Sales
A growing number of entrepreneurs make their living selling and reselling items over the Internet. With the growth of technology, you can reach a wide audience and take advantage of online auctions and free message sites to sell your wares. Sales through other venues, such as door-to-door, at flea markets and fairs or through parties also work for some entrepreneurs. The trick for a beginner is to find a consistent source of goods that you can sell for a profit. Being enthusiastic and persistent, outgoing and friendly go a long way toward improving your chances of success. Successful sales people might start a business selling their own creations, such as artists, sewers and potters. Entry into party sales of lingerie, cosmetics or house wares requires very little investment. If you enjoy collecting, you might do well spending part of your week finding great deals and the other part of your week reselling them online.
