Hi, I am 37 year old. I am into family business but lost my dad during COVID and now I am not at all interested in the service business. I want to get into product based business like online reselling and running a online e commerce store. Is it good to start in 2025 as I think e commerce has heavy competition. Please advise

Ans: Starting an e-commerce business in 2025 is a good opportunity, but competition is high. Success depends on choosing the right approach. First, find a profitable niche with high demand and less competition. Instead of selling common products, focus on unique ones like eco-friendly goods, smart gadgets, or personalized items. Use tools like Google Trends and Amazon Best Sellers to research what people want and how you can stand out with better pricing, quality, or branding.

Next, pick a business model based on your budget and risk level. Options include dropshipping (suppliers manage inventory and shipping), wholesale buying (purchase in bulk for higher profits), private labelling (selling third-party products under your brand), or print-on-demand (customized items produced only when ordered). You can sell on big marketplaces like Amazon, Flipkart, Meesho, and Etsy for faster reach or build your own website with Shopify or WooCommerce for better control.

Managing logistics and payments is key. If you stock products, partner with reliable shipping providers like Delhivery or Shiprocket. Set up smooth transactions with payment gateways like Razorpay, PayU, or Stripe. To grow your business, focus on marketing—use social media platforms like Instagram and Facebook for promotion, improve SEO to get more website visitors, and run Google Ads or influencer campaigns to boost sales.

As your business grows, expand smartly by offering subscriptions, bundle deals, or exclusive discounts to keep customers coming back. The key to success is standing out from competitors, offering great service, and strong branding. E-commerce is competitive, but there’s always room for new, unique businesses. All the best for new opportunities.

Dear Sir, I did my BTech from a normal engineering college not very famous. The teaching was not great and hence i did not study well. I tried my best to learn coding including all the technologies like html,css,javascript,react js,dba,php because i wanted to be a web developer But nothing seem to enter my head except html and css. I don't understand a language which has more complexities. Is it because of my lack of experience or not devoting enough time. I am not sure. I did many courses online and tried to do diplomas also abroad which i passed somehow. I recently joined android development course because i like apps but the teaching was so fast that i could not memorize anything. There was no time to even take notes down. During the course i did assignments and understood the code because i have to pass but after the course is over i tend to forget everything. I attempted a lot of interviews. Some of them i even got but could not perform well so they let me go. Now due to the AI booming and job markets in a bad shape i am re-thinking whether to keep studying or whether its just time waste. Since 3 years i am doing labour type of jobs which does not yield anything to me for survival and to pay my expenses. I have the quest to learn everything but as soon as i sit in front of the computer i listen to music or read something else. What should i do to stay more focused? What should i do to make myself believe confident. Is there still scope of IT in todays world? Kindly advise.
Ans: Your story does not show failure.
It shows persistence, effort, and desire to improve.

Most people give up.
You didn’t.
That means you will succeed — but with the right method, not the old one.

My married ex still texts me for comfort. Because of him, I am unable to move on. He makes me feel guilty by saying he got married out of family pressure. His dad is a cardiac patient and mom is being treated for cancer. He comforts me by saying he will get separated soon and we will get married because he only loves me. We have been in a relationship for 14 years and despite everything we tried, his parents refused to accept me, so he chose to get married to someone who understands our situation. I don't know when he will separate from his wife. She knows about us too but she comes from a traditional family. She also confirmed there is no physical intimacy between them. I trust him, but is it worth losing my youth for him? Honestly, I am worried and very confused.
Ans: Dear Anonymous,
I understand how difficult it is to let go of a relationship you have built from scratch, but is it really how you want to continue? It really seems to be going nowhere. His parents are already in bad health and he married someone else for their happiness. Does it seem like he will be able to leave her? So many people’s happiness and lives depend on this one decision. I think it’s about time you and your BF have a clear conversation about the same. If he can’t give a proper timeline, please try to understand his situation. But also make sure he understands yours and maybe rethink this equation. It really isn’t healthy. You deserve a love you can have wholly, and not just in pieces, and in the shadows.

Hope this helps
