The Effective Way To Build An Online Business 

Meet The Author , Daphnee Lagredelle

Daphnee Lagredelle was inspired to write The Effective Way to Build an Online Business by her own journey as a social worker turned entrepreneur—and by the countless women she mentored who felt overwhelmed, underprepared, and unsure how to start a business with limited resources. She noticed a recurring pattern: women of color, especially from low-income backgrounds or service professions like social work, had powerful skills and ideas but lacked clear guidance on how to structure a business, legally protect it, build business credit, or generate consistent income. Many were juggling motherhood, 9-to-5 jobs, and burnout while trying to launch side hustles. Daphnee wanted to simplify the process and demystify business ownership for people who often feel excluded from traditional entrepreneurship circles. Her book is a response to questions she heard over and over: “Where do I start?” “How do I turn my idea into income?” “How do I build business credit if I have no personal credit?” She wrote it as a blueprint—one that would offer not just information, but empowerment. By sharing the same systems and strategies she used to go from side hustler to six-figure business owner, she hopes readers will feel confident building online businesses with structure, strategy, and vision. Her ultimate goal: To help readers stop second-guessing themselves and start walking in purpose—with a business they can build, grow, and pass on.
