The Problem Of Product Selection In Internet Marketing

We all like to believe that we can make money out of nothing. Apparently one can do so on the Internet! Or so most of the Internet Marketing gurus would have you believe. And we really want to believe it, even though it does take effort to make things happen. This effort involves various aspects of Internet Marketing – building a site, developing content and getting traffic.

We would all like to believe that it IS easy to make money on the Internet. After all, who wouldn’t want to be able to make lots of cash with little effort? Unfortunately it takes a lot more than a little effort to make money. In theory it is simple – you merely have to place the right product in front of people who require a solution to a problem. If you do that, the money will just roll in.

Unfortunately any of the steps in the Internet Marketing process can present a challenge all on its own. Let’s take a hypothetical case where you do some research and find a good niche – lots of demand, little competition and some PPC adverts which indicate that there is money to be made in this niche – after all, other people are doing it, right?

Once you have identified a nice nich market you need to find a product to sell to this hungry crowd. But the problem is, you cannot find any! Or at least, you cannot find any that is worth selling or promoting as an affiliate. All the products out there look suspect – if you have been in the industry for a while you can identify a crappy product a mile away. Of course your option is to create an equally crappy product. Maybe you do that, but some of us balk at generating a quick rip-off of Wikipedia and some articles found in popular article directories.

Or there are a couple of big brand names that pop up all the time for this particular niche or need. And they do not offer a commission structure or an affiliate program. So basically there is no chance to make any money at all with THEIR products – they don’t need you in any case since they dominate the market already.

Basically the biggest problem of making money on the Internet is finding the right product to promote to the right group of people. Now isn’t that a true but trite statement!
