Tip 8: Effective Marketing
Marketing is an area many small business owners are uncomfortable with, but with a little planning and covering the basics, it doesn’t have to be that scary.

Know Your Customer
Step one is thinking like your customer. Get this right and everything else about marketing is easy. You must recognise that not everyone can be your customer. If you attempt to market to everyone, then you’ll do an average job. If you market just to target customers, then you’ll do an amazing, focused job

Tip 7: Network Like A Master
As a small business owner, you are the best salesman, the point of contact with the customer and the person that people complain to! As you grow this can evolve but when you start your business no one will understand it like you or convince prospects to buy from you and customers to remain with you.

The most cost-effective way to achieve this is networking. You need to make yourself part of the community and become someone trusted in your sector. The old adage is true, people buy from people and the best way to meet people is networking

Tip 6: Articulate What Makes You Special
We have a plan and it’s almost time to go out into the wild and start talking to people, but before you do, make sure you can articulate what makes you stand out from the crowd, why someone should choose you.

Very few businesses are truly unique in the modern world, but find a combination of things that when grouped make you different from the rest. It might be the niche that you target, the way you support the product, it could be your pricing model, maybe it's a combination of all of them or ten other things.

Tip 5: Everyone Needs A Business Plan
Now it’s time to get very practical. Any business, regardless of size, needs a business plan.

Once created, it allows you to plan changes as the business and the business structure evolves.

Many of the factors we have covered in tips 1-4 should be added to your business plan, for example, what are your goals, the competitor landscape and niche you will be targeting.

Tip 4: Set Goals
If you don’t understand your destination then your journey will have no direction. At the beginning of your journey towards creating your new small business you need to have goals, the things you want to achieve.

These will be a combination of short term and long term, starting with the overall goals and working backwards. You’ll set your goals for the next couple of years then work out the smaller goals that will help you achieve that.

For example, depending how much you can invest into your business at the start will dictate how quickly you need to be profitable. For others, they will need to make money from day one. To achieve these goals you’ll need to track your business finances from the start.

Tip 3: Define Who You Are
What Is Your Mission
Branding is not a concept most small businesses think about, but it is more than just a logo or name. It is the essence of what you stand for. Do you exist to provide the best quality in your chosen field? Is your goal to be a supporter of local businesses? Do you simply aim to be the cheapest option?

These are the types of questions you should be asking yourself, leading to understanding your mission. A mission statement is about the purpose of your business, what it aims to achieve. If your goal is to grow to include multiple staff it will help them understand the business, but if your initial ambition is to be self-employed, then the mission will be about your goals.

Tip 2: Find Your Niche
Great news, you have selected a sector and product you want to sell. Time to start selling, right? Wrong. Most sectors are massive and to get your message heard and gain momentum, you want to find a sub-section, commonly known as a niche. Let us explain with an example.

“XYZ Creative Services” designs and develops websites; they attempt to appeal to everyone and struggle to distinguish themselves from the other 1,000 web design agencies.

“Hospitality Creative Services” designs and develops websites for restaurants and venues. They focus on this specific niche and can demonstrate why they are so different from the competition.

Tip 1: Research Before You Begin
You have a great business idea, your enthusiasm level is high and are ready to get going. We don’t want to lose that momentum, but before starting your own business you need to put in some background work, starting with researching how unique the business idea is.

The reality is 99% of businesses that get created today have direct competition from day one. That is not a problem, but you do need to understand that competition and your sector before you go headfirst into creating your new small business.
