7 Business Ideas to Avoid Starting Online in 2020!




In today’s digital age, starting an online business seems like a lucrative and convenient option. However, not all online business ideas are guaranteed to succeed. In fact, there are several business ideas that are simply not feasible in 2020. Here are the 7 worst online business ideas to start in 2020:

1. Dropshipping: While dropshipping has been a popular business model in the past, it is increasingly becoming saturated with competition. With low-profit margins and a reliance on third-party suppliers, dropshipping is not a viable option for aspiring entrepreneurs.

2. Print-on-Demand Products: With the rise of print-on-demand services, the market has become oversaturated with similar products. It’s difficult to stand out among the crowd and make a substantial profit in this industry.

3. Multi-Level Marketing (MLM): MLM or pyramid schemes have a negative reputation and are often associated with unethical business practices. It’s best to avoid getting involved in such business models to prevent potential legal and financial troubles.

4. E-Books and Online Courses: While e-books and online courses can be successful, the market is inundated with low-quality content. To succeed in this industry, one needs to have a strong brand and appealing content, which can be challenging for new business owners.

5. Online Surveys and Task Jobs: Many people turn to online surveys and task jobs as a quick way to make money. However, the pay is usually minimal, and the work can be inconsistent, making it a poor choice for a sustainable online business.

6. Social Media Influencer: Becoming a social media influencer may seem attractive, but it often requires a substantial following and consistent engagement to generate income. With the market being oversaturated, it is increasingly difficult to differentiate oneself and stand out.

7. Online Gambling and Betting: Online gambling and betting are highly regulated industries, and the risk of legal implications is high. Additionally, with the prevalence of gambling addiction, it’s not a morally sound business idea.

In conclusion, while there are countless opportunities to start an online business, it’s important to carefully evaluate the market and the potential for success. The aforementioned business ideas are not recommended for aspiring entrepreneurs due to their saturation, low-profit potential, or ethical concerns. Instead, it’s best to explore innovative and disruptive ideas in order to create a successful online venture in 2020.

    Never with bit coin , all retail brokers have market makers these days, which they trade against your trade, surly will loose the trade, also they will not send you trade to exchange , but hold inside and trade against you.

    Frankilin is right that it's not a good idea to start Amazon FBA. I do it, and during non-pandemic times, it's great. But for a while they were not letting me ship in my non-essentials. They have have now lifted that ban, and I can send in alot of items, but customers can no longer expect 2 day shipping, which means payments to us sellers gets severely delayed.

    Hi Franklin, given that many companies are reducing or eliminating their advertising spend in these times, do you find that the big platforms such as Facebook, YouTube, have recently lowered their advertising costs at all as a result?

    Franklin, I have an existing blog about men's personal development. Would the training apply well to this or is the training more for smaller niches?

    Building e-shops and e commerce beginner consultancy is actually huge in my area, coz everyone is desperate to get online while their physical shops are closed.

    Hi Franklin, I'm a little confused. I have watched many many of your videos and some of them suggest you don't need a website for affiliate marketing and some videos say you do. If we have a website, then it seems we need to have a funnel page, landing page to capture emails, etc. But the conversion rates are higher and you can be more successful. That is where I get tripped up and discouraged because both of those important steps you mention require spending money to a subscription. I'd like to know if you can have a website but not go through the trouble of having a funnel and landing page. Id' appreciate your thoughts in a quick reply. Thank you so much and thank you for the content

    Best business now would be SaaS.. Sortware as a service. Get on a platform that has an affiliate program and do a training on it. People who purchase will need to spend $$ on it monthly and you get a cut.. Far better than realestate

    Hey Franklin, thanks for the video! I am really interested in buying your E-commerce training, I am a beginner from the UK. However, would you advise starting an e-commerce business during this pandemic?

    How can you get results quick? I am not talking about earning $1,000 per day in a matter of month.

    Is it possible to make $500 NET PROFIT in the first month you begin? Do I learn that in your course?

    Best
