What Makes a Good Product to Sell Online?
When considering a product to sell, ensure you calculate the total costs to you as a business and how much money you will make for every product you sell.
If you look at the most prolific sellers on platforms such as Ebay or Instagram, they tend to stick to the one range of products – and do that well rather than having a large range of products.
Costs you have to take into account include:
- Actual cost of the product to purchase
- Shipping costs to get it to you
- Packaging Costs
- Shipping costs to your customer (do you add shipping or include shipping)
- Any insurances you might need
- Marketing and Promotion Costs
- Insurance Costs
