General Description:  Until quite recently, people who wanted to sell products were limited to catalogs, craft fairs and brick-and-mortar stores.  No more.  The Internet empowers you to sell and market your products to a global audience 24/7 in a myriad of formats.  You can:

• Set up a website to sell your unique crafts, products and inventions.
• Develop an online catalog targeted to a specific market niche (i.e., cigar enthusiasts or dachsund lovers.)  You can either sell products that you own or you can sell as an affiliate by linking to other sites that handle the actual order fulfillment (and you receive a commission on the sales).
• eBay Merchant - Recycle your "treasures" though eBay or work as a "trade assistant" to help other people sell their goods on eBay.

Options for Flexibility:  

Selling on the Internet can relieve you of the long-hours associated with being a traditional retailer.  In general, the more you automate your systems, the higher the degree of flexibility you'll incorporate into your work.
