Be careful with the products you choose to sell as you will of course need to ensure some element of quality control if you don’t want to have returned orders to deal with!
Copy Writing and Freelance Article Writing
There are many amateur writers making a little extra money by writing for magazines. There are even web based exchanges where publishers and writers bargain over the types of articles required with writers bidding on the jobs. If you have a flair for creative writing you can also draft advertisements for those merchants who don’t have the skills to do their own writing.
Garage Sales & eBay
Some folks trash really can be other folks treasure. All sorts of perfectly usable goods from clothing to furniture and more can be easily sourced from garage sales, op-shops and even neighborhood ‘clean up days’ where households put their old furniture and appliances out for collection. Old computers and toys are often left out for collection and if you have an eye for them (you’ll soon develop it by practice) you can make a tidy profit.
Affiliate Marketing
Many merchants sell products and services from their websites and are always looking to boost sales. They offer commissions to others who sell on their behalf. These commissions can be quite generous, up to 70% in the case of digital products like software and ebooks. If you have a website you can sign up as an affiliate with these merchants and get a special link to use on your website. Readers entering their site from yours are tracked using this link so that sales can be attributed back to you. This is an extremely lucrative opportunity and its hassle free as all sales, shipping and customer are handled by the merchant, you just sit back and receive the commission!
