Online Business Adventure

Why online?

What makes any one to think of running an online business, if you already have a good paying job?

In my opinion if your expense is more than your income and you are struggling with life and you can’t save or enjoy your life, you will defiantly start to think either to quit your current job and look for better paying job or to keep you low paying job and look for extra income.

But that is not only the case , there is a situation were you will find your self idle for long time, and this is another kind of suffering specially if you are a family man, and this I believe it’s happened to a lot of people around the world after the COVID-19 Strike the globe , which lead a lot of company to decrease their manpower or in worst cases shut down their business for once and for all.

COVID-19 lockdown changes the way that we used to look to the world of business, and people start to look for alternative ways to do business, and here comes the idea of online business.

Online businesses Options:

The first question that will come in mind is that what is online business any way, and what I can do online that will help me increase my current income or replace my current job completely.

But for sure its real world and there are real people out there who make a fortune with online business, its mater of knowing the rules, play it correctly and follow the path of successful people.

The flowing is some of the online business ideas:

• Starting a blog/website.

• Affiliate marketing.

• E-commerce store.

• Dropshiping.

• Start a YouTube channel.

• Digital Marketing.

MY Experiment So Far:

I want to share with you guys my experiment in this Digital world.

I suffer from not get paid well for a job, I was not able to save money, and enjoy the life with my family, I spent all my money, just to barley pay the bill and bring the food to the table, and more than that I used to be idle for long periods in different times.

That long idle time led to think, think, and think what the exit way from this situation is, then one day I come across and email taking about online business, to specific its was taking about the Dropshiping and E-commerce.

So, from that day, it was like I get shack in the head, and like I found a map to a hidden treasure that I didn’t know that is already exist.

After that Email, I start digging and learn more about Dropshiping, from books, articles videos and even registering to Webinars, before I decided to jump in and give it a try.

Dropshiping if you don’t know it’s as simple online store, where you will have a list of products to sell to the online users, but the amazing thing here is that you don’t own any product, its supplied to your online store from as supplier.

When an online user places an order on your store, the cost of the product goes to the supplier and you will take a small amount of profit, it’s basically is your commission of selling other people products on you own store.

In this kind of business, you are not involved in Goods storage, handling, and shipment at all, you job only is to list the products with appealing description and photos and promote your online store and drive the interesting online user to your store and push them to make an order, THAT IS IT, isn’t simple?

YAH, that what I thought also!!!

But the truth I learned the hard way, you see there is absolutely nothing wrong with drop shipping as an online business, but back there I was new to that kind of business, and I don’t know about the rules of this new world as I mention before!!!

Drop shipping is very advanced online business, that involve with many digital marketing and principles, which I was lack the knowledge about.

I was not ready for dropship Ing that time , its not a matter of sitting your shop with high profit goods with appealing photos and presentation videos , you need to know and implement niche research SEO rank, promotion, email marketing CTR,ROI, and so many factors to be successful on it.

Its was like jump with a weapon to the battlefield without to know how to use your gear!!

I spent a lot of money without any success, then I figured out that I was doing it completely the wrong way, then I make a brake, and start to learn, learn, and learn from that day on.

Final Thoughts:

This was my adventure to this new world of Digital online business, the key to success of this game is to know the rules I play it to the end, Learn, Implement, analyze continue and be without quitting.

Stay Cool
