Target Market
When choosing a target market, you also have to think of something you also want and you have
a background or idea on which you can sell confidently.
You can start by finding a problem to solve. Think of your target market and ways in which you
can help them. For example:
Target market: Working moms with young children who started business recently.
Problem: Most moms find it hard to reach out to people and sell their products.
Solution: Create a time-saving card for their packaging or help them in social media
management.
Target market: Teenage fashion girls
Problem: The girls wanted to stand out but in budget.
Solution: Design and make a unique set of clothes that are also affordable.

Creating content can also help you with your online business journey. When people find
interesting details in your content, they might be looking for answers and reach out to you. For
example, define your item then put all the details on how to use it, what is the importance of the
product, when and where can you use it, and if it can be used as an everyday item or occasional
one. Be an active seller on your social media platforms.
