traditional pattern of sales concentration.
• C. Anderson (WiredMagazine-2004): The
Long Tail
By lowering inventory storage,
distribution and search costs, digital
markets have the potential to increase
the collective share of niche products,
creating a longer tail in the distribution of
sales.
Now there are 2 markets to attack:
• Old Market: Top Sellers.
• New Market: Long Tail.
What percentage of your items are you selling at least once a month?

• A diverse collection of independently-deciding individuals
is likely to make decisions and predictions better than
individuals or even experts.
