-You're going to want to start with a much bigger list of potential products or possible product groups (i.e. box fans, or something).

-Then, you're going to have to do some research on what kind of profit you can net after purchasing the items from a wholesale goods provider and turning them around.

-Arrange your list of items according to the net profit you can pull

-Figure out how you can sell these items to the end consumers (online or in stores)

That's just the beginning, but its necessary to understand what you're dealing with before moving forward.

Nobody is going to tell you what you should start selling. If its a good idea they will do it themselves. When i first started out i bought bulk lots on ebay, the profit wasnt great but i turned $200 into $2000 in a few months, do some research see what is selling well and isnt over saturated, study your market. Notice stuff you find yourself buying that you question why am i paying soo much for this product. Every product category i sell is basically based on a personal experience with the inflated price of the product. Check out my site I Love My Niche! its just getting off the ground but feel free to ask related questions!
