Hey everyone! 
I’m planning to start my journey in online business, but I’m totally new to this field. I wanted to ask for your opinions and guidance on what direction I should take based on my current situation 
- Total Budget: ₹5,000
- Experience: 0 (Complete beginner – never done e-commerce or digital marketing before)
- GST: I don’t have a GST number yet, but I’m willing to apply if necessary. (Also open to suggestions on how to apply, when is the right time, and whether I actually need it to start small)
I’m confused between a few options, and I’d love to get your opinions:
Option 1:
- Low-cost product testing
- Gradually shifting to Amazon FBA if it works
Option 2:
- Creating my own store
- Running paid ads on Facebook/Instagram to generate sales
Option 3:
- Reselling without holding inventory
- Starting without GST
- Based on my ₹5,000 budget and no experience, which option do you think is most practical and sustainable?
- Is it even possible to start something meaningful with this small amount?
- For Amazon India, how soon should I get a GST number, and how complicated is the process for beginners?
- Are there any product ideas or niches that you’d recommend for low investment beginners like me?
Would love to hear from anyone who has already tried these models, or knows someone who has.
Even one tip or insight will mean a lot to me! Thank you in advance
