Do you need experience to start an online business? It sure helps.
Ultimately, the idea behind starting a business is to generate income and be self-sufficient. If you can't do that, the business falls apart. So it helps tremendously to be as fully-informed on business matters, and how businesses work and function, before starting one. That's just as true for online businesses as it is for any other type of business.
I'd never dream of opening a restaurant because I don't know anything about ordering inventory, hiring and vetting chefs, processing payroll, paying a lease on a large restaurant, ordering food supplies or how often to order food so it doesn't go bad and in what quantities, how to deal with restaurant legal issues or all the other issues that can come up. And yet people open restaurants without any prior experience every day.
So, it absolutely helps to have some knowledge and experience before just jumping in. A business being online makes no difference, it just means that business is conducted primarily online.
You'd have to know about how to operate and promote and build your business venture, in addition to what should go into a very robust digital marketing campaign so the business can attract your ideal customers. Typically that involves hiring experienced specialists who can deliver the results you need quickly so you don't waste money or years of your life. Or learning as you go, and often making expensive mistakes.
