9 Business Directions
explore → compare → research → test
The real beginner problem
The first challenge is often not building the business. It is choosing what to build.
Online entrepreneurs are exposed to dozens of possible models: services, products, affiliate offers, ecommerce, recurring revenue and many more.
Trying to pursue several of them at once can create more confusion rather than more opportunity.
This guide gives you nine directions to explore so you can compare possibilities before committing more time or money.
A BETTER WAY TO APPROACH BUSINESS IDEAS
01
Explore
Look at several possible business models.
02
Compare
Notice how their requirements differ.
03
Evaluate
Consider your skills, resources and preferences.
04
Choose
Identify the ideas worth deeper investigation.
05
Research
Validate the market, economics and requirements.
06
Test
Start small before committing major resources.
Why explore multiple models?
A good business idea should fit more than a trend.
The right direction depends on what you want to build, what you are willing to learn and which resources you actually have available.
Costs and Workloads Differ
Even online businesses can involve software, advertising, contractors, inventory or significant time.
You Have to Want to Run It
A model that looks attractive financially may still be a poor fit for the kind of work you want to do.
Inside the guide
Nine online business directions to explore.
The product introduces nine different possibilities. Rather than promising that one idea is universally “best,” use the guide as a starting point for comparison and further research.
A Different Business Direction
Explore how one online-business approach works and what it may require.
Compare the Model
Consider the work, resources and audience associated with another approach.
Consider the Economics
Think about how the model creates value and where its costs may appear.
Look at the Skill Fit
Evaluate whether the model suits abilities you have or want to develop.
Think About Delivery
Consider what has to happen after a customer decides to buy.
Review the Workload
Ask what ongoing activities are required to operate the model.
Consider Marketing
Think about how the business would find and communicate with an audience.
Research the Market
Use the idea as a starting point for demand and competitor research.
Choose What to Test
Identify which direction deserves a small real-world experiment.
Your comparison checklist
Six questions to ask before choosing any online business model.
Who Is the Customer?
Can you identify a specific audience with a real need or desire?
What Will You Sell?
Is the value proposition clear enough to explain simply?
How Will You Reach Them?
Think about SEO, content, partnerships, advertising or direct outreach.
What Does It Cost?
Consider software, marketing, inventory, contractors and your own time.
What Skills Are Required?
Separate what you can already do from what you need to learn or outsource.
Can You Test It Small?
Look for a practical way to validate the idea before making a large commitment.
An important distinction
An idea is not the same thing as a business opportunity.
The guide gives you directions to explore. You still need to evaluate the market and build the business.
No online-business model automatically produces customers, sales or income.
Costs, competition, demand, regulations, skills, pricing, marketing and execution differ from one business to another. Use the ideas as starting points for research rather than guaranteed opportunities.
