You probably SHOULDN'T start an online store if... I've spent a lot of time telling you why you should open an online store. But now I need to tell you who shouldn't open an online store because it's not for everybody. If you're expecting to throw up a website tonight and wake up tomorrow rich. No. If you have absolutely no interest in learning what your customer wants. It's probably not for you. And if you think AI is going to run an entire business while you just sit on the couch and do nothing. That's not how this works. What AI can do is make the starting part ridiculously easy. Tools like create.mstry.ai can help build the store, find the products and eliminate a lot of the technical stuff that makes people quit before they even begin. AI can give you a pretty incredible head start. AI makes it easier. It doesn't make it magic. But you still have to build the business.
