Our favorite businesses to start in 2023

Start a dropshipping business.

Dropshipping is a business model that allows you to sell products online without having to own the inventory of those items. You can start a dropshipping business in as little as one day and with little overhead, since you won't need to buy any products until you have sold them.

Dropshipping works by having an ecommerce site linked up with suppliers who will send the product directly to your customer when they order it. You don’t pay for these products upfront, so there are no initial costs associated with starting a business like this; however, you will be responsible for paying shipping costs and other fees related to the actual sale of each item (like taxes).

The benefit of dropshipping is that it eliminates risk associated with holding physical inventory—your only responsibility is making sure your website has enough traffic coming through it so that when someone clicks "buy," there's actually something available for them! Dropshipping also allows entrepreneurs who may not have access or funds available for starting up their own brick-and-mortar stores or warehouses by giving them access (via their computers).

Create digital products or online courses.

Another way to make money online is by creating digital products and selling them on the internet. This can include courses, ebooks, videos, or any other kind of information that you have access to.If you have an idea for a product or course that people would be willing to pay for, then this could be a great opportunity for you!

If you don’t know where to start when it comes to making your own product or course, Udemy and Skillshare are two websites where people sell their own educational material online. They both charge fees but give you 70-80% commission after each sale. You can also use Shopify if you want an all-in-one platform with payments features like PayPal and Stripe built. Another option is Gumroad which offers simple payment processing but still gives 50% commissions on every sale. BigCommerce charges no setup fee but takes 2% per transaction which may be worth it depending on how many sales there are each month.

Create an online fashion boutique.

If you have a knack for fashion and love to shop, you may want to consider starting an online boutique. With the advent of social media and the popularity of Instagram, it's easier than ever to start your own business selling clothes and accessories. You can sell clothing from inexpensive brands like Forever21 and H&M, or you can sell luxury brands such as Chanel or Louis Vuitton.

You can also sell shoes, bags and other accessories on your site. So if someone is looking for new heels or sunglasses but hasn't had any luck finding something that looks good on them in person, they might find success shopping online with a personalized shopping experience focused around their needs (and budget!).

Selling makeup products or beauty products is another good option for someone wanting to start an online business because there are so many options out there! You don't even necessarily need an actual store front—you could just post pictures of what's available on Instagram using hashtags like

If you are looking for a way to make money on the side and have an idea of a business that you think could work, then now is definitely the time to start. If you do not want to go through any long-term contracts or loans, then it may be worth looking into starting an online business. You can start earning money right away with no upfront costs by selling products through Amazon or another online marketplace like Etsy. It might take some time before your business starts generating revenue; however, once it does get off the ground there will be no stopping it!
