📦 What You Can Sell
- Sarees, kurtis, and jewellery
- Kitchen tools or home decor
- Beauty & skincare products
- Health supplements
- Customized gifts
- Daily needs (local sourcing)
💡 Start with 1–2 categories based on what your audience will love.
🔧 Tools You Need (All Free):
| Tool | Purpose |
|---|---|
| WhatsApp Business | Catalog, auto-replies, orders |
| Meesho/Suppliers | Source products at wholesale rates |
| Canva | Create posters or product banners |
| Google Forms | Collect orders (optional) |
| Paytm/UPI | Payments from customers |
📈 Step-by-Step Action Plan
✅ Step 1: Set up WhatsApp Business Profile
- Download WhatsApp Business
- Add a clear profile photo (logo or your face = trust)
- Add a short bio (e.g., “Affordable Home Essentials. Free Delivery.”)
Set up quick replies like:
“Hi! Thanks for reaching out. Our team will reply shortly.”
✅ Step 2: Choose Your Product Niche
| Niche | Why It Works |
|---|---|
| Fashion (sarees, suits) | Popular with women buyers on WhatsApp |
| Kitchen tools | Easy to explain, quick to sell |
| Skincare & self-care | Small-ticket, repeat orders |
👉 Use Meesho, GlowRoad, or local wholesalers. You don’t need stock — just good product images and supplier contact.
✅ Step 3: Create a Weekly Product Catalog
Use Canva or your supplier’s images to create a weekly offer sheet:
- 5–10 products per sheet
- Use pricing like: ₹299 instead of ₹300
- Mention: free delivery, limited stock, payment method
💡 Tip: Add urgency – “Only 3 left” or “Today only discount”.
✅ Step 4: Start Sharing to Close Circles
- Start with friends, family, neighbours
- Create small WhatsApp groups (e.g., “Diwali Deals”, “Home Must-Haves”)
- Avoid spamming – share only 1–2 times a day, preferably morning/evening
- Offer cash on delivery (if local) or UPI before dispatch
✅ Step 5: Track Orders & Repeat Buyers
Use a notebook or Google Sheet to track:
- Product name
- Price + profit
- Customer name
- Address & phone
- Delivery status
💡 Tip: Deliver fast, pack nicely, and follow up after delivery for reviews or referrals.
🧮 Example Profit Calculation:
| Product | Cost Price | Selling Price | Your Profit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cotton Kurti | ₹350 | ₹499 | ₹149 |
| Kitchen Peeler Set | ₹120 | ₹199 | ₹79 |
| Hair Oil Combo | ₹270 | ₹399 | ₹129 |
Even 5 orders/day = ₹400–₹700/day = ₹12,000–₹20,000/month 💸
💰 Income Potential
| Level | Orders/Day | Avg. Monthly Profit |
|---|---|---|
| Starter | 2–3 | ₹3,000–₹5,000 |
| Active Seller | 5–10 | ₹10,000–₹20,000 |
| Bulk Seller | 15+ | ₹25,000+ |
⚠️ Common Challenges:
- Low trust initially – use personal tone, add testimonials
- Delivery delays – pick reliable suppliers (Meesho has returns too)
- Payment issues – take UPI or part advance if needed
🚀 Bonus Tips:
- Offer 10% off for first-time buyers
- Ask happy buyers to forward your catalog
- Celebrate festivals with custom offers (“Diwali Box”, “Karwa Chauth Kit”)
- Partner with local delivery boys or use Dunzo/Swiggy Genie if needed
