Yes. You can do it. And since I like the idea of showing how, and someone else though it would be interesting, I'll go through it.
This will take me a few posts to go through, from locating an apropriate website, identifying a product, producing the product, and putting it up for sale.
Points to note:
-
This is not hugely cost effective, you'll be giving away ~25-30% of your revenue to someone else in exchange for not doing payment processing
-
I don't recommend this for long term use, but it works well for getting some cashflow up front.
You WILL need:
-
A PayPal account (if you want to get the money quickly)
-
The ability to program, or someone who will do the work in exchange for a profit share.
Things you need to do:
-
Locate a website that acts as a "marketplace" and processes the payments for you
-
Research the products that sell well
-
Create a product specification
-
Create the product (or get it created)
-
Package it
-
Set it up on the website
-
Write sales copy for it
