Most that read this blog are new to internet business, and probably are not that familiar with all of the the methods to make money online. I want to talk about a few little known ways to sell products online.
- Selling products through articles - Anyone who has ever looked into search engine optimization (even a little) knows about the importance of writing good articles and submitting them to the right places. What is you take a new approach to these articles, and stop thinking of them as an "SEO Tool", and more of a "product selling tool". You can talk about your products and feature all the good in them inside the article, and all of the article submission sites out there (that I have used) let you put a link to your website in the bio, or signature area. Call people to action inside the article and get them to want to click on your link and view your products.
- Selling products through communities - Talk to anyone about the internet that is a little older, and ask them about My Space and they will probably tell you they have never heard of it, or that's the place where all the child predators hang out. Yes, there is bad on the website, but there is also good (as with anything) and I want you and your business to hit the community of "good" users. You are bringing your product to a whole new market by setting up a business "My Space" account.
- Google Base - I know I have chatted about this before, but Google Base, and Froogle. Its free, so why would you not want to create an account and sell products onl Google Base? Google Checkout (which is similar to paypal) is process free this entire year. So what do you have to lose? Nothing.
- Online classifieds - I have talked before about Craigslist being an awesome place to sell products online, but don't forget about searching out the local ones that allow you to sell online too!
These are a few of the ones that I have had great success with. Just remember to try and take advantage of every avenue online and get your products there. If you can do this then you will be more successful.
