    If you're after selling goods, then you could just take a peak at ebay sellers with 100,000+ reputation points to see examples of successful stories that speak for themselves. Otherwise, people around here would eventually suggest selling a software product since it's a webmasters portal. I, for instance, got involved in developing such a product for someone not so long ago, and up to this date I'm in charge for regular maintenance / upgrades and customer support. This is something you might as well wish to consider investing into.

    yep, eBay was my first venture. I used to sell baseball cards on it about 7 or 8 years ago. I used to have my own I would list and built a client base where I would list for them. This is where the money was, because you could charge a dollar a listing and they would just add it to their shipping costs. So there was no money out of there pocket and nothing but profit for me.

    In the beginning it was about $100 a day (8 hour period). Eventually eBay came out with their templates and being able to use them over and over. This was a huge benefit because it allowed an individual to post 200 to 250 a day. You had to strategize what cards were going to be listed and a few other variables, but it was very beneficial.

    Since them I'm on to bigger and better things :)

    This is enough for it.It depends on various country.If I talk about India.Still people buy from shop or mall.not prefer to buy online because there lots of problem like internet connectivity,don't know how to buy etc.So you need to know where you are going to start you B2C sites.

    What ever you sell, you have to add value to it....if you don't understand what i mean, you need to hit the books!

    Wouldn't hurt adding some value to whatever you post as well, not everyone is supposed to understand what you mean.

    I agree.

    And lets not let value be an abstract word. If it is valuable to the market then it is valuable for you. People prefer & buy all sorts of junk that I don't consider to be valuable. But it doesn't matter what I think.

    Talk to your market. Ask them what they want. Solve a problem, even a small one. "Creating value" doesn't have to mean doing something new.

    A business mentor of mine makes 15k+ a month selling weight loss supplements. Are their products really more valuable than the mass of them out there? No. But as long as the market demands these products they will be provided. The value is in what people want not always what a good solution would be. We all know that a weight loss pill isn't the solution to the problem but a product that people buy in relation to it.
