Products, Products, Products, What Products To Sell ?

One of the problems that people run into when they
have decided that they want to sell a product as their
home business is what type of product do they want to
sell? There are a few questions that they can ask
themselves in order to help them choose a product.

1. Is it something people will buy?

One of the best ways to know is to ask your friends
and family. These are going to be your first
customers, and it should be something that they are
interested in.

2. Is it popular because it's a fad?

A good example of something that is a fad is Harry
Potter. It's very popular now because the last book
came out and the movies are still big. But are people
going to still buy Harry Potter merchandise five years
from now when the movies are done?



3. Is it something you believe in?

Let's face it. It's hard to sell something if it's
something that you don't like or wouldn't use
yourself. You want to make your sales pitch sound
believable and let people know that you truly believe
in your product.

4. Do a lot of people sell it in your area?

The competition for sales can be bad enough without
selling something that everyone else is selling.

Once you have asked yourself these questions, you will
be able to narrow it down more and find something that
you can sell and sell successfully.
