I'm an expert in my market and have a lot of great ideas for niche products. The first one I've produced is at: http://www.tradingpricepatterns.com/tutorial It's a 300 page e-book, all of which is original and written by me. The purchase includes 12 videos, which run over an hour. The tutorial also includes a one hour one-on-one webinar with each purchase (WebEx or GoToMeeting type of one-on-one instruction). This seems like a good value to me, and I've been in the industry for years. But I just can't seem to convert any prospects. I'm selling the product on a blog that I've run for a few months, which has decent organic traffic. I'm wondering if the blog -- and other links in the main navigation -- are distracting would-be buyers? I'm also wondering if my pitch page is complete crap? I'm offering a 50% commission to affiliates, and I'm getting some hops already, but none are converting. As soon as I can figure out the formula I'll be releasing 3 other products I have in the pipeline. Hopefully we (me and affiliates) can make some good money together if I can just figure out the marketing and how to convert. Any thoughtful analysis is very much appreciated.
to SELL products of true value appears to be the MODERN way ... but there might be OLD-fashoned methods far more successful than selling values! what if you put all online in small pages, chapter by chapter, fully SEO's and adsense optimized and then get a bunch of traffic from visitors to pay you in full the cost of deveolopment and maintenance of your complete course. may be you can have the FULL text online for free and offer the videos either for download or to order for a honest donation or a flat price in addtition to the free online texts ... I do something similar since nearly 11 years most successfully ( by means of site visitors ( some 15-20k u/v / day and adsense revenue ( several k$/months ) and thus have no need to charge for anything at all. think about and may be you give it a try important however is that you KNOW SEO and get every single page/chapter as a potential ENTRY page for that particular page-topic-keyword(s)
Good luck! I have absolutely all online free plus 1 download file .zip format for offline reading to assure interested readers have ALL - this is available for a honest donation plus again for a honest donation, the entire content on a DVD it all works perfectly for me and all readers ever since since all pages are fully SEO'd - i have some 4000+ ENTRY pages from all major SE's you just need to break down your entire texts into small logical units limited to a precise topic - to allow easy SEO around this precise topic. i have all important content in flat HTML files for easier optimization and maintenance. that makes my life substantially easier.
