The fastest way to build an online business in the 21st century is to use online platforms.

Platforms:

The first mistake I made as a solopreneur was building a website. For the 2 years I supported it, it brought me one sale.

While I was struggling to promote my website, I started getting:

They don’t know which platforms to use. Can’t use them all without earning yourself a straitjacket.
They don’t know how to combine platforms to get both attention and sales.
They don’t know when is the best time to join a platform
They don’t know the latest & best platforms to join for faster results

Today, we fix this.

An online platform is a space with an existing audience engaging with content or purchasing products and services.

Platforms to Get Attention: These include social media and content platforms designed to engage users (YouTube, Medium, and more.)
Platforms to Sell Directly: These include marketplaces for freelance services and products, such as Fiverr, Etsy, and Gumroad.

Key Distinction:

Platforms That Get Attention: Optimized for engagement and visibility but harder to convert into direct sales.
Platforms That Drive Sales: Optimized for transactions and purchasing but won’t help in building a loyal audience.
