Before You Can Make Money Online, You Need To Do This

Hey there!

You’ve heard the stories of people making an incredible amount of money online. Sometimes it’s a little hard to believe. But the stories are true.

When you investigated further, you were amazed to discover these weren’t the online versions of Donald Trump. Usually, these folks who are pulling in all this cash are just regular people. People just like you and me. Average folks.

Then it hits you, you can do this too. You can make money online too. And all you have to do is create a simple ebook and start selling it on Clickbank.

So far so good. But here ís where the wheels come off the money-making bus for most people.

Because you hear so much about making money with ebooks, aspiring online marketers often start working on their ebooks immediately. Eventually they finish the ebook, create a sales page and start driving traffic to their site, at which point they get an unpleasant surprise!

No one wants to buy the product. And so they don’t make a dime. Worse yet, all the time and money already poured into the venture are completely wasted.

So how do you avoid this nightmare scenario? It’s simple, really. All you have to do is find out what your market wants and then give it to them. (As opposed to guessing what they want and then writing an ebook no one wants to read!)

Here’s the secret to finding out what people want: Simply find out what they’re ALREADY buying!

You see, you don’t need to reinvent the wheel. You shouldn’t guess. And you shouldn’t try to force products on people that you think they need (because if they don’t also want these products, you’ll go broke trying to convince people to buy them).

Here’s how to find out what people are already buying in three easy steps:

Step 1: Go to Clickbank.com and view the marketplace. Either browse the categories or use their search function to search for niche products. Those products at the top of the search results and categories are the bestsellers.

Step 2: Visit Amazon.com. Next, go to Amazon and run a search for your market keywords (like copywriting or making candles). Those books appearing at the top of the search results are the most popular products in the niche.

Step 3: Run a quick search in Google. Finally, enter those same keywords into Google and see what pops up in the regular search results as well as the sponsored results. What are the top sites in your niche selling?

Once you complete these three simple steps, you’ll know exactly what your market is already buying. And then all you have to do is make a similar but better product! You do that by studying the competition, finding the flaws in their products, and making sure your product doesn’t include those same flaws.

TIP: You find out a product’s flaws simply by reading and using the product for yourself. But you can also search online for product reviews (check Amazon for starters). If you see customers repeatedly mentioning a weakness of the product, then you’ll instantly know how to create a better product.

Now that you know what your market wants, what’s the next step?

This is something I haven’t yet tried out.

Good idea.

However, I should add that in business, there is always a risk, there are actually no guarantees. This guide will help better the odds by 50-75%, depending on the quality of work.

Then again, you won’t know until you try. So maybe I’ll give it a shot.

I couldn’t agree more, there is always a risk in anything. This is a good way to help minimize your risk. Much easier to give people what they want, rather than trying to sell something they don’t want. Wouldn’t you agree? I believe it was Zig Ziglar who said “You can have anything you want, as long as you just help enough other people, get what they want…”

Ann,

Love the simplicity of this post… Build it and they will come doesn’t work no matter how you slice it.

Find out what’s selling and then build a better product.

Thanks for the reminder… Be back soon,

Cheers,

Thanks for your feedback Rob. I actually think it was the late, great Corey Rudl who made me realize this. He discovered it way back when he was first playing with marketing online, way back in the days when internet marketing wasn’t quite yet born I believe. He was always testing things, finding out what was selling and what wasn’t, and making what was selling, better

Hi Anne Marie

Thanks for coming by my blog.

Yes I would definitely agree, before you can accomplish anything in life you need to establish the right mind set, I dont care if it’s a getting the job you want or starting a multi million business, if you have the right mind set and stick with it there’s a very good chance you’re going to succeed.

Talk to you soon Anne.

hey annie,

another way to “stimulate” traffic to your site is to ping your blog post to a handful of the more popular SMM sites. i’ve noticed recently a large spike in my traffic by using the “share this” widget and send my post an quickie review to stumbleupon, digg, delicious, and a few other bigges.

the aggregation sites that will “push” you post to a lot more sites.

if you include a YT video to your post, make sure to link them back to each other

whipping up a quick ezine, ehow, article dashboard diddy helps and if you’re motivated, doing squid lens and a hub page wraps a nice ribbon on the traffic generation engine.

all for now,

neil

ps: come back and visit FerreeMoney, I’m using a new theme and would like your take on it?
