Is starting an online business right for me?
I don't want to be miserable, and hate
office-politics. I also cringe at waking
up early every day at 6 am, driving
through an hour of traffic to get to a job
I hate; What's worse is: companies
pay only half of what you need to live on.
Like I've said many times: the
only jobs that make me happy
are Coffee-Bean, Petco, Florists,
or maybe a Library-technician.
None of those pay enough to live on,
so maybe I should work from home, online?

I have been selling online since 2004. My largest recommendations are to take baby steps and don't get too big too fast.

I guess you aren't planning to sell shoes or jewelry, but those posts will help you understand if an online business is something you'd like to deal with.

And just what marketable skills do you possess that someone might be willing to pay for? My guess is none. You also have to be very motivated to work alone at home where there are so many distractions. Online jobs tend to be of the customer service or data processing variety and have their own pitfalls.

Only you can decide what's right for you. Do extensive research first, and don't give up your day job unless/until you have your business up and running. Good luck!

What unique goods or services would you provide? If there ain't any, then starting a business isn't right for you.
