I have a $1000 budget to start an online business. I got no problem with the technical/computer/web design stuff. My issue is with the business side. I went to Alibaba and found plenty of interesting products but the manufacturers/distributors deals with registered businesses. I want to start small and register a business later. Similar to launching an application. You begin beta testing then when all core issues are ironed out the product is officially released.

Currently I am confused on what's the best business to pursue since I don't have any business experience. Should I go for affiliate marketing? Dropshipping? Actual buying and selling of products? Domain reseller?

I have a full time job (9-5) and want a small business on the side. I have 2 small children so I need to balance work, business and family. A tough job in itself.

I appreciate all your expert advices/suggestions.
