Write up a business plan identifying how much you can afford to invest in your business. A pallet of overstock merchandise may range from $2,000 to $10,000 depending on the type of goods you're interested in selling. In addition to the merchandise, you'll need a method of storing and transporting it (if you don't intend to have someone else drop ship), as well as funds for a website, permits, licenses and marketing.
Obtain a sales tax permit and register your business. Some wholesalers may not work with you otherwise.
Do your homework. Create an account on eBay.com. Once registered, peruse completed listings to get an idea of popular brand names and what they typically sell for. Visit related forums to conduct market research on customers likely to buy the kind of merchandise you intend to sell. Check out online product reviews and prices of merchandise that you are considering investing in. Visit discount stores like Big Lots to compare prices against overstock merchandise that you're looking to resell.
Find a location for your merchandise, if you don't intend to utilize drop shipping. This may be a large garage or spare room within your home or a small warehouse.
Find suppliers. Contact manufacturers and national and local retailers directly to inquire about liquidations, overstock, off season or discontinued merchandise and shelf pulls. Start with companies listed on Overstock.com and other closeout websites. Compare online liquidators and wholesale suppliers by reviewing their 'About Us' pages and customer reviews. Note how long each liquidator has been in business and their return policies. Many liquidators will drop ship. If you lack storage space, this may be a better option. Always pay with a secure payment method such as a credit card or Paypal.com.
Purchase a domain and website for your closeout overstock business. (See Resources for a list of web hosting companies.) Your web host should provide you with a number of free templates, marketing tools, 24-hour customer service and tutorials to help you design a relevant and catchy site that can garner traffic. Begin building your website by importing high quality images of your overstock merchandise and thorough descriptions for each item. You may be able to get stock photos from the manufacturer or retailer. Detail your return policy and your commitment to customer satisfaction.

Blogging is a great way to advertise a business online. Install a blog on your businesses website. It can be in the background if you don't want regular site visitors to easily come across it, but it is better if it is interlinked with the site. Promote your blog in the blogosphere to get traffic. Make sure to link your product with similar blog posts and vice versa.
Comment on blogs, forums and articles of similar nature. Most of these will allow you to link back to your blog or website from there. If you spend the time to give real valid input on their content, it will make your website look more reputable so people will be more likely to click over and take a look at what you are offering. This can be one of the most effective methods to advertise a business online because there is a personal aspect to it. People are more likely to trust a real person than the advice given by a Google advertisement.
Writing articles on different websites such as associated content, bukisa or eHow can be a great way to advertise your business. An example of how this can be done is eHow. Write an article about how to do something that would require them to make use of the product or services which you are selling. Then link to your product or service as a way of encouraging the sale. This can be a very lucrative method if you spend the time to write quality material.
Classifieds are another great way to advertise a business online. For the most part classifieds, even on the internet, are localized. This can actually be good because you can target different locals in order to provide customized offers to the various places.
