This is the first part in a series of articles that will help you get started with your own online business with the goal of being able to work from anywhere in the world as an independent entrepreneur. If you are interested in reading more you can download our free report on Emancipated Human here or stay tuned for the next chapters to be posted!
There are countless benefits to running an online business. You set your own hours, work from home and in terms of income, the sky's the limit. Taking the responsibility of working for yourself, you reap the benefits of all your hard work. This option is also very easy to move offshore, allowing you to avoid income tax in many cases.
First of all, you need to know what you will be selling. There are many options for different products and services you can offer.
A physical product
Take advantage of what you see in your new location. You may find things that don’t exist in your birth country, or something with a big price difference. Conversely, you may find that certain products are not available in your new country, or are expensive. Find the right product, and get an import/export business set up either online or locally (or both!).
As an example, in Mexico there are no Victoria’s Secret shops, but the brands are well-known. Get a friend to ship you a box of clothing, and you might easily sell it at 2 or 3 times the price. Another example could be designing T-shirts, selling them locally or online.
On Emancipated Human we created an online eCommerce shop for Kratom you can check out to see just how simple an online shop can be.
A digital product
With today's technology, it’s very easy to sell a digital product. If you’re a writer, you can sell books and short stories. If you have an area of expertise, you could create some guides for people to buy. Drawings, pieces of music and other arts are perfect fits for digital products. You just need to set up a web shop, or you can sell your services very easy on freelance websites such as Fiverr and more. We will touch on this in one of the next chapters so stay tuned for more. It is a lot easier than you might think.
Consultations
If you have specialized knowledge, you can offer consultations online, as a psychologist, health expert, mechanic, teacher, accountant or travel adviser. This is a very easy service to promote and one where you can establish a recurring client base, developing a livable online income within months. To offer these services online is also very accessible and can be set up quickly and even free.
I don't have a product to sell or a service to provide!
In case you do not have a specialty you feel comfortable offering as consultations or an digital product you can create and sell there are alternatives. Many other businesses who offer products and services have affiliate programs. You just sign up with them and get a special link to their site and you just send your clients to them via the link. There are countless options for this, but these are some of my favorite where you get a commission:
- Amazon: Sell anything you want from Amazon
- BestDay: Sell hotel, flight and tour bookings
- Ebay: Sell anything from Ebay
- ClickBank: A big affiliate network. Many many options
Thank you for reading the first chapter of a multi part series that will help you get started with your own online business. The next post will be about establishing an online presence, so follow us and stay tuned for the next chapter!

Ive considered making a business maaaany times, it just dont come far enough, not because I dont want to, ive got the ideas, just doesnt know how to execute them.
Looking forward to more articles!
It's very interesting and convenient online business. I want to learn more about online business.
It is certainly the future... or the present :D
absolutely I agree...
Love it! Very interested in the parts to come. Though I feel the best advice for any entrepreneur is to invest in skills, I find the online, rough-and-tumble, bohemian entrepreneurship lifestyle very enticing. Work smart AND hard!
yes, i love saying that, too "work smart AND hard"

It is very good to work online because even physically unable people can work as long as they use brain.

amazon affiliate is the best things when you dont have much skills..
I love this post keep up the good work
just followed and resteemed your post, Follow me back and upvote my posts
Very true...the sky is indeed the limit. It's important thugh to try a few platforms , facebook, instagram etc. until you find the ideal platform/platform for your particular product/service.
diversifying our online presence is a must! <3
This is the way to go. I really enjoy doing tarot card readings for people through messenger, and this is what I've really been focusing on lately. Also, I'm a new yoga teacher, and I'm thinking why would I limit myself to only teaching people locally?! I can just record my teaching and sell it online for people to do at home! So much more potential.
Why limit yourself to only people in a small radius when you have the world at your fingertips. Right? Awesome work, @Brightstar
Everyone loves it when people come together and share views. Great blog, keep it up!

Great article.
Selling products online is an excellent way to supplement incomes for sure.
Services can also be provided. For example, I am a competitive weightlifter. My coaches coach me through the Internet. I pay them via PayPal.
That's pretty fantastic!
Very interesting your post; I am reflecting on the possibility of becoming independent and having my own business, Thanks. Greetings

Making a living from the comfort of my home is my ultimate goal. There are so many avenues one could pursue. But for me the Forex market and crypto currency have my attention.
