Hi all new to the forum and look forward to learning and hopefully even make a little bit of money in the future with some help.
My position at the moment is im a sole trader working the tools at the moment and am finding it increasingly difficult to find work and sustain myself as my current trade feels its slowing to a halt.
Having a lot more time on my hands iv been researching into alterernate ways of making money. One of the first options and most obvious is buying and selling. I dont have a lot of money to throw at the beginning, but hope to try improve that as I go along. I am also under no illusion of getting rich quick or getting something for nothing, I understand its going to take risks, money and time in order to maybe make a decent profit.
I have looked into purchasing from abroad possibly using dhgate and selling over here either via physically going and promoting it and selling it and to also maybe use online auctions and such in order to sell. Maybe by using ebay and search engine trends try to get an understanding of demand and then maybe try to obtain the said product and try and sell.
Is this a feasible option or am I making it sound way too easy?
Is dhgate good or is it full of fakers and overpriced items just about everybody is selling already?
can you recommend any other methods or websites for this?
Another option i kept hearing about is spreadbetting. Now after doing little research, I have come across 2 views. Either people say stay well away especially if your a newbie, others saying its a brilliant way to make money once you understand what your doing. Now obviously I wont know what im doing until I go through the newbie stages and make my mistakes and learn.
So what is the general feeling about spreadbetting, if im willing to demo first, goto seminars and learn, risk low and so on, is it worth it for me?
What ids the bets way to get started apart from seminars and such, are there any other ways to learn?
Iv also read there are less risky investments that could be made, could anyone please give me examples?
I am constantly trying to learn and understand and come up with ideas to stay afloat. If anyone has any ideas or suggestions into what I could look into doing for extra income that would be brilliant and appreciated.
Thanks in advance
