Unwanted Items
Ever been to a car boot sale? They are full of second hand unwanted items and yet many people who sell items there make a small profit. This can be a great way of clearing out unwanted stock and also making some money. The beauty of this is that you shouldn’t have any start up costs. You’re not buying stock – you are simply taking your own goods and selling them on. It could be worth talking to contacts to see if they have any products they want to contribute. You can also use sites like eBay to sell these items online.
Home Made
Homemade items are very popular in local areas. Local people who make cakes, sew, knit or make models are usually very popular and can strike up a rapport with local businesses. If you have a talent then why not use it to earn extra income? You can even set up a small website or blog to promote it.
Product Selection
If you are looking to make money online you need to select your products carefully. Do your research and find out what is popular by looking on sites like eBay and Amazon in your chosen area. You should also budget carefully – you should work out how much you want to spend on items each week to ensure you are not over spending.
