This method is very rewarding depending on the products you choose to sell. It is a competetive world and you have to make sure you choose products that are in demand. Personalised products are always a winner as customers today ditch high street shopping to get that rare personalised gift especialy if you can offer your products for any occassion whether it be birthdays, anniversarys, christmas and so on. You will however have to put some cahs in to start up for materials and so forth. You will end up running it with it taking up the majority of your time if your successful so dont go down this path if your not prepared to be able to get orders made and out and to meet deadlines. Customers can be for life. Always have the attitude that a small order can lead to bigger orders and most definately customer referals and word of mouth wil help your business stay arround for a long time.
The second way you can sell products via your website is by dropshipping. This is where you basicaly take orders for items you dont have and use third parties to send the goods direct to your customers. Most high selling poersellers on ebay do this. You must check out the dropshipper and make sure you trust them, alot of angry customers not receiving the items they have paid for will shut you down before you have begun. Dont be put off by this, it can be very rewarding, just think, no start up costs, no having to store all those items, no wrapping and posting and no bulk left over items that you cant sell. Worth considering but again check them out first, read customer reviews, buy a few items from them for yourself before you list the items for sale.
