Tips for Easy Online Market Research

  Market research is the best way to find new products and more importantly, determine whether they will sell.  When we perform market research, we are researching three things (1) the audience (2) the products and (3) the competition. Think about it this way: would you ever open a cafe in a street without knowing if there are other cafes nearby, or without researching how many people walk by each day? It's highly unlikely! Without performing adequate market research, online sellers can find themselves with a garage full of $5000 worth of stock and no interested buyers. To avoid getting yourself into that kind of dreaded situation, read on for my 5 step guide to easy online market research.
Step 1 Come up with a few product ideas. You may already have a few to get you started. Keep in mind the best items to sell are niche items which means they will appeal to only a small audience. This might seem strange, but new sellers become PowerSellers by appealing to a very small number of people then expanding their product range later. A few examples might be: plus size men's sleepwear, fishing rod holders, left handed can-openers or women's golf shoes.
Step 2 Next, research these products individually. You can do this by searching through eBay's completed listings. This will take couple of hours of your time but won't cost a thing. Start by going to eBay and clicking the "advanced search" icon right next to the search bar. Find the heading "search including" and check the box for "completed listings"
Step 3 Next enter a few keywords describing the item you are selling, select a category and hit the search button
Step 4 You'll now be presented with a list of search results. Scroll through the results and look at how many items sold (represented by their price being written in green) and how many did not sell (represented by their price being written in red). Count up the number of green listings in relation to the number of red. To find a profitable niche product, you need to find a product with at least 60% of its completed listings being green. Scroll through at least 5 pages to really make sure you are onto a good thing.
Step 5 If you're item meets the 60% threshold; it's time to find a supplier! If you're item doesn't hit the 60% mark, enter a new product idea into the search bar and start over!

7 Reliably Profitable Ebay Markets

Do you want to find out about eBay's consistently popular categories? I have just compiled this hot list to show you what's profitable on eBay, season after season, year after year.

 Clothing, shoes and accessories Clothing is such an exciting category to get involved in as it encompasses so many niches such as plus size gym wear, novelty underwear, and comfort shoes. Clothing is also easy to sell and ship, and best of all, there will always be a demand for clothing (at least until global warming really kicks in). Selling tip: Always give buyers as much information as possible in your eBay listings, especially about the item's size. This helps buyers to assess whether it will fit them - one factor which can easily cause uncertainty in potential buyers.

  Collectibles eBay is without a doubt the world's most popular place to buy and sell collectible items. Collectibles can include antique items, baseball cards, posters, medals and war artifacts, comics and branded items like Coca Cola and much more. Sourcing Tip: Visit yard and estate sales for arbitrage items which you can buy very cheaply and sell on to make a pretty profit.

 Electronics Possibly the most competitive, yet potentially profitable markets on eBay - particularly when it comes to items such as iPods and mobile phones. The best way to approach this market is in a big way - to really make a profit, you will need to do a big bulk buy and sell in big volumes. Consider supplementing your product range with accessories such as iPod skins, spare cords, or hands free kits for mobile phones.

 CDs and DVDs Did you know that eBaysells over 1 million DVDs and CDs and each month? However, for every one million sold, there are around 2 million listed. Yip, you guessed it, this is another highly competitive market. The trick to making it in DVDs and CDs is to niche it up - go outside of mainstream movies and TV series', or music albums and find a new niche market like exercise DVD's, classic films or learning languages.

 Gaming Systems Many gaming enthusiasts use eBay to buy and sell their games and gaming systems. A typical gamer will buy the latest system, play it for 8 hours a day for four weeks then sell it on and find something new to entertain them, which means there is always an abundance of buyers on the hunt for a new system to entertain them.

 Healthy and Beauty There are so many items within the Health and Beauty market: weight loss supplements, anti-aging creams and vitamins, hair care, dental care, makeup (nail polish, lip gloss, lip stick, lip balm, concealer, powder, foundation, eyeliner, mascara, eyeshadow, illuminators, bronzers and blushers - phew!), perfume and cologne, moisturizer, eye cream, microdermabrasion kits, hair and makeup brushes and applicators, hair removal kits or razors and shaving creams, manicure kits, eyelash curlers, tweezers and much more! As with all categories, it really helps to sell something which you are really interested in or have experience with. For example, if you suffer from dandruff, selling dandruff treatments would be ideal as you can relate to your audience and give them a few tips along the way (would be great in your eBay About Me page). Hot Tip: While brand-name items are top sellers in health and beauty, be very weary of Chinese suppliers offering these items very cheaply - they are likely to be fake and eBay cracks down very hard on anyone selling these

 Baby Gear From toys to feeding equipment and strollers, baby gear is a highly profitable eBay market. Like clothing, there will always be a market for baby equipment and with the huge costs associated with bringing up a baby, it's no wonder parents turn to buying online to find bargains and save themselves some money. Hot Tip: Don't be afraid to source second-hand or sample grade baby clothing - babies are messy little things and parents need them to have an abundance of cheap clothing to change them into after they splash around in the puddles, play with mud or start a food fight with their sweater. Keep in mind these markets are reliably profitable only when they are well executed! The above categories are highly competitive so when selling them, you must work hard to stand out from your competitors with great key words and item descriptions, and flawless customer service!

Go Daddy Review.

  You can find a link to Go Daddy near the top of the page.

Hosting 

Go Daddy is the giant of the web hosting service industry, many times larger than any other domain registrar. They service upwards of 45 million domain names and the number is on the rise. They definitely know what they are doing, and you can count on their service to be reliable and competent. They have some of the best domain searching features available – if a domain you want to purchase is no longer available, Go Daddy can put it on back order. They also provide a massive domain auction where the shortest, spiciest domain names are up for grabs. Because they have grown so large, you can also expect Go Daddy to be somewhat more commercially minded and less personal.

  This web hosting service has all the features you can imagine – email, database and blogging are only the beginning. No other web hosting service can match the breadth and depth of Go Daddy's feature set, which is a major reason that they have become such a prominent player. Don't expect to have access to all of these features with the basic package, however. Many features are contingent on additional monthly fees – the shopping cart software is a prime example. It is powerful, convenient and attractive, but you'll have to pay extra, and there is a cap on the number of items you can store in the inventory. If you want to expand, you'll have to pay more.
  The email and database features are likewise capped. If you want unlimited everything, the price tag might get a little bit steep. On the other hand, Go Daddy's à la carte menu can be an excellent fit if you don't need unlimited access to email and database. If you only purchase the services you will actually use, Go Daddy can be an economical service.
Go Daddy doesn't offer much in terms of storage space with their entry-level Economy Plan. Most small business websites aren’t likely to outgrow the 10GB allotment, but more ambitious pursuits will require an upgrade. The Deluxe Plan offers much more as far as features go, but there are still limits when it comes to storage space (150GB). Even the Unlimited Plan is a bit of a misnomer – you get as much storage and bandwidth as you want, but the databases are still limited to 1GB each and you only get 1,000 email addresses. In other words, Go Daddy is great for small to mid-sized ventures, but it might get a little tight if fortune smiles on your web property.

Features

  Go Daddy helps beginners easily set up their site and offers additional site creation tools for advanced developers. All of Go Daddy’s solutions support several programming languages, including CGI (Python and Ruby), PHP, Perl, ASP, MySQL, ColdFusion and FrontPage extensions.
Go Daddy leaves most marketing tools out of its low-priced website hosting plans. It does offer them in a different section of the website, which took a little investigating for us to find. Users who want to market their site through email will need to expand their efforts on their own once they hit the limit of 5,000 emails per year. For an additional charge, the service also offers SEO tools and search engine submission. Every Go Daddy plan includes site statistics information and raw access logs.

Ease of Use 

  Go Daddy is very easy to use. The file manager, domain manager and database manager are all fantastic. Online file managers are rarely so flexible. It does not do everything, but it is appealing to the eye and equipped with more than the standard array of features. Note that some things require setup time. If you wish to create a new database, for example, there is a delay that can take up to 24 hours.

Help and Support

  This web hosting service has a wide range of useful help and support options available, which are accessible at any hour of any day. The online support forums and FAQs section contain a wealth of knowledge for beginners and advanced users alike.
You can also contact Go Daddy’s customer service representatives on the phone or via email. This website hosting service is a large company, managing millions of domains for millions of users, so personal help would be expectedly slower than other services. However, Go Daddy’s support team is quick to respond, and the expected response time for emails is typically within 24 hours.
