Think of a product about which you have some significant knowledge, interest, or skill.

• What kind of hobbies do you engage in and what products are involved in those hobbies?
• What kind of products do you use on a daily basis that you could perhaps come up with a unique image design for, or that you think could be improved in some way, then come up with your image designs or improvement designs and create your new product(s)
• What skill sets do you have from your current/previous jobs or career that can steer you toward a particular market? Are there any gaps in that market as far as a need for products or services that you can offer?

Number one piece of advice: if you plan on running your business long term, find a market that YOU have an interest and/or skill for. Otherwise, you will get burned out pretty quickly!

Good luck!

Hi Edison,

For beginners, I suggest that you choose commoditized products and niche products since they are easy to sell and have a lot of potential for creating profit. 

• Commoditized products: essential, high-demand or popular goods/services. Examples: foods, drinks, keyboards, computer components, etc.
• Niche products: unique products that serve a specific group of customers. Examples: handmade dolls, clothing, etc.

After having some products in your mind, you could choose one or two of them via these questions:

• Can your product solve a problem?
• Do you passionate or having enough knowledge about it?
• If success, can your product become popular (branding potential)?
• Is your product on trends or has the potential to be on trends?
• Can your product be sold globally? Is shipping costly?

If your chosen products met these criteria then you could begin to sell them right now.
