First of all, I’m shocked by the amount of people that are coming to this blog. I had over 1,500 visitors to it last month. Evidently, you’re all just to lazy to leave comments and discuss what I write about.
Since I’m getting decent traffic I will post some more marketing info here soon.
Alright on to the crappy weekend… You may have noticed that this site, as well as all of my other websites have been down since sometime Saturday. Unfortunately I didn’t find out about it until sunday morning when I noticed I had made no sales for the day.
I’ve had the same webhosting company for a few years now and I’ve never had any problems. But this weekend my traffic exceeded my bandwidth limit, so my webhost shut all of my websites down and locked my webhosting account.
I could go on a rampage about this because it cost me HUNDREDS of dollars in wasted advertising and lost sales but I’m not because it won’t help anything.
Oh yeah, I also lost a lot of money playing poker friday. I’m good and usually make money pretty consistantly but I got hit with a feirce streak of a bad luck for some reason.
So it’s been a crappy weekend, I had planned to launch a new product this weekend but that has now been put off until I have time tonight or tommorow.
There is a upside to it all though… I stumbled on a new Niche a few days ago. It’s not really new, just new to me because I had never considered it.
What I noticed was a huge market of highly passionate, almost desperate customers. The market is huge but even the biggest competitors (some minor celebrities) have weak marketing.
Digital products wouldn’t be too effective for the market since they are buying DVD’s and physical items. That’s actually good because I want to get away from clickbank with some of my products so my entire income won’t fall victim to the “Clickbank Rollarcoaster” of sales fluctuations.
The most popular product in the market doesn’t even do what the customers want, it’s just the best option available. That “half working” product costs maybe $5 to make and ship, yet sells by the thousands for $500!
With some pre-launch hype, that would spread easily on it’s own in this market, I could probably make over $250,000 in sales the first week and over a million in the first year.
How did I find this Market?
Well I actually became a part of the market(ADD leads me to alot of different things) and after hours of research(and buying a few products) I realized the market was hugely underserved.
Lesson: Be your own customer… Become a part of a market before you sell to it, so you can better understand what the market wants.
