New Experiment Selling Physical Products via Social Media
I have just ordered a small quantity of unique products that I am going to use as test and try to sell them using social media websites mainly Twitter, Facebook ,and Google Buzz.
From my eBay selling experience I have some connections with dropshippers and wholesalers in China so I am able to get my products at a great price. The product I am going to be selling is the type of product that is cool to own and once and a while you might realize you need or want to own one and people seem to be tweeting a lot about them.
My idea is to have an main website and also a very active facebook and twitter account. When people talk about the product on twitter I will write a response back to them saying we have them to buy for a price that as far as I know is one of the best on the web.
On facebook I am going to offer discounts and giveaways to my fans and hopefully they will help spread the word. I also want to try facebook advertising because of its amazing ability to target users. You can pick gender, age group and even interest. I think that this is the future in online advertising and I want to see just how well it works.
As for domains I am going to have a main memorable website and also smaller sites that I can rank for their exact keywords to drive traffic and links to my main website.
My order should be here in the next few days and I have everything in place so I will keep everyone updated on how it goes after I am done.
I am going to do all of the shipping myself for now as I already ship many products a week for my current eBay business so I have the process down to a science.
Do you have any suggestions or think this idea is horrible?
