Here’s a short video I made showing you where to look on ebay Pulse to find new business ideas.
One thing to bear in mind here is that you need to think laterally, not just literally. For example, at one point we see a screen where there are several auctions for sewing machines among the “most watched” items.
Does this mean you ought to set up a business selling sewing machines on eBay? Well, maybe, if that’s something that fires you up - but you might also use that to spin off other possibilities like…
- selling sewing machine accessories and embroidery patterns (online or offline)
- sewing machine repair service
- sewing machine review and comparison website
- used sewing machine classified ad service or buy-sell-trade service
- information products on how to maintain, use, and get the most out of your machine
…and that’s just staying within the field of home sewing machines. Whatever connections your brain makes when it sees “sewing machine” will cause you to come up with even more ideas which might be completely unconnected to sewing machines. Write them down, go with the flow, and keep getting ideas.
