Re: vegan online business
I know several pople who sell their craft stuff online (textiles, jewellery etc), but none whom make enough money from it to replace their day job - only an income suppliment. If you can it's probably best to start out with it on this basis to test the water. If you get loads of orders then give up your day job - it's easier than trying the other way round.
Re: vegan online business
thats what i assumed i would have to do. just see how many people are actually interested, if alot, then i could obviously make good profit. if not, then obviously it would only be good as a little side thing :)
Re: vegan online business
It depends on what you want to sell. You don't have to spend money on selling information like recipes, and if you make some profit beyond what you need the money for, you can use it to buy materials for the products you wish to create. Once you get an established customer base, they might be interested in other products if you decide to expand.
I didn't have to spend any money on becoming a pet sitter and dog walker in the beginning, but it took a while to get going. Now I have an advertising budget, which helps the business grow. Word of mouth is still my best tool, though. It does make me feel good that my customers are happy with me, and give my name to other people. :)
