I'm new to the eCommerce world, and trying to get a grip on how it works. can someone critique my business idea?
I see a lot of posts about picking the right cheap but popular product from overseas and trying to ride the hype, but i have a different idea. I come from the Agriculture industry, and i search for and buy products on line from various websites quite often. Ive noticed over the years that a lot of these products, many of them niche, are from websites that i visit and buy from once, then never go back.
Is it possible to set up a dropshipping store and sell items based on what i know Ag producers need? Most importantly can i make it profitable? I can make a list of a hundreds of things that are needed, but the strategies i read about online never seem to address anything but "Find the new Fidget Spinner" and sell it while its hot.
TLDR; Is it possible to focus a store on items needed in a specific industry and provide as many of those products as can? Can that be profitable? Or is dropshipping just a find a Hype product/sell volume game and i should focus my efforts somewhere else? Thanks!
