Starting an online business has become increasingly popular in recent years, with the rise of digital connectivity and the convenience of working from anywhere. Whether you’re looking to earn some extra income or want to build a full-time career, there are a variety of online business ideas to consider. To help you get started, we’ve compiled a list of 11 best online business ideas, based on real experience and success stories.
1. E-commerce Store: Setting up an online store and selling products has become one of the most popular online business ideas. You can either sell your own products or source products from suppliers and dropship them to customers.
2. Digital Marketing Agency: If you have expertise in digital marketing, you can start your own agency and offer services such as social media management, search engine optimization, and content creation to businesses looking to improve their online presence.
3. Online Coaching/Consulting: If you have knowledge or experience in a particular industry, you can offer coaching or consulting services online. This could include anything from business coaching to wellness coaching.
4. Freelance Writing: If writing is your passion, you can start a freelance writing business and offer your services to businesses and individuals in need of content for their websites, blogs, and marketing materials.
5. Online Course Creation: Creating and selling online courses has become a popular online business idea. If you have expertise in a particular subject, you can create and sell courses on platforms like Udemy or Teachable.
6. Virtual Assistant: Many businesses are in need of virtual assistants to help with tasks such as email management, scheduling, and customer service. If you’re organized and have good communication skills, this could be a great online business idea for you.
7. Affiliate Marketing: Affiliate marketing involves promoting products and earning a commission for every sale that is made through your unique affiliate link. This can be a lucrative online business idea if you have a strong understanding of digital marketing and can attract a large audience.
8. Online Event Planning: With the rise of virtual events, there is a growing need for online event planners to help businesses and individuals organize and manage their virtual gatherings.

10. E-book Author: Writing and self-publishing e-books is a great way to generate passive income. If you have expertise in a particular subject or a compelling story to tell, consider writing and selling e-books on platforms like Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing.
11. Social Media Management: Many businesses struggle to manage their social media presence, which is where social media managers come in. If you’re adept at navigating various social media platforms and creating engaging content, consider starting a social media management business.
These online business ideas are not only based on real experiences, but they are also highly scalable and have the potential to offer significant income opportunities. However, like any business venture, they require hard work, dedication, and continuous learning to achieve success. As you consider starting your own online business, take the time to research your chosen niche, develop a solid business plan, and stay focused on providing value to your customers. With the right approach, you can turn your online business idea into a successful and rewarding venture.

Real estate in emerging markets is a great way to make money in another country. Yeah it doesn't necessarily mean you can be super mobile but it gets you out of your home country and for $1100 per sq meter in some places it's not the worst idea.

Hi Andrew, I just stumbled on your videos. Last night I watched over 3 hours of your clips and I must say you really share your ideas with such simplicity. I recommended a friend in the Philippines to watch who wishes to start a business but don't know how. Great work.
I would like to start a business for tax relief from USA over 55 year old female. Podcast? Or is that played out?
Great videos, been watching for a while. Question: Can you do a video about other countries (non US) that will take Americans in their military, then give them free education and/or lead to residency or citizenship in that country? Lot of conservative kids normally joint the military to take a break/see the world, before continuing their education or to get training for their future…..
Wish this video was more succinct. Lots of rambling.
Patrick, you never fail to teach me something and I want you to know that I appreciate it. Thank you.

What SaaS hasn't been written already?
Would love to see an update, given the current world situation. I am certainly into being Freelance. I have been freelance in the physical world. So now my goal is to be freelance in the digital world, so I can be location independent.

I went off shore started a small bank it went from $100,250,000 USD to $3,900,000,000 USD in 19.5 months. I used information I learned by Living in Switzerland over an 18 month. I want to Estate Planning school in 1972 given by Woodman Accident and Life in Lincoln Nebraska. I was number one in my class. I tryed to barrow $5,000,000,000 and the day we wend to close on the loan the US Dollar took a large dip aginst the Swiss Franc. And the loan was turned down. It was all most
Would $5k in a Panama bank and a spouse's LLC help with a residence visa in Panama?
Your channel has continued to give me invaluable information and I'm truly grateful for your insight and expertise. Thank you and please keep up the great content. You are providing as service that is definitely appreciated to many who follow your work.
This is exactly the video I needed to hear. Thank you, Andrew.
Really liked this thanks. The best tip right at the end I think.
Maybe I'll start a consulting business for 4 and 5 figure entrepreneurs who want to escape tyranny. Nah, there's probably no money in that. I could start a nonprofit and get grants to help "refugees."
Awesome video..
Do a update for 2021.
The only people making money these days are masters of the "suckers market".
10:30 SAAS = recurring revenue model
12:00 It's better to be a business in many cases, than to be a freelancer, if your goal is tax optimization
14:40 Trading businesses — its a certain type of people who's cut out for them. Entrepreneurs/visionaries don't have the patience to be so analytical every single day like that
16:30 What you need is a stream of income — something that's scalable, that's reliable
is house sitting really a thing? hear these stories about the person landing some sitting gig where they, for example, would be responsible for watching the owners vacation home in Aspen,ect for 6 months and the get to live rent free. since some areas an empty house attracts squatters, thief, and vandals, so its beneficial to have a trustworthy person occupying the house.
if you can, own real estate
Thank you so much for your amazing videos
Hi Andrew,
Is there any way we can have a talk sometime ?
Warm Regards.
So I cant move to mexico with my adult tube site?
hello thankyou for sharing your knowledge,
i learn so much from your videos 🙂
thinking of starting an online business and am wondering which country would be best to incorporate the project in..
diving into your website after submitting this comment :))))
The most important point I take from this video: have a personal advisor who will hold you accountable to your plan. The rest of the video all great but I feel having the “active” advising is what will take you next level.
Great list! I would add one thing: newsletters/articles. Lot of people making significant incomes publishing either on their own sites or with third parties such as Substack. If you having a email mailing list through your own site, that's also a good market to which you can offer other products/services.
Coaches who coach coaches on how to be coaches LOL!!
Hi Andrew, I have been a service provider as an accountant in Australia for the past 13 years. It has not always been successful because of kidney health battles but I have stumbled across two contracts from one client in your original home country USA, and one in UK, I can complete online from my home and office in Australia. It can be done, it just takes time and there is definitely a need to have a good team around you both virtually and in real life. As long as I have an internet connection that is good – no dramas.
