Is there a magical way to determine what products are popular and selling well? How do I come up with products, just at the top of my head?
Well, yes you kind of do. Products are all around us. We use "things" every single day that we wouldn't know what to do without. Start with things around your house. Items like your coffee maker, your television or camera. These have become the basic necessities of Americans and are always sought after. The only problem you'll have with the "every day" type of product is there's probably going to be a lot of competition on the internet too.
So, why not think about the not so obvious type of product. I have found that a lot of people were searching for something called a shower diverter valve. You know that thing in your bathtub/shower that changes the direction as to where the water flows? Turning it one way has the water going to the faucet and the other way makes the water flow go to the shower head. People and a lot of them were searching for this "thing" with very little competition.
A good way to discover whether or not people are searching for something is to use Google Keyword Tool. It's free and fairly simple to use. By putting in a word like "coffee table", Google produces hundreds of words with that variation and similarities with information about how many are actually searching for it every month. It will give you a pretty good idea if it is something that would get a good response if you built a website around it.
If you run out of good ideas about what could be selling out there, try going to a local department store like Walmart of Target and just walk around with a notepad. You'd be amazed at how many things you'll write down. When you get home, check those numbers in your keyword tool to see how well they rank. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised to what people are trying to find online.
