What's Stopping YOU From Creating And Selling Products In 2009...

I have been trying to produce my own product but one big question i have here is payment option, how do i collect money from the net? I dont have a paypal account nor a clickbank account (because Nigerians were not allowed to own one). I have great ideas on what to write about. Can u pls throw some light on this?

Expert are bunch of failures...

That is one thing newbies do not look at. If you dont start, you wont fail, after 9 failures, you will succeed the tenth time.

Always on top, let me see what you have. I am ready for any JV, so long as it is valueble to impact possitively on the society, and it puts food on my table. Send me a PM if you wish

David,

I wll take your question as 'Why haven't you created more products?' and answer it.

Well... own product is a lot of responsibility and one should really comitted to it. So time will be the biggest issue in my case. Second I don't like creating info products or membership sites which is easy to create, sell and earn.

But recently I am trying to divert the time in to many things same time. I hope in 2009, I can come up with more products

.

Although I do partially agree with you David..

I think your angle is wrong...

My "business" has created a life for me that I never could have imagined.. and it hasn't been "small changes coins".. and I have only ever been an affiliate.

Right now I am creating my own products, but not because the money as an affiliate hasn't been good (it has been amazing), My choice is one of a challenge and something new..

Peace

I've very nearly created my own product. It's a Newbies Manual to a profitable website, 12,000 words long. I've just got no idea how to go about selling it. I don't think i have the confidence that it will sell. I feel i know the material is good, the book works, but i don't know what to do with it now i've created it.

I think it is tough to create a product if you haven't actually had much success in IM yourself.

Cmac, I disagree.

It is hard to create a product in the IM niche if you do not know what you are talking about, but if you have a niche where you are an expert, it is extremely easy.

If you are expecting to make the big bucks, you have to create a product in a good niche! Of course affiliate marketing should be done to get some other streams of income, but product creation is where it's at.

Additionally, with product creation you can have others sell your product as affiliates! Can't beat that!

Hello, Product creation is done but what is stopping me selling it is that there is no traffic and I dont know how to drive traffic.

The biggest thing that I have found is that people take selling on the Internet as a big deal. You need to realize that the Internet is just another tool. Like an add in the newspaper or in a phone book. People are always looking for better information and faster solutions with little to no work. So if you can give that to them the format isn't really that critical. Give them a good product in an easy to use manner that solves their problem and then ask them what their next problem is and repeat the process.

Ok im going to try and say this without sounding like an As*hole.

As for people creating there own product im all for, but try and keep it about something you actually know about for example, a few people have said they have made there own product/book about making money online and they also said "But i dont know how to sell it"

Call me an As*hole if you like but, if they cant Sell there own product, how on earth did they create the product "make money online" (when they clearly haven't)

Truth is there product is just going to be *Crap*, probably just info found for free on the internet and stuffed into an eBook, which in turn will lead to bad sales, high refunds and will damage there online reputation.


Sorry if i offend

It's fairly easy to create an informational product on a topic you are passionate about. I think the problem lies for people in the fact that they either think:

A) Their niche won't be profitable
B) They wouldn't know how to sell their knowledge (get traffic to their product page)

Unfortunately, nothing is 100% guaranteed, but failing to try is worse than trying and failing, because if you look it at that way if you fail to try, your stuck at the same position, but if you try and fail you can salvage experience from what you have done.

My problem is (and has been) coming-up with an idea for a niche. My career "expertise" lies in things that are:

1) saturated - I have lots of computer knowledge like programming/etc. but the people who want that kind of thing would already be search-savvy I'd think and there's certainly plenty of free easy-to-find computer stuff online.

or

2) exceptionally niche like semiconductor design and automation (not exactly a hot topic for people buying info products I'd imagine!) which I spent the last 15 years doing.

My hobbies are like-wise "odd" and I spend a lot of time on the computer (see #1 above) or doing things like building small electronic projects which is an area, again, populated by tech-savvy people I'm guessing. I'm a bit of a jack of all trades, master of none actually.

Maybe I just need a different viewpoint and the stuff above is viable for an info-product. I desperately want to create and sell something as my job just keeps getting worse and worse and I want to get-out at some point in the near future!

Disorganization
Lack of Time
Lack of Focus

All stuff in my head really.

If you put the same effort into promotting someone elses product and they make 75 - 50% of the sale plus 100% of the sale that is not done through an affiliate why wouldn't you just try and create your own product. That way you are making the larger end of the pie.

You don't even need to know how to make a product, just come up with an idea or find a profitable idea someone else is doing and come up with an idea to compete or compliment. Then all you need to do to promote it is do your affiliate marketing like you always do and then have your roduct as a back end bonus or upsell. And for the product creation look on elance or rentacoder.com there are people out there begging to work and create a new product. And for about $300.00 or so you can get a product that will make you ten times that in the long run as long as you focus and just put it out there.

MY first product I started selling on Ebay about 5 years ago. Then I took it off ebay and developed my first web site. I sold the product on my site for $100.00 and had upsells that went from $104 per item to $175 and my cost was between $10 - $30.00 includeing paypal fees. When I got serious and put in the effort I made $30,000.00 in one year. In 2009 I have a specific plan in place with 7 online businessess that all tie into each other and with my projections and testing we believe we will do over 21 million dollars in sales.

And the best thing about creating your own product isn't the money, it is the feeling that you had an idea and someone else though that the idea was good and would fill their needs or desire and was willing to give up their hard earned money for it. That is the best feeling in the world.

To your success in 09
