For others, business has skyrocket, hours of work have been more intense than ever, and the need for innovation and creativity to satisfy demand under the current conditions has been extraordinary. Products and services that are deem of first necessity have been at the center of every in-person and online purchase as well, but beyond these, there’s a sector that has benefited the most under this new “normal”, and it is the world of existing strong online businesses.
The “new” normal has been a long time normal for online entrepreneurs
And it is true, for many online entrepreneurs life hasn’t changed much under these new circumstances. Daily routine is the same: home office, computer screen, and virtual calls at odd hours. But for some growth has been even faster than ever. In this post we will explore the reasons behind this success so can you create a similar experience for yourself!
Now, don’t get me wrong, nothing happens overnight. Those businesses doing great these dates have been in the market, waving their flag at customers and creating value for their audience for years now, so when people started to look into services that will adjust to their current virtual reality, they were ready to serve and able to demonstrate the value they have created for others. But what it is an undeniable truth is that online businesses are here to stay! So the sooner you get in the game, the better!
In the current circumstances where social distancing and working from home is the new normal, many people rely on online solutions to satisfy their needs. The effort that many online entrepreneurs have been putting on for years has translated into astonishing growth for some. That is the case of our interviewed Angel Pretot, the creator of the French Fluency Accelerator, a language coaching program for people who want to become fluent in French, cater to their needs and learning interests that has proved a major success to his clients around the world, but also to Angel’s sustainable and scalable business model.
The success model
In part I of this interview, we explore Angel’s success model, his path, and the pivot strategies that had led him to become a super entrepreneur with a presence almost everywhere in the world. Wherever there’s someone wanting to learn French, Angel is there!
“I don’t have a single client that sits in the same country as me“.
Listen in to join Angel’s journey identifying his niche market (it really isn’t that hard!), connecting to his clients, tuning in to their needs, and designing a model that worked for his lifestyle and his financial needs.
“How do you create a human connection when you are in front of a computer? We are creating a human connection because we are seeing each other through the computer, but before you can get there, you need to […] drive traffic to your message. I do it via Social Media […] Pinterest has been a good avenue for me… and lately Youtube“.

We all want to make a difference in a way or another, don’t we?)
