so an online store can be really
lucrative but without a doubt the most
difficult part of making a successful
online store is finding a great product
if you have great marketing if you have
great website building abilities but you
don't have a good product you're
probably not going to be successful but
on the flip side if you're just okay at
marketing if you're just okay at making
your website but you have a great
product you can still have some pretty
substantial success so in this video
we're doing that work for you i'm going
to show you 10 of the best products you
can sell online right now and in
addition to that i'll show you how we
surface these products how we do our
research and how you can find some other
products of your own if something on
this list is is not for you but maybe
you want to find something different
we'll show you the tools we use to find
these products but before we get too far
in this video building a website is
still going to be really important
marketing is still going to be important
and one of the best tools we like to use
for both of those is actually the
sponsor of today's video which is
bigcommerce so i'll talk more about them
later on the video how you can build
your online store how you can really use
a lot of tools within bigcommerce to
make that's more successful but without
any more on that like i said we'll talk
more about that later on the video let's
jump into number 10 on this list which
is actually one of my favorites this is
a huge one and this is actually press on
nails which i know sounds weird but
there's a couple things that make this a
really great product the first thing is
that it is small it's easy to ship you
can have a massive inventory if you want
or you can do drop shipping and either
way it's going to be fast moving it's a
small easy to ship item secondly it's a
very easy discretionary purchase
somebody could be on tick tock or
instagram or any social media and see it
and say oh it's only like 20 40 60
whatever the price might be it's not
like a three to four hundred dollar
purchase it's low enough that somebody
could just kind of on a whim impulse buy
and order your product so that's the
second big thing the third one is that
it's actually really a great recipe for
repeat customers as people buy your
product if they like it the nails don't
last forever so they're going to want to
get new ones whether that is very
frequently for new styles or less
frequently just whenever they have to
replace their old ones it's a great way
to get repeat customers which is going
to cut back on your marketing cost
because you just send email marketing or
text message marketing or or just
retargeting ads to the same people that
already bought and again cut your
marketing cost increase your conversions
and really the fourth one is this is
something that it has a lot of space you
can be more creative and it's not like a
salt lamp like there's only so many
designs of a saw lamp you can really
have but press on nails
well you can have a lot of designs the
whole point of it is that it is a bunch
of designs so those are the four reasons
that this is really a great product to
start selling and you might wonder all
right that's great but how do i know
more people are interested in that and
less people are selling that well that
brings me to the first tool we want to
talk about in this video which is a free
tool it's one that we love using for
pretty much anything in marketing or
business in general and this is google
trends so if you think about what makes
a good product you want to have more
demand and less supply that's going to
mean that you get better margins you
have more people coming to you you have
an early mover advantage and looking at
google trends press on nails has
honestly the most beautiful product
graph i've ever seen it just goes
absolutely up and to the right and this
is something that wasn't really that
popular until maybe about 2018 has
started to take off and really 2020 is
when this started to really blow up so
this is kind of the perfect trend you
want to see whatever products you're
thinking about selling going on
trends.google.com and i'll link it in
the description as well you can type in
what you're looking for and it shows you
the graph you can search for 2004 to
present the past five years the past 12
months any time span and you really want
to see a graph that looks something like
this because this means people weren't
selling this before suddenly there's a
lot of demand and that means it's a
great opportunity for you to start
selling this no okay here we go i'm
getting real excited about press on
nails let's move on to the next one
there's plenty of other great ones on
this list honestly these are all
fantastic things to sell the second one
is a little bit larger a little bit more
expensive but it's a really popular one
among a slightly different different
demographic and this is a pizza oven so
if we go back to google trends and we
type in pizza oven you'll see this again
has a beautiful graph so pizza oven
you'll see this started off not really
that popular but a really really steady
growth and then right around 2020
honestly probably when people got a
stimulus check they went out and started
buying pizza ovens and the thing about
pizza ovens is and i've experienced
myself i don't own one but everybody who
buys one markets it to all of their
friends so if you're able to sell a
pizza oven to one person they're almost
undoubtedly going to tell everybody they
know to buy a pizza oven and on top of
that whenever people come over and they
make pizzas for those people they're
going to talk about the pizza oven
they're going to show them it they're
going to talk about where they bought it
and again a great way to not necessarily
have repeat customers hopefully not
hopefully of good pizza ovens but have
customers refer other customers to you
so you have that strong trend it's a
little bit more expensive to ship and
it's a little bit of a trickier market
to get into because you need to either
source a pizza oven or figure out how to
make your own but regardless a lot of
demand for this and a really strong
market that is on the rise moving up to
number eight on this list this is a very
very long trend that dates all the way
back to about the 50s until now and
continues to grow and evolve in a very
predictable manner which we think is
very strong indication of where this is
going to go in the future and this is
luxury dog items so if you think about
pet owners or people that had dogs back
in the 50s or the 60s or even into the
70s look at something like the if you
ever watch tom and jerry right the dog
lives outside in a dog house on a chain
always outside doesn't come in the house
that's how people had dogs back then and
then it evolved to house dogs and then
it evolved to now if you go outside with
your dog a lot of people won't even let
their dog lay on the grass they'll have
a special blanket or a bed or you know
they'll go camping with their dog and
have a special cot for the dog people
love to pamper their dogs and so again
on google trends if you look up
just dog if you just look up dog and
google trends you'll see it's on the
rise so people are getting more dogs
especially during the pandemic a lot of
people had pandemic puppies
meaning they wanted they're working from
home they have more time for a dog and
they want to pamper their dog so this
one isn't really a specific item it's a
little bit more of a creative field
where you can look at what would a dog
owner want to have for their dog what
would be like absolutely absurd luxury
right now but people are going to spend
more money on that they're getting pet
insurance they're getting all types of
different things a dog is basically like
somebody's child so think about that
it's really a massive industry and
there's a lot of room for creativity
there
moving on to number seven this is
similar to number eight in that it's
related to people working from home more
and also a different in a different
style and how people decorate their
homes this one is actually house plants
now actually selling house plants i you
can do it if you want to i wouldn't
necessarily recommend that as the best
online business it's tough to ship but
something that's easier to ship would be
house plant accessories or seeds to grow
your own plants now if you go on google
trends you can see people had house
plants in the early 2000s they really
weren't that popular until 20 probably
17 or 18 and then in the past year we
had that really big uptrend more and
more people getting house plants and
again this is another obsessive
cult-like group that people once they
have a house plant they're going to
start taking cuttings they're going to
give them to their friends other people
are going to get into house plants and
it's really a strong trend that self
perpetuates so selling any type of house
plant accessories would be a really
strong business model and of course on
top of that i would recommend finding
something that has a little bit more of
a niche that that fits in with a
specific style of crowd so there are so
many different house plants some people
want to just grow herbs that they can
eat some people want the big more exotic
plants they want monstera they want
things like that and so no matter what
it is focus in on that and really join
those communities that's going to be a
great way to find and first of all what
they want but second of all to really
get engaged and start marketing to these
people through groups on reddit or
facebook or instagram it's the people
that are interested in this are very
easy to market to because you know
exactly where they are they follow these
groups they're very interested in these
groups and it's not like a pizza oven
where it's you know some people might
not know they want a pizza oven house
plant people they know what they're
looking for number six on this list is
one that i've personally noticed a lot
as one of my other channels is a tech
review channel and this is actually a
magsafe accessory so iphones the new
iphone 12 and the iphone 13s have
something called magsafe on the back
which is a little magnet in the middle
that allows you to mount your phone
places while it simultaneously charges
and you can put like a wallet on the
back of your phone by a magnet you can
use it to mount in your car there's
really endless options for what you can
do but apple only has a couple different
accessories for this so the fact that
you have a magnet on the back you're
able to charge by the magnet means that
you can start selling your own products
for whatever you want that are mag safe
compatible so maybe you get a magsafe
mount for a treadmill maybe you get a
magsafe mount for like a bike like an
exercise bike or something like that
there's a lot of different options for
how you can charge a phone and mount it
at the same time using magsafe and again
people iphone is one of the best selling
phones especially in the united states
and a lot of people don't even realize
they have magsafe on the back you'd be
amazed i mean i'm telling you as a tech
reviewer so many people don't realize
that their iphone has magsafe it blows
my mind but it's something that because
they don't know that that's a really big
marketing opportunity you send ads out
to them you show them that their phone
what they're holding in their hand to
watch your videos to watch your ads is
something that can work really well with
your accessory and again this is a nice
little discretionary item you could sell
things for 10 15 30 whatever it might be
and not only could you make your own
products but this is a very easy one to
drop ship you can find other products
that work with magsafe and either
customize them or just drop ship them
straight up as they are and you could
have some pretty healthy margins there
number five is similar enough to the
pizza oven although it's not an outdoor
item this is an indoor item and this is
an air fryer air fryers especially check
out this google trends right here this
is becoming absolutely huge from a
health standpoint but also because of
like a flavor standpoint people they
want to cook with less effort they want
to have healthier food so they don't
have to deep fry their stuff not that
anybody really deep fries anyway but
they think it's healthier than buying
deep fried things and heating it up
which it can be if you want it to be and
it's so easy to clean so air fryers
again there's so many different
varieties out there they're easy to drop
ship they're easy to sell your own model
of this or whatever you want to do
airfryer is an easy product to sell on
your website i mean they basically like
didn't even exist before 2016 at least
not on google and then as you can see
right here a very strong uptrend more
people are buying these and this is
another one that people tell their
friends about i know as soon as somebody
gets an air fryer they tell everybody
they know to buy one whenever you find a
product that's like that that is a very
strong indication that it's going to be
a good product because it's new they're
excited they're telling other people
about that and it's gonna be really easy
to market your product to people like
that now number four has yet another
incredible google trends graph that i'll
show you in just a second but before we
get into that one i want to talk a
little bit more about the sponsor of the
video today which is bigcommerce now
i've talked about bigcommerce many many
times on this channel it's one of the
most powerful tools to make an online
store to build out your store and
integrate with a lot of other tools out
there whether that is facebook ads
snapchat ads email marketing campaigns
like mailchimp bigcommerce is right in
the center they make it easy to manage
your inventory they make it easy to
track your inventory as well they make
it easy to manage customers to build out
your website with almost no effort at
all and like i said i have full
tutorials all across this channel really
many tutorials and all you need to do is
start off by going to centralmedia.com
bigcommerce of the link in the
description down below that'll give you
a 14 day free trial and then after that
there's three different plans you can
choose from and it's very easy to scale
between them so you can start with the
smallest one just to get just to get
your ball rolling here and then over
time scale up as your business grows and
with each different plan you have some
different benefits with regards to what
the pricing is going to be
from the back end as well as the tools
that they offer and things like that so
bigcommerce like i said super powerful
tool thanks to them for sponsoring this
video definitely be sure to check out
that full tutorial after you finish this
video once you find a good product once
you do a little more google trends
research and you're ready to go ready to
start your your website that's going to
be a great path for you so with that
being said continuing on number four on
this list is actually matcha which is
really interesting this is one that is a
little bit more in line with health
foods or kind of like with teas in
general so i think by now you're
probably starting to pick up on the
trend of what kind of products we're
looking for and so matcha really checks
all four of the boxes the first one
being it's small it's easy to ship it's
pretty lightweight because people when
they make it they're adding water right
so you're not shipping it with the water
already in there it's literally
dehydrated you can't get any better than
that for shipping the second thing is
it's a consumable it's something that
people are going to have they're going
to buy more of it whether they want
different varieties or because they ran
out and they want more you're going to
have repeat customers which again makes
it perfect for marketing the third thing
is it's a group of people that are very
passionate about that in this case it's
more of a health focus or just teas in
general people love the flavor of that
and so you have two different things
that are both very passionate they come
together right here again great for
marketing and great for people to come
back to you again and the fourth thing
is that it has a really big rising
interest as you can see in google trends
ever since about 2014 it's been almost
perfectly linear up and to the right and
that means that you're going to have
more interest it's a strong trend
indicating a very likely possibility
that in the next couple years this is
going to be a really solid industry and
this is kind of one of the best graphs
we have out of everything because it's
less of a fad like a fad would be more
of a little hockey stick that pops off
in the past year and this is a gradual
growing interest in the united states
that again is a really strong indication
that you might have something that could
last a long time as a business now i
mentioned that a lot of times you want
to find long-term trends that can make a
strong business over many years and not
just a little fad right now like you're
not just gonna sell one item that's only
relevant to this presidential election
for example
unless that's your business model so
number three is an interesting one
because it's kind of a generic
open-ended kind of business model which
i think is is really interesting and not
as many people do it as i would expect
and this is print on demand mugs
t-shirts or other items that
change almost weekly or at the very
least a monthly based on the major
socio-political events or major sports
events or something like that and this
is something that for example if you've
ever seen if you've ever seen barstool
sports they do this all the time they'll
have new t-shirts like every single week
that are very related to who won the
last game or what kind of memes are
really popular right now on the internet
or things like that and so if you're
making things that are funny and then if
you're drop shipping them by print on
demand you never have to deal with
inventory you can change the designs as
frequently as you want people will buy
this stuff they'll be up to date
culturally relevant you can always have
a fun time marketing these based on
either a social account organic's going
to be a really powerful one here
especially for memes or news based stuff
but also through ads that you target
people who are interested in memes or
other news based stuff so this is an
interesting business model again i have
a full video on this as well how to
build an entire print on demand business
and like i said instead of choosing a
design one time for print on demand
maybe your business model is to just
always change it and so i don't know
that's interesting but leave a comment
if you do this
on what specifically you focus on i'm
very interested to see if you guys focus
more on news more on sports more on
memes or something like that moving on
to number two this one is going to be
again a little bit more open-ended this
one's more focused on how to find
specific items and this is going to be
unfortunately not a single item but
rather a group of items and this is
going to be nostalgic items for
millennials so as millennials but they
have a lot more disposable income than
they used to and because of that you're
going to have them purchasing more of
their nostalgic items that were popular
in the 90s or the early 2000s and with
that that's a lot of money right there
not only can you charge more money for
something that was maybe not even that
relevant back then but gives them some
kind of a nostalgia so maybe it's like a
landline like hamburger phone that
connects by bluetooth to their cell
phone or or you get the idea something
like that and this is why plenty of
other companies for example build a bear
workshop sells a lot of stuffed animals
to millennials believe it or not this is
something that was so popular back then
that adults want to buy it now and they
think it's a fun way to spend their
money so if you can find friends that
were popular in the 90s and early 2000s
and find a way to dropship them now and
again you can target based on age with
your with your social media ads very
very easy to target that group this
could be again a powerful business model
here that brings us to number one this
one is going to be
tick tock trends so if you go on tick
tock and just look up anything like tick
tock made me buy it or something like
that these are items that are going
viral on tick tock which means everybody
suddenly is going to want to buy it and
because of that you're not having nearly
as much supply this is something that
most the time was just a small item that
somebody found on amazon they thought it
was cool and then it blows up because of
tick tock and so if you're able to jump
on that bandwagon granted you will be
changing your business every couple
weeks but there could be a lot of money
to be made this is kind of similar to
number three except number three is
easier because that one's going to be
more about t-shirts and mugs and print
on demand that you just upload a design
every week and you're ready to go
number one here is definitely going to
be one of the more tedious more
cumbersome ones to actually work on but
if you do it right you can really make a
lot of money on all of these trends and
sometimes these trends can last as much
as several months so for example if you
got on the bandwagon back with fidget
spinners i know this is an overused
example but you know years ago when
fidget spinners came out if you started
drop shipping fidget spinners right away
you could make a lot of money and so
those trends are just accelerating more
and more popping up every day with tick
tock and instagram but really mostly
with tick tock so i would recommend
following some of those trends on tick
tock really looking into like tick tock
maybe buy it it's a really powerful
hashtag and start targeting things like
that so of these 10 items i talked about
in this video please leave a comment and
let me know which one you liked best or
any other items that you think might be
very popular if you enjoyed this video
