I haven’t made a single post in a long time.

I have been busy with some other projects outside of the Internet Marketing (IM) niche.  while most IMers keep reselling to the same people and new IMers, I tend to look for other markets and not just digital products such as ebooks, software, affiliate programs and the like.

There is a ton more to be made selling physical items online. The fact is ther are more people searching for “stuff” than most marketing gurus want to admit. And the people buying “stuff” are generally easier to sell to.

No matter if you are selling blenders or cars or even homes it can be sold online.

There are 2 different ways to approach selling physical items:

#1 is to find out what people are looking for and then sell it to them.  This is the best approach for digital products, ebooks, etc.

#2 is to find a product first and then find out if there is a market for it. If there is, then you make your sales pages and try selling it.  Most guru’s think this is backwards, but here is why it’s not:

It’s a Huge Time Saver!

What good is it spending time researching a niche and then start looking for a product that you may never find?  In reality it is pretty easy to figure out what items people want to buy. We are talking physical products here. People do buy blenders and other kitchen appliances. They do buy pet products and home products and gifts and garden tools and on and on and on.

Find good product suppliers. Select some products that you want to sell (they should be related to your website). Do some keyword research find out the best way to list them on your site by utilizing the latest and greatest SEO techniques. Make a killer website with better than average ecommerce abilities (shopping cart, buy buttons, etc).

Most of the same marketing techniques that work for IM products also work wonders for physical products.

This post is not about finding product suppliers or where or even how to sell physical items online. That’s a topic for another day. I am just giving you my cliff notes on how I make the majority of my income.

Have a great day!

To your success!!
