But, it's important to emphasize that, regardless of the way you choose to make money, you need to have good planning.
It is through this planning that you will be able to organize yourself regarding the next steps that this new endeavor will take. Another very relevant point is time management.
Only through a lot of organization will you be able to succeed in this new challenge.
Now enough stalling and let's get to know the ideas I've put together for you!
Ideas on what to sell to make money in 2021
For those who want to dive headfirst into the world of sales and make money in 2021, there's no shortage of options!
To show you, we have gathered some alternatives in various areas, from the simplest to the most elaborate.
Sale of products by catalog
This practice, which was very present in the early 2000s here in Brazil, remains strong after almost 20 years.
Selling products through a catalog can be a good option for those looking for extra income, or even for those who are unemployed and looking for a source of income.
A positive point of this option is its ease.
With the popularization of the internet and social media, it's become much easier to send and share a digital version of these magazines to reach new customers and boost sales!
Set up a thrift store (online or offline)
The idea may not seem very attractive to everyone, but I'll show you that this can be a good option for those who want to make money.
Your wardrobe can hide a great way to make money – especially if you're one of those people who loves buying new clothes frequently.
Following a growing trend of more conscious consumption, people are increasingly looking to buy clothes, shoes, and accessories at thrift stores both in-person and online.
In addition to the appeal already mentioned, the fashion factor is also leading more and more people to opt for thrift store items, whether to use – in a vintage style – or to customize.
So, if you have a wardrobe full of clothes that you no longer wear, it might be the right time to practice the famous detachment and turn these pieces – such as clothes, shoes, accessories, books, CDs and DVDs – into money for you.
Food in general
This tip is especially for those who are great in the kitchen! The informal sale of food has always been very popular here in Brazil.
After all, food is essential for everyone. So, if you enjoy—and have a talent for—cooking and want to earn some money to end 2021 financially strong, why not invest in this area?
And the best part is that the options are – almost – endless: you can sell sweets, snacks, custom cakes, jar cakes, snacks, traditional and healthy lunch boxes…
It depends on your creativity—and your skill in the kitchen. Regardless of your choice, if you do a good job, interested clients are sure to come!
A great opportunity for those who want to enter this field are the end-of-year parties.
With Christmas and New Year approaching, many people end up choosing to order a wide variety of dishes, from desserts to full dinners.
Another option is to buy ready-made sweets and resell them for a higher price than you paid for them. As I said before, food is essential. So, your chances of doing well are high!
Crafts and decorative pieces
If you, unlike the people in the previous topic, don't have the necessary gifts to become a MasterChef, but your skills are different, this option may be a good alternative for you!
And before you start saying that crafts are for older people, I'm telling you that you're very wrong!
I bet you've heard the term DIY around, right? The acronym, which stands for "do it yourself," has become a real craze among young people.
Therefore, if you are interested in this area of crafts and decoration, it could be a very interesting path for you to follow.
Another positive point is the variety: you can choose from easier – and, consequently, cheaper – things to sell, to more difficult ones, which require more time and experience.
And you can see: your clientele will range from grandmothers to young people from Generation Z.
The right tools to sell and make money in 2021
Regardless of which option you choose, one almost indispensable tip is: use the internet as an ally!
Social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, WhatsApp, and TikTok—the current favorite—are excellent tools for anyone looking to sell and make money in 2021.
Through it, you can promote your products quickly, easily, and best of all: free of charge!
Have you ever imagined if, thanks to a post on one of these networks, your decorative objects or cakes went viral? Starting 2022 by opening a new business wouldn't be bad at all, right?
It's always a possibility. Therefore, prioritize these platforms when promoting your business.
So, what did you think of the options I brought you today? Which one suits your style best?
