Starting an Online business is somewhat easier today, with plenty of DIY resources available to everyone. But there are Pros and Cons of everything, and starting an online business too has its own pros and cons.

We will be discussing the Pros and Cons of starting an Online Business here in depth, with my experience of past 5 years.

Pros of starting an Online Business as a beginner:

  • Easy to start
  • Requires lesser capital comparatively
  • Has reach to multiple cities from the start
  • Can be done along with fulltime/part time job
  • Independence and not working under someone else

1. Easy to Start:

The best thing about online businesses, is that you get a website or app, have products to sell and you are ready to go.

Facebook provides option on personal accounts too to run ads, as simple as that.

People even are selling online through instagram pages and whatsapp.

2. Requires lesser capital comparatively:

Since online businesses can be started and operated using a pc/laptop, internet connection and products to sell, you can save much on lease/renting a office or warehouse space for the start.

One can operate it from home with no much hassle. And requires no shelves, no shops or fancy showrooms where the major chunk of money goes for offliners.

3. Reach to multiple cities from the start:

This is probably the best thing about running an online business.

In an offline business, you only reach customers of that area or at most of that city. But in case of online business, you have reach to whole country’s customer base right from the day 1.

And that improves you chances of growth and getting orders.

4. Can be done along with fulltime/part time job:

I have seen several entrepreneurs, who have not left their regular job and are doing online business with great success especially on amazon.

And this is one of those benefits that online business has to offer to their owners. Since all you have to be good at is selling online, and you hire a guy/girl for packing and labelling of orders everyday and you are done.

5. Independence and not working under someone else

Online business just like any other business provides self dependency and freedom from 9-5 hassle.

It provides a sense of independence and self sufficiency.

Cons of starting an Online Business as a beginner

  • Huge competition in the market
  • Difficult for smaller players to get orders
  • Financial stability is a myth
  • People copy your idea and end up ruining the market

1. Huge competition in the market:

With the massive growth in past decade, this segment is getting saturated. With lesser advertisement alternatives of facebook-instagram and google ads, it is becoming difficult and costlier to get orders and keeping the ROAS profitable.

2. Difficult for smaller players to get orders

If you are new with low customer base and low following, it will be difficult for you to get orders. As people don’t trust new online businesses, all thanks to scamsters who have ruined the trust factor recently.

3. Financial stability is a myth

If you are bootstrapping, you will find it difficult to manage funds enough to be able to keep business and you personal finances stable.

Better you get VC or angel investment as soon as you can get it.

4. People copy your idea and end up ruining the market

People in Indian subcontinent have a habit of copying things and not doing something new of their own.

As soon as you come up with something fresh and new, somebody will try to copy it and bring in their cheap copy of it in the market. And ultimately end up ruining the market for both.

Most of the bloggers these days monetize their blogs and wants to earn money online through Google adsense and other affiliate ads. And for getting better results (in terms of money) countries like U.S.A. and United Kingdom are known to be best for getting highest CPC. Targeting for the Country Specific website traffic is known to be a good strategy to jumpstart your blog.

In simple terms people from these countries when click your ads on your website/blog, you will be paid more as compared to clicks from other coutries.

Moreover, in case of affiliate ads also, people from US and UK buy more stuffs, since they have higher purchasing power.

Now it becomes important for us to know how we can target our blog to specific country for getting indexed more frequently in that country and getting more traffic from those countries too.

How to Target Country Specific Website Traffic

1). Buy Country Specific Domain Name

It’s better option to buy the country specific domain name for your blog or website so that search engines can automatically prefer your website in that country

Learn more about gTLDs and domain name extensions here

2). Use Geo-Targeting in Google Search Console

You can target your gTLDs (.com , .net, org) domain names to specific country’s audience using Google Search console by telling Google Search Engine to which country you are writing your content for.

Target your domain for a specific country here

This video by Google will tell you how can use Google’s Geo-Targeting for your website

3). Try Google Trends for Finding Country Specific trending topics

Google trends is best option to find out the trending topics in a particular country, which can help increase your audience from particular country, since you will be writing about what is trending and what people want to read.

4). Make content more country specific

Try to use local words and terminology along with the language of your target country. It will increase your search engine visibility as well as readability and acceptance in that country.

Since now the readers will feel more familier with the content and type of writing, which can boost up your audience base and support from that country.

5). Web Hosting Server Location

Choose your server’s location in your target country so that, your website will open more quickly in that country as compared to server located in another country.

And Search engines these days rank on the basis of site speed. And now when your website is loading faster in that country, your website will also get higher rank in the search engine results in that particular location.

You can also use SEMrush to track the country specific website audience and overview details.

I have been using Paypal from last 3-4 years for receiving online payments, and I love it for its easy to setup features, but the few things which I find annoying and made me find the Paypal alternatives are, its high transaction charges and conversion of money at its own fixed rate.

Another reason for finding Paypal alternatives is.. I am an Indian user, where due to RBI’s restrictions it doesn’t provide us complete features. For example we can not use it as a wallet for sending/receiving money to the Indian users like any other user in US.

Though it’s easy to use and easiest to setup with your website, it still have several drawbacks which always makes one think of finding an alternative to Paypal.

And when I started browsing for similar, trustworthy alternatives to it I ended up making a top 5 list of Paypal alternatives.

Best Paypal alternatives for Bloggers, Freelancers and even for SMBs

1). Payoneer

payoneer

Payoneer has emerged as the best alternative to Paypal in the recent years. It provides you with a Payoneer prepaid Mastercard for making online payments and for withdrawing your earned and received money.

Best thing is it is now available with most of the websites which previously used to offer only Paypal as option or no option at all. For example: you can use Payoneer for receiving Amazon’s affiliate money in any country where Payoneer works.

The Good:

  • Easy to setup
  • Provides best and efficient conversion of money
  • Supported by upwork for freelancers
  • Provides an option to receive Global Payments in Local bank accounts (which is the best thing)

The bad:

  • Comparatively high ATM withdrawal rates
  • Customer Service not up to the mark

Signup here with Payoneer and you can get free $25 in your account.

2). Skrill

skrill

Skrill is no doubt the best alternative to not only Paypal but also to Payoneer since its transaction rates are lowest and the best in the market for receiving and sending online payments.

It is most easy to setup, in addition it is most easiest to use too.

Signing up for Skrill is free you can sign up here

3). Stripe

stripe alternative to paypal

Stripe provides you an option to use Buy button on your website, to start receiving payments on your website just like Paypal’s buy button.

The best thing about stripe is its low transaction charges 2.9% + 30cents, which makes it one of the best paypal alternative.

The Good:

  • Low transaction charges, furthermore there is no AMC.
  • You can integrate it with most of the major ecommerce platforms like shopify
  • You can receive payments from all over the world

The Bad:

  • It is available for the merchants of US, Australia, Ireland, Canada and UK only
  • Requires programming skill to integrate (needs sandbox testing)
  • There’s a Waiting time after transaction for receiving funds

Signup with Stripe for free

4). 2Checkout

2CO or 2Checkout has emerged as one of the best paypal alternative with almost comparable transaction rates worldwide.

2checkout

It offers several currencies for transaction hence you can use it for receiving online payments from almost any part of the world.

Signup with 2Checkout for free

5). Razorpay

razorpay

Razorpay is an alternative to Paypal which in some terms is much better than Paypal.

Here are the features of Razorpay:

  1. It offers Business as well as Personal Account options just like Paypal.
  2. Is available in almost several countries
  3. It is free to setup and have no AMC just like Paypal.
  4. More importantly, it has low transaction fees.

Signup here for free with Razorpay

Conclusion:

I personally use Payoneer wherever I can in place of Paypal, since they fill up the Paypal’s gap well.

Tell us which one do you use??

एक वेबसाइट बनाना एक थकाऊ काम होने लगता है, जब तक आपको इसके बारे में अधिक जानकारी नहीं होती है कि आप इसे किस तरह से बनाना शुरू कर सकते हैं। लोग आम तौर पर अपनी वेबसाइट डिजाइन करने के लिए एक वेबसाइट डिजाइनर चुनते हैं।

हाँ, यह करना अच्छा है, फिर भी आपको यह जानना ज़रूरी है कि अपनी वेबसाइट तैयार करने के लिए बुनियादी कदम क्या हैं, ताकि आप अच्छी तरह जानते हों कि आपका डिज़ाइनर आपको किस चार्ज कर रहा है और कितना समय लगता है ।

या, यदि आप अपनी वेबसाइट को खुद तैयार करने के लिए तैयार हैं, इसे पढ़ने के बाद आपको पता चल जाएगा कि इस प्रक्रिया को कैसे शुरू किया जाए ।

खुद से वेबसाइट कैसे बनाएं? ( how to build a website? )

चरण 1:

आपका पहला कदम जो आपको करना है, वह अपनी पसंद का डोमेन नाम जानने के लिए है जो आपके ब्लॉग / व्यवसाय के लिए सबसे उपयुक्त है।

चरण 2:

दूसरा कदम यह सुनिश्चित करना है कि आपका डोमेन नाम एक वेब होस्टिंग खाते की तरफ इशारा कर रहा है। वेब होस्टिंग आपकी आवश्यकता के अनुसार ली जानी चाहिए।

उदाहरण के लिए:

  • लिनक्स / विंडोज साझा वेब होस्टिंग ( Linux/Windows Shared Web hosting ) – अगर आपको लगता है कि आपकी वेबसाइट को शुरुआत से ही भारी ट्रैफिक नहीं होने दिया जाएगा
  • क्लाउड आधारित वेब होस्टिंग ( Cloud based web Hosting  ) – उच्च और परिवर्तनीय यातायात वाली वेबसाइटों के लिए उपयुक्त (ज्यादातर ब्लॉग और ई-वाणिज्य वेबसाइट।)
  • वर्चुअल प्राइवेट सर्वर ( Virtual Private Server ) – भारी ट्रैफिक प्राप्त करने वाले वेबसाइटों के लिए यह अच्छा है
  • समर्पित / प्रबंधित सर्वर ( Dedicated/ Managed Server ) – समर्पित सर्वर बड़े यातायात को संभालने के लिए होते हैं, ई-कॉमर्स पूरी तरह से काम करने वाले वेबसाइटों के लिए सर्वश्रेष्ठ।

Itsmydomain शुरुआती लोगों के लिए एक बढ़िया विकल्प है, क्योंकि यह आपको सबसे बुनियादी वेब होस्टिंग योजना से शुरू करने का विकल्प देता है और फिर किसी भी समय आवश्यकताओं के अनुसार उच्च योजनाओं में अपग्रेड करता है।

चरण 3: अपनी वेबसाइट के निर्माण के लिए सही ढांचा चुनें

  1. Weebly के DIY का उपयोग करें (Do It Yourself) वेबसाइट बिल्डर:
    Weebly आपको अपनी वेबसाइट को DIY वेबसाइट बिल्डर के साथ बनाने का सबसे आसान तरीका प्रदान करता है, इसके लिए वेब डिजाइनिंग कौशल, कोई कोडिंग और कोई थकाऊ दिखने वाले काम की आवश्यकता नहीं है। आपको बस इतना करना है कि सिर्फ 1500+ themes में से कोई थीम चुनें और फिर drag and drop करें।

2. Impressly वेबसाइट बिल्डर का उपयोग करें: वेबसाइट की तरह एक ऐप जल्दी बनाएं! बाजार में नवीनतम तकनीक का उपयोग करके, सोशल मीडिया सामग्री का उपयोग करें या अपनी साइट को सेटअप करने के लिए scratch से शुरू करें।

3. WordPress/ Joomla जैसे CMS का प्रयोग करें: यदि आपके पास कुछ तकनीकी ज्ञान हैं तो आप WordPress को अपनी वेबसाइट बनाने के लिए विकल्प चुन सकते हैं। यदि आपके पास डोमेन के साथ वेब होस्टिंग plan है, तो आप आसानी से अपनी खुद की वेबसाइट का निर्माण शुरू कर सकते हैं।

चरण 4:

वेबसाइट को सफलतापूर्वक डिजाइन करने के बाद वेबसाइट को वेब होस्टिंग खाते में अपलोड करें और आपकी वेबसाइट उपयोग करने के लिए तैयार है।

देखा? यह उतनी कठिन नहीं.. शेयर करें  फेसबुक और ट्विटर में..

Shopify offers a wide range of paid and free apps to start a successful dropshipping business, but it takes hours to choose the right ones out of them for your store.

After reading this article you’d have saved at least half of those hours you would have been spending on app research.

Shopify’s app store has apps related to every other site functionality you are looking for your store, whether it is social media marketing, push notifications, apps for collecting customer reviews and so on..

So let’s not waste much of time and get going with the list you came looking for..

Free shopify apps to start a successful dropshipping business:

1. Trust Hero – Trust Badges

Before starting an online store the first thing that you should focus on is customer’s trust. And that builds up with additional security features & payment options that you offer to your customers on your website and promising them a secure transaction with a Trust Badge.

And the Trust Hero- Trust Badge can help you achieve that. What this app does is it will create and display payment badges on your product pages, so that your site visitors feel more assured that their information and transactions are well protected.

And this is the most basic thing that most of the dropshippers lack these days, as they are unaware of the fact that people can’t pay you for whatever you are selling until they trust you. Building trust and faith is the foremost principle of running a successful dropshipping shopify store.

2. Product Reviews

source-Shopify

Product reviews are not the second step, but the second most important thing to keep in mind for running a successful dropshipping business on Shopify.

What most of the sellers and dropshippers don’t understand while selling stuffs online is.. people are buying online just looking at the product image, reading description and bit of trust on your site. But there’s one more thing that affects the buying pattern most is customer reviews on the product.

According to an eMarketer report around 98% potential customers or site users look at them and consider them before they make a buying decision.

Using this app you can encourage your buyers for a feedback which subsequently will help build more trust and prove usability of your product by adding customer reviews to your products.

3. Oberlo

Oberlo is the goldmine for the dropshippers. This single app will provide you with all the dropshipping suppliers to source the products you wanted to sell and when you get an order you can fulfill it directly through your supplier through Oberlo.

Oberlo is the key to the success of any dropshipping store running on Shopify.

4. Kit

There are several ideas out there waiting to be converted into successful online business ventures. But most of the ideas remain untapped, just because people don’t know how to start an online business when they have no technical skill but just an idea.

Most of the people lack technical skills and they either end up wasting time gaining skills or they don’t start it at all.

I often meet people who come up with awesome business ideas, but they lack technical skills. And what I suggest them every time, is what I am gonna tell my blog readers today.

I have a habit of updating my knowledge about latest technology advancements and service providers around the world that are literally changing the way of doing business.

And I am going to tell you, what are your options if you have an idea to start a business (especially online business) but you do not know how to start it.

How to Start an Online Business if you do not have any technical skill ?

The broader answer to this question is to go with ecommerce platforms to get your store online.

Ecommerce platforms basically provide you all the necessary services required to start an online store, like ecommerce website, ssl certificates, payment collection system or payment gateways, shipping solutions and store management software etc.

And these platforms resolves your problem of setting up an online store and helps you throughout to create business and turn your idea into successful venture.

There are plenty of ecommerce platforms out there. like shopifybigcommerceshopio, kartrocket, storehippo and several others like them.

But before I tell you which one is better for your business, let me first guide you step by step about the things required to start an online business, if one does not choose to go with any ecommerce platform.

Step 1: You need to buy a domain name or simply we call it a website name (www.forexample.com)

Step 2: Need to buy a web hosting plan suitable as per your business requirement

Step 3: Find a web developer to build an online store for you, which costs $20/hr to $100/hr

Step 4: Need to find payment gateway solution to start collecting online payments on your website

Step 5: Finalize products/services and a proper methodalogy to start selling them online

Step 6: Find a way to deliver product or services on time, through proper channel

Step 7: Finalize methods to market and SEOs/SEM your brand

And these are the things which these ecommerce platforms provide you in one go and for better prices per month, that too with customer support and business creation tips.

Now is the time to tell you which one is cheaper and which one is better overall

Which is the best ecommerce platform to start an online venture ?

The cheapest among all is Shopio, whose prices starts from $19.95/mo. And you can start your trial for 14 days for free with them.

The Second option among these is Shopify, whose prices start from $29/mo and have similar 14 days free trial option.

Rest of them are costlier than these two, and for providing similar services, so I am not even trying to tell you why you should choose them.

Among Shopio and Shopify, the more sensible plans are of Shopio, since they just offer you, what is all required at particular stage of business as per their pricing-plan divisions and not just brag about offering something for unlimited.

Also, I found Shopio more simpler and easy to use as compared to shopify.

On the other hand Shopify has more themes and plugins available, so you can customize your webstore with more options.

Still I would suggest you to go with Shopio, since it is much easier and better for starting an online store for beginners and people who have lesser knowledge of store creation. In addition to that, you will be paying lesser amount per month, which is an essential thing for a startup to cut cost.
