Generally speaking, an online business cost less than an offline business. Some online businesses can even be started with zero cost. For example, it cost zero dollars to start a print-on-demand business, dropshipping business, or affiliate marketing business. However, you might have to spend money to market your business, and depending on your sales target you might have to spend $100-$200 to advertise your online business. If you have business-related skills, you might save a lot of money, however, in absence of skills, you will have to hire professionals and cost you money.

What is the Best Online Business Model?

A lot of people want to start an online business because it does not require a lot of investment, in fact, some businesses even don’t require any investment. However, they cannot start their online business because they have difficulty choosing the right business mode.

So, what is the best way to make money online?

The best way to make money online is a method.

That does not require any investment

That is easy to create and operate

That does not require creating, manufacturing, or procuring products again and again.

Based on the aforementioned criteria, what business model is the best?

Well, selling digital products and selling print-on-demand products are the best online businesses. When you are selling digital products, you will be selling the same product again and again. When you are selling print-on-demand products, you don’t spend money on products, you design only once but you sell the product again and again.

Between digital products and print-on-demand which one is the best business model? I believe selling print-on-demand products is better because you can start this business with zero cost or small cost. If you use Amazon or Redbubble, you don’t have to spend even a penny, if you use Etsy, there is a small cost.

Creating digital products or designing Print-On-Demand products requires a lot of skills. Generating sales can be really hard.

6 Platforms For Your Online Business

If you want to start an online business, here are 5 platforms that you can try.

Etsy: This is an ecommerce marketplace for handcrafted products, print-on-demand products, and digital products. If you want to start a small and medium business this is the ideal platform.

Amazon: There is nothing that cannot be sold on Amazon, physical products, digital products, print-on-demand products, etc. Some methods are completely free, whereas some methods require you to spend some money, especially FBA.

Facebook Marketplace: This is a free platform and also one of the best methods for small and medium businesses. You can reach hundreds of thousands of customers instantly.

Instagram shop: This is also a free platform, however, you need at least 10k followers before you can open an Instagram shop. 

eBay: This is one of the most popular platforms for selling old ideas, but you can also sell new items.

Redbubble: If you want to sell print-on-demand products without spending any money, this is the ideal platform.

How to Get Your First Sale in Less than a Week

If you are a new business owner and if you are yet to make your first sale or a business owner who does not have a lot of sales, the following tips will be very helpful.

Build your audience

In order to generate sales, you need an audience. How do you build an audience? There are two methods, one, through digital marketing, and another through SEO. You will have to market your business and products on different platforms to build an audience. SEO will help you get ranked high, which ultimately builds visibility. One of the easiest ways to build an audience is by building followers on social platforms like Instagram, Tiktok, and youtube.

Put more effort into advertising and marketing

You need to inform people about your product. How do you do it? Marketing and advertising are two methods to help people find your product and learn about your products. If you have built an audience on social sites, you can start posting your products there, if you don’t have an audience, you can run ads.

Create better product listing

Packaging plays a great role in generating sales. When people are buying the product offline, they can see the product and judge it, however, if you are selling online, you need to create a visually appealing product listing. You can use Placeit.com to create a custom mock-up for your product.
