    Ideally online. After working in and around customer service for a good part of 30 years I’m really not keen on dealing with people.

    I thought about customer service consulancy/advisory/training, which I’m really good at, but it involves people…

      I’m not sure so just going to throw around some ideas for you. Maybe you can try sell on E-Commerce website, Shopify, Etsy or even on Amazon. Pick a product that you know well and can source the supplier easily. Add some value to the base product and sell under your brand.

      If you not keen on dealing with people, try sell products that can’t be returned or have low return/exchange probability.

      There’s also a dropshipping business where you don’t keep any stock or even ship it out. Just get the customers and place the order for them.

        That is my train of thought too. I see an opportunity there, but I’m worried I’m kinda late to the game with dropshipping, but given the low start up cost I think it’s worth a try.

        I do know a guy that sells high end motorbike gear (that he buys and stores in some limited capacity), but operates entirely online and makes a good living.
