The Best Products to Sell From Home
With thousands of direct sales companies selling millions of products, which company has the best products to sell from home? It all depends on what your passions are and how much you want to earn.
Here are some direct sales companies in various niches that offer high-quality products and top-notch opportunities.
Sell Jewelry
If you love jewelry and fashion accessories, there are LOTS of direct sales companies that sell fabulous jewels and gems.

Selling gorgeous crystal necklaces, bracelets, rings, earrings, anklets, and accessories, Touchstone Crystal offers a unique opportunity to sell products online. Starter kits range in price from $99 to $349 and include sample products, an e-commerce website with a back office, marketing tools, and support and training. Consultants can earn a commission of 25% to 40% on products sold.

If you love fashion and clothing, there are some wonderful direct sales companies in the style niche! Whether you want to sell high-end fashion or athleisure, there are options for every taste, style, and budget.
2. cabi
I first learned about cabi in 2010 after being invited to their fall fashion show. After experiencing the cabi brand firsthand, I was hooked. They have some of the most flattering and stylish clothes that I’ve seen for women. Not only are their clothes fabulous, but they also have one of the highest retention rates within the direct sales industry.
With cabi, Stylists can earn 22% to 33% on personal sales and an additional 2% to 8% commission for team sales. Your seasonal inventory ranges from $250 to $2,500. According to their website, if you sell 70% of your seasonal inventory at 50% off, you’ll earn $ 1,750 to $3,500, which would fund your inventory for the next season.
The cabi business opportunity is avilable to US, Canadian, and UK residents.

9. CUTCO
CUTCO sells the most amazing knives and cutlery! How do I know? My boyfriend in college used to sell CUTCO, and during that time, I purchased a couple of steak knives (it was all I could afford back then). Believe it or not, I still have those steak knives today. I loved those knives so much that I purchased a full set of knives a few years ago. They are amazingly sharp, and they come with a forever guarantee!
I’m not sure how much commission Sales Reps earn, but according to their website, “Reps receive a guaranteed base pay when they show CUTCO to a qualified potential customer. So they get paid whether or not the customer purchases.” CUTCO also holds an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau and is a member of the Direct Selling Association.

Sell Your Own Products Online
Joining a direct sales company is just one way you can make money selling products from home! If you’re artsy and crafty, have stellar design skills, love flipping items, or want to curate your own products, check out these ways to make money selling products from home.
21. Handmade Items
If you have a talent and passion for making handmade soaps, bath bombs, lip balm, wooden coasters, candles, gift baskets, dog treats, gourmet chocolates, or something else, you can sell your handcrafted items on an online marketplace like Etsy, Maker Place, or Amazon Handmade. These platforms have huge built-in audiences, which makes it easy for sellers to get started.
If you prefer to sell digital products, such as graphics, printables, stock photos, illustrations, label templates, or SVGs, you can sell them on platforms like Creative Market. The nice thing about digital products is that you create them once, and then you can sell them repeatedly, which is an easy way to generate passive income.

22. Resell Products Online
If you want to sell unwanted items around your house, try platforms like eBay, Poshmark, Facebook Marketplace, and Mercari. With these online platforms, you can sell your items for free, and they only take a small fee once you make a sale. I’ve been using Poshmark to sell my clothing, and they make it so easy to make money from your unwanted items. Some people, like Melissa and Rob Stephenson, have turned reselling into a full-time, profitable home business. Not only do they earn six figures a year reselling items on eBay, but they also have an online course that teaches others how to do the same.
23. Start a Print-on-Demand Business
Do you have graphic design skills? Then, use a print-on-demand site like Gelato or Spring to design and sell popular merchandise, such as custom T-shirts, mugs, smartphone accessories, and more. With these marketplaces, you can get started for free, and they’ll ship and deliver your products once a sale is made. If you’re curious about how to get started with a print-on-demand business, check out this interview with Jessica Roop from I Love Print on Demand.
24. Start Your Own eCommerce Store
If you want complete control over the products you sell, the manufacturer you use, and your profit margins, you can start your own online business using an eCommerce platform like Shopify. While this method requires a fair amount of market research and funds to get started, it offers the most control and has the highest income potential. To learn more about this model of selling products from home, check out this interview with Christina Gillick, who shares her story of starting her own online shop selling earrings.
25. Add an Online Store to Your Blog
If you have a WordPress blog, you can use the WooCommerce plugin to add an online shop to your blog. With this plugin, you can sell physical products or digital downloads. However, if you prefer not to add another plugin to your blog, you can create a shopping page on your site with custom Gutenberg blocks and use a shopping cart like ThriveCart (this is what I did). One thing that I love about ThriveCart is that it is an affordable one-time fee, so you don’t have to worry about a monthly membership fee.
Of course, you’ll want to create SEO (search engine optimization) rich product descriptions and use high-quality images. You can also add your shopping cart link to blog posts, in your newsletter, and social media posts.
26. Sell Affiliate Products
Short-form video is all the rage, and companies like Amazon, TikTok, and Flip have made it incredibly easy to sell products online via their platforms. Each platform works slightly differently and has varying qualifications to get started, but the gist of it is that you create product review videos and post them online. Then, anytime a person purchases an item through your video, you’ll earn an affiliate commission. Your earnings will depend on the types of products you review, the quality and engagement of your videos, the number of followers you have, and the commission rate for each product.
Tips For Marketing Your Products Online
While selling products from home can be a great way to earn an income online, you’ll need to put a good amount of effort into marketing your business. If you’re joining a direct sales company, they should have detailed training and marketing tools that you should follow and use.
If you’re starting your business from scratch, be sure to take advantage of social media platforms like Facebook, Pinterest, Instagram, and TikTok. These are completely free to use, and they offer an effective way to get your products in front of potential customers.
If you have some money to invest in your marketing, email marketing and online advertising can also be very effective. Take some time to learn about your options and where your target audience hangs out so that you get a good return on your investment.
