I love selling products online. Especially when I don't have to stock it in my home or warehouse, or even pay for it upfront. Selling products online without an inventory is easier then you may think.
Selling products online without inventory is simply affiliate marketing. You can promote and sell other peoples products without ever handling or stocking the product. You can promote other companies physical or digital products and all you have to do is promote the link that is tracked to you and when someone purchases you get paid.
THE TWO TYPES OF PRODUCTS
There are really only two types of products you can sell online with no need to inventory it. There is a third "thing" you can sell online which is a "service" but since this article is about products you don't have to inventory I'm only going to focus on products that customers buy to use for themselves.
You can sell online physical products. Things that people buy online and it gets shipped to their home or business to use. You can also sell digital products such as software, eBooks, or training courses that customers download to their computer or get a login access and use as an application or to learn with.
PHYSICAL PRODUCTS
Selling physical products can be a great way to make money online and many companies who sell physical products online do stock them and ship them out themselves. I used to work for a small company where the owner started in his garage.
He ordered his product from a wholesale company where they would ship the product to his home, he would stock the product in his garage, sell them on his website for a little more and when an order came in he packed and shipped the product out himself.
It was a lot of work but he eventually worked his way up from his garage to a warehouse and many employees. But there is a better and less expensive way to market and sell products online without the need for warehouses and employees.
The best example is Amazon. Amazon has what is called an affiliate program. It is free to join and once you become an affiliate you can promote just about any of their products online and if someone makes a purchase from your link you get a small commission.
And with a little due diligence on your part you can find many other companies who offer affiliate programs where you can market one or many products and get paid for it. And the best part about doing it this way is unlike the example above where you have to have a warehouse and employees which can become very expensive and time consuming you can do it in a way that creates passive income.
Meaning your using the power of the Internet to make sales, and get the product shipped out to the customer without the need to physically be there to do the work or oversee the work.
DIGITAL PRODUCTS
Selling digital products online are my favorite way to make money on the Internet. Digital products are great because they pay out much higher commissions then physical products. The customer can access the product instantly after purchasing, and you can even create your own digital product to market and sell and keep 100% of the money.
Physical products will pay as little as 1-3% commission where a digital product could pay anywhere from 40-90% commission. And if you have your own digital product such as an eBook you get 100% of the profit. So with a digital product you don't need to sell in bulk like you would with the physical product to make a substantial amount of money.
Where there may be a limited supply of physical products there is literally an infinite supply of a digital products. For example if you have an eBook or course you are marketing and selling it can be digitally recreated over and over again, or the customer can just log in to access their learning platform. A digital product is like saving and sending an image. If you take a picture with your smart phone you can send that image to thousands of people, post it on social media etc and still have a copy for your self. It's no different with a digital product.
WHAT PRODUCT/S SHOULD YOU SELL?
You probably already know which product I would recommend to sell without needing to inventory it. Digital products are what I lean towards. Digital products offer the highest commissions, they are easy to promote, the customer does not have to wait for the product to be shipped, and there is a limitless supply. You can even create your own digital product to sell.
However there is nothing that says you can't market and sell both digital and physical products but I find it best to focus on one type of product and be an authority on that product, and with digital products offering the best commissions its a no brainer for me.
