In this digital age, launching a business is easy but launching a profitable business is hard. When you cannot make your business profitable, you end up shutting down within the first year. In order to avoid the failure, you will have to take some steps that ensure that your business is profitable.
Validate Your Idea
Your business ideas should be viable for you and also have the potential to make money. If you have just $1000 in your pocket, you cannot set up a manufacturing plant but you might be able to setup a screen printing shop. Your business idea should also look promising.
Determine Who Your Customers Are
Starting a business means you are selling products or services. You need to check your potential customers. Without knowing who your customers, your business will be unable to sell products.
Write a Detailed Business Plan
You need a step by step process involved with your business in black and white. This will allow you to do what needs to be done. Writing a business plan will ease your work.
Build a Brand
Branding is very important, your brand identity should be unique and the customers should be able to connect with it.
Create a Business Website
You need a website even when your business is offline.

Once you have set up your online business, you should do the following things to build your business brand:
Reach Your Target market With Content Marketing
In order to do content marketing, focus on four things: blogs, videos, infographics/graphics, and podcasts. Regularly create content and distribute your content through different channels. Your content should properly match with the sales funnel you have created.
Run Email Marketing Campaign
Build email lists and then start sending marketing emails to your subscribers. How do you do that? Create an ad offering free products for the exchange of email. Create a webinar and encourage people to register for your webinars through emails. Send marketing emails regularly, but do not spam.
Rank Your Business on Online Search
When people search online for the products that you are also selling, your business should appear on the top search lists. In order to do that determine best performing keywords on your niche. Create content based on the search intent, and create long posts.
Generate 5-Star Reviews
Reviews are great to generate sales because people like to buy products that have a lot of positive reviews. Encourage people to leave reviews, and give a reason for people to leave reviews. Make the reviewing process easy. In case there are negative reviews, try to address the issue raised in the reviews, without sounding offensive.

I was discussing with a colleague at work the other day and he said something about customers being overlooked and not treated right by big businesses or companies. He stated that those big companies have so many customers they don't care if they lose a few but it's not the same thing with small businesses because they still want to grow and that's why all customers matter to them as they will be treated right.
What do you think?

One of my ways to make money from cryptocurrency is by trading it. If you don't have good knowledge on how to trade cryptocurrency, it's better to hold it and wait for it to appreciate before you can make money from selling it. Trading is a lot technical and difficult.
I use Binance Futures whenever I want to trade on cryptocurrency.
Which platform do you trade on?

Have you invested in silver or gold? |

One way you could potentially earn some money in is by collecting gold or silver. One of my coworkers has recently started to collect silver, he got the idea from his father in law. I think one of my uncles also has some silver in storage somewhere too. Have you started collecting gold or silver? If so, do you plan on eventually selling it or do you want to try and hold onto it as long as possible?
