The first requirement for a seashell business venture is living near the ocean or sea.
I think the best part would be collecting the shells you will be selling.
What more fun could it be to walk along the water's edge when the sun is just rising? This is nature at its best and you are there to see her in all her splendor.
Oh and I have to say this the early bird gets the worm, or in this case the best shells.
OK back to work, a strong bag or pail is needed to carry your shells home.
Tourists are not the only ones that will want to buy your shells, crafters and children will also like to buy them from you.
You may decide just to sell your shells as they are fresh from the sea.
However with a little imagination, you can create other things to sell.
Jewelry boxes, paper weights, posters, and many other things will bring nice profits too.
Create a nice brochure showing the items that you have for sale.
Give these brochures to businesses and people you meet.
If you have the use of a digital camera, your creations can be sold online also.
When using online auctions remember to take clear pictures and write good descriptions.
You will find with online auctions, a customer base will be established and there will be many repeat buyers for your shells and creations.
Your parents will probably need to help you set up a bank account online for payment.
