You can get contact with such persons and can make a deal that they will provide you their designs and then you will sell those online and get your commission.

Or you can sell ladies jewelry or any other handmade products in which you believe you are good.

You have to offer them and convince them that there will be no charges for listing the product or for using your website. Just they have to pay you a small commission amount lets say only 5% whenever they sell a product using your store.

In this way, you only need to invest in promoting your store and no need to invest in buying products. People will sell their own products and you will earn a commission from each sale.

So what are you waiting for? Buy your hosting plan and register a domain to install your eCommerce online store using PrestaShop.
