Key Issues to Consider When Starting an Online Business
Before starting your online business there are several issues to consider. For example, what are you going to sell? Remember, you are not in business, unless there is something to sell. In this episode of My Biz Dream Team: Opportunity Wednesday Training Series we talk about (1) selling information products; (2) teaching online courses; and (3) affiliate marketing. These are only three of the ways to make money with an online business. You can also sell physical products. There are entire courses dedicated to that subject. If you are interested in selling physical products, contact us to discuss the various options.
One of the most important issue that you must address, is whether this is a hobby for you or a business? If starting an online business is a “business” for you, then you must sure that you set it up and run it like a business. With any business, there are certain legal and regulatory matters that you must address. Those matters will be addressed in future podcast episodes and articles.
