What is one of the quickest and easiest ways to make your first sales? Listen on to find out how…
So, how can you go about making sales within 24 hours of going live with your new business?
The answer is simple, sell directly to your friends and family.
Selling to your friends and family is super quick and easy to do as it doesn’t cost anything to message them and ask if they’re interested in buying from you. What’s more, they may be more than happy to help you out with your new business and they are likely to be your first advocates - they can help spread the message of your new business and help you sell more.
You can tap into a larger audience of your friend’s friends. With ‘seven degrees of separation’, this tactic may be more beneficial than you immediately may think.
Before buying a business, why not ask your friends if they would buy from you now, in the form of pre-orders (you can easily send invoices using PayPal or ask for a quick money app transfer if you have an account) then you can make money from your business before even having anything to sell. This will also help gauge how many people are interested in what you want to sell online.

Find out about your target audience fast
This process also provides you the opportunity to ask your target audience direct questions, such as what do they want out of your product? What is the main pain point you will be wanting to address.
Here’s a great case study for you: You may have heard of Harry’s. They managed to gather 100,000 emails by utilising their network through an audacious referral program to raise the hype of their company before their launch. Harry’s started with a landing page which rewards participants with future shavers and men’s grooming product depending on how many people they refer. This marketing campaign went viral, but how did they start this chain reaction to get 100,000 emails gathered in 7 days? They email their friends, colleagues and network to get the ball rolling.
Expand in to your networks and social circles
You can do the same, expand into your network of colleges, fans and social media followers and ask if they would buy what you wish to sell. Make pre-orders to gauge the market, then work on building your business, set to launch.
We find that successful Startup Streams members make their first sales this way, then use what funds they raise to re-invest into their first ad campaigns such as Facebook Ads, Google ads or increasingly popular TikTok ads.
Who do you know who would be interested in buying what you intend to sell?
Sell them the solution…
