I’m looking for some honest advice from people who have actually built an online business.

I’m a complete beginner. I have a laptop, an internet connection, and time to learn , but I currently have very little money to invest and almost zero knowledge about business .

My goal is pretty modest to start with: if I could eventually make ₹10,000–₹20,000/month , I’d be happy. I’m not looking for a get-rich-quick scheme or overnight success. I’m willing to learn and work consistently; I just don’t know what direction to take.

There are so many options online — freelancing, selling services, affiliate marketing, digital products, content creation, e-commerce, etc.…
