Automated Businesses and Why You Should Start One
So you might be wondering what automated businesses are and what exactly all the buzz is about. You may have heard the saying, “Work smart, not hard.” Nothing applies more to this popular mantra than the automated business—a business that is largely hands-off and, after initial set-up—begins to run itself and earn money for you. We like to call this earning “passive income.” Passive income is money that is generated while you live your life—eat, sleep, vacation. While you’re sleeping, your online automated business is selling products and earning you money.
How Covid-19 Has Created a Demand for Passive Income
In a time when the COVID-19 pandemic has caused many businesses to shut down and employers to furlough or even lay-off employees, the economy’s sudden “house-of-cards” style downturn is making people realize that the old-school concept of working 9 – 5 for a company is dated ideology, and that a “secure job” isn’t ever really secure.
There are different types of automated businesses, each with varying start-up costs and nuances. Automated online businesses are newer in concept, and the demand for them is increasing due in-part to how Covid-19 is changing the way people work and create income streams. Creating an at-home business that requires no in-person interaction is a new market everyone wants in-on.
People are beginning to realize that they need a spare tire and have back-up streams of revenue to protect them. Passive income is important because it creates stability, security, and freedom in your financial life, and can even replace a full-time job to give you financial freedom.
The Rise of the E-Commerce Business
Electronic commerce or e-commerce is a business model that allows companies and even individuals to buy and sell products over the internet. E-commerce operates via business to business (B2B), business to consumer (B2C), consumer to business (C2B) or consumer to consumer (C2C). The advantage of an ecommerce business is that you can sell products without the overhead of a brick-and-mortar store and having employees. Moreover, you can reach customers all over the world, while a brick and mortar store is confined to reaching consumers surrounding the radius of the area it’s located in.
Why Start an Amazon Automated Business?
The purpose of an Amazon Automation business is to earn passive income without lifting a finger – and Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA for short), takes the legwork out of selling products on the internet and allows you to ship products to one of Amazon’s warehouses or fulfillment centers. Additionally, the advantage of using a service like Fulfillment by Amazon is that you can test your products in one of the biggest, most visited, marketplaces online.
