Best eBusinesses to Start

Here are opinions and answers from FAQ Farmers:

I would start a eBay store, eBay provide marketing that would not cost you that much, the next question you will ask is where can I find merchandise to sell on eBay, well, you can check Google or yahoo but if you search, you will only find result of suppliers all over the world.

good luck on your venture...!

  • That's an easy one - porn, by far.
  • Affiliate Marketing
  • eBay is an excellent place to try your hand at e-commerce. You can start out with just one or two small things - maybe something you have lying around the house. Big sellers are used Video Games, textbooks, or Sports Memorabilia, for example. Once you have sold a couple of items, you'll probably know if this is for you. If you decide to stick with it, the possibilities are endless. You can buy or sell almost anything on eBay - certainly more profitable than a yard sale. It's easy to learn how it works. There is a help link as well as forums/message boards on site and there are tons of books to be found about every aspect of buying and selling using online auctions. And eBay is not the only 'net auction site. Just run a search for internet or online auctions, and check out some of the others, too. Depending on how much time you want to devote to it, you can make pretty good money. I know some people who do this as a full-time job. But I wouldn't want to quit my job and jump right in without testing the waters first. I'd recommend starting small, like I mentioned earlier. Try it out, make a little extra money while you learn.

The most profitable e-business or Internet business is one that delivers products electronically, i.e. ebooks, software, reports, white papers, membership sites etc...

The reason being is that:

1. You have no overhead cost

2. Once you produce the product, the duplication is very little to nothing

3. You don't have to ship the products

I would dare say that a lot (most?) Internet gurus made their money selling these kinds of products.

That depends on many variables. First, there are many items that sell fast and often, but offer little in the way of profit, thus you have to have access to many of whatever item you are moving quickly. There are big items that sell for a large profit, but not often. Let's look at Ebay, for example. IPhones sell well on Ebay. New, used, refurbished, and locked or unlocked. However, unless you have access to a large pool of these phones, the most you can expect is a one-off sale.

My recommendation is to do your homework. There is a term called a "niche" market that successful sellers will tell you to scope out before you start selling. This will help you narrow your focus to a few or maybe one item that you can sell often for a good profit. It helps to have access to something that is either cheap or free and sustainable.
