What are the ideas for starting an online business?
These days, there are many lucrative options to start an online business. My personal favorite is digital products. Digital products are easy to create and sell, plus they do not require much investment and there’s no overhead. Of course, not everyone is a fan of the time spent coming up with a product and would rather offer a service or sell somebody else’s products. But there are many ways to skin the online business cat. Let’s explore!

Here’s a list of a few ideas off the top of my head. You can develop skills for each of the following options with very little effort. What really matters is a willingness to learn.If you want any more info on any of these, just let me know.
1) Social Media Manager
2) E-commerce Retailer
3) Web Development
4) SEO Consultant
5) Blogger
6) Virtual Assistant
7) Affiliate Marketer
8) Online Tutor
9) Content Writing
Each of these has their pros and cons and will appeal to different people in different stages of their journey as an entrepreneur. Besides these, there are a plethora of options. Remember, I said my personal favorite is digital products.
Digital products include a vast range of products such as online courses, ebooks, logos, audio, video, etc. A lot of people need digital products for a variety of reasons, and so it’s an increasingly busy and competitive market. That doesn’t have to be a bad thing, though. It just means that you need a holistic idea and promotion planning method like what the Rhodes Brothers teach in Perfect Product Creation (PPC).
If you are interested, you can read my review of the PPC course on my website. You can also explore the Knowledge Base section on my website for more advice about digital product businesses.
In conclusion, you can start any online business out of the suggested options in this answer and start working for yourself. Even if you have some other concept in your mind, take lessons from others who have succeeded in the exact same market.

Good Luck!
