What to Sell Online to Make Money

I have wanted to discuss what to sell online to make money since I have discussed how to select the right online money making ideas.

More so, what to sell online to make money comes to my mind whenever I am discussing online business opportunities with people. It is obvious that almost everyone wants to leave the rat race and start building an alternative income solution working from the comfort of their home. The answer to what to sell online to make money is easy to give, but most people find it rather difficult to grasp and implement. Here is it, first and foremost discover what a large number of people really want. Then create or source a product that specifically satisfies that demand. Finally package it in an attractive offer and bring it to the marketplace. You may read - Reason Why Some People Could Not Make Money Online.

Unfortunately this process seems to be counter-intuitive for many. Generally they come up with brilliant ideas for products they believe everyone would and should buy. They invest large amounts of time and money on what they believe rather than what people really want and keep on failing disastrously over and over again. They really are the quintessential impression of Einstein's definition of insanity, in his own words they "Keep on doing the same thing and expect different results".

So what should you sell online to make money? In my experience, rather than rediscover the wheel or rely on guesswork, the best approach is to find out what other online businesses are already successfully selling and do what they do if you have the time and resources to produce products of the same specifications and quality. Alternatively, just find the way to source the same product and market it in exactly the same way as those successful online businesses. You may also like to read - Marketing Products and Services. 

It may sound unethical, but it is exactly what everyone already does, especially when selling digital products online. Think information products as an example. How many eBooks on "how to lose weight" are there in the market already? Literally thousands; they may be slightly different from one another, but they all speak to the same huge crowd of hungry buyers.

I recommend an approach - especially to beginners with little online marketing knowledge and experience, to buy into an already successful online franchise business based on digital training and information products to sell online and start making money. Everyone knows that knowledge is power and in today's world accessing relevant information, learning new and keeping previously acquired skills current is extremely important and in high demand.

Add a proven marketing system with outstanding products already sourced and ready to sell and you have a winner. Even better if the franchise business is based on a one time purchase figure and does not charge recurring fees. And what if the franchise reseller rights were also included and you could immediately become the "franchisor" rather than just be a franchisee? If you do not know what a "franchisor" is or does here is an excerpt from the Business Dictionary: "The franchisor gives the right to the franchisee to run the franchise, in return for an agreed-upon fee".

Then you would have not just a product, but a complete, proven and very attractive business opportunity to sell online to a huge crowd of buyers constantly looking for one. You would give them what they want, brilliantly solve their problem, become their hero and make lots of money in the process.

Don't Give Up On Your Dreams

You might have tried one thing or the other and failed, a lot of successful people today have in one time or the other in the past pursued their dreams but failed, yet they grew and developed to reach their potentials and accomplish by not giving up.

A marketer (who is now making a full-time living on the Internet) said he had been trying to make money online for seven years without much luck, but wasn't giving up. Now, that's what I call perseverance, but it goes on to show, like they say, 98% of those who try to make money online fail. But I believe that anyone who puts forth the right effort and continues to believe in himself can not only make a living online, but can also do some good in the world by his actions. When creating your online business, select the right online money making ideas, focus on giving-not getting-and the rewards will follow. We are very fortunate that we as marketers, have so much to give. By sharing our knowledge and our genuine concern and support with others, we can live the type of lifestyle that we want. Remember, there is no truth greater than the knowledge, that the more you give, the more you receive.

Yes, these are tough times! Some of you around the world are struggling with your money being devalued, job loss and other things beyond your control which bring about difficult times. These are to be looked upon as challenges and they are usually predictable occurrences which we all face at some time in our lives. How we face them and what we do when times are tough are so very important.

A lot of time the most common solution to our problems are contemplated, and that is, that the pasture looks greener on the other side, but ask yourself, is it really? Here are some things to think about, tough times never last, but tough people do! When you've exhausted all possibilities, remember this... you haven't!

A lot of people have tried and yet failed in their quest to start an internet marketing business. But ask yourself, did all those that have made millions or even just making a full-time living on the Internet do it from scratch right out of the gate? Probably not, I'm sure they had failures and had to start again. So what is the difference from them and the 98 per cent that fail? Could it be that they just would not give up?

Don't quit, you can always learn more, grow and develop to reach your potential which you can accomplish by not giving up. Remember too, that failure is only temporary -never permanent unless you let it be.

Top 10 New Year's Resolutions for Business Success

The end of the year is a good time to reflect on your business's progress over the past year and plan how you want your business to develop. Sure, you want increased success in the coming year, these top 10 New Year's resolutions are designed to help you achieve a truly satisfying success in the New Year. So improve your business with these new year's resolutions.

1. Learn how to delegate and delegate like a boss: There are so many things to do when you're running a small business, it's easy to delude ourselves that we need to do all of them. Then we wonder why we're so tired and frazzled and have no time to do anything else! Determine Your Personal Return on Investment, and decide to let someone else do some of the tasks for a change. Delegation is the key to a healthy work-life balance.
2. Promote your business regularly and consistently: Too often the task of promoting a small business slips to the bottom of the to-do list in the press of urgent tasks. If you want to attract new customers, you have to make promotion a priority. Make a New Year's resolution to hire a marketing expert, or take the time to create a marketing plan on your own and follow through.You may read, marketing products and services. 
3. Waste not, spend less: There are plenty of things you can do to reduce waste, and therefore business costs: Reducing paper usage, turning off unessential lights, putting unused equipment to sleep, carpool, etc. Small changes could make a big difference- you might be surprised.
4. Learn something new: What you choose to learn may be directly related to your business or completely unrelated. Learning something new will add to your skills and add a new dimension of interest to your life. Depending on how you choose to learn, you may meet new and interesting people, who may become customers, colleagues, or friends. You will find the time to learn something new by delegating, remember?
5. Join a new business organization or networking group: There's nothing like talking to other business people for sparking new ideas, refining old ones, and making contacts. Whether it's a group specifically designed for networking or an organization dedicated to a particular type of business, making the effort to be a part of a group will revitalize you and your business.
6. Give something back to your community: There are all kinds of worthy organizations that make a difference in your community. Make a New Year's resolution to find a cause that matters to you, and give what you can. Make this the year that you serve on a committee, be a mentor, volunteer, or make regular donations to the groups in your community that try to make the place you live a better place. Nothing will seed and grow goodwill for you and your business better.
7. Put time for yourself on your calendar: It is important to take time to recharge and refresh yourself. All work and no play is a recipe for mental and physical disaster. So if you have trouble freeing up time to do the things you enjoy, write time regularly into your schedule to "meet with yourself" and stick to that commitment. If you won't invest in yourself, who will?
8. Set realistic goals: Goal setting is a valuable habit - if the goals lead to success rather than distress. Make a New Year's resolution that the goals you set will be goals that are achievable, rather than unrealistic pipe dreams that are so far out of reach they only lead to frustration. Realistic goals is the first step to your success in business.
9. Drop what's not working for you and move on: All products aren't going to be super sellers, all sales methods aren't going to work for everyone, and all suppliers or contractors aren't going to be ideally suited to your business. If a technique or a product or a business relationship isn't working for you, stop using it. Move on. Something better will turn up.
10. Refresh for growth: It’s now or never. With a fresh start and a new year, now is the time to grow your business. Get a new client, hire a new employee, or move to that larger space. 

Although many of us make a New Year resolution at the beginning of a New Year but we do it more out of a custom than with actual planning. Also, people don't spare much thought in finding out what he/she will actually like to achieve in the year. Hence, the success rate with New Year resolution is actually poor. If you need more help on making resolutions that will be successful, How to Make a New Year Resolution has more tips for you. Now is a time to make changes for the better.

Gain Traffic From These Three Sources

Traffic is an important aspect of any type of website, especially for Internet marketers. No traffic means zero potential clients, sales, or visitors in general which leads zero profit. There are many different methods for gaining traffic, but below I've listed three methods for doing so.

YouTube:
YouTube is one of the most populated websites out there. If you create good quality, helpful videos you're sure to get a few subscribers and followers. Of course, those subscribers will be interested in your stuff so they will be sure to check out your site and potentially sign up if the squeeze page is looking good.

Social Media:
Facebook and Twitter are the most popular social media sites you can advertise on. Be sure to post to relevant pages, quality tweets, and do not spam. If you look like a spammer, most people will not even think to click on your site. Work smart and get them interested in what your email list has to offer.

Forums:
Forums are another good way for getting traffic, as long as you post relevant posts and follow the rules. Most sites require you to have quite a few posts before they allow any sort of advertising in your signature (this is especially true for the Internet Marketing and Weight Loss niches), so get into the mind set that forums are for long-term and take your time building up reputation in order to get the most out of that forum.

As I said, traffic is vital, yet that isn't the only variable of a successful sale. A good sales or welcome page is also necessary for converting traffic into sales. If you have a bad squeeze page, odds are people will close the page as soon as they see it. Threrefore make the user experience intuitive.
