21. Try Short Selling

Short Selling is a term used to mean selling something you actually do not own! And yes you can legally sell something you don’t own. Most online shops like Amazon, eBay, OLX, Jumia, Jiji don’t own the things they sale! They are just advertising things owned by others! There are two main ways you can go about Short Selling.

a) Set up an online shop that sells products owned by other people. Enter into an agreement with the owners so you will be working like their sales agent. Proceed and sell the products as your own while the product owner handles the stocking and delivery. You are paid, you pay the owner and make a commission.

b) You can also make money by short selling in the equity markets without actually owning any shares of stock. In this method, you would act as a stockbroker, borrow stock you do not own, selling the borrowed stock, and then buying and returning the stock only if and when the price drops.
