Have you ever thought about selling something online? I am sure everyone has at least one thing to sell online. If not, just sit down and try to imagine what can you sell online. And there are no limits on your revenue and the number of products that you can sell.
Today, many people do shopping online because it is easy, more flexible, and comfortable. Especially during the coronavirus pandemic, when many people stay at home, e-commerce became more popular.
Handmade or Crafted items
All of us have hobbies, and many people like to create something by themselves. I have many talented friends who make jewelry, who is sewing by themselves, who knit, and do a lot of other crafts. It is their hobby, and some of them sell their works online.
Many famous furniture companies started their business from small sellings, from their hobby. So, why don’t you monetize your hobby too?
Photos
Also, you can create a digital product and sell it. For example, you can take photos and sell them via your online store or in photo stocks like Shutterstock. I am sure that all of you have photos on your phones. You can easily upload your photo on Shutterstock from your phone, and start to make money.
You can draw a picture, record a video, write a book or whatever you want, and sell it.
5 main tips about Shutterstock:
- Check platform rules first
- Upload as many photos as possible
- Leave a clear description to your photo
- Be patient
- Be creative
Old things
All of us have old things at home, which we don’t use for a long time. We keep such things at home because we feel guilty about throwing these things away.
Selling old things online is not just one of the best ways to make money by selling online; it is a great way to clean your home and empty space.
I usually sell online my old books, electronics, some clothes, and shoes, which are in good condition.
Your knowledge
Not only physical products can be sold online. Today we can sell online our skills, knowledge, experience. Fiverr is one of the most popular platforms, where freelancers sell their ‘gig’. All you need is just register and fill in your profile. Also, there are free online tests, which will help to check your knowledge and to verify your skills.
Besides, Fiverr offers online courses to improve your skills and learn something new.
Dropshipping
Well, dropshipping is a popular method of making money online by selling. The most significant advantage of that method is that you don’t need storage to keep products. The main idea of dropshipping is that you connect the buyer and supplier.
There are a lot of platforms that provide a list of dropship suppliers. For example, Inventory Source. All you need is just to register and choose the suppliers and products which you want to sell at your store. Also, Shopify provides different apps for dropshipping, which can be integrated into your store as well.
