The idea of this post, to keep track of the beginnings of a business, was given to me by the great @Andy Black.
The main purpose is to report the start-up and execution of a small business.
From scratch, no money, no list.
What I have in mind is based on three principles:
- It helps people.
- You get paid.
- Helps more people
(If you’ve already read it somewhere... yes, it’s Andy’s own bio).
If you have read my intro (you can find it here), you already know that I, perhaps more than many others, am stuck and paralyzed in starting my entrepreneurial adventure.
There are a lot of questions going through my mind. I’ll keep track of them here.
As first step, I did Keyword Planner research.
I’ve been researching terms that are easier for me to deal with.
- Psychology
- Triathlon - my sport
- Supply Chain - the market where I work (Supply chain has more searches of "international trade")
I’ll bring you back a screen of the results, because maybe there’s something I don’t understand:
Psychology - Italian language - location: Italy
Triathlon - Italian language - location: Italy
Supply Chain - English language - location: Italy and USA
Triathlon - English language - location: Italy and USA
Psychology - English language - location: USA and UK
Research extract from psychology/USA and UK, about three sub-topics of which I have a minimum of knowledge and could cover.
The suggested words, however, remain very generic.
In psychology, there are no specific suggestions about pathologies (such as anxiety) but a list of all types of psychology.
In triathlon, there are specific types of triathlon and competitions.
In the supply chain, we speak of management and bunches of very generic words.
So I ask myself: how do you identify the topics to be covered?
Do you choose one from that list?
Or do you do a deeper search on new keywords? If so, how?
Then, how individuals what is sold and where? Clickbank?
I understood the concept of staying simple, and working, well and so, when the lead contacts you, somehow.
But I really miss the concepts...
By sticking to psychology, by continuing what we said before, and not making things too complicated, with these general findings, how do you understand what people need?
I thought I’d make a list of all the pathologies/terms related to psychology and go and do a search on the planner of those words.
Is that a useful method?
I’m asking because I really feel connected to what you’re saying, "help people, get paid, help more people." But I don’t know how. ☹
