Whats the best market to get into?

This is a very difficult question and hard to answer with a single avenue.
I would suggest selling whatever you are passionate about.

Thats ture, but i still don't think my passions are going to make me any money. LOL

Hi David,
We are always looking for agents http://xceedtowels.com

We are the only company in Aus specialising in oshibori towel. We supply the towels ready packaged all you need to do is find customers. We also do wet wipes with clients name and logos on. Great thing about this is once you get a customer you get repeat orders weekly. We give agents a % and the profits compound for no extra work ( unless the customer quits). No investment except your time. We supply all over Aus including Stamford Plaza, Sea World Nara Resort, Sushi Train Australia, Nobu Japanese Restaurant Melbourne etc.

Cheers Andy

Before I got into business of firstly pool tables and then gym equipment (both interests of mine), the market which interested me most was the Property market.

I still love it and have just come back into it late last year and will start to build a duplex development this year from business profits.

I believe that the property market will pay you handsomely in the long term and the leverage available makes it very appealing.


But for consumer products, I have always favoured bulky goods with a high component of material cost over items such as common electrical goods.
Bulky, non electrical goods rarely get damaged or have faults or warranty problems.
If you have the right handling and transport/logistic systems, then the target market is huge.

Another reason I stayed away from small items is because they are so easy to handle and anybody can do it. I wanted to do something which not many people could do (mainly because of all the heavy handling involved), so the sellers are definately limited for such items.

I think you have to look at where you can get edge and take advantage of it.
If you have no edge, then where is your gain going to come from?



Good Luck

I like your thinking Spider. That's not something I'd considered previously.

I'm certain of the markets I'd want to avoid (I have no interest in consumer electronics for instance), but I've always been very open about what I would consider otherwise.

At first it was the crafts business that I got into. I sold these to the crafts stores near my place which were helpful to go ahead with my business.

My business option started off with good recipes selling. Being a good cook my first business started of with catering which was even made online. Later I had to discontinue this and now planning to start my business in baby products.

I think that Dave is only trying to say that you should love whatever your selling and your not in it for the money. If you have a passion for babies then I could say that your chance to succeed is high. You will be burned out if you don't like what you are selling.
