Some people stuck in the 9-5 grind want a "get-rich-quick" solution. While such shortcuts don't exist without hard work, e-commerce provides opportunities to live life on your terms through its global reach. How can you leverage this growing space to begin developing passive income?

Seasoned e-commerce entrepreneur Will Basta can travel, live, and work in various countries at his leisure. He's achieved this freedom by identifying and capitalizing on profitable opportunities in the digital market. Yet entrepreneurship in this space has its failures, so Will emphasizes evaluating these opportunities carefully and diversifying your risk across multiple markets. When you expand your product and market horizons, you can build an automated enterprise that gives you personal and professional freedoms.
