Cashing in on Underserved and Emerging Niches

Posted on by • 0 Comments

One of the most intimidating factors in trying to start an online business is the process of selecting a niche that you feel will be profitable and that you can still be competitive in. Many marketers make the mistake of pursuing too broad of a niche that is flooded with competition, while others go so narrow that there is little hope for them to earn any money in it.

A better option is for you to learn how to identify niches that are either underserved or emerging as something formidable. This way, you are choosing something that has ample profit potential, but you’re not going to head-to-head with a bunch of competitors who have been catering to that target audience for months and years before you.

You obviously want a niche that has some competition. Without it, it would be a significant indicator that you might be looking at something that’s a waste of your time. But it has to strike the right balance.

If you’re trying to compete with too many people, it can be problematic in getting your site ranked, in growing your list, in carving out brand recognition for yourself, in building a social media following – and more.

Inside, you’re going to discover the amazing opportunities lying in the underserved and emerging niche markets so that you can stake claim to your fair share of opportunities designed to fill your coffers with case.

How to Sell 10,000 Products on eBay

Posted on by • 0 Comments

Imagine you can sell 10,000 different products on eBay, and the best part is, you don’t need to create, store, or ship any of them. Sounds intriguing, right?

I’d heard of this idea before, but never on this scale.

Here’s how it came across my radar this time: I was looking for a book, and when I Googled it, I found it listed on eBay. So, I made the purchase. Two days later, the book arrived in the mail, but guess what? The return address was not some random eBay seller but Amazon. That got me curious.

I dug deeper into the eBay seller’s profile and here’s what I found: They have more than 10,000 products listed, and every single one seems to be an Amazon item, priced $5 or more above what you’d pay on Amazon.

You know this person is making a lot of money because who in their right mind would find and list 10,000 items if they weren’t making serious bank?

Even if they just clear a buck from each listing per month, that’s $10,000 profit per month, just for listing and selling. Who knows, they might clear $1 per listing weekly, or even daily. The point is, they are clearly making money.

Now, let’s explore how this Amazon reverse arbitrage thing might work:

  • Finding Products: Start by looking for simple products on Amazon, like books.
  • Listing on eBay: List those products on eBay at a price higher than what you’d pay on Amazon, ensuring you make a profit.
  • Making a Sale: When someone buys the product on eBay, you can then purchase it on Amazon and have it shipped directly to the eBay customer.
  • No Financial Risk: Here’s the cool part – you don’t have to order the product from Amazon until someone buys it on eBay. This means no upfront costs or financial risk.
  • Shipping Covered: You won’t have to worry about packaging or shipping costs because Amazon takes care of that for you.
  • Handling Returns: If someone returns an item to you on eBay, you can simply return it to Amazon for a refund.

It’s like running your own online store without ever having to touch the products. It’s an interesting way to make money online with minimal risk. If you’re interested, give it a try and see what happens.
