I am starting an ecommerce website, and am thinking about selling electronics. Will I just be wasting my time? I dont want to spend the time and energy on electronics if I can spend the same time and energy on another product line and make more income. I know the competition is insane.
The margin is very low on electronics now. The Internet is the only way to go for a small business selling the stuff. The competition is fierce in anything. You will get maybe 3-4% selling electronics and as high as 15% selling other products. eBooks are even higher.

Two things to consider are not only the products you wish to focus on like CCTV for example, but also the price point you’re able to obtain the products for. If you are able to develop the relationships and finances required to import the product in volume from vendors overseas, you have more than just a good chance. So first find your niche and second find products that are both popular and profitable. Most of the money made on electronics today even in niche markets generated by high sales volume as opposed to high profit margins. Consider contacting a company like http://www.ecommercepartners.net/ or http://www.w3-edge.com/ and speaking with one of their staff before getting started.
