How To Make Money Selling Products
You can either create a new (your own) product, or working with an existing product.
If you want to create your own product, you could consider: - E-Books (you need to be able to write reasonably well - or get somebody to do it for you)
- Private Sites (you need to be able to write reasonably well and most likely update your work regularly - or get somebody to do it for you)
- Software (you need to be develop software - or get somebody to do it for you)
If you don't want to spend time creating your own product, look at: - Items that you purchase from a wholesaler and resell at a profit.
- Items that you purchase from a Drop Shipper. A Drop Ship distributor is a wholesale company that will ship a product directly to your customer for you. You can get a list of these in The Drop Ship Source Directory
Advantages - Customers are purchasing from you - if they like the product you can offer them additional products/services and sell them those too, later.
- No limit on the amount of sales that you can (potentially) make.
Disadvantages - Some initial investment of time/money required.
- Customer Service - you need to devote at least part of your time to customer service (answering questions etc.)
