Finding that niche
It took me quite a while to find a few niche that I wanted to work in. The best thing is to take a blank piece of paper and think of every possible type of product you can sell. It really has to be a product you would like, because if you don't, you will hate it, and quit and waste a lot of time and money.
Then, start doing keyword searches to see how many searches a month for those products. If there are only a couple searches for aardvark jackets, that might not be a good niche.
And don't pick things like PC's, TV's, cameras, or consumer electronics, as there are thousands and thousands of people already selling that stuff. The best think is to dig deep and specialize in a specific niche. I ended up with self defense and home protection products.
I started searching for a wholesaler, and found one that offered pre-built websites that give you a fast way to get up and running. After you get started, and have the money, move everything over to your own control, and just keep growing.
It's been 2 years, and we did almost $300,000 in total sales last year, part time. This is a great site & I'll be back to keep sharing...
