5 Things You Absolutely Need to Sell Online

Becoming a stay at home parent is an excellent way to manage household tasks and care for your child more efficiently at the same time. If you still want to have your own source of income during this stage of life, selling items on the Internet is the most suitable approach by far.

1. Handmade Crafts

Handmade crafts are perhaps the best item you can sell on Internet marketplaces nowadays. People simply love DIY products, and finding the time to make them is easier than pursuing a full-time job. There are quite a few options here as well. You can create jewelry or personalized items, formulate bath bombs and soaps, or produce deliciously scented candles.

Platforms such as Shopify are a useful tool in this type of e-commerce. Since the platform has a standard overview, you can use Katana as an addition to the predefined Shopify inventory. Naturally, going into this line of work requires a bit of business savviness as well.

2. Secondhand Clothes

Selling secondhand clothes is a great way to make ends meet from the comfort of your laptop. Nasty Gal’s former CEO Sophia Amoruso is a prime example of how this can turn into a multimillion-dollar business. Women love a good vintage find nowadays, so why not retail some high-quality pieces in your wardrobe and make room for new ones in the process?

However, if you want to turn a real profit, you will need to invest some time into it. Websites such as PoshMark or Depop are a great place to start, as is the Asos Marketplace. To take it one step further, create an Instagram account and follow fashion enthusiasts in your area.

3. Baby Gear

Every mother is more than familiar with how quickly babies grow out of their clothes and gear. Fortunately, this doesn’t need to mean that all the money you spent on them goes out the window. Sell the items that are still in good condition to new mommies looking for a bargain, and you will surely get some of that investment back.

4. Used Books

Are you an avid reader? Selling some of your old books is an excellent way to declutter the house and earn some cash in the process as well. There is more than one way in which you can do this, but choosing to pursue it online offers the highest payout. Amazon is by far the best resource for this, as you can choose to commercialize your own or let the website do it for you.

5. Your Talents

Do you speak a foreign language, or are you insanely good at web design? Did you go to business school and would like to sell your advice to those interested? Freelancing is a profitable way to market your talents on the Internet without having to leave the house for meetings and other related events.

The Bottom Line

The Internet offers a diverse array of online marketplaces where you can sell anything from handmade crafts and clothes to your most valuable skills. All you need to do is find what you’re good at and market it accordingly. So, what is your weapon of choice?
