Comments on: The Importance of Having Your Own Product to Sell http://www.problogger.net/archives/2009/12/08/the-importance-of-having-your-own-product-to-sell/ Blog Tips to Help You Make Money Blogging - ProBlogger Fri, 10 Feb 2012 17:04:37 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Thomas O http://www.problogger.net/archives/2009/12/08/the-importance-of-having-your-own-product-to-sell/comment-page-3/#comment-4819062 Thomas O Mon, 01 Mar 2010 11:38:56 +0000 http://www.problogger.net/?p=9373#comment-4819062 This is a great post at a great time. While offering a product isn't the 'one shot, one kill' road to legitimacy and success that many here are seeming to believe, it does show a level of seriousness and professionalism that as part of an overall presentation can work in your favor. Reading this strengthened my belief that the final section of my front page would be devoted to the products I already have for sale. Thanks! Thomas @ MMA.BS This is a great post at a great time.

I too benefited from this information that you shared, thank you.

The problem I think is that when visitors hover their mouse into your name and see that url directing to a blogger profile in their status bar, its more likely that they won’t click it.

I've had a consulting business for a few years and saw that I always trade time for money. Even when increasing hourly fees you still have an income cap. With product sales you don't have the income cap and don't have time issues either. Once the system and the support is taken care of, you, the entrepreneur can start other projects.

As an adjunct to this mantra, its also prudent to forget trying to sell what you're passionate about vs. what the market is asking for or better still, demanding in large volumes. I've been tracking the stats and emerging trends on how and why video marketing is critical to online success and how even the average guy can compete in a competitive niche w/out having to fork up major dollars in the process. This is one of the reasons why I am focusing on <strong><a href="http://bit.ly/TheVideoBoss" rel="nofollow">Video Marketing</a></strong> as a main staple in my online marketing efforts.

Your own niche product/blog is going to produce more revenue than a copy cat or advertising someone else's products. Great article.

It gives more of an opportunity for success for the seller. Plus it shows that the seller is serious, focused and enjoying what he or she is doing. I know when I go in to a coffee shop for a simple cup of coffee if the cashier is pleasant to me that is value added service and I'll go back. If she is rude, I will hesitate. Or if I visit a website that is difficult to navigate through I won't go back. Adding products, services and information does draw people to your business.

It's easier than it used to be and here's why. Get yourself a Mind Mapping software tool and lay out a process, a methodology or something that seems complex, that when you model it and detail the 1-2-3-X steps, you clear up the confusion.
