I hear this question all the time on forums and in discussion groups: What is the best online business for a newbie to start in, affiliate sales promotion or setting up a drop-shipping store online? Personally, I started with neither one and went with providing services like article writing, press releases and site design, but most people start with drop-shipping or affiliate work. What did you start in as a new entrepreneur, and what would you recommend for a newbie who is just starting out?
