Ever wondered if there are other ways of making an extra income?

I’m sure I speak for many South Africans when I say that the cost of living is becoming too much to bear.

However, there is a way to gain some extra bucks from the comfort of your home – by selling products. Here are 10 high-in-demand products you can sell to gain extra income.

1. Online courses: This is a low-cost option that can be incredibly rewarding.

2. Travel mugs: Stainless steel travel tumblers are among the best products to sell from home in South Africa, and you can brand them to increase their selling price.

3. Printable art: The profits are much higher because the production and delivery costs are low. You just need to send your customers art in soft copy for them to print and frame.

4. Office supplies: These are a must-have for offices and you can sell supplies in bulk for a profit.

5. Pet toys: Many South Africans own pets so selling pet toys is an easy way to generate money.

6. Sofa beds: These are great for bachelor flats as they don’t take up too much space.

7. Wigs: This is a gold mine as many South Africans love to sport fancy wigs.

8. LED lights: Load shedding makes LED lights an easy way to keep places lit up during that two- to four-hour wait (or more!).
