Best Method for Real Tangible Products

by ECoatTech Banned

Hello Warriors,

It is great to find a site that is dedicated to Internet Marketing. I am new and have only done a couple of tests on IM. Such as Google Adsense, spent about $90.00, some posts on some websites on our company and put our company on certain directories for free. These tests have given me feedback on what keywords are most useful to me and how visitors are interacting with my website. I am looking into increasing my visitor views and actually selling my tangible products. I noticed that much of the information on this site revolves on selling digital products. Which is good and I like that option, however, I need to sell tangible products first and foremost. I would like to know where and who has this information available? Anyone here have a great experience selling tangible products? Any tips and ideas?
I really want to have a good idea on how to do it correctly before posting information all over the internet that can be detrimental and accomplish less or nothing at all.
My website can be clicked on my Signature for any curious Warriors.
Looking forward to your thoughts.

    I started out selling (and still do sell) products that I bought in large quantities from the manufacturers and distributors. Easy thing to do is look at the package or websites for manufacturer info and contact them directly.

    The greater the risk, the greater the reward.

    The Pros
    *You can make a much better income because your margins will be much higher than affiliates or drop-shippers.
    *Your products could be unique which allows you to dominate a market.
    *It can be very rewarding.

    The Cons
    *You could end up with lots of products that don't sell, which is a bad thing.
    *Your debt from buying inventory could eat up much, if not all, of your profits. You MUST know your market!
    *Your inventory can eat up a lot of space, especially if you are running it out of your house.
    *You will probably find that some manufacturers/distributors will favor certain sellers, with whom you are competing. They get a better deal and can undercut you.

    Lessons Learned
    Start small. Don't grow too big, too fast.
    Create a good business plan and stick to it.
    Have a really good accounting program or hire a bookkeeper.

        Sounds like a plan.

        Will ask about best way to sell physical tangible items and product promotions using IM.

      Yes, currently I do have a couple of products with great potential profit margins. Others, not so much. Also, I agree with you about starting small. No need to make it harder on myself at this point of testing and learning. Inventory space is not a problem for me. As for accounting, I have maintained the books since 2002. Glad to have those clients who keep my accounting books busy.
      My main goal is to increase sales, company reputation with consumers and other potential clients, like business to business. One question I should probably figure out is how should I go about this. I have multiple products. Should I introduce one product at a time using squeeze pages? Should I promote my website in general and let the visitor search the products themselves? Should I add more content on my site? (Currently, I believe so, since visitors are only at my site for about 40 seconds). Should I solely write articles?
      I have tried GoogleAdsense, but the ROI is not great. I believe because its a lack of product brand recognition. So I'm considering writing articles and posting them online. This brings me to another question, how do I write selling articles? I am mostly a number and technical guy, but, am a good writer. I believe I need to learn how to present products correctly to the desired audience that produce a great outcome.
