Looking for Products to sell online!

[DmitryP]

I am looking for a way that I can sell actual physical products online (not digital). I am looking for something simple like portable air conditioners or simple surveillance cameras.

Does anyone have any experience in products of that sort? Basically I want to develop a PPC campaign around it and make some profit on the spread.

Does anyone know where to find these manufacturers or whole sellers, how the whole process works, and how to make money doing this?

Amazon

Or just start Googling some of companies and see if they offer an affiliate program.

I think you mean you would like to be an affilliate as to start you r own buisness and buy stock and sort out delivery etc is a completly different thing and is definatley not simple.

However if you mean IM type selling or promotion ^^^ what he said

Amazon’s a great way to test the waters & figure out if what you want to sell will work.

If you’ve got a hobby you’re passionate about here’s another method that could work for you: for instance, if you’re big into woodworking & really understand the value of good tools you could hit garage sales & estate sales and pick up items you know are a good deal. Then turn around & post them on eBay rather than PPC.

Another option, have you researched dropshipping to see if that works with the type of products you’re interested in promoting?

Thanks.

I have a question about your niche product. Besides $15 are there any other premium wordpress themes or plugins to buy?

I do recommend a premium Wordpress theme which makes life a TON easier but you don't HAVE to buy it if you don't want too.

It's just the theme that's worked best for me and will easily more than pay for itself.

I would like to ask you more questions about this product.

1) Will I make at leas $15/month by using free word press theme if I follow everything you have outlined?

2) After I chose a keyword, can I run it by you to make sure I am on the right path?

3) Do you provide assistance in answering questions for at least the first site?

4) Is there any guessing in your system? If I follow it exactly will I make money (obviously a bit less than with paid word press version)?

DmitryP, allow me to express a few thoughts regarding product selection.

I would urge you to simplify things and keep it simple to begin with. What confuses most of us is what to promote. My initial thought was to promote a common item that most everyone owns in a price range of $100-$500. The disappointment was overwhelming when I was not able to drive any traffic without paying for it, and that little paid traffic I did get did not convert. Little did i know that I was competing in a market that was dominated by big dogs, with much more experience than I will ever have.

Long ago I ran across one of many videos that was offering some product, and although I did not purchase the product I did take away some good ideas regarding market selection. Since then I have concentrated on finding products/services in underleveraged markets with manageable competition.

I first search for a product, not a keyword. The search for keywords comes later, and is a part of the process. Once I find a potential product, only then will I research to see if I can compete with the keywords necessary to drive traffic via a first page Google rank.

To locate a product I may use search terms such as " does work", or "how does work" to see what people are searching for, and needing a solution to a problem. This will give me ideas to start with, and then I can look to my affiliate networks to see if they have corresponding products to fill this potential need. I will also check to see if a potential product has an independent affiliate offering that may not be offered through my affiliate networks. Then I will search for those products to see what the competition looks like.

After this I will use Market Samurai to do some in-depth research for hundreds of potential keywords, the search volume, and the competition. I do not rely on just the keywords that any tool will suggest. I may sit on the porch with a notebook and a cold drink and think of all the keywords a potential customer may use to locate a particular solution. I paid good money for my keyword search tools, but they sometimes miss some winning keywords. Keep them relevant, these need to be terms people are actually using to search with to find the solution you offer.

Remember, competition should be manageable. YOU get to pick what you promote. You will spend many hours building a site, and promoting it. It's worth it to spend a couple days researching your product/service selection before moving forward, only to discover your competition is overwhelming, and much worse, that you do not have the conviction and resolve to work hours on end promoting your site.....which is a whole 'nother deal in itself.

This is actually the short version of what I do, but I hope it gives you some insight as to where you might start. Good luck!
