Which should I do?

[Klancenet]

Ok well I'm 18 years old and I've been trying to make money online for a few years now and have been unsuccessful for the most part. Recently I've been looking into and getting serious about starting an Ebay based business (selling items that I buy from wholesale). But I'm not sure if this is for me since I still live with my parents and their isn't much storage space for me to keep all this stuff, and I don't have much money to invest into it (about $500 - $600).

I've also been considering starting a website (I've been messing around with web design since I was about 15). I'm not sure what kind of website yet, I'm not very good at getting the word out about my website, such as SEO and things like that. But I feel that this is much better for my budget seeing as I can do all the designing myself and hosting will only be about $10 a month.

I'm just trying to get some sort of profit going since my job is kind of slowing down, I'm only working a few days a week. Could someone give me some advice as to what I should do? All suggestions are welcome.

Thanks.

Whatever you decide to do, make sure you have a plan going in. There's no point in starting another unsuccessful business. If you decide to sell products on eBay, do some research and determine what your competitive advantage is and how you can sustain that advantage.

Yeah I've been researching ebay business for about 2 months now, and I'm just not sure if wholesalers will take me seriously since I will only be buying in small bulk at first and because of my age.

Find what your passionate about and then figure out a way to monetize that passion somehow. The book in my sig file will help you do that.

self storage; is like those big warehouses that people rent to put stuff in. If you go to that site, their is a link that has auctions from what people have left, forgot.
