The Best Items to Sell for Your New Online Business from Home

Thinking about starting a business selling products from home? The great news is it’s easy as ever to build a website allowing you to sell whatever products you choose. That sounds all easy enough.

What’s tricky is finding the products that will sell and make money. Fortunately, we can suggest three kinds of products that sell particularly well. Let’s look at each of them and what makes them a perfect fit to sell through a home-based online business.

1. Dietary Supplements

Many of us often turn to supplements to be healthier. But the supplements you may need aren't always easily available where you live. That's why dietary supplements are one of the top products people buy online. Identifying supplements with the best value for consumers can be a very profitable business.

2. Cell Phone Accessories

So many of us are living on our cell phones today. That means we need new cases, chargers, and screen protectors on a regular basis. Online stores usually offer the best value for cell phone accessories, especially for less popular cell phone models.

3. Laptop and Other Electronic Chargers & Cables

With so much of our computing on the go, it really turns you off to have your laptop charger break, stop working, or go missing. The best value for a new one is going to be from an online seller. Third party sellers make a nice living selling all sorts of laptop chargers, as well as other electronic chargers and cables to keep your tech life running.

4. Homemade products?

If you’re a maker yourself (or know someone who is), consider turning that?hobby into a business. When you have the ability to control nearly every aspect of the products you sell, you can make them more cost effective, improve their quality, or cater them to a certain audience by targeting demand in the market. Selling your creations is a great way to share your passion with others and make money too.

5. Cosmetics

Is there really room for another face cream? Another matte lipstick? How do you, a budding makeup brand founder, get your products to stand out in a crowded market? How does a new mascara get visibility among the literal thousands??Luckily, ecommerce solutions and access to manufacturing resources have?democratized beauty?in the past decade, opening up an industry once dominated by a few massive brands. And, surprisingly, there’s still room. Trends and?niche markets?spring up almost daily, ready for the taking. Those with the ability to go quick to market can jump on these trends and fill gaps in the industry.?

6. Start a clothing line

There are a few business models you can follow: (a) Hand produce and sell your designs direct to customers through your own website or online marketplaces or at markets and pop-ups; (b) Create collections and produce pieces of clothing through a manufacturer, then sell your clothing line wholesale to other retailers; (c) Design repeating patterns or graphics to print on blank t-shirts and other clothing items using a print-on-demand model, selling online through your own store; or (d) Consider reselling by buying wholesale if you are interested in the fashion world but have no interest or skills in design.

Best of all, producing your own products doesn’t have to be overwhelming. When you’re ready to scale, you can establish a process and onboard new employees to help with production.?Whatever the products you are selling, you can ship orders quickly without having to rent a warehouse of your own.?

Thanks to fulfilment centres, you can pick products you want to sell, and when you sell them,?the orders are fulfilled for you. Pick the right products, market your business right, and watch the profits roll in.
