Things You'll Need:
- A little bit of time for walking and searching.
- A water source, (lake, river)
- An internet connection
- An ebay account (see article on how to make money on ebay)
-
Step 1
First thing you will need to do is set aside a little time to do some hunting for things. This article will focus on drift wood. It can be found near water sources such as lakes and streams and rivers. Take a day and do a little strolling. Look for unique patterns and designs in the wood. Bring a bag or basket to gather up the wood. This can be a good home business for you.

Step 2
Cool designOnce you have found some cool looking pieces, take them home and give them a good wash. In the dishwasher is the best, but in the sink with a good scrub brush is good to. Allow to dry and then bake in the oven at 250 degrees for about 20 mins. Let cool and get ready to sell. I recommend that you gather at least 10 -20 pieces before you start selling. This is a good business idea with no middleman.

Step 3
Now you are ready to sell. Read my article about selling on eBay. Now do a little research on the web to figure out the prices you will want to put on your items. Then do some posting of the products. You can even sell to local pet supply shops. If you want to go big, open a web page and connect your pay pal account to it and sell that way. Look on line for free web pages with shopping carts. There are a lot of them available. E-commerce is growing and you could be the next big business.
