Start a reselling business: Buy underpriced items and sell them where buyers pay more. You can start today with what is in your closet. 1) Sell what you already own to learn the platforms and raise your first money. 2) Choose one category you know, such as sneakers, vintage clothes or electronics. 3) Check what items really sold for, not the asking prices.

## The steps
1. Sell what you already own to learn the platforms and raise your first money.
2. Choose one category you know, such as sneakers, vintage clothes or electronics.
3. Check what items really sold for, not the asking prices.
4. Buy from flea markets and local listings only if you can see the margin after fees and shipping.
5. Take clean photos, and write honest descriptions including the flaws.
6. Only sell genuine items, and check local tax rules once you are selling regularly.
