Anyone here have a successful online business?
I would love to hear your story, challenges and things you're proud of. Also how much it earns if you're happy to share!
Ok, this one will be a downer.
I started an online web store with a friend (ex-friend now, I suppose). He had a wine store and I built the online store. Everything was hunky-dory and we had first year sales of $500k. If it had worked out, I could have been making minimum of $50k/year with max. 30 minutes of work every day. The intial setup took 6 months of labor (8 hours per day).
The bad news was my partner was extremely bad at fulfulling orders. It got to such a point that sales started dropping off.
Right now,we are on a death-dive. Trying to sell the site if possible.
So, my advice to you is to pick your partner very carefully!
