    Hi, I am no expert but I recognise that you need to do your in depth market research to identify the product you  want to sell and to make sure there is a sufficient demand  for it. I must say that there is no ready answer to your question. This is mainly due to technology being just an enabler to broaden your market reach, and its simply not enough just to put any product online to make it sell. Especially that online buyers become more and more demanding and even competition based on price is not enough, or soon won't be enough as you need to add value to stay in the market let alone becoming market leader. And there is a lot more to consider. After you select your products than you can build a strategy on how to bring them to the market, but never ever spend your funds on the product that you have no clue if it will sell. Good luck!
