Estimates for a small start in Australia, not guarantees.

What it is

An online shop selling football boots, shin pads, balls, goalkeeper gloves and team kit. You can hold stock at home or use a supplier that ships direct (dropshipping), and focus on one niche such as junior boots or goalkeeper gear.

Your first three steps

  1. Pick a niche (for example junior boots or goalkeeper gear) and compare prices from Australian wholesalers and distributors
  2. Register an ABN, set up a simple online store and write clear size guides and returns information
  3. Contact local junior clubs and offer a club discount code, then ask for reviews from your first customers
Who pays

Players and parents buying for juniors, amateur clubs, school sports coordinators and keen adult players.

How it makes money

Markup on each item sold, plus bulk orders for clubs and schools. Offering team kit packs and fitting advice online helps you stand out from big retailers.
