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 its a fad?
A good example of something that is a fad is Harry Potter. Its 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?
Lets face it. Its hard to sell something if its something that you dont like or wouldnt 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...
