2. Selling Other People’s Products (Dropshipping)
Dropshipping is the easiest business one can do in this era. In fact, I call it a “lazy way of making money”.
You neither need a Kobo nor a store to start this business, neither do you need to bother yourself about the delivery service. All that is required from you is to look for a seller, market his product, get a buyer and refer the buyer to the seller.
The seller takes it up from there. All the packaging and delivery is done by the seller. Just cross your legs and let the seller complete the process while you wait for your commission to be sent to you by the seller.
Mind you, you can do this business with more than one seller, but you must be careful in choosing a seller to work with, as some sellers have integrity issue and hence are not trustworthy.
3. Website/Graphics Design
So many people want to have websites for their businesses for visibility purposes and this is where the business aspect comes in.
Majority have the belief that web and graphic design can only be done by computer geeks. Position yourself as an expert and start making money by designing websites.
You also need a website for your business, you may think you don’t need a website now, but later in the future, you will realize that you need it.
