Selling Online: Selecting a Product

Today, I am making CDs in my home office. Over the past two days, I made over 100 CDs and cases for this Montana book show. And I've only just begun. There is a great demand for my CDs on low-budget Internet marketing for small business.

My CDs and video tutorials cover many topics - parenting, making Biblical decisions in modern times, the Biblical view of debt, and more. One of my most popular CDs, entitled Small Businesses That Kids Can Start, teaches kids practical entrepreneurial skills. Other CDs teach customers how to turn a recording into a product, and how to make a profit on eBay.

Additionally, home remodeling audios are in the works - as a contractor with 20 years experience, my specialized knowledge still comes in handy! How about you? Do you have specialized knowledge, information you could use to create your own business? Each and every month, I create new products, which are sold online. Recently, I was told, "You don't really do this yourself. You make money by telling other people how to make money. That's crazy!"

Actually, that's not true. I create products for many different niches and market them on the Internet. I can help you do the same thing.

Take today's job, for example. Do you know how much equipment I need to make 100 CDs in two days?

- A personal computer, just like the one you're reading this with.

- A printer - you probably have one too!

- A CD burner (I make lots of copies, and don't want to over-use the one in my computer. I bought one for a hundred bucks at Office Depot)

- 100 DVD cases, at $.37 each

- 100 blank CDs, $.17 each

- Finally, CD labels, at $.20 each.

Add it up - that's not a huge capital outlay to create all of these CDs. Creating an e-book is even cheaper. Why don't you give it a try? It doesn't require a large capital outlay to record an interview, a "how to" audio or video, or an e-book. Simply find your area of expertise, seek your niche, and go for it!

There are many niches to be filled, and there is a demand for your expertise. Creating an audio, "How to Make Money on the Internet" is only a tiny sliver. As you can see, there's an unlimited supply of topics available. Do your research and follow some easy steps, and you will be ready to learn how to make Money on the Internet.

You must believe in yourself. Others just like you have created e-books, audios, tutorials, home study courses, even seminars. Try selling other people's products, or earn commissions by recommending other products. There are many small businesses that kids can start, and many low budget Internet marketing strategies for small businesses. Find the one that works for you, and you too can become an Internet success.

All it takes is some confidence and a willingness to learn new skills. You can do anything you want to do. The first step is always the hardest - try starting with a free blog, a great way to get acquainted with potential customers on the Internet. I have faith in you. You CAN do it!
