Starting an Online Business in 2023
💡 Making any business is a challenging process, however, in the world of fast developing technologies it takes a lot of effort to keep up with it. This is why I decided to create this guide in order to help you to start your own online business.
Starting
First of all this guide is going to include useful tools for your online business. This guide does not have any information about coming up with ideas for one.
Collecting payments
Most important for business to survive is to make profit. This is why we are going to start with apps that help you to make card payments available on your website. My personal favourites are:
Stripe | Payment Processing Platform for the Internet
Accept Payments Anywhere - Grow Your Business | Square
These two tools are going to help with collecting payments, please read carefully the term&conditions about which businesses they work with, as some of the businesses are not allowed in these entities.
Automating your tasks
Automating your tasks and saving your time is crucial nowadays, this is where Zapier comes very handy as it helps you to speed up the simple business tasks.

Design
In terms of design apps, I personally prefer Adobe XD, however, Figma has been bought recently by Adobe. As of now Figma still says one of the leading tools to use for digital design. I prefer the UX/UI design more in Adobe XD, however, when it comes to working with the clients, functionality and the collaboration of the workspace Figma comes first.

Building a Web-Site
Although there are many option of website builders available out there, the one that I like the most. Its simple design makes all the tools available very intuitive and easy to create website. This is why I love wix.com the most. Other website builders to consider are WordPress.com for more flexibility and complexity and Shopify.com for setting up E-Commerce business.

Getting a Domain
Domain market has a lot of competition with godaddy.com and domains.google being the biggest ones on the market. Simply choose the name of your business and see which prices are going to be cheaper for a specific name.

A.I.
ne of the most useful A.I. right now would be ChatGPT by OpenAi, simply type anything you want and you will be able to find answers to your questions. I use ChatGPT for email templates.
