hi guys, i am planning to set a niche store as i have read here there is a potential for great profit if combined with good marketing. here is where i need your help : - i'm planning electronics or games category (is it saturated already? any suggestion) - what the quickest and most effective way to start the store (BANS? are there alternatives?) i would appreciate your advise
1. The electronics niche is pretty well saturated in my opinion. Personally, I think you should pick something you're passionate about - ideally, a weird hobby or interest that you actually know a lot about. 2. The quickest way to get an eBay store up and running is to use BANS, or phpBay Pro. They're both good. If you know a little PHP, you can always write your own script instead.
This is what works for me: 1. Promote hot items; 2. drive targetted traffic to your store; Rinse and repeat. Of course it sounds simple, however you have to take action. I wrote the details at my site (refer to sig file), PM or email me if you need further helps.
