Step One: The Surprisingly Simple Process To Research, Validate, And Choose The Perfect Online Business Idea

Coming up with a valid business idea can be a sticking point for many COPreneurs. Today, I want to speak directly to the portion of the audience here that maybe hasn't yet come up with a business idea. Maybe you are in law enforcement right now, you're still on the job. And you're looking at things and saying, "You know what, maybe I need to look at what my options are and look at starting a new business. Maybe it could be an online business."

And if that's where you're at today, you're thinking about starting an online business, or maybe you already have an idea for an online business, and you want to know just how to validate that idea and what the next steps are, then this episode is for you. Listen in as my guest Jake Lang, and I talk about how to come up with a great business idea, and then how to validate it.

About Jake Lang

My name is Jake Lang. In December 2014, I started my first online business. Since 2017, I have started more than five online businesses and generated more than $160,000 in passive income from my online business ventures.

I've learned what is necessary to start a successful online business that generates thousands of dollars in recurring passive income each month.

In the summer of 2015, I founded AssociatePI, my most successful website that generates an average of $5,000 in passive income each month selling online courses in the insurance industry. 

I’ve since invested my time elsewhere starting small niche sites including the Pomsky Owners Association, a membership site for the Pomsky Dog Breed now generating approximately $1,000 per month through membership fees, AliExpress drop shipping, and a top-selling self-published book on Amazon.

I’ve done all of this on the side while working a 9 – 5 job during the day. I never spend more than three hours per day working on my online businesses.

With this experience, it is now my mission to help new entrepreneurs start and scale their online businesses.  If I can build these businesses and generate over $160,000 in revenue in less than 3 hours per day (and no work on weekends), you can too.
