Someday i want to start a online small business but i stink with ideas or dream big. I would like to start small if possible but im not sure what type of business is small or dosent require inventory. For a first time startup thing i dont really want to deal with inventory.

The only thing i think could fit this post is something like youtube or even tikok? There may be better ideas out there.

Anything that provides a service rather than sells a product. This would likely take the form of an app or website that people subscribe to or purchase, but could also be services like copy or video editing, voice work or the like.

Agree. Any professional service doesn't need inventory to start. Accountant, financial advisor, lawyer, etc. You do however need to go to school and typically get recognized by the state with a certification.
