Preparation: Market stalls can be hard work. It is extremely important that your product lines and prices are right, as well as your stall location. It can help to operate as a trader on an online auction site for a while, so that you get to know what people want and how much they are prepared to pay.   thesource (378)

Steps: You'll have to think about buying or renting the physical stall. You'll need a car/van to take the stuff. You may need the relevant insurances as you'll be dealing with the public. If your selling food you may need a basic hygiene certificate. At first, get yourself along to one of these markets very early (5am?) and queue up as a casual trader - at about 7/8am you'll be taken around and assigned locations where the regular traders who hold regular spots have not shown up. Try this for a week or two, preferably without investing too much in stock first, and see how it goes.   thesource (378)

Do some research. Check out the local markets. Which stand has the largest crowd? What are they selling? Is there any money in it. Speak to the manager of the market site. What does he suggest?   thesource (378)
