. You want to be relentless in taking action as quickly as possible, making decisions as fast as possible. Some of you are going to go through this list this next week and launch something in a week and that's normal. And some of you are going to take this and probably not do anything for a year and that's okay too. But if you can get better at making decisions quickly while trusting that the process does take a long time. And not being attached to things working out perfectly, meaning not being attached to needing to get sales right away, you become okay with the fact that, hey, you're probably going to struggle in the beginning. You become totally okay with that fact. Nothing can stop you. And you get out there and you start putting your products or services out there, you start learning, okay, there's this one niche in the market, but I might do better by pivoting just a little bit into another niche in the market and discovering exactly what people really need, what they want, what they want to hear from you. That's been the journey that I've been on. Every single business owner that I've ever worked with has been in a constant state of evolution, a constant state of finding what are the, what's the niche, what's the most profitable area that their target customer wants help with. And ultimately for you to get more sales online, that's what you got to do, is you got to be willing to be fluid with that process, but you got to take action. You got to do something, you got to do the research, you got to show up. If you, if, if I can teach you how to fish rather than just giving you a fish, you're going to make a lot more money. And that's what I have always wanted to do with this podcast with my courses with coaching, is I want to empower you to go further than where I'm at with things, to go further than where my clients are at with the, further than the people I've ever worked with are at. I work with some very successful multimillionaires. So I know literally you can go from stay at home mom, you can go from, you know, musician, you can go from being a bartender to making a multi million dollar business. Because I've seen it happen. I've seen people do it, so I've seen it firsthand and I've helped people do it. You just have to believe it and start doing the steps to make it happen for you. Don't give up just because you're not seeing the results right away. And be willing to do some hard work, be willing to grind it out, but you got to take action. You got to do something on a regular basis. All right? So if you would like some help getting some more direction on this, once you come up with your, your top five things, let's talk through it.
