At the ASD Trade Show is where I first met Craig and Jim Whillas of Kakadu Traders Australia. Their relaxing mood, thick Australian accent and display of rugged outdoor wear seemed appealing to me. I remember asking them what a Kakadu was. Little did I know that it was a National Park in Australia as well as a common bird there. We discussed their drop ship program and wholesale pricing.

It was pretty clear to me that if I wanted to sell handbags, glass pipes or anything with a Hannah Montana logo on it, there were many vendors willing to help me, but that wouldn't really be a niche now would it. How difficult would it be for a start-up e-commerce site to jump into a market already dominated by thousands of other companies?
In upcoming articles I will talk about the results of my new niche market. What went right and what went wrong.
The first thing you have to do is discover inside yourself what your passions are. If you could quit your day job and do nothing else what would it be? Why is this important?
