Small Business: How can I start an online business?
JA

Johnny Amicci, eCommerce, Youtuber, Side Hustles answered:

I've been running online businesses since 2011. Everything from selling eBooks and Digital Products to selling on platforms like eBay, Amazon, and Etsy to running my own wholesale business and eCommerce shop.

When you say you want to start an online business, do you have any idea what type of business you want to start? Is there a service you want to offer? Is there a product you want to sell?

Your question as asked is a little bit vague as there's so many different ways one could get into running an online business.

Assuming you mean eCommerce I would look to what products your country produces domestically. I don't know a ton about Egypt but I believe sheets, scarves and other textiles are high quality and I imagine cheaper than in many other parts of the world. I would begin to look into this for starters.

Can you elaborate more on what type of business you'd like to start?
