“I have so many online business ideas. I just don’t know where to start. How do I know if I’m picking the best niche starting out to make money online? I’m kind of paralyzed. I don’t want to start out on the wrong foot. I am struggling to commit to one. Any advice would be appreciated!” – Kim, Flip Your Life Community Member

Have you watched the avatar training module yet in our training area? I would really recommend doing that first. You need to define each avatar, and research their pain points.
Also, instead of just thinking about keywords, consider what problem you will be solving. If you want to make serious money, you need to solve a serious problem.
One that will make people want to pull their wallets out to pay for it.
Can you solve a problem and deliver a result? That is a great place to start!

What do you WANT to do? Which online business idea pops out to you?
Start there. Take action. The best idea is the one you DO! Ideas don’t make you money, action does.
And here is a big dose of truth: The vast majority of “first ideas” don’t pan out. THEY CAN. But the numbers don’t lie.
However, the goal of your first online business idea is to learn the systems, learn the puzzle pieces that make the picture. Figure out wordpress, autoresponders, marketing online, etc. Learn learn learn learn.
If it does hit BOOM if it doesn’t, you pivot and try something new.
Swing swing swing swing. Keep trying.
So watch the avatar training. Start with what you want to do, something you are expert enough in to teach others or passionate enough about to not quit quickly. DO THAT. With the goal of figuring this stuff out so this idea can grow or later ideas can be put together FAST.
Imagine you just opened a puzzle box with no picture on the front. You dump all the pieces out. What do you do first?
You flip over all the pieces.
You imagine what you THINK the puzzle looks like.
Then you start.
You find the corners.
Then you make the border.
Then you work on the middle…but maybe do a little wrong and have to take it apart and try again.
Then a picture forms…you think you know what it is, but you keep going…
And the picture ends up being something else…still awesome…still whole…but different than what you first imagined.
That is your path right now. That is online business.
Dump out the pieces. Pick one of your online business ideas.
Start flipping them over. In the end, you will create something awesome…
Even if it’s not what you first imagined ?

I like what you said about actions making money, not ideas. Sure ideas are where you start, but I think that if you ask a lot of successful businessmen how they got to where they are they will just say that they worked hard. One it is an easy answer, and two, it is the truth. Hard work pays off!
