"Starting an online Floral or Plant Business"


          

I need some ideas on the kind of business I can start online. I grow plants and sell them at tag sales. And I make floral arrangements for family and friends. It is a hobby and passion of mine. Hopefully someone can light a spark in my mind to create a small business online. Thank You, Roni

You could also start an information site about making floral arrangements. You said that it was a "passion" of yours. That's a major plus in terms of chances of success. When you're passionate about something, that translates into your writing and anything else you create. People react to it and are likely to link to you in their emails and on their own sites.

You could write e-books (focused as opposed to general ones are best) to sell on your site and, as your traffic grows, you could sell ads to complementary businesses.

Even if you decide to sell floral arrangements, you could still do all of the above. There are some who would rather create a design of their own. Then, there are others who don't have the time or think they have the talent, and would rather pay someone else to do it. You could sell to both.
