It is much more reliable than offline, because there is no need to have any offices or warehouses, if you do not sell products, of course, and if something does not work out, you will not lose money on renting premises for which you need to pay until the end of the contract or pay for breaking the contract with the owner. In any case, it is more profitable, but not always more profitable.

Yes - online business works.

But there is a catch.

When first starting out, you need to focus on multiple streams of income while perfecting the thing you want to be your main product or service in the future.

Focus on getting all the scraps you can get until you're ready to go big and focus everything on the main thing.

The little scraps (small payouts) will help keep you motivated while making a little bit of money.

Don't quit your day job until you're ready to go full-time.
