You can sell on Amazon as a merchant and use them to actually warehouse and ship the product for you. All you need to do is check inventory and order more product from the manufacturer(s).
Or a good job is someone has the skills is to be an independent sales rep for a number of small companies and go to trade shows or similar events around the country. With the destruction of the worker economy in the Bush years many companies laid off their salaried sales reps but still need people to go around and service their dealers.
One could rep lines of fishing gear for example and make stops at tackle shops or rep tools or gadgets and make stops at hardware stores.
All you need are some decent computer and people skills.
It can take a year or two to get it going to the point where it will provide you with the income you want. I started a business 8 years ago and designed tools which I have manufactured overseas and then shipped to two contract warehouses in the states. I use an internet website and an e-store and Amazon to sell the products and the two warehouses to fill the orders and ship them out.
Our income is half what is was when my wife and I were working full time in high tech but it is more than enough as we have no debts. We can run the business from anywhere in the world where we are in the world and do so with about 8 hours a week of our time.
There are many others selling on Amazon and eBay that are making good incomes from home. The toughest part is already there in place and waiting to be taken advantage of. Don't expect to get filthy rich but you can make a comfortable living.
