Writers and programmers who don’t like selling stuff can take advantage of their skill set to write or develop something useful. A programmer for instance can write a special program that does something useful, he can then sell his program via a network of affiliates. Many people make thousands of dollars doing just this. Writer can books and publish them online. Books that are really good and useful sell like hotcakes and you can even be making money while you sleep sine you are not the person doing the selling.

If you are good at sales you can earn a sizable commission selling other people’s products. By selling digital or other peoples products you don’t need to have your own stock of stuff and you don’t have to sell all the time. Sometimes a well designed website is all you need to start selling the products you want.
