Thanks a lot for the detailed skills on what need to be done to make sure that my online presence is on the check. I have always noted that there are always issues that we overlook especially when we want to convert the online presence it something that can generate revenue for us. Identification of where your passion is has been the point that jumped into my face. This is because doing something that i like will be easier and much better to handle online. It will give me less stress on the matter since I will not struggle looking for the ideas or getting to learn of what it takes.
 
Thank you Sage for a great step by step guide. I agree that we have to focus on what people are looking for and we are there to help solve their problems for the long time at the same time picking a niche that we enjoy working within! :D
 
That is one hell of a checklist. :)

It would be awesome if you could explain each with minimal point. #Justsaying :)

I enjoyed it reading. Thumbs up!
 
Thank you for such detailed information!
It's just a full instruction to start.

Offer More Value Than They Are Being Asked
Identify what YOU Like vs. What customers are BUYING!!

Great thoughts to remember:)
