Hi there, I was wondering how you could find something to market. Like is there anywhere that shows you whats selling good or a way to find out what people want. Or is it like you just have to build on whateva your selling! Help me
Find out what people are searching for, unfortunately now that Overture is down this is increasingly harder to do; try goodkeywords.com or http://freekeywords.wordtracker.com/. Colm
Pick your passion, even if its picking watermelon seeds up with your toes. This is the internet and you can find a discussion about anything and the people interested.
Pick up your keywords, and then check with GoodKeywords or Overture if that keyword is searched by people or not, and how much is it
discover what your interest or hobby is and find its related products at clickbank or commission junction. They have thousands of products that sell every day.
Use tools like Google Trends, eBay Pulse and Yahoo News to see what's hot, what people are buying and what they're searching for.
A bunch of great ideas already. I'd also add check out business sites also, places like Forbes, Inc, etc., to get ideas.
Head for the Hong Kong electronics trade show in April. It is amazingly cheap to fly there, and you'll be overwhelmed with great products.
You can use things like the google zeitgeist and the ebay pulse to see what's hot and what people are searching for right now. Also the lycos 50 is pretty good for that-it's a very good idea to record the results each week then you can see how things are progressing and maybe tap into something others may miss. Hope that's useful!
