Today’s topic is how to start a digital marketing business (in 2021).
I’ve learned a lot over the years about the dos and don’ts of starting a business.
1. Start With Job Security
If you can’t support yourself going into it, you probably haven’t gained the experience you’ll need to move into entrepreneurship. Make sure you have a stable job with somewhat flexible work hours.
2. Becoming a Freelance Specialist
Start off as a specialist (content, digital media, design, analysis). Freelance and gain recurring clients. Keep selling until you have a strong enough base to quit your job
3. Expand Your Network:
Source complimentary resources / team members using networks like UpWork. Network with consultants, business owners, and other entrepreneurs who can refer business to you.
4. Maintain Cashflow
Always pay yourself first. this will keep money in your pocket, but also apply pressure to keep growing so you can continue to pay new resources as they come on. Make sure you have enough projected income for the business and try to maintain a 50% profit margin so you can add more team members or address new expenses.
5. Shore up your Process
Keep track of your process and turn it into systems over time that less experienced people can follow. Continue to find better people and challenge those you are working with to improve and expand their skillsets over time.

Over time you’ll uncover new challenges as they relate to your business specifically. Leverage your systems, processes, and network to optimize where possible.
