Hi belong to India and am an engineering graduate.

Instead of taking jobs I started to do electronics projects for college students and some companies in designing circuits. Along with it I gathered a team of like minded people (like me) to do business in technology. We had no fund. It was big zero, we all had some loans to pay off. Just enough money for our personal daily expense.

Somehow I manged to get a dealership from a company for selling mobile accessories. We couldn't keep any stock since we don't want to run any risk. We took orders from people and then bought the products and delivered to the customers.

We have few products of our own but requires more fund to make few of them. None of those companies here are providing the same product for the price and quality we made.

Now here is the issue. We are almost stuck. Both with fund and procedures. We are interested in sales of technology stuffs - gadgets or some high end technologies.

What kind of technology products We should try with for selling ?(please consider that some technology products can't be sold if it can't be understood properly)

I am sure that some people are out here who are real experts. I request your valuable advice and suggestions.

What about providing service to people who have purchased various technologies? In this country, there is the Geek Squad.

For instance, I own a cell phone that has many apps, but haven't a clue how to use most of them. I don't even know how to set the timer. People buy a new computer, take it home and lift it out of the box, and then are stumped as to even how to set it up.

Technologies are changing rapidly. If you buy up a lot of inventory, you may end up with a warehouse full of dead stock because a newer technology has been invented. At my library, books on audiocassette have been replaced by books on audio CD. Regular DVDs that we spent thousands on are being replaced by Blu-Ray, and 3-D is now on the horizon.

Hi, mordekai!

What I can help you with, is to get noticed on the Internet on the first pages in searches when people do look for what you do, where you do it.

If interested in knowing how to do that, please let me know on this thread.

Thanks!

Thanks for your reply wondergirl.

All mobile shops, cyber cafes and PC sales/service centers are providing this service there more than 10 in 1 sq.km. But its very bad here. Trust I tried once ! :D Also here people have a tendency to go for free or interesting things.

What ever I have sold till now are those which solve their real life problems. Like mobile phone radiation reducer, battery backup extender and similar one which people do care.

Then make a list of these things and add to it as technology changes. Can you work out a deal with manufacturers to purchase these things at a lower cost than what you could sell them to consumers?

I think you are speaking about SEO. (Please correct me if I am wrong)
I wish if I was in a state to do that because recently our Company registration procedures cost a lot. :( . I am looking to find some wholesale dealer like some drop shipping companies - hard to find a reliable one which works inside India. If I like the product I am sure I can get it into others brains too.

As you suggested I spoke to few and they want us to have a big office and have to keep some heavy security deposit for dealership (I don't like that because I am not interested to go behind legal issues - when he kicks me.). I will keep searching.

Sure I will do, a real valuable advice.
