Mobile Affiliate Profits - Mobile Marketing Secrets & Strategies Revealed

As an Internet marketer you know how lucrative marketing through the Internet is, right? Because there are over 2 billion Internet users in the world!

And what about marketing through mobile phones?

As of today there are 6.93 billion people on the planet, and 70% of them have cellphones. That means there are 4.8 BILLION people out there you can market your products or offers (if you know how to)...

Mobile is more than twice as large, which means it can be twice as lucrative...

... or maybe even more so, because there's literally zero competition.

Right now mobile marketing is like the wild-west days of the Internet, where just anybody could come along, get a #1 ranking on Google, and cream in fat paychecks all day long.

And that's great, but there IS a learning curve...

...unless you already know how to do it the right way...

As you know, although mobile marketing has been dominating the wires but the problem has been that no one is effectively teaching the INSIDER Strategies that achieve cash sucking results.

In this regard, I've some good news for you...

Insider Secrets to Rank and Pillage Profitable Niche Markets Revealed

Howdy!

Further down this page there's a link to a video in which you'll see an average Joe from New Zealand who is so skilled at ranking and pillaging crazy little profitable niches that within a few hours he can produce an affiliate website that pays him for YEARS!

He's someone who actually makes a living selling physical and digital products (as an affiliate) on the Internet - OUTSIDE the Internet marketing niche. In fact he'd earned $101,293.00 in affiliate commissions over twelve months, out of which 80% of that came from products OUTSIDE the make-money-online market.

The method described in the video has...

Sold 179 bug-making toys (from 1,534 clicks) to net a quick $518.70 in Amazon affiliate commissions after only two hours of total set-up time...

Plus it converted 86 visitors per day (free traffic from Google) into $384 in commissions per month...

Yet another site turns a digital product from Clickbank into $763 per month...

Another website converted only 396 visitors into commissions totaling $2,141.19...

One Commission Junction (physical product) he pillaged $15,346 in only one months time...

And he has got 190 of these websites pillaging for him all day and night!

His name is Aidan Booth...

Here's the Video Link.

At the end of the video, you can get an absolutely free case study which reveals one of Aidan's secret niches bringing him around $500 per month from a shocking little niche. And that's just the beginning. With the case study in hand you can replicate the results and put together a few of these bad boys for yourself.

The first few minutes of the video will reveal how many of the big Internet marketing guns are pulling the wool over your eyes - in many cases, outright lying to you about what they've accomplished with their "skills". That part will probably disgust you beyond measure...

If you can get your hands on the case study, you'll discover niche research methods that pay dividends and uncover goldmines you can pillage for years... how to catapult your site onto page one and stick there... how to lower the ranking of a competitor... get impeccable content for your authority site for as little as $5.50... see precisely how effective keyword research is performed... the number of keywords you should select and use... the "Top 5 Plan" to reach the top half of the first page of Google, and much more.

BTW, Aidan Booth has recently teamed up with my friend Brian Johnson to create the Rank and Pillage Internet marketing course. With Brian's eleven years of experience on top of Aidan's five years, you will not find higher quality or more effective strategies than those included in Rank and Pillage.

Below, you can see some screenshots of Aidan Booth's Super Affiliate Earnings:

SBI Vs Affiloblueprint ?

I noticed from my blog's Analytics, some rather unusual search queries over the past couple of weeks -- some folks came to this blog looking for information on AffiloBlueprint and SBI (which I obviously had written some posts on both).

Here are some of the keywords (or phrases) they used in their search queries:

"Affiloblueprint Vs SBI"
"Comparison of Affiloblueprint and SBI"
"Is SBI better than Affiloblueprint?"
"Compare SBI with Affiloblueprint"
"Is Affiloblueprint more effective than SBI?"


I'm sure these folks would be very disappointed with what they saw here 'cos I'd never made any comparison of the two products. As a matter of fact, you can't compare an apple to an orange, can you?

Both Affiloblueprint and SBI! are top-rated products. But they are two completely different things -- Affiloblueprint is an Affiliate Marketing Course. Whereas SBI! is a Complete Business Building System! If Affiloblueprint were an apple, then SBI! would be the orange! It doesn't make too much sense to compare them, at least that's the way I think.

So I better do a post here to explain both products side-by-side for the benefits of my future readers.

O.K., let me do Affiloblueprint first...

Affiloblueprint is a high quality affiliate marketing course created by super affiliate Mark Ling, who reportedly earns over $1 million dollars a year from a variety of affiliate sites. Apparently he uses the same formula to create each site. He finds a niche, builds a site, gets up and running and then basically leaves it just ticking away – earning him money, while he just goes off and builds another one. I know Mark Ling. He has an excellent reputation as a marketer. I trust him.

Affiloblueprint consists of a 12 week program with 55 video lessons. It starts out with how to find a profitable niche and market research, you're taken through picking keywords, creating content, building a website, search-engine-optimization, creating newsletters, analytics, a brilliant troubleshooting lesson, and pay per click lessons. All are pretty comprehensive.

The main idea of Affiloblueprint is that you can learn step by step to create multiple sites, in any viable product niche you like, by using the same process over and over again. This means you can create a whole bunch of small $50 per week sites, and then just build up your income by building as many sites as you desire. Then, as Mark Ling explains, if you reinvest some of that money back into the sites in the form of building contents and SEO campaigns, you can very quickly accelerate your earnings into the thousands a week just by starting with a few $50 a week sites. This has got to be one of the simplest, but yet most believable methods I've seen for creating this level of income through affiliate marketing.

Affiloblueprint is designed for both the affiliate marketing newbie & intermediate marketers who wants a step-by-step guide to creating a successful affiliate business, plus includes the highly valuable WordPress theme which makes it easy for newbies to set up Affiloblueprint-style websites.

Affiloblueprint covers all the basics of affiliate marketing, while also providing a novice-proof formula that can be used over and over again to create profitable sites in different niches.

The Affiloblueprint course costs you a one-time investment of $197.

Detailed Information on Affiloblueprint can be found here.

Now SBI!...

SBI! is not just a site builder, not just a training course as a lot of people were confused.

SBI! is all about building a business per se. It is a platform on which to build a complete online business.

SBI! has a very long track record of creating successful businesses - 14 years, since 1997! I'm an SBIer myself, since 2005.

SBI! is an international provider of a proprietary web business building platform, the flagship product of SiteSell Inc., a company founded by Dr. Ken Evoy in 1997.

You can use SBI! to turn anything (your ideas, your hobbies or passion, your knowledge, anything) into a successful online business provided that you're a do-it-yourself type of person, who's willing to work for a long-term goal by following the SBI Action Guide. There won't be any shortcut in business building, not with SBI.

SBI! gives you EVERYTHING you'll ever need to build an online business - All the tools, learning & training, website building, traffic generation, content writing, web hosting, etc., etc. Absolutely everything needed for building an online business is inside SBI!

See All the Tools

Compare Web hosting

The SBI! C-T-P-M Process:

SBI! focus on C arrowT arrow P arrow M, the proven way to build any business online:

C = Content: Internet users search for information, for solutions. They are not looking for you - they don't know you. They seek what you know. Give it to them. Convert your knowledge into in-demand Content. To succeed online, start where they start - at "the search."

T = Traffic: Your site content ranks high at the search engines (Google, Yahoo, MSN, etc), attracting free, targeted, open-to-you visitors. Basically, these future customers "meet you" at your site. These visitors are known as "Traffic." How well does SBI! drive "T"? Top 3% - Proof with Results.

P = Presell: Complete strangers develop trust and confidence in you. Why? Because you "presell" by overdelivering what they seek... relevant, original, information. Deliver this information in your own voice, in your own way, and go beyond merely instilling confidence. Your visitors will like you.

M = Monetize: Convert warm, willing-to-buy ("Presold") visitors into income. This is known as "Monetization," this is the easy part. But "M" cannot happen if you fail to first execute C T P. This is where 99% of small businesses fail!

SBI! is all about you starting and building your own business online.

SBI! costs $299 per year (or $29.99 per month).

Conclusion:

Not possible to conclude which is better - SBI or Affiloblueprint? It all depends on What You Really Want or Aim For.

Affiloblueprint teaches just one type of business, which is Affiliate Marketing.

Whereas SBI! builds any types of businesses (including affiliate marketing), you name it, and SBI! has all the right tools and strategies to get you there.

Online Advertising with Amazon Product Ads

Two emails and two pieces of bad news of the same nature in a single day have prompted me to write this post about Amazon Product Ads...

Dave, a close friend of mine had his Adwords account terminated last week wrote to ask for information of alternative paid advertising sources and paid media buying sites that I use. The second case is a Super Affiliate - a lady (I choose not to mention her name for privacy reasons) who's quite well known in the IM community, also lost her Adwords account around the same time as Dave. But she said that's no big deal to her since she had decided to do away with paid advertising completely and focus on SEO.

It makes me wonder just how many other marketers are having the same problem out there!?

Back to Amazon Product Ads...

I started using Amazon Product Ads nine months ago in place of Google Adwords and I'm fairy happy with my result (averaging about 4% conversion rate) so far. To be honest, I was making heavy losses with Adwords during the first 6 months of 2010 and since the Google Slap had become too ridiculous I'd no choice but pulled out completely. Before moving over to Amazon Product Ads, I also tested Facebook Ads. To these days, I still use Facebook Ads for some of my CPA offers and low ticket info products but not for any physical products.

Amazon Product Ads has great potentials as a highly targeted advertising channel. But I think it's unfair to consider Amazon Product Ads as a direct alternative to Google Adwords. Firstly, unlike Google which is a search engine, Amazon.com is an e-commerce marketplace. Secondly, Amazon Product Ads is only good for promoting physical products. Whereas Adwords is for everything - physical products, services, CPA offers, digital products, just about anything.

What is Amazon Product Ads?

Launched in February, 2008, Amazon Product Ads is a cost per click (call it pay per click or ppc if you like) advertising program that allows marketers, retailers and business owners to drive traffic from Amazon.com to products sold on their own website.

There are no monthly fees and no minimum spend. As an advertiser of Amazon Product Ads, you are charged only when someone (an Amazon customer or site visitor in this case) clicks on your ad and is taken to your web site. You're in full control of the maximum price you are willing to pay for that click (bidding), as well as your daily budget.

How Amazon Product Ads Works:

1. First, sign up for an Amazon Product Ads account.


2. Upload Your Product Catalog and Set Your Budget

A Product Ad is created for each product that you upload to the Amazon.com catalog. Once you have signed up for an account, you can upload your items directly through Amazon's online account management interface or Seller Central. Your ads will then appear on Amazon.com.

When you get your first click, Amazon.com will give you the next $75 worth of clicks for FREE. Some restrictions apply -- Read details here.


3. Customers See Your Product Ads on Amazon.com

Your Ads will be viewed by active Amazon.com customers 24/7 via Amazon product pages, as well as being displayed in relevant Amazon.com product search and browse results and contextually targeted placements.





4. Customers Click to Product Pages on Your Website

When Amazon.com customers click on your ad they are taken directly to your Web site where you control the brand and buying experience for your products. This allows you to deliver a unique buying experience, giving you the opportunity to acquire new customers and grow revenue for your business.

5. You Are Charged a Cost-Per-Click

Using Seller Central, you can easily view your invoices and track your advertising budget. There are no fees for impressions - you are only charged when Amazon.com customers choose to click on your ad and are directed to your web site. You control not only the maximum price you are willing to pay for each click, but also your daily and monthly budget. Most importantly, you can measure your return on investment and optimize your budget accordingly. Invoices are published as you accumulate clicks and payment is collected via credit card.

6. Customers Purchase Products From Your Website

You control the buying experience because Amazon.com customers are clicking through to your Web site. Customers benefit from the seamless discovery of your products on Amazon.com and your e-commerce expertise. Your Amazon Product Ads will deliver you engaged customers giving you the opportunity to acquire repeat orders and increased sales for your business.

Eligible Product Categories and Pricing at time of writing:

Please note:
You don't pay for customers who spend time to read and view your products on Amazon. You only pay when they click on your ad to go to your website.

Minimum Cost-Per-Click Bid changes with each product's unit price, meaning, the higher the unit price the higher will be the bid.

Who Should Advertise with Amazon Product Ads?

To advertise with Amazon Product Ads, you need an eCommerce website with a secure checkout. Each product you list must have a unique detail page URL on your website. Customers must be able to add the product to their shopping cart directly from your detail page.

Need help to create your eCommerce website? Click here.

Conclusion:

I like Amazon Product Ads. It's a great place to advertise and sell physical products. Amazon.com is currently the #17 most trafficked website in the world (#5 in the US), representing nearly 0.4% of the total global page views according to Alexa.

It seemed like Google was the only game in town for years. However, more and more PPC marketers are becoming progressively more despondent as Google's rules got tougher. Amazon Product Ads can be the salvation route I see for many of us who are marketers of physical products -- lesser rules, quality traffic and most importantly, CHEAPER.

So, if you're also sick of busting your tail for traffic or getting slapped by Google, I suggest you give yourself a chance to test out Amazon Product Ads. Who knows, you may discover a whole new world of advertising opportunities with Amazon.com!

One Very Useful Amazon Product Ads Tip - Make sure your products have UPC codes to get better exposure.

Rank and Pillage

Rank and Pillage is the brand new Internet marketing course created jointly by Brian G Johnson and Aidan Booth, which will be launched on the July 26, 2011 at 12pm EST. I've briefly written about the course in this post on July 03.

I've been lucky enough to get some inside information about the course and I'm going to share it all with you right here...

First of all, Rank and Pillage is not like any other course on the market. It's been a work in progress for over 7 months and contains the exact strategies used by Brian G Johnson and Aidan Booth to bring in hundreds of thousands of dollars in the last few years.

The Rank and Pillage course offers a huge core manual (over 250 pages long) as well as a members area packed with over 100 videos. The best part of all however is that all the content is jam packed with real strategies to help you make money online quickly.

The course is divided into 8 modules, each tackling a different aspect of Internet marketing:

Module 1: Introduction to Rank and Pillage – This module is the course introduction. It looks at Internet marketing in general and discusses exactly what you need in order to succeed.

Module 2: Traffic Battle Plan – Module 2 looks at the amount of traffic or website visitors you need, and also the type of traffic, in order to make money from your website.

Module 3: SEO Siege – The SEO Siege modules dives deep into the world of SEO and explains in detail how to rank number 1 in Google. This is personally one of my favorite modules in the entire course because many of the strategies are brand new, work extremely well, and have never been shared before!

Module 4: The Pillage Blueprints – This is the money making module. Inside "The Pillage Blueprints" Brian and Aidan reveal a diverse range of different money making methods, each broken down into an easy to follow step by step blueprint. In this module you'll learn how make money via Adsense, Clickbank, through selling physical products on Amazon and Commission Junction, through targeting product launches, email marketing and much more.

If you've never used WordPress before or simply want to know the absolute best, proven method for creating an SEO optimized and conversion optimized website, this is the module you'll look at.

Module 6: Link Catapult Formulas – Here Brian and Aidan reveal several in depth link building plans. Each plan is broken down into day-by-day steps making it as easy as possible to follow. This is the most thorough link building plan I've seen produced in a long time.

Module 7: King of Your Empire – Once you have a website that makes money, it's often relatively easy to take it to the next level and earn a lot of money from it. This is exactly what this modules about – how to dominate a niche and earn serious money!

Module 8: Outsourcing Crusade – Outsourcing has been hyped a lot over the last few years but very few guru's actually do it. Aidan Booth is an expert in outsourcing and you'll learn the exactly how to outsource for the best quality work at the best prices in this module. This part of the course is designed for people who want to grow their business faster than ever.

Rank and Pillage combines the ideas of two Internet marketing masterminds to create a huge course detailing exactly how to build an online income, regardless of your current level of experience and technical know-how. This course gives up and coming Internet marketers a chance to take an up close and personal look at how two SEO experts leverage free traffic to make a killing online.

Kindle Book Publishing - A Hot Money Making Opportunity

Do you know that Kindle book publishing is now a hot money making opportunity?

I got an interesting email from a long time buddy showing me a screenshot from Amazon of an eBook he created hitting the top 50 on the Kindle list (and made more than $10,000!) last month! Even more interesting is that he has never been a good writer himself! After a lot of pushing he finally admitted that he didn't write the book but paid a freelance writer to write for him. I wasn't able to find out the exact amount he had paid for the writing job. But he did say he had fully recovered his investment two weeks after uploaded his book to the Amazon e-book publishing platform!

Isn't this a real window of opportunity for making money?

According to statistics from the February 2011 Sales Report by Association of American Publishers, eBooks rank as #1 format among all trade categories. For the February results, eBooks have enjoyed triple-digit percentage growth, 202.3%, vs February 2010. Even Yahoo! eBooks reported that they are poised to have a 4x increase in eBook sales during the next 2 years. See video below:


And interestingly, Amazon announced that their Kindle book sales have finally eclipsed print books sales. Amazon now sells 105 electronic books for every 100 printed ones. This is a sign of the growing dominance of their Kindle digital reader, currently the company's best-selling electronic device. This will be a major shift for Amazon -- They have been selling printed books for more than 15 years vis-a-vis ebooks for less than four years.

This is the time to jump on the trend because there are 9,000,000 prints books on Amazon but only 950,000 eBooks. (That's a measly 1/10 the competition with tons of genres wide open for the taking.)

For those who love writing or who can write well, this is a HUGE opportunity to make money. Even if you cannot write or hate writing you can still jump on the bandwagon just like my friend did (outsource the writing part).

How to go about publishing an eBook at Amazon?

First thing first, go to Amazons Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP) and sign up for an account. It costs nothing.

If you plan to sell a lot of eBooks, it's advisable for you to figure out a way to upload your eBook files directly to the KDP platform, IF you're a do-it-yourself kind of person.

You can create your own book cover and format your ebook from a Microsoft Word file. There's a free software tool you can use to do the job - Mobipocket eBook Creator which allows you to create an ebook with a table of contents and then convert it to AZW, Amazon's proprietary Kindle ebook format. This is the process:

Microsoft Word file ==> HTML ==> MOBI

MOBI is the file output by Mobipocket, which is the SAME as AZW.

You can find out more from the Mobipocket official website.

If you can't do it yourself and need help, click here.

A few words of caution:

Read the Kindle Publishing Guide thoroughly. Don't be tempted to use public domain titles (PLRs) in their original forms because Amazon is currently implementing a new standard policy to eliminate the problem caused by multiple, undifferentiated copies of public domain titles in their Kindle catalog. You don't want your name blacklisted. However, you may make use of any public domain material as a reference to come up with your own version of eBook - rewriting the content, changing the graphic and book title, etc.


Here are a couple of useful guides you can use to speed up your whole process of making money with Kindle Book Publishing:

Derek Gehl Now Agent 007 At Undergroud X

I lost touch with Derek Gehl since he retired from The Internet Marketing Center in March 2009...

...Until...Early this year I found him at Undergroud X (click to see his 007 look!) with another guy, Yanik Silver!

Anyway, Derek & Yanik have now joined forces for 2011 to deliver some innovative training in advanced moneymaking to skeptical, battle-weary Internet entrepreneurs.

Yanik Silver is a serial Internet entrepreneur and self-made millionaire.

Named as one of the 100 most influential figures in e-commerce in the UK and Ireland, he has appeared on CNN , CNBC and BBC television and has been featured in numerous print media publications.

Top 5 Tips for Improving Your Website by Gerry McGovern:

- On the Web, content may be king but the customer is dictator. There's one word to describe the web customer: IMPATIENT.

- Traditional marketing and communication is about GETTING ATTENTION. Web marketing and communication is about PAYING ATTENTION. When customers are at your website you already have their attention. Don't waste their time by telling them things they already know.

- Every website has a small set of top tasks what I call the "long neck" that customers expect to complete quickly and easily. The customers' top tasks are often not what the organisation thinks they are, or wants them to be.

- The BIGGEST key to website improvement and efficiency of "long neck" consumer tasks is most often overlooked: companies must do rigorous, methodical and continuous testing! Great web management is based on facts about your consumers, not opinions offered by the smartest people in your company.

- The Web is about doing, not talking about doing. A great website puts task-completion features on the homepage. In Web 1.0 you saw a picture of a hotel room on the homepage of a hotel website. Now, you book your room on the homepage.

7. Consumerology: The Market Research Myth, the Truth About Consumers, and the Psychology of Shopping by Philip Graves

Philip Graves, one of the world's leading experts in consumer behaviour, reveals why the findings obtained from most market research are completely unreliable. Whether it is company executives seeking to define their corporate strategy or politicians wanting to understand the electorate, the idea that questions answered on a questionnaire or discussed in a focus group can provide useful insights on which to base business decisions is the cause of product failures, political blunders and wasted billions.

Using his unique AFECT approach, a set of five criteria to evaluate the reliability of any consumer insight, Graves asserts that it's time for a fresh approach that embraces this new understanding of human behaviour. Along the way, he reveals why the current practice of market research is a false science, why we often don't buy what we say we will, and how to understand consumers better than they do themselves.

About Philip Graves:
Philip Graves is a consumer behaviour consultant, author and speaker. 20 years observing consumers as a market research manager and research consultant made him aware of a conflict between what people said in research and what they actually did, which led to the introduction of the psychology of shopping into his work. He has advised numerous international businesses, including Comet, ITV, Whirlpool, Dr Martens, New Covent Garden Food Company, Camelot, Virgin Media, Hotpoint and Pepsi. In addition to running his own consultancy business, Shift, Philip is an associate of Frontier Economics.

Secret Spiritual Power - Meet John Harricharan, The Man With Special Powers

I want to tell you something about a very special man who possesses "special powers". I think he's someone you'll want to meet.

His name is John Harricharan and he can show you secret spiritual powers you didn't even know you had...

Some people have called him a "quack", yet he has shared the stage with world renowned speakers as Deepak Chopra, Elisabeth Kubler-Ross, Og Mandino, Gerald Jampolsky, Foster Hibbard, Eric Butterworth, C. Everett Koop and others!

Some people think his ideas are too "out there", but he has shared his secrets alongside the Dalai Lama, Paul and Linda McCartney, even His Royal Highness, Prince Philip of Great Britain himself.

And more importantly, his guidance... his own treasure trove of spiritual secrets have transformed lives across the globe spiritually, emotionally, physically, mentally and financially (and quite a few used to be skeptics)...

Why should you care?

Because once you experience just a taste of what he can show you, you will see a rush of transformational ripples take over your life. Everything you do, desire, or strive for will be revolutionized.

You will be a different person. You will be more "you."

By the way, John is an extremely humble man. He doesn't want huge fame (although he has become quite well known). For years, he has helped people from all over the world improve their lives by better understanding the forces at work in the spiritual and metaphysical world. He doesn't care for titles. He's not screaming at the top of his lungs, hoping you'll listen.

BUT, if you take a moment, step up, and see what he has to say, well...

See for yourself...

Secret Spiritual Power - The Master Speaks:

It consists of 12 audio modules with over 20 hours of jam-packed, interview content:

Module #1: Sense and Nonsense of the "Law of Attraction" – Here you will learn the truth about the Law of Attraction and why it only seems to work some of the time.

Module #2: Past lives, future lives and alternate realities – Here John reveals the secrets behind how to tap into your "soul memory" and use that information and wisdom to make your current life happier and more successful.

Module #3: How to make time stand still – According to John, we can all use our natural abilities to "Bend the Arrow of Time." Learn how to use your mind to slow time down or speed it up when you feel a need for it.

Module #4: Whispers from the Universe – Listen as John pulls back the curtain on the afterlife and those who've gone on; afterlife communications and mysteries of the "other side."

Module #5: The "cloak of invisibility" and the "power of silence" – Here John reveals the key to staying sane in an insane world and how to not be noticed when you need your silence and privacy.

Module #6: Dreams and the stories told in the night – How do dreams relate to our waking life? Is there any purpose or reason for them or are they just phantoms of a tired mind? They are just reality in a different level of consciousness and can be used for guidance and success.

Module #7: The Metaphysics of Money - Part A – Money is actually energy in motion. Why is it so difficult for many to get the amount they need or want, while it's the easiest thing for some to acquire large amounts?

Module #8: The Metaphysics of Money - Part B – Here the discussion about money, how to attract it and how to manifest wealth continues.

Module #9: Event Formation – From vaporizing clouds to vaporizing our problems. Clouds are like problems. Learn the strategy and methods of how to vaporize them and you could use the same techniques to rid yourself of your problems.

Module #10: The magic of the Morphogenic Field – Why do events that happen in one place seem to affect other events that occur in a totally unrelated place? How to tap into the Morphogenic (or Morphic) field to create more success and happiness.

Module #11: Intuition, Psychic Powers, Distance Healing, Remote Viewing and such matters of the mind – We are heirs to a tremendous degree of "powers." By learning the ways to develop and use these abilities, we could have an amazing, positive effect on our lives and the lives of others.

Module #12: The Power of Belief and its Relationship to Perfect Happiness and Success – A general wrap up of why our belief system could imprison or free us and how we can change our belief patterns to be more positive, productive, wealthy and fulfilled.

Online Selling Tips - Five Unique Niche Product Ideas For Newbie Sellers

Spotting a niche market is one of the key ingredients to be really profitable in online selling. Did you know that newbie sellers can become much more successful when they appeal to a very small market instead of trying to appeal to everyone?

Finding a niche isn't always easy - it takes time and persistence to find the right product to sell. To get you thinking, and to give you a few inspiring ideas, here's a list of five product niche ideas to share with you. While some niche ideas might seem abstract to beginner sellers, that is exactly what a great niche is - very precise and seemingly difficult to source.

Niche Product Idea #1: Plus Size Shoes

Many big-footers out there find it very difficult to buy shoes that will fit them comfortably from regular retail stores.

Why are plus size shoes a super niche product?

While plus size shoes are commonly made by popular shoe makers, stores often order only a limited quantity, which means that more and more big-footers must turn to buying online to get what they need.

These shoes have a high success rate on eBay (women's size 11 sell at 61.9% and men's size 14 at 75%!)

(Hot tip: women's size 11+ high heels could make a great little niche)

Niche Product Idea #2: Plus Size Maternity Wear

Another plus-size item with huge success on eBay!

It's a profitable niche because:

Maternity and baby gear always works because people are always going to have babies, so you'll never run out of customers!

Clothing items are easy to ship as they light and not fragile.

Niche Product Idea #3: Heart Rate Monitors

Heart rate monitors are used by athletes and gym bunnies or by people who need to keep an eye on their heart rate.

Why Heart rate monitors are an exciting niche product?

They have a 75% success rate on eBay (75% of all monitors listed on eBay in the last three months sold out!)

Heart rate monitors are lightweight and easy to ship and store. The best part, one size fits all!

Niche Product Idea #4: Antique Clocks

Another great niche market item.

Antique clocks are a first-rate niche because:

1. You'll appeal to both collectors and home decorators.

2. Antique clocks have an eBay success rate of over 67%.

3. You can often pick these up very cheaply from flea markets and yard sales, then
resell them to make a profit.

Niche Product Idea #5: Military Insignia

Collectibles always make great niches and you can dig really deep to find the best ones. They are also perfect for people who are interested in them - you'll find it much easier and much more rewarding when you sell something you enjoy. To really niche it up, go for US military insignia from the Vietnam War which is big on eBay.

Why military insignia makes such an excellent niche?

1. It rarely dates or goes out of fashion

2. There are so many sub-niches to discover like Russian war medals and World War 2 helmets, etc.

So you see, niche products really are the way to go for newbie sellers and there are so many out there to keep you interested and the best part, you can easily make money with these items!

Rapid Profit Formula - Buy It!

Who says you can't teach an old dog new tricks?

I'm an "old dog" of Internet marketing yet I could find really cool tricks to learn from Matt Carter's Rapid Profit Formula course! Bottom line? I can make more money in my affiliate marketing business.

What is Rapid Profit Formula?

If I had to describe it in just a few short words, it would be something like this:

Rapid Profit Formula = WordPress + Amazon = Affiliate Commissions

OK. It can be other affiliate networks as well (such as CJ, LinkShare or others). But for me, it's Amazon 'cos it's my main focus as far as physical products are concerned.

Let me elaborate a little more about the course Rapid Profit Formula...

The guy who created the Rapid Profit Formula course is Matt Carter from Sydney, Australia. Matt went from being a struggling cold calling salesman to 6 figure Super Affiliate in under 18 months! It's an amazing true life story. And now, for the first time ever he's spilling the beans on how he did it -- all in the Rapid Profit Formula course.

Over the years Matt has fine tuned his affiliate marketing strategies down to an exact formula, that's why he call it a formula because it has been proven to work.

The course teaches people how to build profitable affiliate sites with WordPress, that promote primarily physical products (from places like Amazon, Commission Junction and many other networks). You can use the same principles he teaches for Clickbank if you wish, but there is so much more money in physical products!

Rapid Profit Formula is based solely on free traffic and auto-pilot income sites that once set up require little maintenance and earn affiliate commissions for many years to come!

What I liked about this course is that it goes into such detail on driving traffic through SEO. You see, a lot of courses out there fall down when it comes to traffic generation, but this Rapid Profit Formula course is outstanding. You've no problem getting to the top of Google after following Matt's tricks.

Another cool thing about Matt's formula is that it focuses on selling physical products, from places like Amazon, Commission Junction and other networks.

There's a huge amount of potential selling physical products -- the competition is much lower and the customer return/refund rate is very low too, which is why Matt was able to leave his cold calling sales job so quickly and become a full-time Internet entrepreneur!

Rapid Profit Formula includes 24 coaching videos (excellent videos & quality. I'd gone through all of them), divided into 7 core modules, each module coming with an accompanying PDF. There's a HUGE amount of coaching on SEO and the science behind how to get web sites to the top of Google for competitive keywords.

Most courses teach you to go after longtail keyword phrases, but in Rapid Profit Formula Matt provides serious SEO training for the real keywords. The best part is that he actually show a profitable affiliate site throughout the course for people to follow along with.

Rapid Profit Formula is a truly solid course. No hype. Matt also understands beginners very well - If you don't know much about WordPress you will learn up some decent tips in the course very quickly. Some SEO-friendly WP themes are included in the package.

What I also want to tell you is this: Matt Carter does have a very good reputation as an honest ethical marketer. I know the way he conducts business 'cos I'm one of the subscribers in his mailing list for almost two years.

A quick update on Feb 02, 2012:

I just received an email from Matt Carter the other day, saying:

Just wanted to let you know, due to all the changes in Google over the past 12 months, I've changed the way I build my affiliate sites now, and hence the way I teach it also.

Therefore I have been through the entire Rapid Profit Formula course and updated 80% of the videos in there, to reflect what I believe to be a better and sustainable way to build profitable affiliates sites.

I encourage you to watch the videos again when you have time, as the old style of product name review sites is not as profitable as it used to be, however there is still plenty of opportunity if you follow the new method I outline.
