1. It's definitely not a red flag. Solopreneurs can be successful and grow businesses to non-trivial levels of revenue and income. I myself went that path, there is absolutely nothing wrong with it. I'd even argue, being solo should be the default option rather than an alternative.
2. There are 3 phases for your business:
- Verifying product-market fit (this includes getting at least 1 paying customer)
- Finding a way to get a more or less stable stream of new customers
- Building up an organization
3. Running online business from a small town is a dream many chase :) At some point you will need lawyers and accountants, you will have to figure out how to deal with them remotely (that shouldn't be hard).
4. Marketing will become one of the hardest parts of your business once you verify product-market fit. Have at least a newsletter and a referral program - they cost little but work.
