Product Sourcing, How to Do find Products to Sell

A main problem with e-commerce sellers can be were to find things to sell.

• There are lots of websites out there that want to charge you for a little bit of information.
• I will give you FREE information, on Real Companies with real products.
• We will also discuss different ways to find products.

First you must decide what you want to sell, I always recommend selling something that you are passionate about. Sell items that you would actually go out and buy yourself. The reason you sell things is to make money, but selling things you enjoy will make it fun.

1. Write Letters to businesses, I know this sounds a little old fashion, but you could hit the jackpot. Medical Equipment for example, that’s big money, hospitals are always, upgrading their equipment. You can sell medical equipment to 3rd world countries for example, they could use it. Or maybe to new doctors offices starting out. Remember this is another form of direct advertising, and the more someone reads a letter, the more they will remember it.
2. Storage Units, here is a little unknown fact. When someone fails to pay their month storage unit bill, the storage unit has the right to auction all the contents in one auction. So check your local papers, for times and places, by law storage unit companies must place an add notifying the public of such an auction. IF you are to go to one of these auctions, you are not allowed to look through the contents, you are only allowed to bid on all the items as a whole.
3. eBay, most people only go on eBay to buy stuff for themselves or maybe for a gift. You can actually find real great products to sell as well. First look for auctions that go off at the middle of the night for example. Here is a big one look for misspellings on eBay, that link is very cool and you’ll be amazed at what you can find.
4. Look for closeout stores, going out of business stores. You can always, always find really great deals at going out of business sales. Not to mention Garage Sales, Rummage Sales, Flea Markets, all represent great opportunities to find a hidden gem. Keep in mind always look for what sells, avoid buying junk.
5. Trade Show are really great places to find new products, not to mention a place were you can get great deals. You can get good deals, mainly because you are face to face with someone, and use a little negotiating skills. Secondly you can find products that you can be very unique, and you can work out a deal to be the sole retailer of a certain product.
6. If you are looking for wholesale products, go straight to the source. If you want to sell infinity speakers (ex.) call infinity and see what it takes to buy wholesale products through them. You can in most cases get a better price going to the source, rather than working with a middle man. Most wholesalers will drop ship as well.
