You can also capitalize on your professional and natural skills. Are you good with computers, interior decorating, or event planning? There are tons of potential clients out there that would rather hire those skills out than deal with them. Because you have all of the knowledge and skills necessary, you won’t need to invest extra time or money into learning the task.

The best part is that you can take photos of anything you want!

EBooks are another great thing to sell on the web.
You can create your own or you can buy the master rights to eBooks about subjects you’re interested in.

If you’re the creative type, try selling your own handmade crafts. Etsy is a site dedicated to connecting buyers with handmade goods but you can even use Facebook or Myspace for it .
