PART 4/4: How To Launch And Manage A New Business In Only 15 Mins A Day

Day 27: Join Facebook groups and pages

Next, you will want to start promoting manually - do things which don’t scale. Find pages on Facebook in your niche and ask politely if you can post about your business. As Facebook is a social media platform, make sure that you are actually social and engage with other people in the group or page. You’ll be able to find lots of groups in your niche, but some will be harder to find than others. Make sure you use Facebook’s search feature by finding a variety of different search terms and limit the search to groups and pages to be shown only. Whatever you do, make sure you don’t just self-promote and spam. This will be a waste of time as you’d get no sales and most likely be kicked out of the groups and pages - you need to provide value to the community.

Day 28: Instagram outreach: 

Focus on sending products to Micro-influencers. You can find influencers on Instagram using hashtags, reaching out to them and asking if they'd post about the site in return for receiving your products for free, or for payment. This is also a ‘numbers game’ so the wider your net is, the more influencers you contact, the better the results will be. You can then reinvest your income from this tactic into Facebook and Google Ads to create a steadier and less time consuming form of marketing and income at a later stage.

Day 29: Startup the next business

Now you know what to do! It is time to rinse and repeat… You have experience with setting up and launching an ecommerce business with only 15 minutes a day. You have the skills and know-how to apply this new found knowledge again and again and again. A prime reason to join Startup Streams is so that you can startup as many revenue streams as you want with our lifetime membership. So now would be a great time to start to think about which niche and store you wish to start next? Brain storm your ideas then return to Day 1 on this list and repeat the process. 

Day 30: Book a 1-to-1 session with a Startup Streams marketing advisor…

Now you have a business underway, you’ll want to start to invest what money you have made so far into a more stable and reliable form of income such as PPC (pay per click) ads on Facebook or Google. You can find out more about our marketing consultations in our podcast called ‘What is Startup Streams 1-to-1 Marketing support’. 

...and that’s it, that’s all 30 days or 30 steps to launch your first business alongside your busy work schedule. 

From now on, it is all about continually improving. This is what an entrepreneur does best. A successful entrepreneur always expands their knowledge and knows that marketing is an ever changing game: Every year algorithms get edited, different strategies stop working and new platforms are released and you can only ever get ahead of your competitors by staying relevant. Make sure you’re always learning, watching relevant YouTube videos and each time you launch a new business, push yourself harder and faster than the last time. 

Being successful online is a continuous state of review, experimentation and improvement.

Thank you for listening and best of luck with your new business...
