Jewelry
Jewelry is considered an important ingredient in modern-day fashion. Allow me to quickly reinstate a well-known fact; “women love to look beautiful.” This is not us being stereotypical, this is us being factual. Jewelry has a way of bringing out the best and key features in women. You could cash in on this and create a collection of bracelets, earrings, necklaces, etc on Shopify. One quick way to make a lot of bucks is to do your homework by following the major trends in jewelry. Before we forget, invest a lot of money in photography too. Picture of your jewelry is everything.
Arts
You can reach millions of people online with arts. Be it graphic art, decorative art, sculptures, prints on t-shirts, mugs, or just photos. You will find a lot of customers for your product. If you are like most starters with little finance, you can start by working with established galleries.
Furniture
Selling furniture and fittings is another great way to make money on Shopify. Most people are fans of tasteful interior design; you can cash in on this fact and create a golden goose out of it. Just before you move on to the next point, here’s a good tip; your price should be lower than retail. Most people cannot undergo the stress of buying something online that costs an arm and a leg. Plus, remember to take good and honest pictures!
Pet foods
Are you a pet enthusiast? This is an opportunity to take your passion to another level! The pet industry brings in a whopping $27 billion annually. Plus, 67% of the 85 million households in America own a pet. This is the tip of the iceberg.
And, the good thing about the pet food business is you don’t need a large capital to start. With just a licensing fee and a fair amount of capital, you are good to go. However, there are a few things to consider; where to source pet foods, what kind of pet products do you want to sell, etc.
Cosmetics
The cosmetic industry is a very large one; the first step is to identify your niche and invest in it. You can also create a brand identity and start selling cosmetics online. The thing is, most people find it hard to go to physical stores to buy cosmetics, testing and trying out different products. Spotify has not only digitized the process but has also made it easy.
Skills
You can also sell your skills online. You can sell services; for example, you can sell your music online and earn money. Peradventure, you become very successful in your line of business, people may want to consult you for your time, in simpler terms you can sell consultations.
