5 Trending Products You Can Sell Online

There's still plenty of money to be made online in 2020. Trending products are a great way to start making money online fast, and if you start today, in a few months, your life can be totally different.

Here are 5 trending products you could sell online:

1. House plants and seedlings

2. Charcoal soap

3. Microgreens

4. Solar lights

5. Sea moss products

The thing about trending products is, while it's possible they could be here to stay, demand for them also has the potential to fizzle out, so speed is important. You can make a killing if you jump on these opportunities quickly and carve out your space.

Find something you like, research it to be sure there's demand, secure your product source, build your website and start selling! But don't spend weeks or months struggling to start or stuck forever building your website.

This kills your momentum.

Just get help where you need it so you can keep the ball rolling!

8 Sources for Free Stock Images for Your Business


One way of connecting with potential customers is through the images you use on your website and in your marketing.

All too often, I see entrepreneurs confused about why they aren't getting any sales when the images on their website have nothing to do with what they're trying to sell OR the people they're trying to sell to.

Just grabbing photos from Google won't do. Plus it could get you in trouble if you don't have legal permission to use the image.

Check out the sites on this list. They all offer free, high-quality stock images for commercial use.

That means, you can use them for your business for free depending on how you're using them (always read licensing requirements before use).

6 Mistakes on Your Website That Might Cost You Sales & How to Fix Them

 


Making these 6 mistakes on your website can be costly for any entrepreneur. The great thing is, they're all fixable with fairly easy solutions.

#1 No Contact Info

When potential customers are wrestling back and forth with whether it's safe to purchase a product they want from your website, one way to put their minds at ease and prove to them you're a legit business, is to give them a way to contact you should something go wrong with their order.

Here's how you fix this problem:

  • Get a business email for your custom domain. In other words, instead of [email protected], get an email like [email protected]. You can do this easily through Google Suite for around $6/month.
  • Add a Contact Us page on your website with a form for people to fill out.
  • Add links to your social media on your website.
  • Add a Facebook Messenger chat option to your website.
  • Get a Google Voice number and list it on your website. You can get a business number for around $10/month.

No Money for Your Business? Look at the Bright Side

Many people want to start a business but don’t because they think it’s impossible when you don’t have thousands of dollars to start with. Then there are those who are so motivated that they would start a business no matter what—even in spite of the lack of money. 

I’ve talked, in the past, about exactly how you can start a business with very little money in the How to Start an Online Business with Virtually No Money episode of my podcast, Master Your Mission. 

Most people would look at starting with no money as a major disadvantage, and it can make things more difficult, but everything is about perspective and how you look at things. You’ve got to look at the silver lining to this cloud. 

Here’s how starting a business with little to no money can be beneficial to you.

You have to be more creative.

Figuring out how to run your business and get your audience’s attention without the use of paid advertising requires you to...

6 Valuable Lessons Dropshipping Taught Me About Entrepreneurship

As you may know by now, I started my career in ecommerce with a subscription box business that failed. My next crack at ecommerce was a dropshipping business that turned out to be a successful venture for me and taught me a whole lot of valuable lessons about running a business online.

Today, I was thinking about just how much I learned from dropshipping and how much I want to share that experience and that knowledge with you. I thought one great way to do that would be to tell you some of what I learned.

So here are 6 of the most valuable lessons dropshipping taught me about running an online business:

1. That mastering Facebook ads isn’t as easy as it looks.

One of the keys to my success in dropshipping was learning how to run Facebook ads effectively, and let me tell you, it wasn’t easy. It took a lot of trial and error, a lot of disappointment, and eventually me hiring a coach to teach me how to market my business effectively. 

I think that it’s...

Why Passion is Important for Your Business

I used to think that anyone who went around telling people that, in order to be a successful entrepreneur, you have to turn your passion into a business was full of shit. I could always think of plenty of successful entrepreneurs whose businesses don’t fit that theory.

It seems slightly ridiculous to think that a gas station owner would be passionate about gas. Or that someone who owns a waste removal company would be passionate about waste. “Find something you love to do…” they said. I always thought those people were liars.

Then I started my own business, and I realized how wrong I was about that assumption. I was being too literal in how I processed that advice. 

A successful entrepreneur who owns a waste removal company may not be passionate about waste, but they’re certainly passionate about entrepreneurship, hard work, money or something related to that business.

After all the tough days and long nights that I’ve spent working on my...

7 Ways to Market Your Product or Service for Free

When most people think of what they need in order to be a successful entrepreneur, they think of one thing first. MONEY! They think they need money for inventory, money for a website, money for marketing, they think they need money for everything or they can never own a business. And they couldn’t be more WRONG!

People tend to think that if the money comes first, they’ll all of a sudden stop procrastinating and start taking action. In reality, many successful entrepreneurs, I’m talking 7 figure earners and up, started their businesses with no money.

They bootstrapped their businesses until they started seeing their profits grow. Just to be clear, as I’ve said before, what you don’t invest in money, you’ll have to invest in time, but using the lack of money as an excuse for why you can’t start some type of business, doesn’t really fly these days.

I could go into a whole spill about that, but I won’t. The point of this article...

What's the Best Online Business for You - 5 Questions to Ask Yourself

So you really want to start an online business, but there’s one major problem. You don’t know what type of business you want to start.

Because it’s so easy to start a business online—you can literally do anything—it’s also really easy to be overwhelmed with all the ideas you come up with. To make this conversation easy, let’s narrow your choices down to two main categories.

We’ll use the two I mentioned in the How to Start Your Online Business with Virtually No Money episode of my podcast, Master Your Mission—Coaching and Dropshipping.

Now, remember, Coaching means you’ll be teaching other people something that you’re an expert at, like I do. Dropshipping means you’ll have an online shop or boutique where you sell products without ever buying or holding inventory—your wholesaler holds the products and ships them directly to your customers.

To help you determine which option is best for you, I came up with...

3 Ways Your Website Can Make You Money No Matter What Your Business Is

 

In yesterday’s episode of my podcast, Master Your Mission, I talked about the importance of having a website for your business. It doesn’t matter how small your business is or what industry your business is in, you need a website.

Many of the 36% of small business owners who don’t have a website think that their business is too small for one or that if they don’t sell anything online, they don’t need one. But I would argue that you should be using your website to make money, no matter what your core business is.

So to illustrate what I mean, I’m going to give you 3 ways your website can make you money no matter what business you’re in. 

Allow customers to book and pay for services on your website.

When a customer is looking to buy, you want to capture their attention and capture their money right away. When a potential customer comes across your website, why not give them the opportunity to book and pay for your service...

I’ve been really thinking a lot about how I can help more people start their businesses and become entrepreneurs. I know that there are so many people out here who dream of doing so and are motivated, but just don’t know what kind of business to start.

There are a lot of people who just don’t have a lot of money to invest up front, so they think that they can’t start a business until they do have a lot of money to invest. I recently sent a survey out to my email list asking them what was the biggest barrier holding them back from becoming entrepreneurs, and the answer I got the most was MONEY.

I started thinking about how I can help them with money, and unfortunately, I can’t give them the money they need to start their businesses. As I thought and thought over the last few days, I...
