Ideas For Self Employment

Out of work? Try my ideas for self employment. You will be glad you did!

How is hope and change working out for you? Not so well? Don't wait for your employer to call you back to work. Don't wait for a government handout. Take charge of your destiny. Become self employed!

I was like millions of others, I lost my job years ago. I know what it is like to lose a paycheck. I also know what it is like to earn money from my own home business. You will never grow tired of receiving checks in your mail, or direct deposits into your bank account from profits online.

Even if you have a job, it is wise to prepare for the day you may not have it. Extra income is always welcomed. Grow a business and you will have income even during your retirement. Why not start a legitimate home based business?

Become A Computer Reseller Online

In researching for ideas for self employment, I came across a business opportunity that I believe could work very well from home. Become a computer reseller! It isn't any secret that computers, software, and digital cameras are very popular online. I have bought both computers and software online myself. Perhaps you have too.

Some of the major computer and software companies started as a home business. HP, Gateway, PC connection and Dell are just a few well known names that started small and became household names.

Sell Online!

Now you don't need to build computers or write time consuming software. You just need to open an online store/website that gets free internet traffic to sell computers, components, and software.

The best place to learn how to create a website/store that works is Site Build It! (new window opens)

I wrote an article on selling online. Read my article Make Money Sell Goods Online.

No Inventory Needed!

The nice thing about this business opportunity, you do not need to invest in or stock any inventory! All of your products will be drop-shipped to your customer. You have over 225,000 brand name products that you can sell online.

What is drop shipping? Basically you take the order online. Collect the full retail price, then send the order to your supplier along with the wholesale payment. Your supplier will then ship the products to your customer under your name and label.

I once worked for a company that sold office furniture. Every item in their 100 page plus catalog was drop-shipped. They did not stock any inventory. The orders came by phone, mail, and the internet. The orders were automatically faxed in the evening to the various manufacturers. These manufacturers then shipped the products directly to the customer.

Most likely in your early years, you will not be dealing directly with manufacturers. You are just too small for large manufacturers. Rather you will be working with wholesalers and distributors.

Find Your Reseller Niche

The computer reseller business is very broad. With over 225,000 products to pick from, it is best to find a small niche to fill. Don't be all things to all people, but rather carve a niche that interests you and excel at that niche.

Here are some ideas for self employment as a computer reseller.

Sell Downloadable Software

With over 150,000 titles to pick from, you need to specialize. Perhaps you like to specialize in computer games. Or perhaps you would like to sell utilities like file compression or privacy software. Business software is always in demand. The possibilities to find a niche shouldn't be hard. Add the ability to download software now and it gives your customers instant gratification. It won't hurt your pocket book either!

Sell Custom Made Computers

Some people like myself prefer to buy custom made computers. I'm looking for the fastest workstation that I can buy on a reasonable budget. Off the shelf cheap computers just don't make the grade with me.

Some young folks want lightening fast computers with large memories and disk space for their computer games. You can help people design their own computers and of course order from you. You just take the orders and cash in.

Sell Computer Components

A third self employment idea is to sell just computer components. When my monitor died, I bought a new monitor. When my video card ceased to work, I bought a new video card. Not a whole system.

Hard drives are known to crash. Even if they don't, computer programs are so large, that an extra drive becomes a necessity especially for hard drive backups.

Add a joy stick for that flight simulator software and you can sell two products. You get the idea. Remember the sum of individual components usually exceeds the cost of a complete system. That means more profit for you.
