Your computer can help you make more money! You can use the internet to supplement your income in your spare time, or you can start a full-fledged business. If you're a creator or have expertise in any subject, you can cash in on it! Millions of potential customers are only a click away, you just have to learn how to reach them.

If you are simply hoping to supplement your income, check out free platforms, such as Facebook Marketplace or Craigslist. If you want to start a full-time business, then paying a small fee for an eCommerce website or storefront, would be worth it. 

Here are some examples of different sites for different products/niches:

Antiques and Collectibles


Collectibles such as sports memorabilia refurbished antique furniture, and gold and silver coins, are hot commodities right now. eBay, Ruby Lane, ArtFire, and Zibbet are a few of the favored platforms for sellers.
