Everyone at sometime in their life has been sitting on the couch and thought, ‘I have a great Idea, I should sell it. I bet I would make millions.’ Or we have all had that idea then whacked it off, only to find the exact same idea marketed and profitable.
Because someone took the time and risk to act on the idea. There are two questions you can ask yourself and know right away whether they actually have a chance of success or not. The first question is “where can I get it?” And the second is “how much does it cost?”
You may be wondering just how two simple questions like these can make or break shear genius, well let’s see.
Where can I get it? If your extravagent idea is selling greeting cards online, then ask this question and you will find that it is easily answered. You can get greeting cards pretty much anywhere, including most gas stations in the travel supplies. So the odds of selling greeting cards successfully online are already in the slim to none category. Now ask yourself the second question how much does it cost? There is another easily answered question, they tend to run anywhere from a few cents to a few dollars.
So, will selling greeting cards online make a good online business? After answering those two questions I would strongly discourage the selling of greeting cards online. Most people will not buy and wait for the arrival of a greeting card online, when they can hop in their car, drive to local store and buy, and return home with a perfectly good greeting card within minutes.
Now let’s look at it from the other angle. What if your idea was a unique healthy energy drink with antioxidant? Where can I get it? How much does it cost?
By the answers from the two questions, I would sign up for the program and would have a good chance of succeeding online. It is a unique, specially made product which is scientifically proven and not found in your local convenient stores.
By the answers from the two questions, I would sign up for the program and would have a good chance of succeeding online. It is a unique, specially made product which is scientifically proven and not found in your local convenient stores.
With these two questions you will be able to weed out the light bulb moment ideas from the built to fail ideas. You will save yourself heartache and money by not wasting time on some ideas, and urging yourself forward on the money makers.
