How to Start an Online CBD Business

Living through a global pandemic was unsettling to say the least. Many of us experienced loss of loved ones, loss of jobs and overwhelming anxiety. A lot of people are still experiencing crippling anxiety as the world returns to a new normal.

While we wait for our government to catch up with the scientifically proven benefits of marijuana, we can help ourselves, friends, family and neighbors with the legally recognized benefits of cbd products. Cbd relieves pain. It calms nerves. It relieves anxiety.

It is also a very profitable business. You may be one of the thousands who discovered that you enjoyed being home with your family. Instead of spending your day commuting, working and then coming home exhausted; you commuted to your living room and worked on your own schedule. You may even be wondering how you can start your own business so you can continue to enjoy working in the comfort of your own home.

The Cost of Business

When you look into starting your own business, cost will probably be the first thing on your mind. Most people don't realize that even employees have expenses when they work their 9-5 jobs. For example, there's the cost of commuting, work clothes and lunch, to name a few. Therefore, it's reasonable to expect a cost to start your own business.

However, starting an online business is much cheaper than trying to purchase a franchise or renting a store front. It usually requires a small upfront fee in order to access training, done for you landing pages and websites. After that, all you need is an internet connection and either a phone or laptop.

Avoiding Scams in Online Business Opportunities

It's no secret that the Internet is riddled with scams. These are often easy to spot by the outrageous claims made. There is simply no possible way that a single mom can earn $997,997.00 in a single hour after she quit her three waitressing jobs. So the old saying is correct, "if something seems too good to be true, it probably isn't true." Good old fashioned common sense will weed out the obvious scams.

As for other opportunities, sometimes they are legit but just not the right fit for you. If it's not the right fit and you're wasting time, money and energy on it, then it's just as bad as falling for a scam.

How to Find the Right Online Business

The right online business has to be the right fit for you. It should align with your values, your skill set and your passion. I have personally wasted a lot of money, time and energy promoting products that didn't match my passion. For example, I've wasted six months and $4,000.0 trying to sell training programs for affiliate marketers. The programs are excellent and I'd absolutely recommend them. However, my passion is healthcare and wellness so it was a terrible fit for me.

But when you do find that opportunity that brings your values, skills and passion together, it truly is magical. You become filled with enthusiasm to share your products with the world. This enthusiasm brings an authentic touch to your contact with potential customers, which results in sales.

So while you explore the millions of opportunities out there, ask yourself these questions:

1. Does this company have strong, clearly stated values and ethics?

2. Are the prices of their products reasonable? (Some companies inflate the cost of their products in order to pay commissions. This makes them harder to sell.)

3. Am I passionate about the mission of this company or the products they sell?

4. Do I have the time, money and energy to invest in this business right now?

If you've answered yes to these questions, then this would be the right opportunity for you!

Why Choose a CBD Business?

CBD is rapidly becoming the most popular dietary supplement. It can be found in a variety of products from skin care to coffee. This makes it easier to sell to a broader market. In fact, the CBD market is expected top $20 billion by the year 2024. Now that it is legal in all 50 states in the US, many brick and mortar stores are carrying CBD products. However, online sales still account for 60% of all CBD products.

HBNaturals is an example of how successful an ethical CBD business can be. Their motto, "use plants, not pills" gives voice to many people with chronic illness who are tired of being Big Pharma lab rats and long for natural solutions. This business is free to join, although you are encouraged to try the products in order to serve your customers better. Their products are organically and sustainably sourced in the US. To be transparent, I am a proud representative of this company.
