Start with market research!
If you want to sell fish oil, skin care products you want to know about that market as much as possible - what are top sellers, competitors, industry news, trade shows etc.
Basically only after you have gained knowledge in a particular market, you can start looking for product suppliers. Of course - only if you want to be good @ what you're doing and make most out of it!
To make some extra cash, all it can take is just look @ eBay's advanced search data - look for products that sell, get them cheaper and list for a profit.

Brainstorm, brainstorm, brainstorm...
Start from the market - then look for the products.
