3 types of products you can sell online TODAY
(highly profitable + scaleable)

// THREAD //
There are many aspects to running an eCommerce business

Ex. advertising, fulfillment, employees, customer service, etc.

BUT

It all starts with your product.

Here are three different types of products you can sell as soon as today
Type #1: Candy-like product

These are products that don't solve any real problems.

But, they bring pleasure + are fun to own.

Example:
Fidget Spinners.

If they become a fad?

Boom. Sales can explode + you can get rich, easily.

The downside:

Fame is fleeting.
Type #2: Vitamin-like products

Just like vitamins, these products offer long-term value + solve an emotional need.

The downside:

It's difficult to quantify the benefits.

Customers don't always know whether it works or not.

The key is turning these products into habits.
Type #3: Painkiller-like products

These products solve in immediate need.

As you might guess:

These are the best types of products to sell online.

I have students making millions per year selling painkiller-like products.

Solve a pain point + profit forever.
These are the three most basic types of products you can sell online.

Choosing what + what not to sell can be difficult, not to mention the many other aspects of eCommerce.

14 Elon Musk Quotes That Will Inspire Small Business Owners

//Thread// Image
“When something is important enough, you do it even if the odds are not in your favor.”

Starting a business will be one of the most stressful, painful, nerve-wracking experiences in your life.

It’s also worth it.

Makes sense why so many people start businesses after hitting rock bottom…
