What it is
You put together simple bundles for small meeting rooms and home offices, such as a camera, speakerphone and screen. You sell them online and help customers set up remotely. Stock may ship directly from a distributor.
Your first three steps
- Choose two or three bundles for different room sizes and check compatibility with Zoom, Teams and Google Meet
- Set up a reseller account with a distributor, ideally one that can ship directly to your customers, and a simple online store
- Write a short setup guide for each bundle and offer a paid remote setup session to your first customers
Who pays
Small businesses, remote teams, and home-office workers that want working kit without hiring an installer.
How it makes money
You earn a margin on each bundle, plus optional paid setup calls or a small support plan.
Skills that help
- Knowing which kit works with which meeting software
- Writing clear product guides
- Patient phone and video support
- Basic online marketing
Watch out for
- Register for sales tax where required and check your state's rules for online sellers and resale certificates
- Returns, damaged shipments and warranty claims, which can eat into thin margins
- Distributor terms on pricing, advertising and who handles support
- Business insurance, and check whether a home-based business needs a local permit or has HOA or lease limits
- Competition from big online retailers, so focus on advice and support
