In this concise instructional video, Kelly Alhooie outlines a step‑by‑step framework for launching an online business in 2026. She advises creators to first immerse themselves in niche Facebook groups, befriending members and cataloguing the exact language they use about their problems in a spreadsheet. This data drives the creation of targeted products or content. Next, she recommends cold‑direct‑messaging (DM) the identified problem‑owners to introduce solutions. To build credibility, she suggests setting up a Google My Business profile and consistently publishing niche‑specific social media content. The core of her advice stresses mastering messaging: understanding what the audience is asking for by mining questions on Reddit, Facebook groups, and other forums, then tailoring communication to those queries. The overall message is that you don’t need a perfect plan before starting—just systematic community research, outreach, and clear messaging.

In 2026, if you wanna start an online business, this is what I need you to do. Number 1, I need you to go to all the Facebook groups that are in your niche, join them, and friend the people. See what they are saying. Take the words of what they say, put it in an Excel spreadsheet, and then start producing products or content on that stuff to solve people's problems. Next, I would go to the DMs and I would start to cold DM the people that have the problems in the Facebook group. From there, I need you to start a Google My Business profile so that people get to know you. I need you to also be able to put out social media content for your niche. And I believe this is where everyone gets it wrong, is they don't understand messaging. So if you cannot talk to your person, you're not going to attract anyone. So the number one thing I need you to make sure you're researching is what are your people asking for? And you can find that all on Reddit, Facebook groups, and on any other forums.
