Why were you selling? Not generating enough money?
This is just my opinion, it’s worth what it’s worth, but the best way to start in the online businesses is part-time, after work (or at work in my case, since I could write articles while at work).
It’s not like a brick and mortar store in a mall, where naturally people will come to you and you should generate revenues right from the beginning. It’s more like a store in the middle of 1 million other stores, and it takes a long time before generating enough money to live off of it decently.
I guess what I want to say is get a job that’s flexible and still lets you work on your websites until they grow further.
