What Markets DIDN'T Work Out For You?

    What have you tried to promote that just didn't seem to take off and make any money? Everyone has at least one, so lets hear em :)

    Mine: pharmacy. I tried this when I was first getting started and had no idea what I was doing.

    I just started but I am skeptical about doing pharmaceuticals or medical related websites because I don't know much about that kind of material. I don't want to be authoring content or selling stuff that I know little about.

    Mine was web design for a company that does custom web design. I spent a butt load of money trying to promote this company before I called it quits. (cold calling, email campaigns, PPC, direct mailing, SEO, targeted traffic...you name it) There was just too much money going out and not enough coming in. Then, I got into affiliate marketing and there was no looking back.

    My next venture...starting next month...is my own line of products with my own private label and an affiliate program. Now this one I am really excited about.

    I did pretty well with pharmacy couple years ago.. before new rules apply and many of them closed.

    I did pretty good with about anything I promoted.. as long as i had nice, targeted traffic...

    I faild a little bit with casino and adult programs, but this is because i did not tryed hard enough... or was just my nick again ;)
