I always wanted to start an ecommerce site and thought to keep the profit margin the most minimal as possible to gain customers over time but as we all know that the ecommerce industry is being dominated by Amazon and Ebay and currently shopify is its competitor I think.
And yes I know it will take time for one business to grow. No one can climb a tree on one jump, it takes time and yes I am ready to give my everything on this business to grow. And jobs nowadays are scarce and limited, and there is no stable future and nor there is any security. One can only fulfill their basic needs from a job and not their desires. Thats what I think, but I could be wrong tho.

Hence I am looking for ideas on which business to start.

Now I have 2 things in my mind:
1) I was thinking to start to start dropshipping. I contact alidropship forum and they charge 299 USD for making a custom dropship store and then I have option to use shopify (30 USD or so for monthly subscription) to conduct dropshipping business. But I dont know how much would I have to invest at first on dropshipping and how much will I be making in the beginning.

2) This cloud hosting and web hosting business on servers, vps , etc , how much do I need to start these sort of thing and are these profitable and how much will I make approx at the beginning? I am happy if I could at least make around 300-350 USD at the beginning. Then I will invest more if I see proper ROI ( Return of Investment ).

3) Another thing that many people told me that I could make a site and get a stable and good earnings from ads and such? Heard that some people make more than 1K USD+ per month from ads and such? Is that possible? If yes then which type of site should I be looking forward to make?

Of course if it is allowed here in this forum, I will hire one of you professionals to make such a site for me. Of course will pay you.

Moreover, I am open and looking to make a site on the current trending thing as of now. Thats all. Hence I am looking for ideas. Then will hire a professional to make that site.

Kindly help me out on this.


Thanks and Regards,
Finn
