Plus, many are&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.businessinsider.com\/how-to-start-side-hustle-business-with-no-money-2023-1\">free or otherwise affordable<\/a>. This digital revolution is one reason why 10.5 million Americans created businesses in the past two years.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.businessinsider.com\/easiest-online-businesses-to-start-content-creation-coaching-marketing-blogging-2023-1\">Online businesses<\/a>&nbsp;can be an accessible way to earn extra income since most have low overhead costs and are simple to run from home.

Some people run their online businesses with\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.businessinsider.com\/something-navy-founder-arielle-charnas-how-many-hours-founders-work-2022-12\">as little as four hours a week<\/a>, while others run full-time operations clocking 45 hours a week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even in a recession, Franklin is confident&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.businessinsider.com\/how-to-start-and-grow-a-business-founders-advice-2023-1\">entrepreneurs will find opportunities to start and grow<\/a>&nbsp;their businesses.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;If you want to start a business, don&#8217;t pay attention to the headlines,&#8221; she said. &#8220;Instead, look around you for opportunity or gaps where the status quo could be better for somebody and then work to fix it. If you do that, it doesn&#8217;t matter if there&#8217;s a recession.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Insider compiled a list of the most popular online businesses to start in 2023, based on our previous reporting.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Virtual Assistant<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Resale<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Vending machines<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cleaning Business<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Therapist of Trainer<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Consultant or Coach<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Freelancing<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Source: africa.businesssinsider.com<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cc: Jennifer Ortakalaes Dawkins<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A possible recession, continued inflation, and ongoing layoffs have cast a shadow of uncertainty upon the new year.
