I’m going to start with a bit of a controversial statement (as I’m quite prone to do): –

Starting a business, online (or offline) is NOT for everyone and may actually NOT be for YOU.

If you are looking to work for yourself and start a business, you may be the best carpenter, painter, mechanic, salesman, etc BUT it may not be for you: if you do not have or acquire certain traits, skills and experience, you will probably fail ( you might end up owing a lot of money!) and being an employee is probably better for you: especially if you prefer:-

regular hours,

regular payment,

regular vacation,

gold sick pay

they are downpour of risk,

They lack willpower and stamina.

Being self-employed and starting a business is definitely NOT a job. You have to ask yourself if starting and (hopefully) running a viable and successful business is for YOU, and no one else.

This is exactly the same for an online business, maybe more so. Simply setting up a website for your offline business is definitely NOT classified as running an online business. there are details that need to be addressed:-

Is not easy

take time

It takes MONEY (maybe not a lot at first, but it does cost if done right!)

NOT a ‘get rich quick’ solution

You will need to LEARN and develop a new set of skills and become comfortable with marketing.

An understanding of computers will be required and you must be willing to learn

Compared to a ‘traditional’ offline business, an online business can be very profitable as a start-up. So… What do YOU ​​consider as an Online business?

Many people have found many ways to run a successful (profitable?) online business. I have personally made a decent living selling items and information on a ‘popular’ auction site, but the methods I have learned are just a few. I am currently still looking to learn another methodology and processes.

As an example, please ‘Google’ (funny how this has become a ‘verb’!) or put in your search engine ‘make money online’ – at the time of writing this gives 165 million results, so So there are many ways (some good, some not so!) to earn money online. Take a good look around you and see how big the online business is and how vast the number of opportunities is. The only thing I recommend is NOT to buy anything before you’ve had a good look – there are a lot of scams and totally useless products/programs out there – so Caveat Emptor: – ‘Buyer Beware’!

I want you to understand the variety of opportunities out there and that what may be right for some people may not be right for others.

However, looking at things from a positive angle, I think that the positive points of an online business are:

Anyone can start and run a business, without restrictions on age, race, gender, education, privilege

No commuting or having to get up and prepare for an early or late start

You are working for yourself, not as a wage slave for an ungrateful boss/company
