eBay I want it now
Myles Goodwyn who is credited to be the founder of the old rock band "April Wine" is originally from New Brunswick, Canada. I get a kick out of some of his lyrics... for example "Hard Times:"
"When the truck driver don’t wanna truck
And the hockey player won’t touch the puck
And the rock musician don’t wanna fool around,
it’s hard times"
Speaking of Canadians...
Apparently eBizBlog.ca is a Canadian government agency whose goal is to assist small and medium-sized businesses with technology issues. From their blog I learned about Christopher Saunders' article called "eBay Buyers Can Recommend Products" which announces that buyers can post the items they are looking for. This creates a great opportunity for sellers to do a little market research to find out what is hot and what isn't.
The article states "Sellers can then browse through these requests to discover buyers for their items, as well as get new ideas for what items are in demand."
This just made market research a lot easier, right?
Maybe... but what a lot of people don't stop to realize when they do their market research is one of the key elements. Yes... you find a niche that is buying certain products and services... but what you want to find out is if are they willing to spend money with YOU for these products and services and what are they willing to pay YOU for YOUR products or services. This point is often over-looked.
Don't let this stop you though. Visit pages.ebay.com/wantitnow to get started.
