 how many bids and clicks that those who are selling these coffee makers are getting. Of course there are many other ways to research this,such as market research software, and I will get into these in a later article. There must be a market to sell your products to, or you are just chasing your tail. This part is called "demand". Demand for the product that you are selling. This is why those home based businesses that are involved in "niche markets" seem to thrive. Before you should start selling these jumped up java makers, you should find out if there is a market of people who will by them from you.3) Where can you get these coffee makers. Are you getting them from the manufacturer or authorized wholesale distributor? If you don't you might be getting ripped off. Research your Sources! Do they drop ship? If not, then you will have to stock your inventory. You can save a grip of money by doing this, if you have the room to do this. Buying in bulk can save you money, if the shipping fees (do the research first!) don't eat all of your profits. If you are just starting out on a shoestring budget, then drop shipping might be your better bet.4) Do the math!!!Figure in all of your costs! After you have decided what to sell, you must figure what you are going to sell it for. Once you have added in selling fees (if you are using auctions to sell), you must consider shipping fees (if you are not using drop shippers), taxes, and any overhead that you might have. License fees and hosting fees, if you own your own site.(I hope these things that I have mentioned here do not discourage you, because these are the same things that you need to run any business. If these things do overwhelm you, you might want to consider affiliate programs for your first internet venture, as they cost nothing).With all this considered, you should still be able to make a profit with the product that you choose to sell. If the math don't add up to profit for you, then you should find a different product to sell.I have only touched on the basics here, but I hope that this article has explained the basics. I have also included some helpful resources.Regards,Troy Breitmeyer.About the Author:Troy Breitmeyer has been involved in Market Research, Web design and affiliate marketing since 1996 and has been interviewed on Chris Malta's "Common Sence Internet Radio.
