One way to find niche products is to look at accessories an product. For example, IPOD. They use plastic case covers and earphones. The IPOD itself is not replaced but people do change case cover (color, design, etc.) and this can include earphones. You get the idea. Just start looking you will come up tons of items that have accessories attached to them.

Go on line and start typing in products or words related to selling on line. You will be surprised at what comes up. If you do this thru Google once you have pulled up the information that you want look to the middle left of the page and there will be a number (1-10,000,000) that tells you that the item has 10,000,000 hits. Translated that means a lot of people are looking at it. That also tells you there is a market & profit there you just have to find it.

You can also research eBay to find what is selling. Go to eBay and type in the item. When it comes up scroll down the left side of the page and click completed listings. That will tell you how many items actually sold and what they sold for. The information can help you eliminate items and pick ones that people are actually looking for.

Next you have to find a source to get the products. You want to get as close to the manufacturer as you can. This gives you the best price. You have to look at a lot of products to find a couple that will work for you. I personally like ThomasNet.com First it's free. They list manufactures or wholesalers in the USA. They list by products or states. And you can compare up to 4 listings at a time. Good Luck!
