When you are just starting your online home business
finding the right products to sell online is the number one
problem. Knowing where to look can help. If you don’t
have a great product to sell then more then likely
you’re not going to make any money.
After all nobody wants to waste their hard earned money on
complete junk, and I’m sure we’ve all done that
one time or another and know its not a good feeling. So
having a good solid product to sell will only help your
profits grow. Below I have some great ways on how you can
find the perfect products to sell online.
1. Drop Shipper Directories: Drop shippers are wholesalers
that will ship the products you sell directly to your
customers so that you don't have to invest in any store
inventory. Directories of drop shippers are for sale
online, but make sure you're buying a reputable one. Try to
find a place that has been doing business for years, and
has good reviews.
2. Local Businesses: You may find businesses in your very
own backyard that offer just the right products, but are
not yet into e-commerce. Offer to sell their product online
in exchange for a percentage of any profits you make.
3. Crafters: Local crafters are a good source of unique
products, and may be willing to reduce their prices for you
if you purchase in quantity. Either buy the item outright,
or set up a consignment arrangement with them. Crafters
usually have unique products that you will not find
anywhere else. So if you can come to an agreement with them
you should be well on your way to success.
4. Garage sales and flea markets: Garage sales are a good
place to look for items to sell online. Do some research
into categories that interest you, and then start scouring
sales for good prices. You can easily buy something from a
garage sale and always turn around and sell it on e-bay for
up to 10x what you paid for it.
5. eBay: eBay itself can be a source for products. Look for
wholesale lots that can be broken down for individual sale.
6. Wholesaler Directories: Your local library will probably
have directories of manufacturers, wholesalers, and/or
distributors. Most directories are organized by SIC code so
that you can zero in on the product categories that
interested you.
7. Trade Shows: Trade shows are a great way to find
products. Lots of merchants gather in one place to look for
resellers. So this will be the perfect opportunity to find
a that solid product you want to sell only. To find trade
shows in a particular industry, contact trade associations
and industry publications.
8. Importers/Exporters: You might want to consider
contacting companies that import goods from overseas. It's
possible to source directly from overseas. This requires a
lot of expertise, but many companies do it successfully.
