What helps you to do well with your online business. I have thought about doing things for etsy and for ebay. But it is hard trying to find what is the right direction to go in. Trying to figure out what will sell and how to find those products. Please share your experience. I would like to hear what helps you to do well with your business.

I have dreamed of starting my own online business but the sets to do so are a bit foggy at the moment for me. I would love to create products and sell them, but then comes the responsibility and fact that you must have a little money to start making a good income to start off the business. With kids, I find my extra time wrapped up in them, as they are the center of everything i do! I love them and want to give them the best life possible. I knoe that love is the number one importance of that, but money helps to. Better yet, an income pouring in from something I love to do as well. It's not all about the money of course, but it does help to put them through college! Owning my own business would make me feel a sence of completeness. This is why I want to complete med school and own my own private practice. As far as an online business, I would love to sell art and jewerly. These are my hopes for the future!

I know exactly what you are saying. I have been recently trying to sell items on ebay. So I have had to buy things and try to sell them to make a fair profit. It's a little risky because sometimes it's hard to know what exactly to try out. But I'm giving it ago.But I'm having the same trouble. I need to have a little more money in order to buy products. I hope that you will be able to reach all the goals that you have for yourself and your family. I too hope that I will be able to have a steady income coming in to where I'm able to spend more time with my family.

Yeah I agree with you. Do you have any ideas of the best way to find legitimate suppliers. So far I haven't been able to find a supplier yet. I want to make sure the one I have is a good one. Thanks for your suggestion. I appreciate it.

Yes, finding the right niche is a difficult task. Nor affiliate marketing nor MLM's are my thing either, which I discovered after over 7 years trying to make money with :) My thing is the passive income industry where I invest (or simply put in) money to earn more. Currently it really seems to be working with my first two business I joined in this industry. Hope you can manage and find a great niche to work with ;)

Wow you spent a lot of time trying to make money with those. Well that does encourage me to at least keep trying to find something that works. I have only been working online for a little over a year.I'm glad that your investing is working out for you. I'm trying to work on selling things on ebay. If I can find the right type of items to sell that would be really helpful. But then there is the investing in the sense that I have to pay for products and hope that I can sell them and make a fair profit. I will keep working at it. Thanks for sharing your thoughts with me. I appreciate it.
