Although I haven't tried creating a business online but I am so sure that it's fantastic to have it. There are so many online businesses that I plan to operate like umbrella selling, fashion boutique creating, and fashion jewelry engaging. I do believe that it's better or beneficial to do business online because it's tax and business permits free. We only need an attractive niche to capture the interest of the viewers, choose quality products and promote the accurate pricing. Though there's risk of rejection to pay during the delivery of order but sell only items that aren't perishable and breakable to save them. About the offline business, one cannot start a business without complying the business permits, pay tax promptly, abide health protocols, presence of health certificates and to face stiff competitors. What's your preference, online or offline business?

I like online business now as one can start it with little money. You don't need to expend money on different expenses like we experience with starting a business offline.

It's true, we can start even a little amount. We just need the right products, right market, and right strategy to attract customers. It's good to try to know the real thing of online business.
 
For me i actually prefer both cause i do not want to reply on a single source of income. I have an offline business i am trying to build up then at the same time, i want to have an online business that i can still do and earn from wherever i am.
 
For me I would prefer offline business. This is because l can say that l have not established and well prepared enough to conduct online business. I therefore find it easier to operate offline business because it's always very convenient and I the fact that I know my customers and have a ready market for it. I therefore find it more difficult to start a well established online store cause it requires commitments and consistency in the long run.
 
Personally, I have never run an online business, my experience is only in offline businesses such as I have opened a restaurant, grocery store, there is satisfaction when we can communicate with customers about their satisfaction. In my opinion, online and offline businesses have their respective advantages and disadvantages.
 
I think that online businesses in general tend to be cheaper to carry out, although they need a lot of effort also to start to generate profits, honestly I do not have a clear preference between the two, but I think that online businesses for their cost, are better for me.
 
I like online business but the disadvantages outweigh the advantages. The possiblity of losing your money is always high. I have lose a lot of money in sites that fail to live up to expectations. It is very sad. But offline business is straightforward and you can hardly lose your money. There is nothing live physical presence when you are doing business.
 
It is good to do both online and offline business especially if you have a partner in business like your husband or wife but if you are single and have the passion to operate both, you can do it by hiring a trusted person to support you.
 
I would still prefer an offline business after all I can also use online facilities to promote my products. Scamming is very rampant online that we see some food delivery boys scammed by some evil personalities, the poor deliver boy ends up paying the product ordered online.

We always see on TV delivery service men weren't paid and their salaries were deducted to pay for the unpaid orders of Jolibee worth 2000 plus. Why are there heartless human beings?

I saw the guy cried in vain. The owner of the order was a fat lady. Her reason was the order was delivered late. She didn't listen to the explanation of the driver that he was caught on a heavy traffic.
 
Online business every day all day for me! The hassles and capital both are less, but yes, you need to be a bit tech-savvy (which I am) to even run the simplest business possible online

I have done offline business where I was not successful so I started online business which is at least giving some profit. In offline business the rent of the shop and electricity bill are the main culprits of my failure.

I agree with you. Offline business requires many things like those you mentioned so we can't escape paying the bills and may pay double bills for the current usage at home and in the offline business center. Whereas, in online business, there are fewer expenditures, and for sure, it's tax-free.

Online business is easy to start so, we can start even with a little amount. Yes it takes one having the right products, knowing the right market, and adopting the right strategy to attract customers to success here.

I prefer both kinds of businesses. However, I am a bit more inclined towards online business. This is because when you conduct business online, you could do many things. You could manage your business even when you are running your business at home. However, running any kind of business could be a really hard thing, whether you are conducting online or offline business.

That's very sad. She should've exercised a little tolerance. The poor. delivery man had sweat out for that only to be treated that way.
