A basic business will offer you a product and, in exchange, you offer money to get it. In order to earn more, you offer more products, more services, and more stores. This means that you have to produce more, hire more, and spend more. This is what entrepreneurs are used to. At least, entrepreneurs that sell physical products. Another option, of course, is selling online, getting a fulfillment service, and using other platforms and services in order to make things less stressful for you.
While selling physical products is definitely more challenging compared to selling digital products, the latter still has tons of opportunities to test just how well you can manage to be an entrepreneur. Many of them are so simple that it’ll take a little extra work to convince people to buy them. Some sell fast but require support after you make the purchase. There are also others, that are so irresistible and priced way better than a possible physical counterpart that you end up being flooded with orders. Either way, you need a platform to help you work efficiently, sets up quickly and is designed to scale and works fast.
