5 Amazing Niche Markets

Posted by casper021 on 6th August 2010

Finding a niche market is one of the key ingredients to really making it in online selling. Did you know that beginner sellers are much more successful when they appeal to a very small market, rather than trying to appeal to everyone?

Finding a niche isn’t always easy – it takes time and persistence to find the right product to sell. To get you thinking, and to give you a few inspiring ideas, we have researched 5 product niche ideas to share with you. While some niche ideas might seem abstract to newbie sellers, that is exactly what a great niche is – very precise and seemingly difficult to source.

Niche Item #1: Heart Rate Monitors

These are used by athletes and gym bunnies or by people who need to keep an eye on their heart rate.

Why they are an exciting niche item:

  • They have a 75% success rate on eBay (75% of all monitors listed on eBay in the last three months sold!)
  • They are lightweight and easy to ship and store
  • One size fits all

Niche Item #2: Plus Size Shoes

Many big-foot’s out there find it very difficult to find shoes that will fit them comfortably from regular retail stores.

Why they are a super niche item:

  • While these are commonly made by popular shoe makers, stores often order only a handful of pairs in larger sizes, which means that more and more, our big-footed friends must turn to buying online to get what they need.
  • They have a high success rate on eBay (women’s size 11 sell at 61.9% and men’s size 14 at 75%
  • Both men and women alike can require plus size shoes (Hot tip: women’s size 11+ high heels could make a great little niche)

Niche Item #3: Plus Size Maternity Wear

Another plus-size item with huge success on eBay

It’s a profitable niche because:

  • Maternity and baby gear always works because people are always going to have babies, so you’ll never run out of customers!
  • Clothing items are easy to ship as they light and not fragile.

Niche Item #4: Military Insignia

Collectibles always make great niches and you can dig really deep to find the best ones. They are also perfect for people who are interested in them – you’ll find it much easier and much more rewarding when you sell something you enjoy. To really niche it up, go for US military insignia from the Vietnam War which is big on eBay.

Why military insignia makes an excellent niche:

  • It rarely dates or goes out of fashion
  • There are so many sub-niches to discover like Russian war medals and World War 2 helmets.

Niche Item #5: Antique Clocks

Another great collectible item

They are a first-rate niche because:

  • You’ll appeal to both collectors and home decorators
  • They have an eBay success rate of over 67%
  • You can often pick these up very cheaply from flea markets and yard sales, then sell them on to make a profit

Niche items really are the way to go for newbie sellers and there are so many out there to keep you interested and best of all, make you money!

Looking to resell some of those products but don’t know where to start? Well here is the answer wholesale database is the largest database of wholesalers worldwide get all those products at wholesale price and start making money by reselling them on trademe, ebay or other auction sites.

Why Buy from Online Wholesalers

Posted by casper021 on 27th January 2010

In recent years with evolution of the internet online shopping has become more and more popular. Just doing a quick search on the internet we can see many major retailers offering facilities for purchasing goods online. Shopping online makes our lives easier and saves us a bit of money as usually online prices are slightly cheaper than the ones in the retail stores. But the main questions we need to look at are: are we buying from correct places and are there any way we can save more money without compromising on quality of the product.

Most of us who frequently shop online buy goods from large retailers like major department stores from their online stores or from auctions websites like eBay etc. Well let’s look at the department stores first they generally keep their margins at a certain level as they need to make profit to cover their expenses. If you compare prices in department stores to prices on the same items on eBay or some small websites you will notice that prices for the same items are generally much cheaper on eBay and from smaller online retailers. But in saying that people who selling online still making good margins on products and quite often they make better margins then larger outlets as their overheads are much smaller and they source product for the same price.

Well now why can we an average person buy something at a wholesale price and save ourselves somewhere between 10% and 200% of the retail price. Yes 200% is correct some items especially things like accessories, clothing, cables, etc get margined up by 200% or in some cases even more. I will give one example cat6 network cable I used to pay $17 dollars for a 2 meter cable then I opened up a corporate account with that store and suddenly they were offering me the same cable for $6 and then I found a cable distributer online and now I am paying $2 for cable and the thing is the price was not in any way affected by the quantity as I usually buy 1 or 2 cables.

You probably thinking right now that it would be really nice to get hold of the products at this prices but how do i find this wholesalers and how do I know which once are real and which are scam. Well there are two ways you can go about it.

First you can spend countless hours searching the internet and researching each wholesaler separately to make sure they are the real deal or you can just sign up to the largest wholesale directory and get instant access to over 7000 wholesalers in every imaginable category. I have been a member of that directory for many years now and for the small one time joining fee I have a lifetime access to the biggest wholesale database which saves me tens of thousands of dollars every year just buy buying everyday items like socks t-shirts etc directly from wholesalers.

It is common knowledge that without traffic we have no business. Like any business, without any customers you don’t get sales. Traffic represents all the people that gets a chance to see what you have to offer. The more people who see your products the more people there would be to buy them.

Nobody puts up an E-commerce site that doesn’t expect profit. We have a startup capital that needs to be regained. With a consistent traffic, we at least have a fighting chance to achieve that probability. Monetizing your traffic would optimize your chances of making the best out of it.

Making Money out of your Traffic

The best and most proven method of making a profit out of your traffic is using advertising. The internet generates hundreds of thousands upon hundred of thousands of traffic everyday. Most of them are searching for something. While some are just looking for information there is also a good percentage that is looking for something that they need.

The internet has proven to be a very reliable source in finding what was deemed to be a very unsearchable product. The internet has made the world a smaller place; you can advertise a product from the depths of Istanbul and still find a buyer from the center of Philadelphia.

Generating traffic is not an easy task. You have to contend with a great number of sites to generate a good number of traffic flow. But if done successfully this could open up a Pandora’s Box of possibilities. One of the benefits is monetizing your traffic flow.

So, to get to the core of it the more traffic you generate the more likely you are considered as a desirable, desirable, in a sense that a good traffic flowing site is easily convertible to profit. Basically traffic equals profit. Advertising is the name of the game; with the good advertising scheme you can use your traffic flow to your advantage.

When you have good traffic you have a good number of potential customers, customers that are willing to pour money into your coffers. Other than that these are also traffic that can be redirected to sponsored links that are willing to pay you for a sizeable portion of the traffic that you have generated.

This scheme is called “pay-per-click”. With every click a visitor of your site makes on an advertised link you will be paid. The more traffic you generate and the more clicks that happens would spell to more profits.

Affiliate Programs

Another method of monetizing your traffic are affiliate programs. You can link up with other tried and tested sites and online companies and monetize your traffic by having a percentage of sales generated by traffic coming from your site.

The basic idea is, traffic generated from your site will go to another site that can offer a product that you do not carry. Many programs can keep track and make records of transactions that was made possible because of site linkage.

When purchases are made by customers that was led by your site to their site you get a percentage of that sale. Affiliate programs would give you the benefit of monetizing your traffic without the actual need of carrying or promoting a certain product.

Viral Marketing 101 – Not Using It Could Kill Your Business!

Posted by casper021 on 3rd September 2009

Creativity.

This is one virtue a site must possess to lead the race in the ruthless competition in the Internet based business. With so many competition and rivalry going on, every method of marketing must be employed and utilized.

It doesn’t matter if you have a killer product or a fantastically designed website, if people don’t know that you exist, it doesn’t matter, and you are not going to make it big. Worse of all, you business could just get killed.

While there are so many methods and schemes used by so many e-commerce sites today, there are still some of those that can help you with an extra boost in the popularity ratings. One of these is the so called Viral Marketing.

While the term Viral easily depicts a virus, a word very much dreaded by all computer owners, it is not what it seems. You do not actually use a computer virus to spread your business; on the contrary it just might kill you. Everyone has had enough of all those pop up ads and spywares.

Viral Marketing Overview

Viral Marketing also known otherwise as Viral Advertising is a marketing technique used to build the public awareness of one’s product or company. They use many forms of media to reach out to the public without actually promoting the product by riding on in other forms of addictive means that could get a person hooked and be obliged or amused to actually pass it on, with the product or company advertisement along with it.

In a nutshell, companies ride on the idea that if people like the content of a media they will pass it on to their friends and family. They sponsor the certain media, such as a cool flash game, funny video, amusing story and such, which one may pass on to another with the company brand or logo or the products description or any other content to help promote the company or its product.

Viral marketing has become a popular means of advertising and marketing because they are relatively low cost. To avoid being tagged as spam mail, viral marketing counts on the eagerness of one person to pas on the product. If a person sees the name of the person they know as the sender, they won’t block it and open it as well.

Many companies offer incentives such as discounts and rebates when they help in spreading their viral marketing. They rely on the number of recipients a viral marketing gets from one person in determining the amount or number of incentive they can be attributed with.

Using Viral Marketing to your advantage

The main and foremost advantage of viral marketing is that you get a lot of publicity and public awareness about your site and your company. You get to generate a flow of traffic that are potential customers. With a little ingenuity and imagination, plus some incentives or prizes, you can reach out to a great number of people and announce your existence.

Most every site and companies are catching on to the effectivity of Viral Marketing and Advertising. Not using it could kill your business. Along with other schemes and methods in promoting your site, like Search Engine Optimization and such, viral marketing could easily push you ahead in the rating games.

Viral Marketing could be a sneaky way to get people to know about you and your company. You get them to pass your advertisement along. They are also very low cost that not investing in it could be downright a business suicide. All it takes is a great idea, a good addicting game, a funny story many ideas are still out there. Create a gossip or a buzz, many movies are promoted by using scandals and gossips to make them moiré popular. Remember the movie “The Blair Witch Project”?

Many big companies have tried viral marketing and have had many success stories with it. A classic example is Microsoft’s Hotmail. They were the first known big company to utilize the scheme and it has worked wonders for them.

Now it’s your turn to use viral marketing to work wonders for you. Act now and reap the benefits Viral Marketing will provide for you and your sales figures.

Twitter is a social networking and microblogging service that allows you answer the question, “What are you doing?” by sending short text messages 140 characters in length, called “tweets”, to your friends, or “followers.”

The short format of the tweet is a defining characteristic of the service, allowing informal collaboration and quick information sharing that provides relief from rising email and IM fatigue. Twittering is also a less gated method of communication: you can share information with people that you wouldn’t normally exchange email or IM messages with, opening up your circle of contacts to an ever-growing community of like-minded people.

You can send your messages using the Twitter website directly, as a single SMS alert, or via a third-party application such as Twirl, Snitter, or the Twitterfox add-on for Firefox. (See below for links to Twitter tools and applications.)

Benefits of having a web site

Posted by casper021 on 6th April 2009

What are the real benefits of having a web site? The following list is intended to help you consider the ways in which you’ll profit from establishing your own web site:1) The primary reason for having a web site is that people expect you to have one (everyone is on the web now).
2) The web is increasingly the first option in a person’s search for information, services and products.

3) If you’re not on the web, people won’t find you – but they will find somebody else. Your potential customers are going elsewhere!

4) Your web site is a relatively inexpensive way to showcase your interests or work in an informative, interesting and attractive way to an ever-increasing local and worldwide audience.

5) Expand your hours of operation. A web site can allow you to be “open” and operational 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, providing information right from your web site.

6) Reduce information delivery and staff costs. Reduce printing, faxing, postage and handling, telephone bills, and advertising costs. Visitors can access information about you and your inventory right from your web site at their convenience. This reduces incoming customer service calls and, thus, frees up more time for yourself.

7) Keep information up-to-date and always within reach. Unlike a printed brochure, business card or catalog, no one can misplace or lose your web site! Web site content can be changed within minutes, allowing you to keep information accurate and timely at far less cost than reprinting brochures, catalogs and business cards every time updates are needed. And when you’re on the web, people always know where to find you.

8.) Expand your customer base with unlimited advertising. Whether your focus is local, regional or worldwide, you can reach a larger audience on the web – in full-color at a remarkably reasonable “advertising” cost. And unlike other marketing mediums such as television, print, and radio, there are no time, space, or size restrictions to your digital “ad.” Have contact with potential customers before they even come to visit your area.

9) Including your web address on your other publicity material (leaflets, newspaper adverts, letterhead paper etc.) gives existing and potential customers easy access to the information on your site.

10) Sell products and services. Your web site can actually sell your products and services for you. Maintain your listings online and allow customers to view your listings and print them.

11) Your domain name (www.yoursitename.com) can be used as part of your e-mail address. This reminds your customers of your business name every time you contact them or they contact you.

12) A web site provides your vital contact information: e-mail, telephone numbers, and business address and directions on how to find you.

More…
Using the web has a huge number of advantages over traditional media. The main advantages are: low cost per view, flexibility, global audience, and potential savings in other areas. Unlike television or radio ads, a web site is available to your audience all day, every day. Business cards, brochures, catalogs… people lose them, throw them out, put them in the recycling—but a web site is always in the same place. Even the simplest web site can save you time and money—and at the same time reach new people with your message. You know how much time is spent answering the same questions and repeating the same information! By putting those answers and messages on your web site, you can provide the answers, freeing you up to attend to other things.

Understanding what benefits having a web site can offer your business is key. The key to any business decision is cost. The cost to design your web site depends on what you want to accomplish with your web site. A typical web site (template) with no dynamic content will cost less than custom design, but custom design will offer more opportunities for your information to be presented. The low cost of a website does count on a number of things being done in the right way. The initial design and planning of a website has to be done in the same way as any other product: establish the requirements, get the basics right, design the framework for the site, ensure that the styling of the site matches the look and feel that your company has.

The reasons why the web offers such a low comparative running costs compared to other media are best illustrated on a per page basis, with one page view of a website being equated to one of any other media. For example, you print off ten thousand brochures and then need to change one small detail, such as a telephone number. The whole run is wasted and has to be written off. This doesn’t happen with the web. The change can be made as soon as it is discovered and any subsequent views of this material will reflect this change.

The web is global: there are millions of users already, and you’re not just limited to markets where you have established a base. From Michigan, throughout the United State, and across the world, a web site can spread your name across the world. Your market presence will be stronger, and sales from outside the county lines will happen more and more. People interested in your site will seek you out and refer their friends. An informational, well-functioning web site can boost your credibility without demanding an enormous budget. As you grow, you can expand and improve your web site.
Just remember, you can generally provide tremendous amounts of information on your web site without running out of room. Unlike radio, TV, magazines or newspapers, you aren’t limited to expensive 30-second commercials, or eighths and quarters of printed pages!

If you do not have a business and just looking to earn some extra cash on the internet, website can be a great way of achieving it with low start up cost. Here we will talk about a number of different ideas which you can you to set up and quickly generate some sales and extra income for yourself.
1.  Forum websites – An Internet forum, or message board, is an online discussion site.It is the modern equivalent of a traditional bulletin board, and a technological evolution of the dialup bulletin board system. From a technological standpoint, forums or boards are web applications managing user-generated content. People participating in an Internet forum can build bonds with each other and interest groups will easily form around a topic’s discussion, subjects dealt within or around sections in the forum.
Forums are also a great way to promote products and services and also generate revenue from sponsored advertising like google addwords. Forums are easy to set up and administer and also easy to attract people to join.
2. Information websites – people always looking for information so having and informative website on a particular topic is a great way to promote products and services related to the topic. One main point with this websites is you have to keep the information constantly up to date. This websites are also quite easy to set up and administer and if done correctly can be quite profitable.
3. Classifieds websites – running a classified website is another good way of earning living online. This websites are quite popular because they offer an easy way of buying and selling online.  People generally will use them as they offer a free and alternative method of buying and selling to auction websites.
4. Dating websites – this once are can be really profitable if correctly done. Dating is one of the largest industries on the internet right now. With the dating website you can build up a database of people very quickly by initially providing a free service and then once you have about 5000 members on your website you can start charging them for the service and sit back and watch cash flowing into your account.
