Step 2 - Find Something to Sell 'Em!
Welcome back.
You've had a few days to work through Step 1 of the 7 Steps to Making Money Online...FAST! process. If you missed the first post, you can check it out here.
Today, we'll look at Step 2 -- Finding something to sell your rabid market of buyers.
After the keyword research in Step 1, we identified several niche opportunities ...
...around the basic concept of iPod enthusiasts. We discovered thousands of buyers in iPod forums as well as through keyword searches.
But I don't have an iPod product to sell and don't even know much about iPods (shh...here's a secret. I don't own an iPod. Don't tell!)
Does that matter? Probably not. All I have to do is find someone who does have an iPod product that matches my market...
But I don't want to sell physical product since that would require a major investment and a ton of inventory. Selling informational or digital products is more to my liking.
Finding Digital Products to Sell is a Breeze!
The best place to look for that
type of product right now is ClickBank. And fortunately, I've got just
the tool for digging into ClickBank's deep database and doing analysis.
It's called ClickBank Account Manager. It's so cool. Take a look here:
With this tool, I can transfer the majority of the ClickBank product database to my server, and slice 'n dice it anyway I want.
For example, I input iPod in the Product Search window. CBAM returns a table with 43 line items (including some duplicates because the same product can be listed in multiple categories). Click on the picture at the left to see a larger version.
If I click on the "gravity" column, it will rearrange the products by the highest gravity score. Gravity is ClickBank's way of measuring the most popular and successful products.
Of the all the products containing iPod as a keyword, I've chosen five to investigate. By right-clicking on the vendor name and choosing "Copy link location" from the pop-up menu, CBAM saves the affiliate link to my clipboard with my ClickBank nickname embedded automatically. The five products I've chosen are below. Click the image below to see a larger view.
Click the links below to see each product:
The last three of those are iPod "how to" manuals. I may use those for further sales opportunities, but the first two are peer-to-peer download sites.
Go back to CBAM and we'll see those two have the top-rated sales figures:
Both pay 75 percent commission and a healthy commission over $21 per sale.
Which should I sell? I don't have to choose yet, because I can split-test them to see which converts better. (That's why I've chosen five products by the way -- to test conversion of them all.)
Okay -- we've found products. But there's much more to do here such as cloaking my links, setting up the split-test redirects, contacting the vendors, and investigating the competition more thoroughly.
Unfortunately, it's way beyond the scope of this e-mail series. But an eBook with videos detailing the entire process is coming. If you'd like to add your name to the waiting list, fill in your information below.
Now that we've found product, we'll move to Step 3 in the 7-Step process -- Putting together a minimal business infrastructure.
