Smaller Factors to Consider

HIGHLIGHTS:

Other practical factors (besides the "make-or-break" Big 3 factors) to consider when choosing your micro-niche are:
  • Catalog size - we recommend sticking with a small catalog size (i.e. 1 to 100 products)

  • Technical difficulties - avoid highly technical products prone to have installation issues, compatibility issues, and/or defective components

  • Customer service required - try to anticipate how much "hand-holding" will be required before and after the sale

  • Shipping issues - avoid super heavy products and super fragile products

  • Intent to buy - avoid products where searches are likely just browsing or surfing (rather than buying)

  • Touchy-feely - avoid product lines where shoppers will be sensitive about what a product feels like or what it looks like in person

  • Custom-made - be leery of custom-made products that take several weeks to custom-build & ship and which may result in dissatisfaction and/or returns

  • Target audience - steer clear of products that appeal to teenagers and kids

  • Potential legal issues - avoid high-risk products or potentially illegal products
See this article for more discussion on each of these factors
