10 Things to Make and Sell From Home
Want to make money from home? One easy and fun way you can do that is to come up with items to make and sell from home
FAQs
Now that you know some of the most popular items to make, let’s talk about some other practicals.
Where should I sell my items?
There are so many online marketplaces out there that make it easy to sell crafts and handmade goods.
The top platform for selling handmade items is no doubt Etsy (read more about how one mom is making money from her Etsy shop), but there are many others, such as BigCommerce, Shopify, and Storenvy, to name a few.
Want to take a break from selling handmade items online? Try the farmer’s markets, craft fairs, or holiday shows.
How do I know which items I should sell?
Deciding the right things to make and sell online depends on your goals as well as your situation. Let me explain.
If you’re a one-person show, you’ll want to choose something you know you can handle creating alone on a time frame (if you’re shipping items to customers).
But, on the other hand, if you have a small business or people who work for you, you might be able to up the ante a bit and scale your business a little bigger.
Start small, then scale up as you find what works for you!
Who is this a good career for?
This type of work is ideal for many people because the initial investment is minimal, and you can make your items when time allows.
From stay-at-home moms who want to craft during nap time to budding young entrepreneurs to retirees looking to supplement their income, the only limit to what you can earn is your creativity and drive.
