Making Money with no stock

There is a highly saturated market out there for selling digital and information products. These are e-books and website subscriptions and software. Basically anything which you give by email. This means an unlimited supply of stock and no overheads. The only money you will need to spend is on advertising.

Where can you get hold of information products. Well, you can buy wholesale rigts to some e-books and software. If you do you can then very easily sell things on ebay. However there are a few websites which offer you the opportunity to sell their information product for a cut (typically 50%). The advantage of this is that you don't have to worry about the support and emailing the product to people. That's all dealt with by the original seller. You do need to drive as many people as you can to you advert though.

I'll start by telling you what these websites are: www.clikcbank.com and www.paydotcom.com. Sign up for both of these, then browse their "marketplace". Here you will see lots of peoples websites selling various things. What you have to do is "create a hoplink" for a product which you want to sell. Click on the "create hoplink" link and enter you username. This will give you a unique link which, when other people follow they go to the vendors website, but their clikc is tracked and if they buy the product, you get a healthy percentage.

So you have a product, but where can you plug this? Where can you place your link? It's simple. Advertise. And what is the best way to advertise? There are several ways to advertise. website and search engine adverts, your own website, but the easiest I've found is by buying an email list. I have bought a lifetime memebership to a list of email addresses which have signed up to be in the list and are expecting "offers" to get sent through. This means that once a day I can email these people with an advert or offer. What offer? - well I just say what I'm selling and include my clickbank or paydotcom hoplink. Therefore, if they are interested, they'll follow the link and buy the product giving you a percentage. I have bought into a list of over 3 million people. The sheer size of this list means I am always likely to get a good response.

This website is www.safemailservices.com but there are others lurking around. Have a look at clikcbank and see if there are any products which you might like to sell. Try and sell products which have a good ad and which have a unique subject as that often gets a better response.
