What are Some Popular Product to sell on Shopify

This article is about a question that was asked on Quora - what are some popular products to sell on Shopify and below is my answer:

Selling online most especially setting up your stores with popular online marketplaces like Amazon, Shopify, eBay can be a cool way of earning money online from the comfort of your home. To get started with e-commerce as a beginner you must first decide or know the niche that you want to be selling into instead of merely jumping into the bandwagon of opening a store for anything that goes as the end result might be a catastrophe. To do this successfully, you must do thorough research using popular sites like Amazon, eBay, Etsy, Bigcommerce, Shopify and search engines like Google, Yahoo, Bing and Social Media Platform like Facebook, Pinterest, Instagram, Reddit and others. While it is possible to sell a product that you yourself do not like or use, the cons is that if you get to answer inquiries from your potential customer, you might not know how to answer him/her very well and the customer might move away to another store, remember, what you are selling is not your own brand, thus others are selling into the same category like you are.

So you need to do your research, decide on the niche you plan to be selling into, have a good knowledge of what it takes to sell successfully the products and then you can begin the process of opening your store on Shopify. Another beautiful thing about Shopify is that sellers use drop shipping to sell on Shopify as this is what they actually encourage you to do as a beginner instead of buying inventory that you might not sell and at the same time looking for a warehouse to store your merchandise. Now to answer your questions, I have detailed below some of the most popular products to sell on Shopify:

Home and Kitchen items like blenders, crystal water bottles, kettle and other kitchen accessories

Health and fitness items - people want to be healthy these days and also to be fit.

Garden/outdoor items - it is in demand throughout the year.

Electronics and gadgets - people never get tired of buying electronics and gadgets.

Baby items - baby products are always in high demand and babies come into the world every second of each day.

Sports items - like yoga pants, sunglasses, gym sports equipment, accessories and more.

Beauty items - more especially selling into the women’s niche

Toy and Games - is a popular niche and new toys/games come into the market on a regular basis.

Like I said earlier, you must do your research, know what people want to buy as buyers are looking for what will solve their problems. Not only that you must be able to write about what you are selling or answer buyers’ questions when you are asked, otherwise you might not make a success selling online whether on Shopify, Amazon or other marketplaces.
