Operating an online store presents an excellent opportunity for a source of passive income, but many people don’t know where to start. Just a few easy steps can get you off the ground and turning a profit quickly. Read on to find out just how to break into online sales and gain financial freedom. Also check out the sidebars on additional tips to making money online, how to kickstart your company brand, and how you should pay yourself as a business owner.

1. Choose an Awesome Product

If you have a lot of competition or a low demand, it will make selling a greater challenge.

You can obtain this information from software like the SaleHoo Market Research Lab, which allows you to compare products by sale price, competition, number of listings and bids.
