Let them supply you with the details and photos, and then post ads for them online on sites like Jiji, as well as on social media. When they sell the items thanks to your services, you will get a commission, which can sometimes reach 20% of the price.

Then, when the customer wants to buy the product, you simply place an order at the wholesaler’s website and include the delivery details of the customer. That way, you sell the product without actually having any inventory.
5. Cooking
