    Done right, your first $1,000 can be the most important money you _ever_ earn. Have you been able to reach this milestone yet?? If not, let me know what’s holding you back!

      @Louise Yvette you are looking at your naval. My millions come from looking at their naval. I headed out and asked people what they needed. Then I trained myself to do it, screwed up, learned, finessed and delivered. I made assumptions, lost, learned and made money. Pay for your mistakes as a learning expense. Forget about you. Forget everyone who has any excuses including you. Worship the data, the market facts. Get two interns. Three is a business. One is a hobby.

    Awesome!
    Summary:
    1. Test one idea for a few months.
    2. Know what result your product/service offers
    3. Talk to people who want those results (say you’re doing marketing research for a business idea and need 5 people who want x result)
    4. Create a MVP (minimum viable product - the simple prototype version of your product/service) to sell
    5. Launch MVP (you’re not aiming for max sales) - aim for 5 sales
    Whether you sell or not, you are learning valuable information about whether to continue and try another idea & pick up how to talk to people, what there obstacles are, and how to sell

    1. Sometimes the timing isn't just right, sometimes it's accumulating funds that is the setback.
    2. There's actually a difference between what potential customers say they want and what they actually want.

    Question: the linked checklist does not appear to be what you describe in the video. You say the checklist goes over what to ask / talk about with the people who want your desired result. (Step 3.) But the link simply lists the 6 steps outlined in the video. Is it possible to add the link that describes how to talk to interested parties? (PS: Love the video! Perfect subject for where I'm currently at in my process. Thanks!)

    Hi Gillian, I am so impressed with this video. It's exactly what I need right now. I clicked the link to receive the information you spoke about in Step #3 (what questions to ask people once you get them on the phone), but it just sent me to a checklist that states steps 1 thru 6, which you just covered. Is there a different link to the correct checklist?

    Hi Gillian, thank you for this little 101 series. I’m wanting to go into the food concession business which I hope will help me grow into a brick and mortar one day. Like you said in your video about it being difficult to sell when I haven’t purchased any equipment suck as fryers, etc. My question is how much do I invest into the market research? If I were to sample out let say my funnel cake ideas to see if people would buy them. Does it warrant the purchase of a funnel cake fryer and soft serve ice cream machine? Thank you for your time Gillian! I really enjoyed your videos so far.

    Step 1: choose just 1 idea to validate for a couple of months
    Step 2: clarify the main result that your product creates
    Step 3: talk to people who want this outcome (why they want it, what is stopping them from getting it, etc) She gives a few checklist.
    Step 4: Create a beta version that you can sell. Keep it simple. Minimum viable product, a prototype.
    Step 5: Launch beta product with a minimum number of sales, maybe 5.
    Step 6: Personal, direct sales strategies. DM conversions. Tell everyone you know about this new cool thing and ask them to share it.
    Step 6: Be open to making changed and changing course.

  • @Tony-lk6sn
    @Tony-lk6sn ปีที่แล้ว

    I disagree on using friends on social media as one of the successful strategies for business. Even though this might work in some cases, selling something to your friends is completely different than selling it to a total stranger who has no idea who you are or never met you! At that point, you'll be able to test the performance of your product or service and get a completely honest or brutal criticism if your product or service sucks. Friends or family can sometimes give you false feedback because of sympathy, or they wouldn't want to upset you. Which is why I prefer concrete data from people by conducting surveys about my products on complete strangers. I believe in data testing from surveys rather than social media strategy testing for most accurate results.
