The best way to get started in any home-business is to start with someone else's products.

That's especially if you haven't run your own brick-and-mortar business before - or even if you have. Online business is its own type of beasty to master, even if most of the elements are similar to regular business ones.

You have to know these skills:

How to have a product which people want enough to buy.
How to market that product to the niche that is looking for it.
How to price that product accurately.
How to service your customer and handle any concerns.

Like regular business, you have to find out what's wanted and deliver it - then care for that customer and turn them into a regular client.
