Every day I am convined about that its better to start off a physical local business first then to start it online. I mean there might be some of you saying that no if you know what to do how to do and so so so you can make more money online.
Buttt, with physical business you also have to invest money, but not like online.

You can start online with 0$, but you will have to invest your time very long to make something out of it. You need good marketing and strong one to make good amount of money to quit your job. Without marketing you ain't doing anything to push that online business further. So basically without money you will have to invest your time for longer periods of time until it becomes and you have cash flow to outsorce some of yout work to micro workers, or invest more into ADS, M/C, MASS DM, influencer, email or whatever marketing you choose. Until you are making good cash flow its really hard to run the business online. Without a good cash it's like a drop in the ocean nothing.

I am not talking here about Affiliate marketing, SEO services, CPA, adult content or whatever other service, but I am talking to be a brand or sell on Amazon or Etsy or even the dropshipping.

As for physical business its far more easier in my mind. I can target my whole city with cheap FB ads and sell them whatever shit I want to them clothes, plus you will have a store which means free traffic as in the other hand in online businesses its far more harder to sell since you need good reviews, secured payments like Paypal and so.

For me I own an online business and its a hell of a time to deal with everything so I am looking to open a physical one also and test it out for 2024 on how it will go.
 
For me it would also be easier to have a local business. I actually was gonna open one if I didn't get the job i currently have. It would've been a pc/phone repair shop and also some hardware and small things like phone cases and so on. Since there aren't more than 2 in my city and none of them offer the same service that I would've, I'm certain I would've been fine. I will go back to that after the 3 years of learning I do rn.

Thanks! Doing this online would be a nightmare, I personally would never send my phone to be repaired because it takes ages. Just going to a store and walking out 30 minutes later is way better. I guess i could sell computers like having a few models that you can configure and then i charge a 100 for assembly and setting it up but then again It's the waiting because I would get the parts after they order so I don't need inventory and then It's gonna be a week till they get it.

Edit: I'm currently messaging businesses in my city trying to sell them websites for cheap to build a good portfolio, but that would be cooler irl too having like a cool office for it to talk about the site all professional and stuff haha.

I had a good business once back in the day (I was a part of it), a twitch view bot that made some great money ($300+ a night). But that was also a crazy investment money wise, the proxies alone were almost a grand if i remember correctly, could've never done it myself because nothing to invest. And I feel like making money to start having money to Invest online is also super frustrating and hard. Everything just takes ages... but don't take my word for it I guess there are probably a lot of people here that would laugh at me for saying that

No nobody would laugh because online either you have to make everything alone or outsource it. So when you dont have money you spend your time doing everything, but also you need marketing. You can't rely only on Tiktok organic, or Pinterest lol
 
A physical store also comes with a great deal more overheads. You will have rent, rates, electricity and other utilities, broadband, insurance and possibly licenses all to pay.

You will also have to pay for frontage and display units stock and probably possibly staff with all the headaches that brings.

You may find you have to pay a deposit and a few months rent up front and may be liable for a minimum term on the unit.

You will still need to advertise the store as it won’t be field of dreams.
 
Trust me, starting a physical business is just as hard as starting an online store. And there will be many problems encountered in the process.
