If you’ve never ever sold anything online in your entire life, this is the blog post for you.

The first step is finding what you want to sell. You could look through your house and find things you don’t use anymore to sell on Amazon or eBay as a start. This is a good way to get rid of unwanted items and make some quick easy money while decluttering your home. If you have unique skills, there are sites like Fiverr where you can offer services starting at $ five per task. Once you establish yourself on the site and build up good reviews, you can start charging more for your services. There are also print-on-demand sites like Redbubble or Society six where people upload their designs and the company takes care of printing and shipping the product when it’s ordered.

This is a great way to make passive income; meaning you make money while you sleep!

Now that we have covered some ways to find products or services to sell, let’s talk about the cost of starting an online business. If you are selling physical items, you will need to factor in the cost of shipping and packaging supplies. If you are selling digital products, there is no cost for shipping since it’s all done electronically. For both physical and digital products, you will need a domain name (which can be bought through sites like GoDaddy for as little as $ 12 per year) and hosting for your website (which can be as low as $ five per month with discounts if paid annually). And that’s it! You can start an online business for less than $ 20 per year!

Of course, there are other costs associated with running a business such as marketing and advertising, but we’ll cover that in another blog post. For now, let’s focus on the low cost of entry to get your eCommerce business up and running.

So what are you waiting for? Start selling today and make some passive income! You never know where it might take you.
