Selling Products
Selling products means finding items to sell, either by making them yourself, buying them from a supplier, or using a drop-shipping model where a third party ships products directly to customers. You can sell through online marketplaces like Facebook Marketplace, Takealot, or your own e-commerce website.
EXAMPLE
A mom who enjoys crafts decides to sell handmade candles and soap. She creates an Instagram page and uses Facebook Marketplace to sell her products. Alternatively, a dad might buy wholesale electronics and sell them for a profit through online platforms.
