Are You Overlooking Easy Internet Riches?

In Russell Conwell's classic, "Acres of Diamonds," he
tells the story of a man who left his farm to seek
riches. This man later loses his farm, and dies at
his own hands... broke and broken. The person who
bought the farm notices diamonds in the stream flowing
through the farm, and becomes very wealthy. Internet
marketers are often like the first man, unable to see
the acres of diamonds we already have while off chasing
after some fantasy.

Are you going broke in your Internet marketing business
while overlooking the small fortune staring you in the
face? Many of us have hidden assets that we could easily
build a profitable business from if we just slowed down
enough to notice them.

Here are some often overlooked assets you may have:

1) Your Internet marketing skills applied in other
markets. If you're a typical "Internet marketer," you
probably know more about marketing than 90% of all
webmasters out there. You could very easily dominate
a niche market currently inhabited by less savvy
marketers.

Go dominate a market other than Internet marketing.

Go teach hungry webmasters in another niche.

2) A product with a proven market that now sits dormant.
The Internet marketing crowd seems to always be looking
for the latest and greatest ebook that going to "reveal
all," BUT, there are those who've not seen the older,
already proven sellers. Let me give you two quick examples.

John Evans wrote an ebook called success Alert that I
had the pleasure of helping to introduce to the market
last year. With one joint venture that I brokered, we
sold nearly $60,000 worth of a $47 ebook in the first
30 days. That ebook contains lots of information that
is still needed by millions who've never heard of it. I
still sell copies regularly. The affiliate program for
that proven seller is open to anyone.

When we first released the ebook, it was the typical
"Internet marketing release." Dozens of top Internet
marketers sent special mailings to their list after
they had reviewed the ebook. I had given some of them
advanced copies to read and review. After the initial
push, many of these marketers went on to promote the
next latest product the following week. That was a
mistake because most of the ideal customers for that
ebook have never even heard of it. That was a mistake
because the site had a steady and very IMPRESSIVE
conversion rate of around 5%! VERY few sites have a
conversion rate anywhere near that high.

Instead of trying to market products that no one wants,
why not go to http://Success-Alert.com and sign up as
an affiliate now. Get a copy of the ebook so that you
really know what you're recommending to your readers
first.

John Reese's Traffic Secrets Course was the same way.
With a big push, he sold $1 million worth of this
course in a single day. Then, most of his affiliates
went off to promote some new "flavor of the day." I
quietly continued to promote the course in innovative
ways, and to entirely new audiences who had not heard
of it. I do make sales regularly. It's a $997 course
that offers a hefty commission and is a proven seller.
Perhaps you should review a copy, and apply to become
an affiliate. John has a closed affiliate program that
you do have to apply to. You can apply at:

As a aside, the sales letter on that webpage is now being
"modeled" by thousands of Internet marketers. That makes
perfect sense because it's a salesletter with documented
results!

Those are just two quick examples. I could give you
dozens more :-) It's absolutely foolish to stop promoting
something that has a proven market and a very high-converting
website. That's like KNOWING that you have a river of diamonds
in your backyard and going off to search for diamonds elsewhere.

3) Some of the reprint rights packages that you're "sitting
on." Most of the Internet marketers that I know have reprint
and resale rights to dozens of quality products. They
ignore these valuable reprint rights in search of some new
set of reprint rights containing that magic bullet. "Stop
the Insanity!" Look at all of the reprint rights that you
already have, and use your marketing skills to profit from
them. You can do this by:

- Repackaging them in new combinations and then promoting
them using a fresh sales letter.

- Breaking out individual items within these packages and
offering them to markets who are actually looking for those
items. Often when you get these large packages, the sales
letter just glosses over the description of some of the
real "gems." Find those gems and hi-light them. Examples of
these gems could include ebooks on the basics such as
HTML, FTP'ing, and creating pop-ups. There are people who
don't know how to do these things.

- Repackaging them in different formats. Take the relevant
information contained in some of these ebooks and turn it
into audio, or perhaps produce a Camtasia video teaching the
same information. An ebook repackaged in this new format
would have a MUCH higher perceived value and would take
very little time to do. Depending upon how you present the
revised/reformatted information, you may need permission
from the original author.

As I've already emphasized, it's critical that you get over
searching for the "latest and greatest." Instead, market
products with a system already in place that's proven to
convert!

If you are looking for new markets, seek a market that you
can dominate... not markets already dominated by "black
belt marketing masters!" Look for niche markets where people
are already spending lots of money. If you're at a loss for
where these markets are, use my top-secret market research
tool that I call the W.I.F.E. system.

Watch what items your spouse, and his or her friends, are
buying over the Internet. Investigate these. Watch new items
your spouse or the media is raving over as the latest trend in
fashion, decorating, etc. Investigate these. You may be
pleasantly surprised to discover that not that many websites are
serving a very hot market. You might be surprise to discover
that many marketers in those niches don't have a good grasp of
the marketing concept that you do, so you can very quickly
dominate one of those markets.

Those niche markets don't have to be glamorous. I market items
as "boring" as printer cartridges and magazines. There are
affiliate program managers who will provide you with data feeds
of hundreds, thousands, even over 1 million product that you can
plug into a niche website. That's how I offer over 1200 magazines
from several niche sites. I use a tool called the Secret Money
Generator to integrate these data feeds into my sites and build
tens of thousands of very "search engine friendly" webpages. If
you're not familiar with Secret Money Generator, check it out
at: http://www.profitautomation.com/app/adtrack.asp?AdID=124400

Another "boring" product that could easily pay for the new
house and boat that I plan on getting later this year is
greeting cards. Everybody is already sending them out. I make
it very easy for customers to browse my online catalog of over
2500 cards, personalize them and then have a print on demand
company mail them... all for less than they'd pay at an
offline card shop. It's a multi-billion dollar industry
dominated by two major greeting card companies using a
worn-out marketing model. You can check that system out at:
http://www.profitautomation.com/app/adtrack.asp?AdID=124402
Some parts of this system require a number to access (use
2663).

Nutritional supplements are another hot niche. Baby boomers
such as myself are getting older and spending a fortune on
feeling and looking good. The health care industry is a
multi-trillion dollar industry for this very reason. Offer
your niche markets these products using proven systems
and you'll profit handsomely from something people are
already looking for. You can see a very innovative
PROVEN system, that harnesses the power, and automation,
of the Internet to do this at:
http://www.profitautomation.com/app/adtrack.asp?AdID=124403

As you can see, we Internet marketers often make this harder
than it has to be. We also often focus on too small a market,
while overlooking that river of diamonds flowing through our
lives.

I mentioned my secret W.I.F.E. research tool. A second secret
research tool that I use is the K.I.D.S. system. Your children
and other young people have an amazing amount of disposable
income, and they don't hesitate to spend it. The amount my
daughter is willing to "blow" on a designer t-shirt or other
name-brand items is mind-boggling! Many of these companies
have affiliate programs, and many do offer their entire
product line as a data feed that you can just integrate into
your site using a tool such as Secret Money Generator that I
mentioned earlier.

You don't have to be one of those Internet marketers banging
his head against the proverbial wall - unless you just enjoy the
pain. I've just shown you how easy it is to market products
and services that people are already looking for and happily
paying for. All you have to do wave at them, using the Internet
marketing skills that you already have, and they will purchase
from you. It literally IS that easy.
