You may have heard of this cool little thing called 'Ecommerce' where you can buy stuff from the comfort of your own couch. You may not be overly surprised to know it is a multi-billion dollar industry. While the big players such as amazon certainly have the largest chunk of the pie, anyone with an entrepreneurial streak can make a start in ecommerce.
I cover how to make a start in this video, but I'll recap here:
One of the easiest ways to start making money online from home is to simply sell items. Look around your home for anything that you may not use anymore. Is there something that you could sell lying around collecting dust? Found one? Ok cool...
Now all you need to do is find a buyer. To do so, simply jump on Facebook and check out the Facebook Marketplace. List your item (which is free to do so), join Facebook groups such as 'buy sell, trade (in your postcode)' and add your items to the groups. Respond quickly to any enquiries you receive and sell your items!
Easy huh!
Now when you start running out of items to sell in your home, you may wish to look into opportunities for arbitrage. For example, on places such as Ebay, or gumtree.
You can also look for free items on the likes of craigslist. If you look on craigslist, I would suggest looking for items such as furniture that may have a higher sale value and likelihood of actually selling (as opposed to collecting dust in your garage).
There you have it. How you can get started and make money as early as today!
