We live in tough economic times. Economist are coining this the second Great Depression. The job market has completely changed due to the dramatic down-turn in the free market economy; not just in the United States of America, but in western civilized countries around this great world. We are forced to think out of the box to find a way to take care of our families. It used to be you could count on a college degree to get you a great paying career with long-term security. Not these days unfortunately. The great news is that the advent of the Internet and the World Wide Web has opened up a whole uncharted world of opportunity; both here and abroad.

Maybe these tough times have made you interested in making money from the Internet? If so, you might want to consider wholesaling a niche product to a specific set of consumers. Massage stones are an example. For their market, they are in high demand yet low supply, (since there’s only a handful of enterprises that sell them through the Internet).

In fact, according to SEO Tools, approximately 18 people are searching the keyword “massage stones” everyday. Multiply 18 by 30, and you have approximately 540 people ready to buy. If you can convert just 10% of them, and you charge $150 per set, you would have a monthly profit of $8,100! This figure goes up even more if you decide to target other keywords.

So, how does a layman get started in the massage stone business? First, you will need to find a supplier. Enter the keyword “wholesale massage stones” into a search engine, and you should find potential distributors. If you are low on money, make sure they offer a dropshipping arrangement. With this setup, you won’t have to buy the massage stones upfront. Instead, your expenses are subtracted from the sale.

Next, you will need to get a website to sell your massage stones. Yahoo offers an online store for around $40 a month, though if you hunt around you might be able to get something for free. Either way, once you select the company you want to work with, you can either set the site up yourself or hire a Web designer to do it. The latter is a better choice for people new to Web design.

After that, you need to promote your site. If you have money, you can promote your site on Adwords or other pay-per-click networks. If you don’t have money, you will have to use article marketing to get your site out there. Ezine Articles, Go Articles and Article City are a few examples of sites where you can submit articles free-of-charge. Alternatively, you can also promote your store through social bookmarking sites such as Myspace or Facebook.

If you do all of these things, within time you’ll start to make a healthy profit. The main key is sticking with it even if you have to invest a little bit of time and/or money.
