how to start a small business?
-
Hi there,
Do you have any specific questions regarding making your small business? We will be able to give more detailed assistance if you give specific questions.
If not, there are some steps outlined below that may help you get started.Once you’ve made a domain name and started your website, there will be a list of steps (including customising your home page) on the My Home page to do with setting up your website.
If you want to edit what’s written on a page, go to My Site > Site > Pages and select the page you want to edit.
There’s a support post on this: https://wordpress.com/support/pages/#edit-a-page
If you want to go to the Customiser, you can go to My Site > Design > Customise.
The support post about customising your website is https://wordpress.com/support/customize/.
You can also check out video tutorials on customisation at https://wordpress.com/support/video-tutorials/customize-your-site/If you’re not sure whether audiences will find your site interesting, one idea might be to set your site to Private, give access to it to people you know who have a WordPress account, and ask for their feedback. (You can still do this if your site is Public, obviously, but if you’re not quite ready for that yet you can give certain people access to your Private site.)
One way to get more traffic (to a site set to Public) is by using keywords, adding tags and posting regularly. You can check out the support posts on this:

If you want to learn more about upgrading your plan, you can head to My Site > Plans or read the support post at https://wordpress.com/support/plan-features/.
