Thinking about making a product in a niche...

Discussion in 'ClickBank' started by Supper, Sep 2, 2008.

    I'm obviously not going to tell you. It's just a subniche that is small. It's just something I was thinking about making.

    There is a grand total of 1 products for it being sold on clickbank. The sales page is god awful. Like it's pitiful.

    Here's the catch. There are a lot of low competition keywords that I can and already have ranked for. There are plenty of tangible products available and are listed on the sides of Google for various related keywords.

    There's only one ebook, with a horrible horrible sales letter.

    Should I dive into this market as a publisher? Or a better question, would you?

    Yeah, I think you should do it, no matter how successful your attempt would be, it would be a good learning experience for you, and experience is the greatest teacher, so go for it.

    If It sells... you win... because you earn some good money
    If it doesn't sell.. you win again.. by learning a valuable lesson :D

    do you have any idea on how profitable the current ebook is? (the one with the horrible sales letter) and do you know how big the potential market for it is?

    answer these questions and you'll know for sure wether its a good idea

    I'd do it. You've just found a great opportunity, go take it. Hell the worst you'll come out with is whatever you spent on outsourcing and the domain name/hosting.

    Do a great job pre-selling on your landing page and hopefully you make some cash.

    My gut is confused lol. It's hard to say what will happen. I suppose the market is small and large in a way since it will get just about all athletes interested in it, but I'm not sure about the buying power of the market.

    The page has only a few points in gravity, for a crappy crappy sales page. Like god awful and horrible.

    Sales from affiliates make up over 75%. I haven't been able to get a sale for the product yet.

    Test it :)

    Who knows? Your products could be like one of the most needed things by the time you launch.

    I think the marketers have discovered every niche, which is profitable.

    Nowadays, there is nothing "hidden", or some kind of goldmine. Unless offline events affect in some way the products, such as rising gas or electricity prices, etc, there are no uncovered niches...

    Regarding your situation, I know many niches, which don't have products on Clickbank, but I look at it other way.

    If there are no products, or only few, that means the market is really small and it's hard to profit/sell there.

    I wouldn't call the market a goldmine, but it does have potential I think. Like, there is a very big market outside of eBooks. People are selling stuff, just not ebooks.

    I'll agree with you in one sense, and that is all markets are pretty much tapped online, but I'm not convinced everything has been tapped through all mediums. And what I mean by medium is physical products (pieces of equipment, pills, etc) and intangible (ebook, software, course, etc).

    I don't expect to hit a goldmine with my early products lol.

    You may be right to some extent, however I think that

    There are hundreds of niches that noone even thought about. The market and the world is changing, new niches appear also contionously.

    I've personally found a couple of smaller niches which have no competition at all in CB.

    Be creative, do your research, watch TV, read the news, you're gonna come up with an idea

    Yes they do, there are websites and hard-copy books on the subjects, however there is no CB product, or any kind of ebook that I know of in the particular niche

    We should do a case study and see what results we got.
