Instead, try an existing, reliable <a href="/nz/blog/low-investment-business-ideas">small business model</a>, such as importing popular products in bulk and selling them individually for a profit.</p><div id="text-cta" class="hidden lg:block"></div> <p>Find products that consumers already want to buy, then purchase them by negotiating a deal with the <a href="/nz/blog/wholesale-suppliers">wholesaler</a>. After that, <a href="/start">create an online store</a> to promote your catalog and sell to customers.</p> <p>The key to a successful home retail business is savvy product selection. Can you identify the next <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.retaildive.com/news/stanley-quencher-tumblers-viral-success/699416/" target="_blank">Stanley Quencher</a> or fashionable <a href="/nz/blog/better-booch-farmers-markets-capital-funding">beverage</a>? Tips for sourcing profitable products include:</p> <ul> <li>Analyzing social media for <a href="/nz/blog/trending-products">trending products</a> </li> <li>Importing products that are popular in foreign markets</li> <li>Serving the needs of a <a href="/nz/blog/niche-markets">niche market</a> </li> </ul> <p>If your customers would benefit from in-person browsing, you can even use your home as a showroom. That’s how home retail business <a href="/nz/blog/scaling-systems-shopify">Artemis Design Co.</a> got its start.</p> <p>“I was living in the south end of Boston, and I had my living room just full of these products,” says owner and founder Milicent Armstrong. “I would have people come over if they wanted to look at something or try something on, and that’s how I <a href="/nz/blog/make-your-first-sale">made my first sale</a>.”</p> <h3 id="6">2.

From homemade soaps and candles to handcrafted jewelry and artwork, the possibilities are endless.</p> <p>Items crafted in your studio, workshop, or kitchen can become well-known products, with the right <a href="/nz/blog/what-is-branding">branding</a> and marketing. Selling independent goods can also be cost-effective, as you won’t need to buy from wholesalers and can control nearly every aspect of production and pricing.</p> <p>Craft brand <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" href="https://pegandawlbuilt.com/" target="_blank">Peg and Awl</a> began as a way for husband and wife Walter and Margaux Kent to sell items they’d made using reclaimed materials in their home workshop.

But what if you want to start an online business without spending money on large amounts of stock?</p> <p><a href="/nz/blog/what-is-dropshipping">Dropshipping</a> is the go-to business model for home business owners who don’t want to deal with inventory. In a dropshipping business, retailers promote and sell products that are produced and shipped by a third party. In other words, a <a href="/nz/blog/dropshipping-suppliers">dropshipping supplier</a> will give you a commission for making a sale, while they take care of storing and shipping the product to customers.</p> <p>Many home dropshipping businesses find success by targeting a niche, such as "cute and kawaii merchandise" retailer <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" href="https://subtleasiantreats.com/" target="_blank">Subtle Asian Treats</a>. Curate products from different suppliers to create a collection of related items on your website.</p> <p><a href="https://apps.shopify.com/stories/guide-dropshipping">Shopify dropshipping apps</a> connect you with suppliers, so can source and import products into your online store.</p> <div class="marketing-block marketing-block--light marketing-block--padded my-12 border-l-2 pl-4 [&_h2]:!mt-0 [&_h2]:mb-6 [&_h2]:text-t5 [&_h3]:!mt-0 [&_h3]:mb-6 [&_h3]:text-t7 [&_h4]:!mt-0 [&_h4]:mb-6 [&_h4]:text-t8 [&_ul]:!mt-0 [&_ul]:mb-6 [&_ul:last-child]:mb-0 [&_ol]:!mt-0 [&_ol]:mb-6 [&_ol:last-child]:mb-0 [&_p]:!mt-0 [&_p]:mb-6 [&_p:last-child]:mb-0 border-blog-highlight"> <p><strong>Dropshipping to $1M: Kamil Sattar’s marketing success</strong></p> <p>Kamil Sattar, AKA The Ecom King, transformed his floundering dropshipping venture into a $1 million business.

When you make a sale, the <a href="/nz/blog/print-on-demand-companies">print-on-demand company</a> will print and ship the item to the customer on your behalf.</p> <p>There are many print-on-demand products you can sell: books, hats, backpacks, blankets, pillows, mugs, shoes, hoodies, phone cases, and more.</p> <p>Many print-on-demand businesses focus on serving a specific niche or, better yet, a shared identity. Rebecca Lee Funk launched <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.the-outrage.com/" target="_blank">The Outrage</a>, a women’s rights apparel brand that sells print-on-demand t-shirts.

Service platforms may be even simpler to set up than retail businesses, because there’s no inventory to create or manage.</p> <p>One way to develop a home service business is to leverage your existing talents. If your employment contract permits you to offer your skills independently, you could set up a website to sell your time and experience.</p> <p>Monetize your DIY, technical, language, or musical skills with a website that offers assistance or lessons. Popular service-based home business ideas include:</p> <ul> <li>Freelance writing</li> <li><a href="/nz/blog/how-to-hire-virtual-assistant-services">Virtual assistance</a></li> <li>Marketing</li> <li>Design</li> <li>Translation</li> <li>SEO consulting</li> <li>Web design and development</li> <li>Graphic design</li> </ul> <p>Another benefit of service-based businesses is that you don’t necessarily need a large number of customers to make a profit. Depending on the service you’re providing, a handful of high-quality clients can be sufficient to support yourself full time while working from home.</p> <h3 id="10">6.

You might provide live courses at a premium rate, while customers can purchase recorded sessions at a discounted price. If you prefer teaching small groups, consider mentorship, masterclasses, or an online tutoring business.</p> <p>Alternatively, create a fully downloadable online course for purchase, be it a video walkthrough, templates, articles, or how-tos.
