Think about stuff that's popular where you are but not easy to find elsewhere. For example, if you live in a place known for cool jewelry, you could start selling it to people abroad who love artisan pieces. Sites like Etsy or eBay are perfect for getting your stuff out there. At first, keep it small to avoid big risks while you get the hang of things. Once you find good suppliers and a reliable way to ship, you can start growing your business.
