Picking Good Dvd Titles is what Seperates the Successful Businesses from those that Fail



Everyone gets excited about new release dvds. Personally, I don't like new release dvds. I consider them high demand low profit items. They are at a premium for everyone. My goal is to make $2 - $3 per dvd. I've found I only make this same $2 - $3 on a new release dvd that cost me $15 - $19. I would much rather make the same $2 - $3 on a movie that cost me $6 - $8.

I really like movies that are a couple of years old. This is the category I put most of my time into. What titles you decide to sell is totally up to you. It is important that you spend enough time doing the research before you buy a lot of titles that you can't sell.

What I normally do is tell all of my customers to research the top dvd sellers on Ebay. Just take a look at their past auctions and see what type of dvd's they are selling. What you will find is that these guys never sell new releases.

So if I Shouldn't Sell a New Release DVD Then What Should I Sell?

Researching titles is the most important thing you can do. If you go to ebay and click on "Advanced Search", you can search by seller, and then refine the search to completed items. This is a good way to look at the past auctions of these top sellers I mentioned and see what titles are selling.

Don't limit yourself to just looking at the auctions of these top sellers. If you browse the dvd category on Ebay, you'll find lots of sellers to take a look at.

When I find a title that is a good seller I add it to my "Buy List." As you do this you will see that the list of sellers will grow tremendously. The process may seem slow at first, but after a few weeks you should have a fairly large list.

My recommendation is that you devote between 5 and 10 hours a week just researching titles and adding them to your Buy List. By the end of your first week you may very well generate around 100 titles. Then after about a month, you will see that you have a few hundred good selling dvd titles.

I have the "Buy List," but I also have a "Do not Buy List" as well. Some titles will wear out their welcome and their sales will begin to drop dramatically. I then refine my Do Not Buy List, and add these titles to it so that I no longer buy them.

Another Great Point

You will not make money on every title that you offer. The goal in your business is to make the maximum amount of profit on every title that you offer. My advice is that you don't waste your time on titles that you think will sell well, because most likely if you think they will they probably won't. Research big selling titles (and these do not have to be a new release dvd) and find the ones that you can see a two to three dollar profit on. When you find these add them to your buy list.
