To find a quick answer to the above question then it does indeed help if you know how to carry out research. If you have a fairly accurate understanding of what people want to buy then it certainly helps with regards to how successful you could be in selling.
It is simple, what people wish to buy is what you need to be selling. You do not want to sell something that no one is buying. It is the holy grail of all salespeople that nothing is better then finding hungry buyers waiting for your product with credit cards in hand. Most online buyers are only interested in what THEY want to buy.
The person who is selling this product is not of one bit of interest to the buyer. If you happen to be able to position yourself to provide exactly what they are looking for then your chances of making the sale vastly increase.
Quite often the first mistake online sellers make is to try and sell a product that there is little or no market in. They create a product or start selling someone else's product and then try to find a market for that product. Do you see how this approach can lead to failure? This is why market research is so important.
There are hundreds of ways to find out what people are looking for and what people are buying and there are hundreds of websites where you can do free market research. You just need to know where to look.
There is an excellent product on the market that will teach you how to become a market research sleuth. It's called, “How To Research A Product”.
This training program comes with nine videos and four ebooks all targeted to how to do market research.
Do yourself a favor and do the research into what people are buying before you start selling any old product.
You'll be very glad you did and your bank account will thank you too.
