The truth:

It does not take an idea or product to begin with, if you start with a product idea, we started badly.

What happens in reality is that most who had a bad start because they thought it a good idea of product that would not work and fail.
Your idea may be brilliant and the product, but oh well, but consumers. The business does not go far.

This is why it is much better to find a market first.
If you find a need in a market that can achieve, just give that market what they are looking for.
So your business is a success.
Here is a commentary by Robert Serrada experience.
Quote:
I know a man named Eric Weeks who really did not like the trucks, the tube never own.
But when he received word that there were thousands of people searching the Internet for “truck accessories” every day, he discovered that there was a market waiting for him to supply what they were needed.
End quote.
So instead of insisting on our right idea perhaps would find a market willing to be seen.

To sell products in auctions web sites could be a highly profitable business!

Here you have some ideas of products that you could offer in auctions systems:

- Any kind of books (printed or digital)

- Own software

- Collectable articles (stamps, money note, coins, etc.) – Art and handiworks (paintings, sculptures, art works)

- Electronic products or hardware

- Textile production (own)

- Unpublished or exclusive articles

- Regional products

- Crafts

etc.

Most of the auctions sites,offers you an exclusive page so you can show the details (even pictures) of all your products,”basic” prices, the date

of the auction and your contact information.

This doesn’t means that you don’t need your website…

Sincerely, a website it´s useful for many reasons:

Since you have more space,It allows you to describe your products with more details.

After you begin to sell your products in an auctions site, you can “redirect” the people to your website to offer them other articles.

You can use other commercialization methods (different

to those offered at the auctions site).

Advantages:

The clients will buy from you directly. And if the product is of their pleasure, you can “guarantee” that client and sell him others related things.

There are not limits in the amount of sales that you can do.

The majority of the serious auctions sites,promote instantly, and by differents ways, your offer.

Disadvantages:

Most of the auctions sites charges a small percentage of the sales.

Pre-sale service: you should dedicate some time in assist the consults and frequent questions that interested people leave in the auctions site.

Scheduling step to step:

1 – Acquire or create your own product

2 – Visit and investigate the different options of sales of those auctions

sites of the web.

These are the most popular:

http://www.ebay.com

3 – If you still don’t have it,develop your own web site!

4 – Publish the sales chart with details, extra pictures, etc.At this point,I want to emphasize that of the sales chart depends 90% of the decision that the potential client will takes.

This “chart” it´s, probably, the most important part of your business and you need to acquire some knowledge to elaborate it efficiently.

5 – Marketing: promote,promote and promote!

Put into practice proved marketing and publicity strategies that might assure you to guide a big amount of traffic to the page of your auction.

Those benefits will be links that takes directly to the page where they can buy the complete version.
