Starting my online business was seriously one of the BEST things I've ever done for myself and my family. While it took some hard work (and a lot of trial and error!) to turn into a success, it's ultimately given us so much flexibility and freedom -- not to mention been a great source of income.
Today, I want to show you how YOU can start your own online business. It doesn't have to be complicated! Anyone can do it if they put their mind to it and do the work. (You're no exception! ❤️)

I found affiliate marketing and KZbin are an ideal combination for those who want to start a business now with minimal moving parts, meaning no holding up by others, no meeting after meeting with your business partners, no need to deal with customers, etc. Great advices on creating a business plan, getting things started, staying committed and many more Gillian!

[@kikodinhoalexandros2534]

Sounds like what I would love to do but am merely a beginner. How do I go about that if you don’t mind sharing.

[@ffstyle]

@@kikodinhoalexandros2534 Gillian actually provided great insights in this video. One of the best advices is Just Start especially when you’re a beginner. If your mobile phone has a camera, you can start creating KZbin videos with it already. There are many businesses especially the big ones have an affiliate program online you can join for free to become an affiliate. Do research on those companies and their products or services you believe in and see what you feel your KZbin channel should be about, which will become your niche. Have an open mind and be willing to learn and try new things. Expect some failures to come along the way and learn to be okay with them because it is perfectly normal. We actually learn the fastest from failures and mistakes, once you grasped that concept, you will reach your goals sooner on this new path. And this path can be lonely, so I highly recommend you to join some groups or communities online where the like-minded people are to help you keep going and growing. Hopefully this is helpful, just start and take action is really the best step forward!

[@oliviarose1133]

@@elijahwareham7491 It’s really important to study and learn legal matters before starting your own business. I’m 15 and am studying business in school, so I already know enough about taxes, terms of use, etc. All you can really do is either take it up as a subject, depending on your school or whatever, or begin self-educating and get some books that go in depth on the topic. There is plenty of information you can find about this stuff pretty much anywhere !! You can also start courses online or in real life for a boost as well, although I think they’re pricey 😬

[@lionelh7217]

I think this is more on online businesses than physical businesses ?

[@oliviarose1133]

@@lionelh7217 you’re right ! It is. Meaning there are many other things to be aware of but even if you have an online business, you still need to learn and know all of the legal matters. You can very much get in trouble with an online business just as easily as you can with a physical business. There isn’t too much of a big difference, although online businesses are a bit easier to set up - there is still so much more effort needed to be put in for it to be successful.

Excellent tips! You always give so much value in all of your videos. And I always advise my clients to "treat their business like a real business" including registering the business with their State or County and getting a business tax ID number as well as opening up a bank account. There's so much more to do, but even these three basic steps will show the IRS that you mean business!

*The best path to more financial freedom and fulfillment is to start and grow an online coaching or consulting business. You need to know your skills or develop the skills to help a particular niche make a transformation to go from their current situation to their desired situation. You don;t even need a degree, fancy website, or certifications, you can just leverage a skill you have or obstacle you have overcome. But if you want to grow to 6-figures+ fast and without lots of wasted times, setbacks then just get a mentor/coach who has done what you want or can help you do what you want to achieve and cut the learning curve adn fast track your path to making more income and helping change more lives*
