Virtually anything is a good business idea once executed properly. I think anything can be grown or built if done right, with persistence and that includes Online Business.
So, let’s distill it down; what doesn’t make an online business a good one?
- High startup costs
- Limited opportunity for growth
- The idea doesn’t solve a problem or provide value
Think starting an online business is easy? It’s not. It’s extremely hard. But it’s totally worth it in the end.
There’s a common misconception that an online business is easy because they cost basically nothing to start.
Well, no cost means a ton of competition. Online businesses are pretty straightforward if you think about it.
Solve a problem and promote it. Rinse and repeat.
Want some motivation to finally start that online business? Or branch into a new one?
