Finding hot products

by StockMan1234
40 replies
Hey all,

As the late great Gary Halbert always said, browse through SRDS for new product ideas that you can sell.

I am curious -- what is the Internet equivalent of SRDS? Such as -- the list of hot products currently selling on the Internet.

Clickbank probably will come up a lot on this list. Is there anywhere else you guys use to find hot products?

    The best approach is to draw up a list of problems people usually face in different niches, analyze the most painful ones, and use other tools to find out how many people are actively searching for solutions to such problems.

    That could give you an idea of what has the potential to become a hot selling product.

    We rarely look for "hot" products to sell. They are short-term sellers and not worth the time & effort it takes to climb search rankings (although they are fine for relatively temporary Facebook campaigns). When people move on to the next fad, you've got a completely worthless site/product and have to start all over again with the newest fad. We prefer to build "evergreen" sites that people will be buying from for decades.

    That said, you can go to shopping engines like BizRate.com or Shopzilla.com, scroll down to the footer, and click on the "Top Products/Top Searches" link to see what the current hot products are. You could also go to https://www.amazon.com/Best-Sellers/zgbs

    The SRDS book of lists, was used to find BUYERS, not so much products. I agree with Dave's post about EVERGREEN and apply Halbert's "hungry crowd" metaphor to that.

    There are EVERgreen, parade of life type products which are always hot, like acne medication for teens.

    What would probably prove better for you is to find HOT buyers, in the case of the SRDS, we would look for so-called hot lists, those who bought recently and also frequently. The best time to sell another related product is when a customer makes a purchase. It is the foundation of the OTO or one time upsell in affiliate marketing.

    And the resources already mentioned show you some of the HOT items being sold, and don't forget eBay too, look for the SOLD listings, which give you an actual market value of some things being routinely sold.

    For me, Clickbank is quite a tired business model in digital marketing. I remember once being excited at my first affiliate sale in 2007. Things have moved on, but I don't think that platform has in terms of products and customer service.

    In terms of digital products Warrior Plus offers up more opportunities, as it seems to have better marketers promoting quality products and in a less competitive marketplace.

    If you're wanting to go in to selling psyhical products then, unusual items always sell well and when people have a desire or perceived need to buy such an item. Another area which seem to be on the rise is with Etsy stores. The home of handmade and unique item for sale.

    IMO, you're focusing on the wrong thing - the product.

    In my experience, it's much more effective to focus on the audience first. See what they are asking for. You're looking for marketplace demand.

    Consumer preferences change over time. When you focus on demand, you will always be looking to offer what the audience is asking for. When you do that, the best products and solutions become apparent and you don't have to guess what people might buy.

    The best to you,

      yeah true. BUT thee are things people are always needing:

      1) Money...Greed is good.Investments, business op's loans, etc.
      2) Look better (too fat, thing, not enough muscle, leaner, bigger ass etc..)
      3) Education
      4) s,e,x,
      5) Leisure or toys to spend our profits on.

      We are what we are.

    Fidget spinners, oh, wait, that was a hot product in 2017, this is 5 months into 2018.

    My point is, there's a good chance you'll be chasing a smoke trail because once you're up and running full speed the fad changes. Poof!

    Go evergreen unless you're good/fast at one day/week launches.

        Forget the temporary hype, go evergreen.

    OP here:

    Thank for great replies, everyone. You are right -- find where the customers are at, then create a product to fill their needs.

    Slightly modified question -- Is it safe to assume that a "starving crowd" listed on SRDS is also applicable to the Internet?

    For example, I found that a group of ski is willing to spend a lot of money on learning how to ski. It works like crazy in direct mail.

    Does it usually work well on the Internet too?

    I know there's the only way to find out... through testing... but it would be great to get some of your "tried-and-true" wisdom.

      I know there's the only way to find out... through testing... but it would be great to get some of your "tried-and-true" wisdom.
      First, apologies if you already know this, but, SRDS published many books, reports and white papers over the years, The Gary Halbert newsletter referred to in the OP said this:

      There are two primary sources that have info on these types of lists. The first is the Standard Rate & Data (SRDS) List Book. This is a huge book containing a description of literally thousands of different mailing lists. Your library should have it (ask for SRDS Direct Mail Lists Rates and Data) and, if they don't, you can call SRDS direct

      This is what Halbert was referring to. Each list has a data card. This tells where the list came from, compiled or from sales, and if from sales, what the item was, where it was advertised, average unit of sale.

      A decision to TEST a list was based on several factors. Let's stay with SKI, since the OP asked about it. In the SRDS lists book, you would find dozens of lists about skiing. Compiled lists of those who bought a ski pass and those who bought equipment, or maybe a specific store list, say DICK'S sporting goods, of buyers of skis.

      You would want to match your product with the most appropriate list. Maybe a ski vacation, or experience to a Rocky Mountain Resort would work well with a compiled list of people who subscribed to ski magazine, MAYBE, THIS is where you test a small but significant sample of the list, usually 5,000 was a good test.

      So, the advantage a direct mail marketer has is in being able to target specific niches of the skiing industry and construct a promotion just for that target.

      Is skiing a STARVING CROWD? Well, yes and no. it is a HUNGRY market, and as JD points out, it is an evergreen hobby or activity. It is not a hobby for the poor. So you know the target market does have disposable income, and they spend it.

      The problem is, online competition. You know people pay to learn to ski. You know it is an evergreen market. You know there are many niches, skis, clothing, places, events, destinations, etc. The biggest problem a marketer faces online is the where to advertise and how to distinguish their customers.

      Some will say run FACEBOOK ads, others might buy search engine placement ads. In the context of the OP, in regards to finding HOT PRODUCTS, it becomes difficult to know, and of course, what you think HOT might be too, to forecast what a group of people will buy en masse, at the same time.

      Try looking at Nextmark.com here is a link (no affiliation)
      https://bit.ly/2KRFqyq

      And you see, approximately what you would see with the SRDS, and note there are thousands of people on the ski lists. Look at the data cards between the compiled list of Ski related magazine subscribers (top of list) and the Skiing product BUYERS Sports trend. You will see the difference between compiled list lukewarm at best, and then look at the HOT LIST, WITH a Universe of over 90,000 buyers and a one month RECENCY list, may be a good target for your skiing promotion.

      Now look at the list that John Durham created. Pick out a subject which interests you. Then ask at nextmark about lists, see what comes up, are there lists of buyers? OK, half done, now google the area, then search facebook groups, and then amazon sales. This will help you narrow down on a group of people who have a "hunger" for continuous information, knowledge and experiences.

      OR, in Gary Halbert's case, he MADE THINGS HOT with his superior copy writing skills.

      The SRDS, Nextmark, or any lists are simply tools. They still require an experienced operator to get the maximum value in minimum time from them.

    This is a list of "Hobbies" I picked up at a website which I am not affiliated with, called Notsoboringlife .com. Thought it may be helpful.

    A lot of hobbies are evergreen.

    I certainly spend a lot on my music hobby , and have for thirty years, and continue to do so.

    I have a couple of places I buy things from... and I have loyally purchased from them for decades, buying over and over. I probably always will.

    Hobbies are worthwhile. In fact I dont think I have ever needed a personal relationship to either of the owners of those businesses, nor do I even know anything about them at all. That's food for thought, as well.

    On another note: sometimes I buy because I have a problem... but most times its because Im in love with something I see, and have to have it...Alot of that may be the effect of great sales copy, as well.

    As far as "pain points", I guess that could be the pain of desire, if you call it that... but it doesnt ever really hurt. It only feels a sense of excited anticipation.

    In any event; I NEVER stop re ordering..,. year after year... Hobbies are evergreen.

    Interesting thread.

      Interesting thread.


      That's why I'm always telling people to target niches they enjoy. If I enjoy a hobby, so do other people, guaranteed. If I spend money on a hobby, so do other people, guaranteed.

      I think people new to IM start reading all these IM forum threads and IM blog post about making money and forget about the basics of life, seriously, what makes them happy (hobbies, etc...).

      The easier money is looking at your own life and thinking about where you spend every dollar from your own wallet. Those are the niches to target and it's going to be different for all of us here because we're all interested in different things (ex: hobbies).

      As far as your list of hobbies, that's just the tip of the iceberg because each item on the list has it's own sub-niche/s.

      Example, sub-niches for cycling:
      • Cycling
        • Family
        • BMX
        • Mountain Bikes
        • Competition racing
        • Bike repair
        • Collecting vintage bikes (that's actually a niche)
        • Stationary bikes/training/health-rehab
        • etc...

        "Yukon" (He says, bowing the head)

        As far as the guitar hobby...

        There are brand names, models, types of guitars... There are "Telecaster" enthusiasts, "Stratocastor" enthusiasts, "Gibson", or "PRS" enthusiasts... who all need amps and various pedals.... There are acoustics, and classical's... Solid bodies, Semi hollow...there are 100 big sub niches just within the guitar world alone. I can only imagine that many other hobbies are the same way.

        Thanks for the confirmation.

        Heads bowed to you as well, Gordon J.

    John Durham -

    Good insight about your music hobby. I am curious -- which medium do you usually get sold to buy products related to music? Such as -- is it through articles (found thru google, maybe)? Direct mail? FB ads?

    Thanks for the list of hobbies - for every item listed, there's easily an info product that can be created.

    ----

    GordonJ -- you got my greed glands going by just looking over the list at Nextmark. The amount of info is astounding (# of buyers, married, # of kids, m/f, etc). I am (slowly) beginning to understand the process of finding a new product to sell.

    Great, great stuff. Going to put the golden nuggets of info into action.

      If I just need a quick set of guitar strings or have an immediate need, I will go to a local "Guitar Center" store... but all of my major guitar/amp... purchases... Mics, PA... I buy all of that from zzounds.com.

      I probably spend an average of one or two grand per year. So do a lot of other people. In the last 10 years, I have no doubt spent 20 thousand on that site.

      Good insight about your music hobby. I am curious -- which medium do you usually get sold to buy products related to music? Such as -- is it through articles (found thru google, maybe)? Direct mail? FB ads?

      Thanks for the list of hobbies - for every item listed, there's easily an info product that can be created.

      ----

      GordonJ -- you got my greed glands going by just looking over the list at Nextmark. The amount of info is astounding (# of buyers, married, # of kids, m/f, etc). I am (slowly) beginning to understand the process of finding a new product to sell.

      Great, great stuff. Going to put the golden nuggets of info into action.
      My biz partner, Dien Rice, likes to "learn by doing". My old friend, the late Jim Straw said one turns information into knowledge by doing. So, let's do. OK?

      Use the list John Durham provided, pick out six or seven things that interest you. And if you have first hand experience in any of them, like he does with music, for example, make them a part of the list.

      Post up the six or seven. And then we'll use a process to narrow it down. The purpose of this exercise is to give you (and all the Warriors) a process which can then be repeated over and over.

      It begins with the big Universe of possibility, and although there could be 30 things on that list which is of interest to you, picking the top 10 or 6 or 7, narrows that down.

      You can't do everything. So lesson one, is, you must choose.

      Then once you post the 6, 7 or even 10 ideas, we'll use a comparison system to show you how to get that down, very quickly, to a potential money making project and do so at breakneck speed too.

      You're "on the clock" Stockman, GO. Let's see how fast we can help you choose and then create an actual product for the marketplace. If you are ready and willing, then we are ready and able.

    There are such great answers in this thread that all I can offer are examples there are three type of products you should be aware of: Evergreen, Seasonal, Trendy. Trendy would be the fidget spinners someone suggested or the dog mask the Philly players made popular. Seasonal would be items for Christmas or Halloween. Evergreen would be products related to Marriage or Infants since we are likely never to stop doing either....lol

    If you want to find hot products to sell there is only one way, to start testing products (you can find good ones on the aliexpress or amazon hot products section). If you have a shopify store for example, I suggest to to try a product with a 5$ a day for a period of 3-5 days. I think it that time you should see some response for your audience and see if it´s a winner or go with the next one.

      Older guys, with some success under their belts, have several interests, and we may lack the hunger or the energy of a younger person just getting started. I bet we could create a product within hours, or a day or two, for about 90% of those "markets" you have listed.

      Also, we may have, like I did, fallen out of love with something in our youths. For me, it is golf. Can't stand it, albeit made a ton of money from it.

      As Paul Simon wrote so beautifully,
      April, come she will,
      when streams are ripe and swelled with rain...

      ...

      September, I'll remember
      a love once new has now grown old.

      The secret, for us, is to safely guard us from ourselves and our imaginations, difficult to do sometimes, but too many rabbit holes out there, eh?

      PS. Create a very simple, basic MUSIC understanding, a 101 type thing for those of us who were thrown out of 5th grade music for having our changing voices ruin the teacher's choir. Would love to have some ability to blow into a harmonica and make something like a song come out of it. HA!

    You do not have to focus your marketing on ONE PRODUCT

    You have to focus your marketing on solvin people's problem: i mean find a niche where there are enough products that can solve specific people's problem

    How do you do if your products will fall away or the vendor retire it?

    I hope you do not pay for purchase in your advertising: that's a churn and burn idea

    Instead, build a list, collect other's people email address in a particular niche and sell to them bunch of products.

    Well, depends what KIND of products you're looking for...

    If you're looking to learn about Best Selling Amazon Products, Jeff Lenney has a great tutorial on that.

    If you want to dropship stuff, Shopify has a great write up.

    Again though, depends specifically WHAT you're looking to do and sell online

    There a lot of products to promote in the MMO niche. But I would focus on promoting really good products. The best way though is to use a system where you can get mentor so you are not alone.

    Do not chase hot products. You lose your motivation when the product fizzles out. Do something you love.Render useful service. Be in it for the long haul. Sell something you believe in. Best way to do it.

    my 2 cents, sell whats selling already. pour money in products people making money selling. Trying new products .. yeah you might get a few sales .. but winning products are going to make you money.

    There are two methods in drop shipping related to products.

    1- Find your own winning product
    2- Duplicate others winning products

    But it does not matter how you have to do any research before you start an advertising campaign. This study will save a lot of money.

    The online sale is "Show the ideal product for an ideal audience".

    Most beginners do not understand what is the ideal product or the ideal audience. Most of them believe that their favorite product will be HIT. No, it does not happen.

    Clickbank probably will come up a lot on this list. Is there anywhere else you guys use to find hot products?
