According to surveys most of online business collapse or down due to sustainability and stability also more or less because of interest of the owner to continue it.

The first and foremost step is the Motivation. I have seen a number of people who were very enthusiastic about starting an online business but when the response doesn’t come as expected, their motivation fizzle out. And the business starts to convert into a boarding task. So make sure that you are really serious about starting an online business. Online business requires a lot of hard work and effort like any other business. Mostly people read success stories of online entrepreneur in newspapers or internet and decide to start their online business irrespective of the interest and understanding hard work. They read guide to start online business etc. Contrary to the popular beliefs, the investment required to setup an online business is much much less than the offline business. Just you need a working internet connection. This is another factor which is attracting a number of young entrepreneurs to at least try out their idea online.
Prove yourself and be competent: The competition is cut throat in this hugely competitive world. We can see this in the online scenario also. A simple Google search for any product would list at least 100,000 sellers and marketers. A lot of skill, dedication and hard work are also required for this kind of venture. You need to do lots of hard work and maintain the quality of service for your business. Only then you can be in the upper position from those 100,000 sellers and marketers.
Once you have decided to start your business, there are a number of products and services in which you can deal in. The business idea is another driving factor. There is no point dwelling those fields which are highly competitive as it would require a lot of time and investment in order to excel in that field. Instead, look for those plans and ideas which are innovative and simple. We see today, a number of startups and other companies are focusing on the simple life problems and situations. There are a number of mobile development companies which develop apps for the specific life situations like first aid, traffic jams, etc. This would not only establish your business firmly but it would also help in marketing and promotion of your app.
Freelancing is another attractive business idea where you work on your terms and conditions. One of the main advantages of running an online business is that you can work at your will and terms. There is no need to report to the office or workplace. You can take holidays according to your convenience and even try to complete the work on holidays. You can maintain your team right from the comforts of your home. You are your boss of your destiny. There is no age limit and anyone can start the freelancing. However, I would recommend consulting an accountant or finding a good w-4 calc to figure out any implications your new income might encounter. Affiliate Marketing is another attractive option where you have to sell the products of the seller which are affiliates of the network. Based on the sales made, you would be paid a commission for every sale you have converted.Last but not the least is to remain motivated. This is one of the main reasons for the failure of any business venture. The feedback must also be taken from your customer so that you can improve upon your product or service so that you can serve them better in the future.
