Since time immemorial, people have been buying goods at wholesale prices and reselling them in smaller lots or individually for a profit. This is a great way to work from home and earn money as a homeworker.

Years ago, you’d have needed to buy Exchange & Mart magazine, trawl through the adverts, then write to the advertisers and ask them to send you a catalogue. Then you’d need to travel maybe a couple of hundred miles to visit their warehouse and look through their goods and buy from them. Now it’s SO much easier. Now you can simply buy wholesale goods online. And where are all these traders advertising? They advertise on eBay. They do this because it’s easy and it’s reliable. From your viewpoint, you get to search and look through thousands of goods for sale, buy them instantly and have them posted to your door, possibly by the next day.

Once your goods have arrived, you’ve then got more choices than ever before over what to do with them. I’d recommend you possibly try 2-3 different ways, over time, to see what’s the easiest for you and what makes you the most profit!

One thing you’ll quickly learn about the Internet is that forums contain really knowledgeable people! Simply write a question and somebody’s bound to be along to answer it soon …. well, that’s the lovely theory isn’t it!

But what’s the reality? What is the truth about Internet forums?

In the main a well run forum will attract people with a common interest. You can learn something new every day, even if you thought you were an expert! I love forums, I love answering questions that people have - and I love reading the postings of others because you never stop learning… in fact, if you want to earn a lot of money online you need to keep learning. The world is changing very fast!

However, the reality of most forums is that nobody visits them. They don’t have an active userbase at all. Or, nobody answers questions in a prompt manner. I’ve even seen this repeatedly on Wordpress forums, on other CMS Support forums … so, where would I go?

In these troubled times, a lot of you will be looking for ways to earn extra money - and starting your own online shop means you can reach a LOT more people across the country, or the world, than ever before! Some people have already lost their job and are now desperately looking for a new job and ways to earn money, but if you’re smart you’ll be looking to build up an income from home before your job goes! And if it doesn’t, then you can simply plough the profits into savings, your pension, or a celebratory luxury holiday!

It’s coming up to Xmas so why not start an online shop now? It’s the best time of the year to get cracking on this.

I found a great online shop software that’s easy to use and has no contract. Having no contract is important in these uncertain times as none of us like to be tied into things we’re unsure about. Although you know your online shop will be a success, there might be a little bit of “what if” lurking at the back of your mind, putting you off. Well, put those fears aside and check this out:

Once you’ve started making money online, you start to think more about the effort you’re putting in and the rewards you’re getting out. OK, so you’re making good money - and that wasn’t really too difficult, once you’d actually set your mind to it and started actually working at it. But what now? If you stop right now, how quickly before your income goes back to £0?

That’s the thing really, if you stop doing anything, you’ll quickly be back to square one. So the next thing you start to look into is how you can create yourself an ongoing income that isn’t entirely based on your efforts. Once you have an ongoing, residual income, you’re free to build on that, safe in the knowledge that you’re building on something and you’re not starting each day from £0 again.

Time and time again, the way that’s proven itself to be the most successful business type is to create a group, to create a paid membership site. All you need to do is bring people to your site and when they become paid members, you start to get paid every month. And, they’re really not that difficult at all!

If you’re running your own business from home, then presentation is quite key to how your customers perceive you. For a lot of goods, wrapping them tidily is the minimum criteria to make sure your customers think highly of you when they receive the package.

If you’re selling gifts or hampers, or lifestyle products such as perfumes or clothes, then gift wrapping your products is certainly something you should give a thought to. If you’re selling other goods, then you can upsell by offering giftwrapping as a separate, additional, chargeable service - you can make an extra £1-2 or more out of every customer! So it’s certainly worthwhile thinking about it.

You can spend hours trawling around the shops, but I swear by ebay for giftwrapping. There’s a MUCH larger selection available online than any local shop could have available and it’s delivered to you, so you don’t have to take time out, this is especially handy if you don’t live near any shops that might sell the sort of wrapping and embellishments you’re after, or if you’re starting your business as a part-time job after you’ve worked full-time, or even if you have caring responsibilities and simply can’t get to the shops!
