Online Work at Home: Choosing a Product to Sell

I am sitting in my office (home office, that is) making CDs to take to a book show in Montana. Actually, I made over 100 CDs, complete with cases in the past two days! And I am only about half-way through! The topic of these CDs is low-budget internet marketing for small business.

I also have CDs and video tutorials that cover a wide range of topics from parenting, making biblical decisions, the biblical view of debt, and how the Old Testament saints were saved…to the value of practical skills for your children, small businesses that kids can start, how to turn a recording into a product and is ebay right for you.

As if that’s not enough, I’m using my experience as a contractor to create home remodeling audios. After all this time, that specialized knowledge still comes in handy!

Would you like to know how much equipment it takes to churn out 100 CDs in two days?

- A personal computer, just like the one you’re reading this with.

- A printer, also like yours.

- A CD-burner (You can use your personal computer, but I don’t want to burn mine up with so many copies.  So I bought one at Office Depot for a hundered bucks)

- DVD cases at 37 cents a piece

- Blank CDs, $.17 each.

- Finally, CD labels, at $.20 each.

Add it up – that’s not a huge capital outlay to create all of these CDs. Creating an ebook is even cheaper. Why don’t you give it a try?  Think about your own situation. What are your skills? What specialized knowledge do you have, and how can that start your own online business?

It doesn’t require a large capital outlay to record an interview, a “how to” audio or video, or an e-book. Simply find your area of expertise, seek your niche, and go for it!

The Internet is a huge place, and there are many niches. Whatever your expertise, there is a demand. Spend some time doing research and making a plan. You can learn how to make money on the Internet by following a few simple steps.

You must believe in yourself. Others just like you have created e-books, audios, tutorials, home study courses, even seminars. Try selling other people’s products, or earn commissions by recommending other products. There are many small businesses that kids can start, and many low budget Internet marketing strategies for small businesses. Find the one that works for you, and you too can become an Internet success.

All you need now is confidence, the knowledge you can do whatever you want. The first step is always the hardest. Maybe try starting with a free blog, a great way to test the waters! Whatever you choose, I have faith in you. You CAN do this, and we can show you how. Let’s get started!
