Something you know about.

Something you can sell at more than it costs to buy+selling costs

Something that is in demand and that demand is either not served or served poorly

There is no "magic bullet" that anyone can give you on this forum otherwise we would all be doing it and you would not make any money from it.

I read an article about this somewhere once... I do remember a couple of good points from it:

1. If it is a product it needs to be something that will ship relatively easily (think DVD / CD etc - cheap to ship and won't break.)

2. It needs to be non-perishable or at least have a long shelf life. Can't really ship ice via the internet :D

3. You will need to do some google analytics work to find out if people are actually searching for that product or service. Then figure out what the competition is like for search results. A good idea will have a high number of searches to low number of providers.

I am in no way an expert on internet sales but there is loads of info out there. Time to get reading I think:)
