When you’re just starting out, most new entrepreneurs think it’s counterproductive to cater to a smaller audience because you will be turning away people that potentially could have become clients. I have an answer for that! When you’re just starting out, or if business is slow, you’re basically starting with nothing to very little. So, what’s the difference? Online businesses …
Build Something That Works
I often wonder how some people planned on making their business work. It seems that online businesses fail to work because they weren’t designed too.
