Find your niche - This is the specific topic or product you want to create content for and sell.

Select a platform to make content - This is either YouTube, Facebook, Instagram etc…This will help you drive free traffic to your products. You can do product reviews, entertaining content or educational content surrounding your topic (niche)

Select an email provider (optional) - Collecting emails and following up with potential customers is another way to easily get free traffic. Some of the more popular email providers are Mailchimp, Aweber, and Getresponese. This will cost you a monthly fee between $10-$30 per month.
