Ask yourself these questions – ‘Is my product…’
1. Marketable
The key to your successful business is to be very sure that your product is accessible to your target market.
2. Profitable
We all have bills to pay and lives to live, so it is pretty important to make sure that your products are making you a decent amount of profit. This will ensure your financial safety and peace of mind. However, also to keep in mind is that a business takes time to build and in the beginning keeping your pricing within a reasonable range will help build you up faster. Being a start-up, don’t expect to retire and live in the Bahamas just yet. It may take some time.
3. Sellable
With different trading laws in various countries, it is essential to check the laws in your country to see if you are allowed to sell your chosen product.
4. Counterfeit or Copyright-related
I guess it goes without saying that counterfeit and copyright related products are a no-go-zone. Dealing with these products could have some serious consequences. Staying clear of them will help keep you far from trouble and any lawsuits that could arise in the future.
5. Low Risk and Small Sized
Ah now this is something that will help you to no end. Look for products that are guaranteed and smallish in size. Doing this will help you manage a possible loss on your investment and save you money on the shipping.
6. Niche, Niche, Niche
