You can become a bookseller while working full-time. A book store in India needs an investment of about Rs. 40 to Rs. 80 lakhs for stock. Bookstore clerks make between $9 and $15 per hour. Large retailers win through volume discounts, so don’t try to compete on price.
One method to find a book’s value is to search for similar copies on AbeBooks.com. Turn old books into cash by selling online or at a book fair. Selling ebooks on Amazon can also make money.
Complete high school to become a distributor. Distributors sell damaged books and need customer service skills and warehouse space.
To start a bookselling business online, cover everything from basics to marketing strategies. Make sure to determine the price of your book accurately.
