What do I need to get started selling niche products?
First, you'll need one or more ebooks to resell. Next, you'll
need a website to sell the ebooks through. It will need a
professional design to inspire trust in your visitors, so this
may not be the time to hire your teenaged nephew to design one
for you. Think about the last website you made a purchase from:
Was the layout easy to navigate, attractive, and free of errors?
Would you have felt comfortable making a purchase from a site
that didn't look quite right? You will need to hire a
professional web designer; look online, or contact the design
firm that created one of your favorite sites.
The website will need a shopping cart program to process sales.
Only offering pay-by-check/money order options will greatly
limit your sales potential; after all, the point of purchasing
an ebook is to be able to read it immediately. To accept credit
cards (and instant check payments, too) signup for a free
account at PayPal.com. In exchange for a low percentage of your
sales and no monthly fee, they let you accept payment securely
and then transfer funds to your bank account. (Or, use their
free debit card to withdraw funds from the nearest ATM.)
You will also need a compelling sales letter and at least two
informative articles for each ebook. The sales letter convinces
visitors to your website how valuable your product is and seals
the deal. You will need the articles to help attract visitors to
your website in the first place; offering a sample of useful
information will get readers to trust you, and leave them
wanting more--leading them to purchase from you! You can hire
someone to write these pieces, or try and write them yourself.
If these steps sound a bit overwhelming, consider starting with
a comprehensive niche product program like EasyNicheProduct.com.
Not only will they provide you with a selection of new (themed!)
ebooks to resell on a monthly basis, but the monthly fee
includes an automatic website creation tool that creates a
customized, professional selling page in less than five minutes,
with no coding or graphic skills needed. It integrates
automatically with PayPal. A professionally written sales letter
and two researched articles are also included with each and
every ebook, taking care of almost all the legwork.
