Hey, just looking to pick some brains.

So... my wife's sister who lives in the Philippines, (jungle part) sold her hair online... Got totally ripped off - thats a whole other story.

Since then, with our help she has been listing her cousins, friends and relatives hair and been doing ok. They make a sale every couple of days. Not a lot by our standards, but a couple of months worth of living by theres, which is awesome.

We have been listing their hair for them on specific buy and sell hair sites, which is the obvious choice.

I am from Australia and Craigslist is almost non-existent here. Maybe the US one?

Just looking for ideas outside the box.... Has anyone any experience with this. Maybe she could start a Alibaba store selling her products... i really dont know. PPC?

    They were too impatient to use scissors?

    Could be a lucrative business, depending on how much buyers are willing toupée.

    Any posts on this thread about this exciting business opportunity will suffer from a complete lack of enthusiasm from at least one regular poster.

    Geesh, l hate to blow the thread title, but there is pretty stiff competition out there....


    With product testimonials like "The Babes are Back" and "I can't believe that l look this,.....ummm, maybe not that one" how could anyone resist.

    Apparently it is also waterproof, (ignore the toxic smell).

    I know a hairy subject, and l came within a whisker of putting up a cat image.

    PS, a note to mods, l am not endorsing this product if it is still available, which l pray that it isn't, and l would rather be tortured by listening to Justin Beiber music than endorse this.

    This all depends, here's what I would do. I'd do a test run on PPC just to gauge the value of the niche. If it works out well in that direction, that is when you would implement social media and SEO. It might be a lucrative opportunity to break into a niche that's not overcrowded. This is the first I have heard of it, but there is a first for everything.

    P.S. Don't forget PR opportunities as if it is truly in demand, it will surely catch on via that route as well.

    Yeah you can try Alibaba is a good source for selling products. But also try Amazon and eBay as well. They are good too.
