Launch Your Online Business in a Weekend (Yes, Really!)

Read below to find out exactly how to make this happen!!

Feeling overwhelmed by the idea of starting your online business? You’re not alone! Many teachers dream of launching an online business but get stuck in the tech, strategy, and “where do I even start?!” spiral. The good news? It doesn’t have to be complicated. In fact, you can have your online business up and running in just one weekend!

This guide walks you through a simple, step-by-step weekend plan so you can launch fast, without the stress. Many of these steps you may have already even completed already!

Day 1: Set Up Your Foundation (2-3 Hours)

✅ Pick Your Business Focus – What do you want to sell? Lesson plans? A coaching program? A membership? If you’re unsure, go with what you know best and what excites you.

✅ Choose a Simple Business Name – You don’t need anything fancy—your name works just fine! Think "Smith Teaching Solutions" or "Mrs. Lopez Creates."

✅ Secure Your Domain & Email – Grab your website name on godaddy.com . You can even buy a custom domain through Canva for around $12 a year. Pro Tip: If you can afford it, set up a professional email (like hello@yourname.com).

✅ Create a One-Page Website or Landing Page – Don’t overcomplicate this! Use a simple website template or a landing page tool like ConvertKit or FloDesk to start. You can even create a landing page in Canva.

Day 2: Build & Share (3-4 Hours)

✅ Set Up Your Social Presence – Choose ONE platform to start (Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, or TikTok) and create a simple bio:

• "Helping teachers monetize their expertise online—without the tech stress!"

✅ Outline Your First Offer – Keep it simple! Start with one of these:

• A digital product (lesson plans, templates)

• A 1:1 coaching session

• A workshop or mini-course

✅ Create a Quick Marketing Plan – Post about what you offer! A quick script:“Hey teachers! Ever thought about turning your expertise into an online business? I just launched mine, and I’d love to help you too! Check out my [offer link].”

✅ Set Up a Payment Option – Use PayPal, Stripe, or ThriveCart so people can buy from you right away. You can always upgrade later, so if you already have PayPal or Venmo or CashApp, just use that.

Final Touches & Launch (1-2 Hours)

✅ Test Everything – Click your links, make sure your payment system works, and do a quick run-through of your process.

✅ Announce Your Launch! – Post on social media or send an email to let people know you’re open for business! Here’s a quick template: “Big news! I just launched my online business to help teachers [solve a problem]. If you’ve ever wanted to [desired result], check it out here: [link]. Let’s do this together!”

✅ Your Next Steps – You’ve launched—now keep the momentum going! Plan your next post, share your story, and engage with your audience.
