Doesn’t it seem like a brilliant idea – starting a home business? And it is – after all what could be easier than sourcing some products from a wholesaler, reselling them at a profit on the Internet to a worldwide audience and enjoying a comfortable standard of living whilst working flexible hours from home.

Let me kick off by asking you a very annoying question:
“Are you a glass half-full or glass half-empty kind of person?”

In last month’s newsletter WRMM trending expert Sara Baugh brought us a detailed report about how to spot product trends in the marketplace. But, as you’ve probably realised by now, WRMM isn’t about money-making theory. It’s about money-making practice. So, in this month’s issue we’re going to build on the ideas in Sara’s report and show you how you can exploit trendwatching... and actually make some real hard cash from it.

Following on from the overwhelming interest in last month’s issue on trendwatching, the What Really Makes Money team has continued on their quest to find you proven ways to make you money though monitoring rising demands. We are working hard on a strategy of finding fast, clever ideas that you can turn around quickly. The idea is that you buy some stock of something, knowing that “something” is about to be in high-demand, then sell on for a profit... on eBay, on Amazon, at a car boot sale. Anywhere really! And before anyone else has even thought about it.

Last month Sara Baugh looked at some specific examples of products that seemed to be on an upward trend. This month I’m going to hand back over to her to show you all in more detail at how you can spot these trends.

Over to you Sara...

If there is one thing I am passionate about it’s finding proven ways that can make normal people money! And if there is one thing I admire, it’s an entrepreneurial thinker!

And over the past month the What Really Makes Money team have become obsessed with one particular method of finding fast, clever ideas to pass on to you! Ideas that you can turn around quickly – you buy some stock of something we suggest (and that we give you a great source of) knowing that ‘something’ is about to be in high- demand. Then sell on for a profit... on eBay, on Amazon, at a car boot sale. Anywhere really!

So we’ve been researching around the clock – figuring out exactly how we can pick up on the most promising consumer trends, insights and related hands-on business ideas before anyone else.

Then it suddenly occurred to me that the method of finding those ideas is perhaps even more valuable to you than the ideas themselves.

So, I’ve asked one of the What Really Makes Money team, Sara Baugh, to talk you through some of her methods for researching emerging trends. And then give you some real-life examples that she’s found over the past month.

Over to Sara...
