Seriously, its cool to have an online business.

The cool factor is like 234,892.

The business doesn’t necessary have to be an online retail store, but that’s what I have and it’s what I’ve been doing for the past 3-4 years.

When I first set up the website years ago and spread word about it on related message boards, I woke up the next day with about 10 orders. Although the amount wasn’t much (a bit over $100), it was still pretty darn cool.

It was my first experience of “making money while you sleep.” I giggled all the way to the bank – or rather, I giggled while I click away to transfer the money into my bank account.

“Just a couple more orders and I’ll break even!” Was my initial thought, imagine my joy when profit actually came knocking.

For those that have sold items on eBay before, it’s a very similiar experience as your first ever sale. Whether you made a profit or not, your efforts brought in some result, and it was pretty darn cool, wasn’t it?

So I’m totally for spreading this coolness. Got an idea? Notion? A niche you think you can fill? Go for it!

Don’t have any of those? Well neither does everyone else. Even though it helps, they’re not requirements to get going.

The point is: get going.

If you’ve always been itching to try it out too, now’s as good of a time as any. The start-up costs are very doable these days. You don’t have to invest thousands to get going. It’s also made mcuh easier by the many different options available out there. It will require a good amount of your time, but I think its worth it – if only in the educational sense.

So come on, everyone else is doing it, don’t you want to be cool too?
