With the economy creating havoc with many people’s finances, more and more people are looking for creative ways to add to their income. One way that can help supplement a lean financial picture is to consider selling with PayPal. If you have a hobby or avocation that is available in digital format, consider putting your work online.

What can I sell?

Consider selling with PayPal.

• Musicians can market complete albums or sell one song at a time. That is especially convenient for musicians who want to get their music into the market but don’t have the time to develop full-blown careers around it.
• Writers self-publish now more than ever before. They don’t need to deal with their novels morphing from the masterpieces they penned into something unrecognizable. But with self-publishing comes self-promotion and self-marketing. It’s up to the writer to get the books sold. Selling with PayPal can help writers get books into the market without carrying around boxes of books. Selling eBooks doesn’t require packaging books and shipping them off to buyers.
• Photographers’ pictures are saleable in all kinds of markets. Many website owners and bloggers look for just the right image to enhance content. Photography skills could create a welcomed second income by selling with PayPal.
• Videos, software and games can be sold online. Instead of just doodling around with your friends and family, software developers can use their original digital creations to add to their income.

How can I get started?

Create a business plan to give you an idea of how to market your product. The depth of your business plan depends on how involved you wish to become in this new undertaking. Sometimes, small hobby projects are so well received they become full-blown business ventures.

Once you determine the kind of digital goods you will sell, you can contact an e-commerce company like PayLoadz.com to help you get your online business up and running. Such companies make selling and buying online easy. You will have options like setting up your own website for marketing or using your existing website or blog page. You can also link to affiliates to help drive potential customers to your blog or website.

Is it expensive?

There will be fees to set up your online selling opportunity. This is a natural part of doing business. Fees associated with selling with PayPal, however, are minimal. Use your hobbies or talents, and translate them into marketable digital goods to generate additional income.
