Take a look at this business opportunity

Everyday opportunities and trends emerge. Each week, I analyze these trends to see how to create profitable businesses quickly.

Here is one of them.

Share your feedback with me, I will be a happy man.

Signal

SMS is back in force. Long decried, it is coming back in force.The multiplication of communication channels for years is so important (email, newsletter, social networks, private community ...) that we return to the basis of the first rapid exchanges that the modern era has known.

To be effective, it must be well used, not spammed, and bring value to the recipient.

‍

Some figures

With an opening rate of 98%, SMS is the best communication channel.

During the pandemic, U.S. youth preferred to interact by text (83%) than by phone (72%).

Text remains the preferred method of exchange.

The Opportunities

There are many opportunities to exploit in No-Code with SMS in these sectors:

E-commerce
Micro Course
Gift by sms
Marketing content for brands
Animate a community

The startups to develop around this trend are huge and several have already raised funds.

Arist : Microcourse by sms >> $2.1M in funds raised
Superphone : SMS Marketing for brands >> $8.3M in funds raised

Use cases to be consulted here

Together we will exploit several ideas to develop in no-code.

Following this trend, you can launch courses by SMS or sell products by SMS.

You have understood that with SMS, the possibilities are endless and in the Garage Studio, we will exploit several.

‍

Problem

Online courses are long to follow, the format is often too long and with a lot of useless content.

Learning applications are just another application on our smartphones that we never open.

People don't have time and want to consume quick learning that they can apply quickly.

‍

Target Market

The customers

Young people can be your main target but depending on the niche you choose.

For example, if you want to sell a plan to learn yoga. You might be targeting an age group between 30 and 35.

‍

Business Idea

Micro course (choose your niche course)

‍You will have to be fun and make your learners progress step by step.

The difficulty will be to create course content and impact.

Practicing to write the content of 280, like on Twitter is a good exercise.

With no-code tools, you can automate the sending of micro-courses.

We'll see that below.

I'm going to build a course to create a side business in no-code in 30 days.

Step 1: Build your course

Which course topic to choose?

Choose a subject that you are passionate about or that you know something about.

‍

How to build your course?

1 - Create a 30-step plan for your course

For me it would be :1 - Find a business idea

2 - Validate the business idea

3 - Test the idea

4 - ...

Builds the plan so that each step follows a progression process to reach the final goal.

Here, building a side project without code.

‍

2 - Writes each module of the course

A step is a module.

A module is a text message that the learner will receive.

You will have to practice writing short sentences, Use Twitter to practice.

Each SMS must be short and incite your learner to action.

My advice: Use bullets point and insert a link to additional content.

‍

Example:

Step 1 : Find your business idea

Open your google doc and Answer the following questions.

Identify the talents and skills you’re good at.
Out of the above talents and skills, what do you enjoy doing most?
Of those talents and skills you enjoy, what do people need?
From the above needs, what will people pay money for?

‍

3 - Test and validate your course

Choose 5 to 10 people.

For example, 5 people from your entourage to start with and 5 others unknown.

Send them your course for free and ask them to give you feedback as objectively as possible.
Ask them if they learned anything.
If they would be willing to pay for the course.
You can collect the answers through a questionnaire or face to face.

If you don't get 80% positive feedback, ask them what is wrong and what should be improved.

‍

‍Gumroad (it's free)
