The 15-Minute Tech Setup for Your First Online Business
May 09, 2025
If you’ve been spinning in research mode, this is your reset button.
You don’t need another course. You don’t need to build a funnel.
You need a starter system that gets you online—fast.
We call it the 5-5-5 Method.
And it’s helped hundreds of first-time founders go from “I have an idea” to “I have a working business” in one afternoon.
What Is the 5-5-5 Setup?
It’s simple.
Three business essentials. Five minutes each.
Fifteen minutes, and you're visible, bookable, and ready to get paid.
✅ Part 1: Online Presence (5 Minutes)
- Set up a one-page site using Carrd or Google Sites
- Write one clear offer with a bold CTA
- Link to your calendar or contact form
💡 Skip the five-page website. Focus on clarity.
✅ Part 2: Payment Setup (5 Minutes)
- Create a Stripe or PayPal account
- Set up one payment link or product
- Test it with a friend or yourself
💡 A working payment link beats a fancy checkout you never launch.
✅ Part 3: Communication Tools (5 Minutes)
- Set up a business email via Google Workspace or Zoho
- Create a simple booking link in Calendly
- Write one short “welcome” email draft
💡 Professional presence, simplified.
Start With What You Know
You don’t have to learn new platforms right now. Use what’s most familiar—and move forward.
You can optimize later. What matters today is launching, not perfecting.
