That Doesn't Sell

1. Sell the reprint/reproduction rights to the product.
You could make money selling other people the rights
to reproduce and sell the product. People are always
looking for new products to sell.


2. Giveaway the product for free from your web site.
Just because it won't sell doesn't mean people won't
visit your web site to get it for free. They may see
another product you sell and buy that one.


3. Try auctioning off the product at an online auction.
You may make part of your investment back. If you're
lucky, you may even make a profit because people
sometimes get into bidding wars and will bid a higher
price than the product is worth.


4. Use the product as a free bonus for another product
you sell. This will increase the perceived value of the
product you're selling. People will feel they're receiving
more for less.


5. Contact businesses with the same target market and
see if they would be interested in using your product as
a free bonus for their product. You could place your ad
on the product and get free advertising.


6. Sell your product to businesses at wholesale cost as
a promotional product. Businesses are always looking
for products they can giveaway to their customers with
their advertising on the product. You could make part
of your investment back.


7. Barter your product to other businesses for things
you need for your own business. You could trade for
their products or services. This will save you money
and help make up for your profit loss.


8. You could create an online contest so people could
win your product. This will attract traffic to your web
site. You also could get free advertising by listing it on
online contest directories.


9. If you decide to giveaway the product for free, allow
other people to giveaway the product for free. Place
your web site ad on the product. This will spread your
advertising and attract even more people to your site.


10. Ask businesses with the same target audience if
they would be interested in combining your product
with their product. You could then sell them together
as a package deal and split the profits. You may have
better results selling your product this way.

Get the word out about your product and brand
it. This increases the perceived value because people
believe brand name products are better quality. If
you want to quickly brand your product, team up
with an already branded business and use their name.
You could just give them a percentage of your profits.


Offer a free on-site repair service for products you
sell. This is convenient for people because they won't
have to send it away for repairs and they won't have
to be without the product for a long period of time.
If they have to send the product to you to get
repaired, offer them free shipping.


Make it easy for your customers to contact you.
Offer as many contact methods as possible. Allow
customers to contact you by e-mail. Hyperlink your
e-mail address so customers won't have to type it.
Offer toll free numbers for phone and fax contacts.
Give them your home phone and cell number too.


Make sure employees know and use your
customer service policy. Give your employees
bonuses or incentives to practice excellent customer
service. Tell employees to be flexible with each
individual customer; each one has different concerns,
needs and wants. Give them a “policy pamphlet” to
keep at their work space which will remind them.



Give away your products or expertise to Internet
business newbies. Just ask them in return to place
your link on their web site. Those newbies are the
future of online business. They could become your
friend, ally or strategic business partner down the
road.



Make your web site more useful. Sell ad space,
generate hot leads, answer visitors’ questions, offer
free content, be news friendly, etc. There are so
many things you can do to make your web site more
appealing and profitable. It's a good idea to regularly
surf the web and study other web sites for ideas.


Charge people a cheap price to get a sample of
your product. If they like it, they can pay full price
to get the full version. Yes, you could offer a free
sample too. When you charge for a sample, it gives
your product more perceived value and you end up
making a little money at the same time.


Start publishing an extra issue of your e-zine every
week. You could charge a recurring monthly
subscription for the free subscribers who want to
view the extra issue(s) each week. You could also
include no ads in the extra issue because you’re
charging a subscription fee.


Use a "P.S." at the end of your ad copy. This
is where you either want to repeat a strong benefit
or use a strong close, like a free bonus. For example,
"P.S. You can get (product), worth over ($), for the
low price of ($)!" Another example, "P.S. I can not
guarantee the (No.) bonuses will be here tomorrow!"


Give people a free online utility. When you offer
a utility that can solve a person's problem, people
will definitely visit your web site. You could also
allow other people to give it away as long as your
ad is included in it. This would make a very powerful
viral marketing tool.
