This is my first comment too ~ you explained perfectly how to test a business idea before you lose the shirt off your back. You’re right, it’s easier to learn a 500 dollar lesson than a 9 thousand dollar one. Statistically – successful entrepreneurs have to try up to a dozen times before they hit the REAL thing and they know why testing is critical to perfecting a business venture!

Great job teaching a business must!

my first time commenting on your blog kidino :D

You make me remember jay abraham, the late corey rudl, and claudie hopkins who said it many many time that “marketing is about testing, testing and testing first”…

which means, in marketing, always test first before you go for real :).

very good insight from you kidino. Thanks!

Marvellous thought! btw, i’m new in this e-biz thingy and really agree on those thing u mentioned regarding advertisements. Well planning should be done before we proceed with anything. Without proper guide newbies may end up with spending money on unnecessary thing.

Hey, good for you … I know a duo who are good with this – SaifulSham.com. Maybe some time we can pay them a visit and have a chat with them about e-commerce and selling physical stuffs.

To be frank, I’m on the process of marketing and selling a physical product via online direct marketing. My kind of research would include market demand, competitive pricing structures, competition, my USPs, cost and also advertising budget. There is lot more going on there.

But one thing that I really agree on you is that we need to have some sort of market testing as a benchmark. You will never know what will come out even when the stats and figures might look good to you. So what I would do is to just stock in a couple of units of the physical product I’m selling. And if it can sell, then I would top up my stock inventory until the need to bulk purchase or wholesale.
