Over the last few weeks I have taken a look at what I have laying on my hard drive and read some of the e-books I have bought.
You know what I found?
A lot of information I could be using to increase my profits almost instantly. But more than that, I realised that Mike Filsaimes report at the end of last year “The Death Of Internet Marketing” was spot on. We are all going in ever decreasing circles selling stuff to each other, until internet marketing implodes in on itself with a whimper. Mike done a great job of pointing it out, and even gave us all alternatives, and for free.
But what did all of us do about the free information Mike passed around?
Nothing.
We’re all still doing the same old thing, me included, we buy internet marketing products, with resale rights, and sell them to each other. We discover new ways of making sales online, and use them to sell even more to other internet marketers, and it goes round, and round, and round. I’ve seen a few of the smarter marketers opting out of this merry go round of selling to each other and instead look at other potential markets.
So I decided why not join them?
With that in mind I have taken some steps to use the knowledge I have of selling online to sell information products into other niche markets. You know I think it might be an easier sale in the long run, the general internet user who isn’t studying the sales techniques of others is less jaded, and may well respond more positively (ie spend) to the marketing tricks we have been mastering.
When someone is looking for information about healthy feeding of their baby, they won’t instantly recognise the selling technique of a squeeze page offering a free e-course about healthy baby food and a free e-book as a bonus for signing up. They will see an offer they need, and won’t be jaded enough to look for the catch like you or I my fellow internet marketing friend.
One of the other e-books I had laying around which helped me come to this decision was “5 Bucks A Day” which offers useful information and a plan to make one 5 buck a day project per week. It also contains some great ideas to get your 5 bucks a day projects started. 
And so I’ve started, I am setting up a few different sites in different ways to test what works best, spending a little time on each project and once I know what works, I will be using that as a template to setup multiple sites on multiple niches outside of internet marketing.
Why not join in, and let us know where you’re heading this year?
Do you have a plan for 2007 yet?
What do you think about getting away from selling internet marketing information and software and looking at other niches?
Come on, it may just be fun and profitable
