Find Your Ebay Niche

After you've gained some experience selling on eBay

, you need to ask yourself what product category you want to focus on. Since you can buy and sell almost anything on eBay, there are hundreds of thousands of options to choose from.

I was getting started on eBay just a little while ago, and I didn't know what to sell. How did I choose what types of products to sell? Let me explain. I'm a gadget geek. I usually know what's going to come out before it's released. I keep tabs on Apple and know when they are going to update their iPhones. This isn't work for me because I like to do this.

It wasn't hard to go from my gadget hobby to selling gadgets on eBay. I sold my PlayStation 2. I sold a Gameboy and some computer games. It was easy because I knew electronics was my forte. After I ran out of things to sell around the house, I found an electronics wholesaler. They had webcams and computer accessories, and we still sell those to this day.

How does this story help you? Ask yourself... what do you like? Selling what you like will make your research and product buying a whole lot easier. Remember that whatever product category you choose to sell in, you'll be spending a lot of time working and figuring out what to sell. If you sell the types of products that you're already interested in, then the "work" of talking to suppliers and researching will be easier. (An added bonus is that if you sell what you like, you can always have one for yourself.))

Now, if you're just getting started on eBay, you need to realize that nothing is fixed in stone. If you have no idea what you like or what you could sell on eBay, the main thing to do is get started. Choose a category that you think you can develop. You can always change later if you don't know for sure. The main goal is to get moving forward.

Think about an airplane. Often planes take off from runways in the opposite direction of where they want to go. Once the plane is up in the air, then the pilot can make adjustments. The same thing applies for you when starting an online business. Getting your little plane off the ground by selling whatever you can is the first step. Next, once you've mastered the take off and basic skills of flying, you can choose which direction you want to go.

Again, the most important thing to do when you begin to sell on eBay is to build momentum. Don't travel in too many directions at once, because you'll never get anywhere if you do. Sell stuff around your house. Once you've run out of stuff to sell around the house, then you can pick a direction. Don't stress about it. Start by picking products based on your interests.
