Marketing and Promotion - Choosing a Product

Here are some tips to
choosing a product to market online...
1. Light and easy to ship. Avoid bulky
items like furniture.
2. Downloadable digital product like e-book or
software. This completely eliminates shipping
and handling costs. And also digital goods earns higher
commission, as much as 50 per cent, if you are selling
for someone else.
3. Not perishable or fragile. Perishables
require fast shipment. Fragile items require special
handling and packaging. These special requirements can
increase postage and handling costs.
4. Has enough demand but not so much competition
to make your business profitable. One way is to
check the Search Engines to see how frequently people
search for the your product choice. Then check the number
of times people searched for this product against the
number of sites competing to sell it. You can do this
easily with:
NicheBot
AffiliatesAlert has a free sofware program that
gives you information on the newest and hottest selling
products on Clickbank. The upgraded version gives you the information in real
time. You can have privy information on the newest
products that many people don't own yet.
5. If you own a website, the product must be
relevant to the content of your site. If your
site is about dogs, you should not be marketing weight
loss pills, unless they are meant for dogs!
6. Product that does not compete with big online
companies like Wal-Mart, Amazon. Big companies
enjoy economies of scale. They can buy things cheaper in
bulk, and they can sell things at a loss for longer
period of time.
Having taken into
consideration the above tips, you would have some idea of
one or more products that fit into a niche market. A
product that is relevant to your website...that has some
demand with little competition...that does not come into
direct competition with big online companies.
