Working nine-to-five full-time isn’t wrong. In fact, it’s the normal, more accepted route that most people take. It’s a simple, straightforward path to financial freedom, gaining stability, and preparing for future plans.

But if you’ve found yourself on this page, it might be because you feel like you’re stuck in a rut. Maybe you’re no longer passionate about your job, wondering if there are other options to explore or simply curious as to why some would choose a non-traditional alternative such as opening an online store. There are several benefits that suit certain individuals more and can’t be found in working a nine-to-five job.

1)  You're Not Tied Down To A Specific Location

Traveling has been a dream for many, but work and company policies often keep people tied down where they are. Those courageous enough to quit the comforts of an office job to pursue their lifelong dream take up online jobs or open virtual businesses.

An e-commerce store lets owners operate the shop from any location with a stable internet connection. Shop owners also don’t have to attend to the store while it’s open. How long is the store open, you might ask? 24/7.

2)  You Have Control Over Your Time

It’s the best perk of being an entrepreneur. Running your own show, so to speak, means you are your own boss.

You can spend your day attending to other business-related tasks such as marketing, tech support, etc, or taking care of personal matters.

3)  You Can Start An Online Store Even Without A Big Capital

Some choose to begin with a Facebook page, Amazon, or eBay because of the low entry costs to no costs at all.

These days, you can even open up your own site because eCommerce platforms like Shopify are much cheaper and easier to use. If you’d look around, you’d find there are those that offer basic plans at less than $20, and you can upgrade later as your shop’s needs change.

4)  You Can Do Something You’re Passionate About

Ever wondered what your former hobbies were good for? You used to love toys—or still do—or you’re a fashion-lover or makeup aficionado, or an avid gamer. Some decided to channel their interests into a business, sharing their love for certain things or activities with people around them.

Entering into a venture that’s more in line with your knowledge and background gives you an edge because of your familiarity with the product and high likelihood of understanding customers.

5)  There Is A Huge Income Potential

When you first start an online shop, you can’t expect to have dollars rolling in immediately. Many had to balance their full-time job with managing their shop after-hours, not to mention while juggling their social life and other responsibilities. But profits don’t have ceilings, unlike income.

Being able to operate twenty-four hours a day and with a much wider reach than brick-and-mortar companies, the success stories of eCommerce entrepreneurs continue to increase in number.
