The cost of living just keeps on rising, yet our wages are never quite able to meet it. Plus we are living in a global pandemic. It’s not an accident, the economy (certainly in the US) is acting against us, repressing our wages to insulate the profit margins of our employers. We may not be starving as a result, but we certainly feel the pinch. We face the choice between economizing and driving down our living costs by making sacrifices or burying the household under an avalanche of debt… But what if there was a better way? A way in which you could make more money and even lay the foundation for a profitable business of your very own in your free time from the comfort of your own home?
The beauty of living in the digital world is that it is so rife with opportunity. So long as you have a working internet connection and a good idea, there are the right tools, sources of inspiration and information and opportunities out there for virtually anyone to make money and take the first steps into a potentially lucrative career.

Here are some side hustles that are rich with potential but require very few overhead costs.
Sell with FBA
If you’re a regular Amazon shopper, you’ve likely seen affordable goods provided by other Amazon users but fulfilled by the company itself.

Check out this item and you’ll see how anyone can make good money through Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA) as well as why so many fail. With persistence and tenacity you could become extremely successful selling goods through one of the world’s biggest online retailers.
