Product Development and Niche Marketing Research

When doing research for niche marketing and developing products... there's really not much different in the steps you take when doing your research.

clipped from www.andrewdaum.com Product Development and Niche Marketing Ideas: Part 2 Product Development and Niche Marketing Ideas: Part 2 In Part 1 of this series I gave you a resource of products sold using direct mail. Let’s take this “Idea Generator” one step further. What about all of those late night infomercials? How did those products do… and what did those who purchased the product think of it. The reviews are mixed. Some loved the product they purchased… some said they were outright scams. Like “Part 1″ of Product Development and Niche Marketing Ideas — this is an “Idea Generator” post. Take a look at what sold… if you have the time, do a little cross referencing of these products at NextMark. One product that jumped out at me was Kevin Trudeau’s “Debt Cures”. His controversial debt cure book had mixed reviews… but there does seem to be a demand for the product, and possibly one that’s better (hint, hint).

iBuzzPro Testimonial Video

iBuzzPro seems like it is going to be a great money maker.

Most Affiliate programs only pay 10 to 50% when you make
a sale -- iBuzzPro will pay you 100% once you have become a qualified Reseller.

To become a qualified reseller, just make 2 sales, that's it.

On your first 2 qualifying sales you make $250, after that you make $5000 for each sale you make.

This has to be the best Affiliate Program on the planet bar none.

The "Voice Broadcasting" system is a virtual auto sales machine
in itself.

This is the product you are selling.

All you do is load up the phone numbers of your contacts into iBuzzPro and let er rip.

You could have hundreds or thousands of people either calling or visiting your web site wanting to know more about your products or services.

This has to be the best Marketing tool to come around since

clipped from www.insidernet.com iBuzzPro Testimonial Video ~ what others are saying Just a quick little 'Testimonial Video' on what other iBuzzPro users are saying. On a side note, I did have an intersting call today from a guy with a few questions about iBuzzPro who's a Window Tinter. He was sold before he called me — only problem, he is so busy tinting car windows now (hot here in Texas — over 100 today) he is worried he'll have more business than he can handle — what a problem to have. He is really busy during the summer months, but his business comes to a crawl during the Winter. So that is his plan… go ahead and get everything set up over the next couple of weeks, then crank iBuzzPro up when it starts turning cold. Never fails… a month before Summer hits I receive all kinds of flyers and such in the mail offering me deals on Air Conditioning tune ups… adding Insulation to my attic… Radiant barrier… Pool Cleaning… all of these companies could use iBuzzPro. They'd save a heck of a lot of money on postage for sure.

You have tried promoting Affiliate Programs for weeks/months. You spent a good 'chunk' of money to sign-up but have made just 1 or 2 sales (or zero sales).

You've tried promoting products on Google best you knew how. But you haven't been able to generate even a 10th of the income, you thought you would've by now!

You have tried promoting your Affiliate Products by advertising online. You made good commissions. But you paid so much in advertising that you barely broke even - or even worse, you lost money.

If this sounds like you -- check out iBuzzPro

iBuzzPro ~ Affiliate Marketing with a Twist

iBuzzPro... fast money and a real product, what else could you ask for.

I think this is going to be a great program to be involved with.

With iBuzzPro being a one-time $500.00, you will not be nickel and
dimed to death like a lot of programs - like the ones where you are
required to spend a couple hundred a month buying vitamins.

I'm getting ready to do an iBuzzPro voice broadcast today to over
5000 business opportunity seekers. This should make my phone ring
a little -- beats calling them in person.

iBuzzPro supplied the business opportunity seekers list free of charge.

In fact, they have over 5 million biz opp and network marketing leads
members can use free.

Again, I think iBuzzPro is going to be one of those programs I'll look
back on and be gla

clipped from www.andrewdaum.com Affiliate Marketing ~ $500 Commission with a twist: Part 1 A company launches a new product that every Affiliate Marketer, Online Marketer, Realtor, Insurance Agent, Web Site owner, Home Improvement and Carpet Cleaning company wants — basically, it’s something that you and every business owner must have if you plan on staying in business. This is not something that would be nice if you had it — oh no, it’s something you MUST have or you’ll go broke. It’s that critical. Like the air that keeps you alive, it is truly the “AIR” to your business. What is it? This is how it works on the “front-end” with the company I am referring to (there is a “back-end” as well where you make more money) — when you join the Affiliate Program and purchase the product, you now have “Resale Rights” to the product. The illustration below is the way most Affiliate programs are set up — where you are selling products for a commission that someone else created, like Mike. Go to: http://affiliate.ibuzzpro.com

Link Building oldie ~ but some still goodie

Except for the linking back to other sites -- trading links, this is still a good article even for today.

If you will notice -- even though this article is six years old, some of the people mentioned are like the "who's who" of SEO and link building today.

clipped from searchenginewatch.com 131 (Legitimate) Link Building Strategies July 11, 2002 In search engine optimization, "off page" factors have become more and more important as they relate to rankings. In particular, solid link popularity can literally make or break a site with the search engines. However, one of the most difficult areas of SEO is building link popularity. Why? Because the engines don't want "artificially created" (or useless) links, so there are no easy ways to build link popularity. The days of link farms and huge link exchange programs are over. Try those strategies now and you can easily find yourself booted out of an engine. The Purpose of this Article Start with the Basics: Review any Web site to which you want to link *before* writing to its Webmaster asking for a link. Like all SEO, do it manually. Automating the task is asking for trouble, especially if you haven't reviewed the site before asking for the link. (Gil Sery with Search Engine Optimization Pros)

Link Building Exchanges ~ Good or Bad?

I've seen a few of these link building subscription sites where for $40 or $50 a month you can have a 3 way linking structure.

One site links to you -- you link to another... and another one links to the first one. This way you do not have reciprocal linking that Google supposedly does not like.

The question is -- do you always know the quality of the site linking to you using this Ménage à trois arrangement?

... and is really worth paying 30 to 60 bucks a month when you can do the same thing for free.

clipped from www.andrewdaum.com Link Building ~ the Holy Grail to High Search Engine Listings Or how about this one; utility poster video I’m #1 for that phrase in Google. I could go on and on, give you my most profitable phrases that I rank for — but I’d be messing myself up by giving you those phrases. Besides, the run my car on water phrase is a pretty good one. Whenever I write a post… I first think of the words or phrases I want to rank well for in the search engines. I write down the main phrase… then I write down three or four related phrases and use them though out the post (article). Once I’ve finished with the post, I let the post sit — I don’t link to it from anywhere or basically do anything with it for a few days. No promo at all. I want Google to find it here first — and Wordpress does a good job of that. If you want to cut your learning curve down a bit — (here’s the pitch), I have created a 40 page report on how I do it

Information Overload

I've been like a hamster on a treadmill for quite awhile now.

I'm sure you are as well.

With all the email we receive -- people pitching us products... sharing the secrets of the universe... how to get rich by the time we go to bed -- and the product launches -- getting the same email from 30 or 40 people day after day.

It has to end.

So I ended it.

I put to high a price on my time to read email after email -- that have no true value to me, just so these folks can pitch me their latest and greatest whiz banger.

clipped from www.andrewdaum.com Unsubscribe ~ You’ve got mail I did something that I’ve needed to do for a long time… I unsubscribed from over one hundred (yep, over a 100) lists I had subscribed to over the last few years. After that… I decided it was time to delete a few bookmarks of sites I frequent far to much. Over the years, I had bookmarked literally thousands of sites — deleted all but ninety four, and that still sounds like a lot. Same thing with the email subscriptions. Honestly, I found this to be my top time waster of anything I used to do. I can’t remember who or where I heard it from… but a few years back, I remember someone saying you need to subscribe to all your competitors newsletters (to study what they are doing)… as well as Marketers lists who seem to know what they are doing… to see how they do it. So I did. Up until the last year or so… it wasn’t to bad. Here lately though, it is truly out of control. Here’s a link to his free Internet Marketing Cure ebook.

How to run my Car on Water?

A lot of people think it is possible... I even know one guy who converted his truck.

I'll convert my truck over after I see how my buds truck runs for awhile.

If it keeps on running good... I'll be converting mine over quick.

clipped from www.andrewdaum.com Want To Know How to Run Your Car on WATER as FUEL Having just purchased a new Ford Hybrid, this sort of stuff interest me. I am not a tree hugger or do I buy into global warming due to emissions, I am interested in this sort of stuff from a purely selfish financial standpoint. Is it possible to really use water as fuel in your car? There is very convincing evidence that supports the fact that you can. I’m not talking about Hydrogen… I’m talking about a form of water - HHO (water being H20 and hydrogen being H). I’ll be the first to admit I know nothing about this stuff. If you do try this… let me know… I sure would like to know if the results are as good as they report. I cannot imagine getting an extra 10 or 15 miles per gallon. That would be incredible.

AAA Plan to Wealth

I like Joe Vitale.

I own many of his books.

I own his entire Hypnotic Marketing and Writing series... and a few others more along the lines of spirituality and such.

I think you will like this video... good stuff.

So you will know, I define a Mentor as someone you listen to… take guidance from, and basically heed what they say. They have “Trustmark.” This is not to say you do not waffle a bit and question what your Mentor(s) say at times — after all, they may be suggesting something you need to do that’s either foreign, or outside of your comfort zone.

You can download his priceless book in a digital format for free; Many a Copywriters career was launched because of this book! While the letters in the book are a bit dated, what makes them effective is as true today as it was when it was written. It’s truly a must have resource for your library. There is no catch… it truly is a totally free download.

Popurls is a great resource site.

I can scan down through the page -- look and see what's popular... what's buzzing and hot at the moment, and then write an article on the same topic.

If I'm not up to writing a new post... I can simply visit the "hot" buzzing article, make a comment on the page (if it is in my niche) - and have a link back to my blog.

Or, I can do like I sometimes do -- write a post about that post if it is a Wordpress blog - link to their post within my post and possibly get a trackback.

Popurls is a great brain storming tool... be sure to check it out.

clipped from www.andrewdaum.com POPURLs ~ popular urls to the latest buzz POPurls This is just a quick FYI post on a great resource. Like you… I only have so much time in a day — and here lately, there is not enough time in the day to get everything done that I need to - so I need to streamline a few of my daily tasks. In order to keep up with trends… whats popular… and what people are talking about, I visit quite a few social networking sites and forums - and this takes a lot of time. Here’s an example of what’s popular at Digg right now; What’s popular at del.icio.us; Clipmarks…. How about Popular Videos at Youtube and Pictures at Flickr; (Russ, thought that was a boys name… that’s no boy — 3AM, go to bed) I guess the obvious question is this; “why should I even care what’s popular or what others are talking about?” I’m not going to go into why you should care in this post — but I’ll give you an example. If something is really buzzing and just picking up speed…

Utility Poster ~ Blogging Just Got Easy

Utility Poster... I love tools.

This tool will help whenever I get writers block or just cannot think of anything to write about.

Check it out -- Jack did a video of Utility Poster below... pretty cool.

clipped from www.andrewdaum.com Utility Poster ~ and a Blogging Made Easy Video Utility Poster looks to be one of those “gotta have it” tools. I say looks to be as it is not yet released — at the time of writing this post. Why is it a must have tool? Because it does something I have told people I coach to do — but it does it semi-automatically. At times we all have writers block — brain lock, or something where we cannot think of anything to write about on our blog. This post is an example of just that. Jack Humphrey (of social power linking fame) just wrote a post on his blog about his new tool, Utility Poster — I am writing about what he wrote. Instead of me telling you about it… just watch the Utility Poster video below. Social Power Linking ~ this is Jacks membership site.
