Outcome: Sell profitable products at my classes or online.
Purpose: Making a decent living from teaching yaga classes is extremely difficult unless you have 5 or more full classes each week. Selling yoga products will help increase your income.
Steps
Step 1: Get in the mindset of NOT thinking you have to sell generic yoga products such as mats, blocks, etc as seperate items. There are countless thousands of yoga sites offering that sort of stuff.
Step 2: Use your imagination to come up with some orginal, creative yoga products.
Examples of Creative Yoga Products
* Sell themed kits (e.g. Lazy Yoga: block, tie, eye bag, bolster, Bolster DVD).
*Sell yoga holidays/retreats even if you personally don't have a yoga holiday/retreat. Contact someone who does and ask for a commission per person you send there way.
*Sell personal development courses (contact someone who has a great looking course and ask for a commission per sale).
*Sell unique clothing. Whatever you do, you must stand out from the crowd. Do not sell run of the mill yaga clothes. This can be a great excuse for going on holidays. My mum taught me this. She used to own a jewellery shop and would take 2 or 3 holidays abroad every year searching for new products for her shop.
*Sell yoga products that are utterly unique. When you do that you're far more likely to attract customers from all over the world.
Step 3: Sell on eBay. eBay is still the greatest online platform for selling. The great thing about eBay is that the people are buyers. Whereas on the web 99% of people are searching for free stuff.
Step 4: Sell on your website.
Step 5: Find other outlets to sell your unique yoga products!
