In order to locate products that sell online, we need to understand what people already want to buy. Finding a good choice of idea or product is always accompanied by interfacing the demand for the product in the current market and the level of competition or market share that the product will be having in the long run.
“What should I sell? What products are hot selling? These are the questions most people are trying to find an answer in order for them to make the definite decision. And if we really want to know the answer to this question, our only choice is to do some research. There are all kinds of twists along the road that may lead you to think you have a high-demand idea. We must be able to understand and satisfy the need, wants and expectations of our customers on a certain product that they’re trying to buy. This three are called the basic needs or minimum requirements in a purchase. Needs are the basic reasons or the minimum requirements consumers are looking for in a product or service. They are called the qualifying or “gatekeeper” dimensions in a purchase. Wants are the determining dimensions among many choices. Expectations, on the other hand, are values or intangibles associated with a product or service. Expectations are actually part of “wants” but they become extremely important when products or services are not differentiated.
For example, in reading a logic book, university students look for the following: Relevant logic concepts use of simple language, easy to understand and affordable prices. These similar ideas can be applied to Internet Sales as well. After all, the Internet is just another place to sell products. The basic concept of demand is the same there as it is anywhere else, and has been all the time.
Now, the second thing that must be considered in finding “hot” products to sell are the level of competition or the market shares do your product will have. Market share or level of competition means the ratio of your brand sales versus the total market sales. While companies would naturally define its target competitors, it is actually the consumers who ultimately decide the competitive frame, or the list related products or services that consumers consider when exercising their purchasing power. We must therefore choose the market segment where we can have a potential leadership or at least a strong challenger role. Because the overriding objective of getting into this business is not just to satisfy the needs and wants of our customers but to do so profitably better than his competition. Otherwise, our competition will end up satisfying the customers better than our own interest.
Third factor to be considered in finding hot selling products is finding out the general interest level about the product. General interest in a product helps us to gauge where our demand and competition numbers fall into the big picture. Simply saying, if there isn’t much demand for the product, and there isn’t much competition, it would seem that it might not be good a good put up for sale. But the research doesn’t stop here; there is one last thing to be considered to exactly find the hot selling products that you’ve been looking for. We must also learn how others are advertising those products. If there are a good number of them doing so, it may mean that it’s a good product to get into. Coming to the last phase of the process is analyzing and evaluating all the information that has been collected. We have to look at all of the data we have collected on demand, competition, and advertising, and make decision as how they all balance out.
And here are several factors or aspects that must be measured: (a) not enough demand means not enough people are going to buy (b) too much competition means not enough of a profit to go around (c) too much advertising drives up the price of pay per click ads, and competition as well (d) not enough general interest, combined with low demand, means there may not be a good market even if there is competition trying to make the sales.

There’s been a ton of buzz around this system over the past few days and if you haven’t heard about it yet, let me just fill you in…
It’s called the “Commission Blueprint” – a radical formula created by Tim Godfrey and Steven Clayton that exploits Clickbank and Google in such a devious way that the resulting profits are in the realms of the *insane*.
Of course, you will have heard this kinda’ thing a gazillion times before and to be perfectly honest so have I…
But after checking this out, I can give you rock solid confirmation that this is the real deal, especially if you want to replicate a simple system that generates MASSIVE Clickbank commissions.
Let me just throw some figures your way…
- $6,513.04 in one day
- $153,426.72 in 6 weeks
- $526,422.83 in 7 months.
…and the crazy thing is, these numbers were generated by promoting ONE Clickbank product, bidding on just ONE keyword…and without ANY help from JV partners or even an email list!
…not to mention the fact that this simple affiliate campaign took just a few minutes to set up.
How was it done?
This is a VERY VERY different ball game…
In fact, if you’ve ever wondered why most affiliates struggle to produce a red cent in profit whilst others effortlessly rake in unfathomable Clickbank commissions seemingly with their hands tied behind their back, then sit up and take note, because you’re
about to find out why.
—————-
The Best Thing?
—————-
You need no experience at all because they take you through the entire process on screen AND give you all the tools to actually make it happen.
—————-
The Weird Thing?
—————-
It’s frankly bizarre that they’re revealing this stuff. If it were me, I would’ve kept my mouth FIRMLY shut for sure.
These guys do 7 figures a year with Clickbank consistently and generate far bigger numbers than virtually anyone else on the planet.
Point being…if you’re a suffering affiliate, you NEED this material. Badly.
—————-
The Bad News…
—————-
There are only very limited spots available and judging by how fast this has spread around the net, they’ll go ultra fast… possibly
in the next few hours.
It has literally just gone live though so you should be in time…
End result?
Affiliates who FAIL to get hold of this information will be left fighting for scraps and ultimately will be in a world of hurt from now on; that much I can assure you…
You can’t afford to be left out of the loop with this one…

Most Internet marketers understand that having mini sites is the fastest and easiest way to make money online. They don’t require a lot of time, energy, or money to set up, and once you’ve got one up and running, you can sit back and just collect money from all the sales you’re making.
At least… that’s how it’s supposed to be, right?
The truth is that mini sites really ARE easy to set up. They really DON’T require much time, energy, and money to set up. So why is it that so few people actually make money with their mini sites?
The answer is that they never learned how to actually turn their mini site into a profitable moneymaker that runs completely on autopilot. The good news is…
*************************************************
YOU’RE ABOUT TO LEARN HOW TO DO IT!
*************************************************
Here’s what this is all about: My colleague Michael Rasmussen has just released a brand new video course that will walk you through the process of creating a killer mini site from the ground up, and then he’ll also teach you how to actually start making money with it right away and into the future.
If you’ve been looking for help with monetizing your mini sites, then this is exactly what you need. The best part? The videos are FREE! I’ll tell you more about that later. First, let’s talk about the videos themselves.
If you’re in a hurry, you can just check the videos out right now for free. Here’s the URL:
http://www.minisiteprofitsexposed.com
*************************************************
OVERALL QUALITY
*************************************************
It’s important to note that these are online videos that you access from your web browser. Michael uses Camtasia Studio to create these videos, which is the premier software program for creating screen capture tutorials such as these.
The first thing I noticed when I hit the play button on the first video was the incredible production quality. These are NOT your ordinary screen capture videos. In fact, I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone make videos that are this high quality before.
He uses beautifully created graphics to pass his wisdom along to you, and the sound quality is the highest you will ever hear in an Internet marketing product. They sound like they were recorded in a professional studio.
Michael explained to me that he was sick and tired of seeing all the low quality videos out there, and so he set out to create something different in order to raise the bar in our industry. I think that, when you see Mini Site Profits Exposed for yourself, you’ll agree that he has succeeded.
Now let’s move onto…
*************************************************
THE ACTUAL VIDEOS
*************************************************
Here’s a brief summary of each video. Obviously it’s impossible to list every single thing here, but I want you to get a feel for what each one covered, and how well it covered it.
If you’re in a hurry, you can just check the videos out right now for free. Here’s the URL:
http://www.minisiteprofitsexposed.com
VIDEO 1 – INTRODUCTION
This videos introduces you to the entire course, as well as the teacher himself. You’ll learn what you can expect from the course, and why it’s structured the way it is.
Michael realizes that you may not have heard of him, and so he spends some time establishing hiscredibility with you by sharing some of his biggest successes. It doesn’t come across as bragging at all. Michael explains that, in order for you to get value from the teachings, you need to have faith that the teacher actually knows what he’s talking about. By the end of this video, you will have no doubt.
By the way, this is a good lesson for all of us product developers. If you want people to accept you as an authority on any subject, you first need to establish your credibility with the reader. That way he’s willing to relax, and trust that what you’re telling him is sound advice.
VIDEO 2 – THE BASICS
This video will introduce you to the basics of mini site marketing. This will set the foundation that all future learning will rest upon, so it’s important to pay close attention to this one.
You’ll learn:
* What mini-sites are, and what makes them different from regular content sites.
* Which businesses they work well for… and which ones they don’t.
* The right mindset to have when it comes to creating mini sites as part of your online business strategy.
* And the different tools you need to get started.
This was a great video, and did an excellent job of kicking things off, and building the foundation for
the rest of the course.
VIDEO 3 – SQUEEZE PAGES
This is probably one of the most useful videos of the entire course. Every Internet marketer needs to build an email list, but how do you do it? What is the best way to capture the most opt-ins?
The answer is ’squeeze pages’. This video will teach you:
* Why using a squeeze page is far superior to other opt-in methods.
* The single most important thing you must include at the top of your squeeze page to skyrocket your opt-in rate.
* The secret structure of a squeeze page, and why most marketers get it wrong (which costs them a LOT of money).
* The most important to include in your opt-in process that will make sure that people actually receive your email.
After watching this video, you’ll know everything you need to know to start building a massive opt-in list right away. This will probably be the first video that you ‘take action’ on. You’ll be so excited about the possibilities, that I guarantee you’ll go and create
your own squeeze page right away.
VIDEO 4 – MINI SITE COPYWRITING – PART ONE
Nothing happens until the sales copy is written. Graphics alone will never sell a product, but sales copy alone WILL. This video begins to demystify the mysterious process of writing words that make people whip out their credit cards and buy.
Specifically, you’ll learn:
* Why you need to learn copywriting, even if you “hate to write”
* What a compelling offer looks like, and how to tell the difference.
* How to write an eyeball-grabbing headline that practically forces your readers to go through your entire page.
* A simple trick you can use in your opening to make your reader want to learn more.
There is no skill that is more important to your success than the ability to write killer sales copy. Make sure you pay extra attention to this video, as well as…
VIDEO 5 – MINI SITE COPYWRITING – PART TWO
This video dives right into the individual components of a killer sales letter. You’ll learn how to create the “secret structure” of a mini site sales letter that makes big money. Specifically, you’ll learn:
* How to create captivating body copy that draws your reader into the sales letter.
* Bullets that force your reader to keep reading the whole page, and makes them insanely curious and want to buy your product
* How to take the risk off people’s shoulders, so they’ll feel safe buying from you.
* How to craft your ‘call to action’, and get people to whip out their credit cards and buy immediately.
* The secrets of writing a killer P.S. that helps seal the deal, and flip your prospect into a buyer instantly.
This video covered a surprising amount of detail, especially considering that this course is not specifically about copywriting. Michael Rasmussen is definitely someone who overdelivers in his educational products.
VIDEO 6 – HOW TO AUTOMATE THE DELIVERY OF YOUR INFOPRODUCT
Unless you want to be chained to your computer, you must learn how to put your mini sites on autopilot. The only thing you should be doing is driving traffic, and letting the site itself do all the work, including the work of instantly delivering the product to the customer.
This video will walk you through the process of automating your product delivery, so you can just relax, and collect the money. The best part is… once you have this automated system set up, you never have to touch it again.
VIDEO 7 – HOW TO “GROW” YOUR SALE
This video is guaranteed to be an eye opener for almost everyone who watches it, even the experienced marketers. Michael dives into some of the most effective ‘upselling’ techniques that I’ve ever seen.
Nowhere else on the Internet have I seen such a thorough tutorial on how to increase the ’size’ of your orders. You’ll learn:
* The psychology of ‘upselling’, and how to use it make your customer spend even more money with you. The best part? He’ll think it was his idea!
* The absolute best time to upsell your customer. This one will surprise you when you realize how much money you’ve been leaving on the table by skipping this step.
* 5 simple techniques to increase your profit by up to 100%.
If you’ve already got a mini site that’s up and running, this video will make a big difference for you right away. Use any of these ‘plug and profit’ strategies to increase your income literally overnight!
VIDEO 8 – CREATING AN AFFILIATE SALES FORCE
If there’s one thing I’ve noticed that all successful marketers have in common, it’s that they have a great affiliate program. They create a program that allows other people to make good money by promoting their products, and they get to just sit back and relax, while everyone else is doing the hard work of promoting FOR them.
If you’ve ever dreamed of having an army of motivated sales people working hard to make you money, then you’re going to love this video. Michael will teach you:
* What an affiliate program is, and how to set one up very quickly.
* Exactly what tools you need to give your affiliates (most people miss the mark here, so pay extra attention to this part).
* Why merely having an affiliate program is NOT enough to convince people to sign up, and what you can do instead to have people eagerly trying to become one of your affiliates.
* How to motivate affiliates to sell for you.
VIDEO 9 – MINI SITE MISTAKES TO AVOID
Let’s face it… it’s not enough to explain what you should do. You also need to know what mistakes you should avoid. Michael has already made these costly mistakes, but you don’t have to. You’ll learn:
- Why people do judge a book by its cover… and how to capitalize on that for your mini-site
- The single biggest reason people don’t buy from a mini site, and how you can apply this ‘instant fix’.
- The single biggest thing that will kill your mini-site (it’s not what you think, and making this mistake is a surefire way to drain money from your bank account FAST!)
- Two list building mistakes that’ll cripple your long-term profits.
VIDEO 10 – SECRETS OF CREATING A PRODUCT FUNNEL
This video will walk you through the process of designing a product line that will make you a TON of money. There’s a lot more to it than you’d think, which is why this important concept (which was taken from direct marketing) gets it’s own video.
After watching this video, you’ll understand why you can’t just have a single front end product, and you’ll know exactly what to do in order to get your customer to keep buying more and more expensive products from you… completely on autopilot!
This video is a MUST for any serious marketer who wants to make a lot of money from their online business.
VIDEO 11 – OUTSOURCING SECRETS FOR WORKING LESS, AND MAKING MORE
The title of this video says it all. You’ll learn all of Michael’s secrets for getting top notch freelancers to help you create your mini site empire in record time.
Let’s face it, you can’t be an expert at everything that mini sites require. For example, it’s really tough to be a top notch graphic designer, while also mastering HTML, and then becoming a killer copywriter, on top of also creating the product itself.
And the list goes on and on. If you want to be efficient, and begin making money as fast as possible, outsourcing is the secret to making it happen. This video will show you exactly what to do, as well as some common (and very expensive) pitfalls to avoid.
VIDEO 12 – OUTSOURCING SECRETS FOR WORKING LESS, AND MAKING MORE
Let’s face it… it doesn’t matter how great your mini site is if you don’t get any traffic coming to it. Getting traffic can be one of the most confusing and mysterious parts of making money online IF you don’t get the proper education.
Thankfully, Michael really dives in, and gives you a lightning fast education in this area. Specifically, you’ll learn:
* How to use Pay Per Click (PPC) advertising to get targeted traffic fast.
* 3 ways to get targeted traffic without spending a dime.
* 2 ways to leverage the experience and contacts of other people to explode your traffic.
