    Hello everybody,
    I am one of those people who wants to earn money online, and I want to sell some services on ebay. But I don't know what should I sell? I also have a paypal account which I want to receive money on!

    So do you know what service should I sell?

    When you are just getting started in online marketing the easiest
    to sell are affiliate products.

    Choose a niche of buyers with a strong need. Usually to resolve a
    problem. IE. pc problems,health remedies etc.

    Hope this helps

    I agree with cyberlight, when you are a beginner your best bet is always to join affiliate or referral programs. You do not have to invest any money, EXCEPT to promote the products. You do not have to worry about delivering, products or any of the logistical things involved in owning a business. You can continue to invest in promotion and save up some money from your earnings. Eventually you can launch your own product or site. However, I know of a lot of people who make a good income with affiliate and referral programs they never bother to have their own thing.

    If you don't already have a valuable good or service to sell then you might as well sell someone else's product for a comission. It's really difficult to start your own company from scratch if you don't have any experience. Being an affiliate has many benefits:

    -You don't need to make your own good or service
    -You don't have to deal with customer service (so you have more time to focus on the marketing aspect of the business)
    -You can get started in a niche that already has been proven to be successfull
    -Affiliate marketing is a great way to get into the internet marketing niche. Once you have become a successful affiliate you can start thinking about making your own product or service.

    Good luck with your new venture ~!

    You seem to be more keen on services instead of products - what are your special skills? If you have skills like writing, graphic design, wordpress blogs, setting up websites, driving traffic and things like that you can always get work through sites like Elance or through forums like this one. If you have a gazillion twitter followers or facebook friends you could go to somewhere like fiverr and put up gigs there to make some loose change. If you have a particularly sought after skill you could create your own information product about it and sell that in all sorts of places including here, ebay, ejunkie and more.

    Good luck
    Lisa

    If you are a good writer sell articles, if you are a good seo person sell seo, etc. Use any skills you have and freelance in Digitalpoint. Its the best way to learn how to make money online.

    Yeah, if you mean "services" as in things that you can personally do...then that's easy...sell what you're good at and what you know.

    If you mean 'services' as in products then affiliate(selling other people's stuff).

    Be careful of what you sell on eBay though...they have TONS of rules. You could try some other auction sites(search on Google) for "free auction sites no listing fees".

    There are quite a few, but if ur just beginning and don't have a lot of money to spend, I'd do that.
