ebooks. you can buy ones with master resale rights (look for this phrase) and sell it as many times as you like. just burn it to CD/DVD and you re in buisness. antique books, over 100 years old and out of print, are also often sold as ebooks. It s legal as long there is no active copyright. (check if you at all unsure.)
I suggest you spend some time looking around on eBay, Kat. It s truly amazing to see the variety of items being sold! Check out the completed auctions to get an idea of what s being sold successfully and at what price.This research should give you some good ideas.While I don t disagree with what thisisonlyatest suggests, the problem is many of the items you can buy the master re-sell rights to are already being widely sold - and usually at depressed prices. If you can find an out of print book on a niche topic and sell that, however, you could do very well.Think about things readily at hand. For example, I noticed some time ago that pine cones were selling on eBay. Since we have a number of pine trees on our property, I spent a Sunday morning picking up cones that were lying on the ground. Last month I started offering them on eBay (just in time for the holiday craft season). I d estimate I ve sold well over a thousand cones so far!That s just an example of seeing what is selling, thinking how I could sell the same thing - and then doing it. The time, effort, cost and risk were all minimal - but the payoff was very good!You can do the same thing!Information products that you create yourself can also be very profitable. Use your hobbies, experience, knowledge and eBay research to create a document, audio CD, video or other information product. If it s created by you, it ll be unique (only you will be selling it) and you have complete control over it. Therefore you can set your price and there s nowhere else someone can buy it - just from you.These are just a couple of ideas to get you started thinking. Good luck and I d be happy to hear about your experience!
