I have stock of a few physical products for sale as part of a small publishing company I took over - some posters and books related to the State of Idaho. As of yet my sales have been local and created by visiting places that carry locally related items - bookstores, gift stores etc. I'm not much of salesman but the products are good quality and sell themselves to some extent.

Besides a couple eBay auctions there has been no online or other promotion of these items and it is is time to change that. I would like to create some more revenue by expanding the customer base as well as selling some more product directly for retail vs wholesale price.

Starting out there are several ways I will consider doing this:

• Online Auction Sites
• Third Party Storefronts
• Online Classifieds
• Creating my own storefront hosted on my own site

Before I start listing items I will:

• Do Inventory.
• Organize Documentation - Take photos, write up descriptions.
• Make sure there are the necessary shipping supplies available.
• Make a list of where to start selling and start at the top .

So, those are some initial thoughts on the process. I will continue to post on the subject as the project moves forward.
If you are considering selling products online or already do I would love to hear any ideas or advice. Leave a comment or drop me a line through the Contact Page.
