Essentially you want to carve out your
niche, where you can dominate first and foremost and then move
into the more general area.
Here's a preview of what you're going to go
through following Liquid Elite.
Think of
yourself as the local farmer. You work hard and develop the best tasting apples
in the county.(GetStarted)
You set up your little fruit stand across the
street from an Albertson's or Stop & Shop or Piggly-Wiggly
(depending on where in the country you're located), but customers
don't even know you're there. So you make a couple signs and
flyers and that
one curious customer finds you and tastes your amazing apples.
(Get Noticed) Word spreads,
customers tell neighbors and even though the crowds are still
going into the big grocery store across the street, they don't
buy their apples there. They always stop at your fruit stand,
and buy your apples.
Can you see the possibilities?! This
is how your business is going to start too. Do you want to see
a little preview into the future?
Before you know it, your little fruit stand can't
hold all the customers, so you start expanding and you hire a
local college student to help out in the afternoons. (Flourish)
Now that
you're selling out your apples. You decide to try your hand at
strawberries and selling apple seeds with instruction manuals
so your customers can try their hand at raising their own
apple trees...(Expand)
And that's just the beginning.
Now that you've got
an idea of your niche...
Write a Business Plan!
Business Plans are not
just for impressing investors or attracting partners, it's
about giving yourself a guide or a roadmap to follow on days
you feel unmotivated or lost or overwhelmed. Your Business
Plan should have an Order of
Operations. 
What do you need to get done before you can move onto the next
step. To learn more about writing a business plan, check out
out Learn section.
Once you've got the
business plan written out, you can start building the site
itself. Get the nitty-gritty done, build your foundation
properly and come back to the Get Noticed! section when you're
ready to work on your marketing.
If you want help
building the site itself, or don't know where to start with
technical stuff, there's a couple ways we can help:

find what you're looking for, drop me a quick email. Edge@LiquidElite.com

information you need and I just haven't added it to the site
yet. |
