1. Physical Product Based Businesses:  You can make your own products, design them and then have them manufactured, or buy products at wholesale and sell for retail. A physical product can be physically shipped anywhere and products can be sold online through an online shop, boutique, or online sales platform like Amazon, Etsy and Ebay. These can be products that you make yourself, maybe you have a craft or jewelry business where you can make your own products. Or, these can be products you design yourself and have manufactured elsewhere like t-shirts, pillows, coffee mugs. You can find all sorts of manufacturers on Alibaba.com.
2. Service Based Based Businesses:  This would be coaching, consulting, freelancing, and done-for-you services. Coaching can include business coaches, health coaches, fitness coaches, life coaches, deployment coaches and more. Consulting services in areas such as marketing, technology, public relations, social media, IT, or Financial. Freelancers, such as website developers, graphic artists, advertising, bookkeeping, design, copywriting, customer service, interior design, web marketing, video production, voice talents, and English Teaching.
