Starting an Online Business: The Most Important Steps
"You don't need to know everything at once – you just need to start."
Why Start an Online Business?
More and more people are looking for a way out of their stressful daily lives. For many, an online business is the key to more freedom, self-determination – and a life without constant exhaustion.
But how do you start the right way? What do you really need – and what not?
In this article, you’ll get an honest overview:
✅ The most important steps to get started
✅ How to find your topic
✅ Which 3 typical mistakes you absolutely must avoid
✅ And why my e-book can be a real shortcut for you
Step 1: Know your "Why"
Before you begin, ask yourself an honest question: Why do you want to start your own business?
Because you want to get out of a job that drains you? Because you finally want to work flexibly? Because you want to be free and independent? Or because you want to help others with your knowledge?
🎯 Your "Why" is your inner drive.
It will carry you through phases of doubt or exhaustion. Write it down. Hang it on your wall. Make it the foundation of your business journey.
Step 2: Find your topic – with low energy
Many people think you need a huge passion or expert knowledge. Not true.
What you need is a topic that:
interests you (you don’t have to be a pro!)
helps others (offers real solutions!)
can be offered digitally (e.g. e-book, course, design, service)
Ask yourself:
What do you enjoy talking about with others?
What comes easy to you that others find hard?
What experiences have you had that could help others?
Examples:
Found your way out of burnout? ➜ Mini-course on “Self-Care”
Mental clarity despite chaos? ➜ Workbook for more focus
You're creative? ➜ Design print-on-demand products
Step 3: Start small – think big
Many get lost in the beginning: website, logo, funnel, newsletter, 100 ideas at once.
❌ Stop.
Start smart:
Create one offer page (e.g. your e-book or a freebie)
Collect email addresses
Share first pieces of content (TikTok, Instagram, Pinterest, blog etc.)
Your goal: a working mini version of your business model. The rest will follow step by step.
Avoid these 3 typical beginner mistakes:
Perfection instead of action
Many spend months preparing – but sell nothing. Start, even if things aren’t perfect yet.
Trying to do it all alone
There are tools and templates that save time and energy. Use them. (e.g. my e-book as a shortcut)
Too many projects at once
Focus on one single income stream – and build it systematically. Expand only after that.
