Do you want to know the real trick to Internet Marketing?
Now we are all out there promoting our programs, and advertising our sites and products, and whatever else we do, but the big boys make it because they think outside of the box.
I tell you what, do not introduce something that has already been brought to the table, bring out something "NEW" that no one has had. You can make a "killin" doing what very few people are doing. I am specifically talking about "niche" products. Find something in demand, but very low marketing for. How do you do that? First off you need something that everyone has a problem with-Let me give you an example--Chewing Tobacco!!
Chewing tobacco is a huge and harmful problem to a lot of people. Why marketing products on how to quit just seems like the ethical thing to do, the marketing of actual chewing tobacco products is relatively low. How low is it? Well, let me just show you. Here's my chewing tobacco blog:

Nothing fancy right? Look at my first post when I started this blog. April 19th 2006!!! Ok now go look at MSN search engine and type in chewing tobacco. Look at that baby--#2 for my keyword--Not very many pages to compete with. Now you can say that might be relatively easy because of the low competing sites, but if you pull your head out of your ass, LOL you can see that I am now dominating this "niche" after 7 days of work. 7 freaking days people.
It can be done everyone. If you are using search engines or not it can be done. Find that little something and promote the hell out of it.
By the way--All I did to that blog was on-page optimization, claimed it in Technorati, and wrote my content. Nothing else but bloggging and pinging. No link swapping--CUZ that is BS in my book. The last 2 days I have made a little of $141.00 from affiliate comission and ADSENSE. And it is only going to go up!! Cuz I took the time to find a little something that was not highly sought after by other marketers. Brainstorm a little bit everyone, cuz if you are only promoting internet marketing products through search engine traffic, you are dealing with about 100 million other sites. If you are not using search engines, then you still can succeed, just incorporate a little something extra in there.
