Quietly, a new site has launched that give you a deep understanding of top selling items on the internet’s most popular shopping sites – a great way to brainstorm new market niches, product ideas or test your existing market for new ideas.
Not only do you get top sellers on eBay’s widely used auction site, which would be useful enough in itself, but you also get results from other highly popular sites such as Amazon, Craigslist, and Yahoo Shopping.
Get this, they claim to maintain history on over 54 Trillion sales transactions – WOW!
Mpire bills itself as a powerhous shopping portal putting powerful comparison information in the hands of the online consumer – and out of the shute, they look like they do just that very impressively.
They have assembled an impressive management team with several proven internet businesses behind them – including Expedia.com, the market dominating online travel site on the net.
As much as I like online shopping, there’s something I like much more — that’s having a clear picture of what niche market consumers are buying giving several clues into what they want and will want to purchase, especially in terms of information.
You can search easily by niche category and get a list of top sellers or a listing of top movers in the last few days indicating new or declining trends.
For example, you can look at books selling under the “hobbies” sub-category and find everything from T-shirt making tips to crafts for kids through knitting tricks as the top selling books in the hobby category.
You can also search under specific keywords, niches or categories to narrow your results to your field of interest.
There’s no doubt this will be a terrific market research tool for information product entrepreneurs, the fact that it has such wide coverage across the entire internet shopping networks is of very high value to us information entrepreneurs.
