Something a lot of people don’t know about me, in my previous life while slogging away at an office job, my first attempt to break out of the rat race was by selling on Ebay. This was back in 2002 and 2003. I actually started making some money, mostly selling laptops for about $150 profit a pop. The problem was the logistics of running the auctions, carrying expensive inventory, dealing with customers who never paid, and shipping were huge negatives. I totally hated it. Luckily, a few years later I discovered other ways to make money online, eventually affiliate sales, and I have never looked back.
That being said, Ebay is still a great resource to find trends as they are a huge driver of the market. Their research can be used to focus your affiliate campaigns, and help find hot holiday keywords that are going to surge. Now is the time to start getting these campaigns built up so without further ado, here is the top 25 hot products list for 2007:
