Selling info products to Hobbyists...

Hi, I'm brand new to the forum and I'm relatively new to the IM world. I am receiving my first check from Adsense this month. It's been a lot to learn, but I LOVE learning, so it's not a problem for me.

How does one go about selling info products to Hobbyists (people who enjoy model trains, board games, crocheting, etc.)? They have different triggers and needs when it comes to buying for hobbies. How does one ratchet up their needs for your product?

    Michael,

    I'm curious, how long it took you to earn the first 100 with Adsense, seems like it took me forever to finally reach the threshold the first time. I noticed, that I put more effort into Niche marketing after I finally got paid.

    The best way to market to hobbyist, would be to start in a hobby that you yourself are passionate or know a lot about....

    It took me about 6 months to make my first $100. It takes quite a bit of traffic to get things moving with adsense.

    I understand that I should target a market that I have an interest in and know about. I guess my question really has to do with How I get them to buy. For instance, if I was selling to the cough/cold/flu market, it might be a little easier because they are searching for a cure to their problem. Hobbyists aren't really looking for a "cure".

    I don't like the adsense world. Maybe I'm crazy, but adsense is very difficult to make money when there are so many other good ways out there.
