I am a solid web developer and I have built an eCommerce application. It is almost done and I plan to sell it as a product. However I am not a very good marketer, If you have any advice, or you have done similar thing before(build and sell products). please let me know how I can sell my products with very less marketing budgets online. Should I find a partner who is good at selling and we split the profits? Should I pay for a marketer? What online marketing distribution channels are there? I appreciate your help.
Selling a product is a very important aspect of business. if you are not good at marketing, then select the person who is good at it. Remember that if you are not able to sell it, then you are not going to earn anything. So pay for the person who will work for you. You can find some basic information on targetismarket.com Regards

SEO is a good subniche to internet marketing. There even people that do good quality marketing on Fiverr. Look for the Top Sellers. Don't be fooled by the cheap prices because there are some quality gigs on that site.
Not all SEO is good actually. Sometimes you can just stick with putting up a page and throwing in some Google Adwords down its way, and that will be enough. Just make sure to do your research on how to make efficient ad campaigns that won't drain your wallet.
you can create a website(best way to sell something online) Method1 1.register a domain name with your product name in it. you can use GoDaddy.com for that 2.hire some freelancers to write a sales page, create graphics (product image) 3.you can sell it on marketplaces such as rapbank, clickbank, payloadz, click2sell, payspree & offer a commission to affiliates This method requires a LOT of money. Method2: 1. same as above 2. outsource product design (if you dunno how to do it). write a sales page yourself. it's really not difficult. just search on sites like EzineArticles.com & you'll find many articles on it. create a simple sales page talking about benefits of product. 3. drive traffic manually to your site & keep 100% profits (if you're on low budget & dont wanna pay for it), for that: -write a couple of articles & submit to article directories (search google for list of article directories) -create simple video(1 or more) talking about product benefits. if you dont have web camera, use screencapture s/w like camstudio(its free). you should have a microphone. if not, get one for about $10. (search google for list of video sites) -use web2.0 sites & write a couple of articles on them(search google for list of web2.0 sites) -create rss feed of your site(use webrss.com, free) & submit that feed to rss directories(search google for list of rss directories) -submit site to social bookmarking sites(search google for list of bookmarking sites) -create a fb fan page, goto fiverr.com & hire a gig for $5 to get "likes" to your page. you can also use tweeter. That's all you have to do! I know it's a lot of work, but since you're on a low budget, you'll have to do it manually. It's really not difficult, trust me. just follow above steps & you'll start making sales withing a couple of weeks!
