How to Sell online and make a profit

     This is a perfect way to start making money especially if you don't have any money or you need cash quick. Selling online is a perfect platform to sell in because it thousands of people from all over the world can see your post. This is a perfect way for teens to make more in the comfort of there own home and could possibly make more than working in those fast food chains.so here are steps and tips on how to sell online.

1. Finding things to sell

 a. Selling your old/used things

TIP:Make sure your items are in good condition to sell.

This is a perfect way to get rid of your things that you haven't used in a while and a the same time you make money from getting rid of your stuff.  (Ex. Clothes, Shoes,Toys,Phones, Electronics,etc...) 

 b. Buy items that are on sale or in bulk

TIP: To find the items retail price scan its bar code to see how much it goes for in amazon.

If you see anything on the sale rack marked down for 40% or more buy it and sell it for retail or less.Go to stores like Target, Walmart and check their sale rack for some discounted items.or even go to thrift stores cause sometimes they have some hidden gems in there if you get lucky enough. Buying in bulk you need a little bit more to spend but the reward is worth it. All you need is to find the right products or niche to sell.

2. Posting the items online

 a. Taking a picture of the products

TIP: Use a white background when taking pictures.

This is a very important step because these are the pictures you are going to post online so you have to make them look marketable and attractive. If you are selling used items make sure to take a picture of the imperfection or damages on it so the buyer knows what they are buying. 

 b. Pricing the items

You should price your items fairly so people are attracted to buying the product but make sure you are still making a good amount of profit from it. If people are still not buying decrease the price by 10%.

3. Receiving the payments

If you have made your first sell then I recommend that your buyers use paypal (*this is not a sponsored ad) It is reliable and your customers get their money back if anything goes wrong.

4. Repeat

Goodluck now you have learned the basics of selling online and I hope you have found this helpful
