Digital Entrepreneurship<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\nare currently thriving in a digital age. Where marketing costs have become more\nand more affordable, and the entrepreneurial dream has become a reality.\nCreativity and authenticity is the new strategy, and all of this can be done\nthrough digital entrepreneurship. What is digital entrepreneurship? Basically,\njust how it sounds, in broad terms it is\ndefined as, \u201ccreating new ventures and transforming existing businesses by\ndeveloping novel digital technologies and\/or novel usage of such technologies,\u201d\n(researchgate.net). But\nit\u2019s much deeper than just using the Internet to grow and sustain a business.\nIt\u2019s the combination of traditional business practices and the use of new age\ntechnology. This is the biggest opportunity for any entrepreneur to take on and\nbe able to succeed as they make their impact on the world. If you are not\nhopping on this train, you need to!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Impact<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

How\nmany people in your life do you know never\nuse the Internet? My guess, no one. There are almost 2 billion people that\ncurrently use and have access to the Internet today, and that\u2019s just mobile.\nThis is where everyone is, all the time, all over the world. This digital\nrevolution is the most affordable way to become an entrepreneur. Instead of\nmaking an impact locally, you can scale your business nationally, even\nglobally! Researchgate.net even states that, \u201cDigital entrepreneurship has been viewed\nas a critical pillar for economic growth, job creation and innovation by many\ncountries.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            Thanks to digital entrepreneurship, we can now\nconveniently shop for anything and even be delivered within 24 hours to us. It\nhas allowed people to be able to learn anything they want online, become\ncertified, even receive a college degree, all online. It has inspired many people\nto start their own online business. Young entrepreneurs have taken on the\nworld, creating innovative ideas to help grow our economy and everyday\nconveniences. The best part about being apart of this digital entrepreneurial\nventure, is that it is SO much more doable than the traditional ways of owning\na business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The numbers<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\ndon\u2019t have to just take our word for it. Statistics show the impact of having\nyour business digitized has. According to Entrepreneur.com, \u201cthe United States has 286.9 million internet users.\u201d and\nthat\u2019s the US ALONE. The Internet World Stats says, as of June 2016, 8 out of\n10 people are using the Internet in Asia, and the numbers have risen since. In 2017, Tecmundo states that, \u201c3 billion: approximately\n40% of the global population actively uses social media\u201d This is where your\nconsumers spend their time, this is where you want to be. Connecting with them\non a more real level, getting creative and standing out from your competition.\nDigital Information World shows us that the average person spends about 2 hours\nand 22 minutes on social media. This gives businesses more than 2 hours of FREE\nmarketing towards those consumers! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All Entrepreneurs Should Go Digital<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If\nyou own a business, and you are not online, now is the time to get on there!\nGoing digital not only allows for inexpensive start up costs, detailed\nmarketing strategies, and even faster growth to scale your business. But you\nare now capable of reaching hundreds of thousands more people than you could\never possibly do without the Internet. You can make a much bigger impact on the\nworld if you are where all of your potential consumers are. Building a larger\nnetwork of like-minded individuals and developing lasting relationships with\nconsumers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\nonline world has also given entrepreneurs the opportunity to work with and\ncollaborate with similar companies. Instead of competing against each other,\nthe integrated approach seems to be much more effective when growing your\nbusiness. You can now build a network with like-minded entrepreneurs and\ncollaborate. This brings both sides value and consumers, and more eyes on both\nof you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why is this important<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

            For\nentrepreneurs and those who want to start their own business, going digital is\nso important. As I mentioned above, this is where everyone is. It would be like\nplanning and setting up a party and forgetting to invite people. Without the\ninvite you don\u2019t get your name and face out there, sharing what you\u2019re all\nabout. No one will show up. Now I\u2019m not saying if your business is not online,\nyou will not succeed. What I am saying is that going digital is key to\nMASSIVELY grow your business. This new age has brought a lot of attention on\nauthenticity. People want to know you\u2019re a real human being, and not just some\ncheesy sales person trying to make a quick buck. Digital entrepreneurs can\nauthentically engage with their consumers every single day. Sharing live\nvideos, commenting and messaging within their niche all allows for a personal\nrelationship to be developed, which means more loyal customers. All business\nowners understand the importance of loyal customers. We now have the\nopportunity to personalize our brand with our target market. The digital age\nhas been able to create a much bigger influencer than ever before.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
