How To Use Amazon.com To Guarantee That Your Book Or DVD Will Sell Online Before You Create It

Listen to this.

I have successfully sold my own products on Ebay using a simple format.

Now I'm going to let you on to a little bitty secret that I use to guarantee a book/video/ebook will sell before I create it.

Here is what I do.

I go to Amazon.com and search under these categories.....

Learn How To.... Learn To...... How To Make A....... 100 ways to Create A.....

And then I looked at all the hundreds of books/DVDs under those guidelines...... I would then will buy 3 of those books ( retail price) on one subject of the same title.

I would sell those books as if they were my own on Ebay

I would write a sales page, provide the pictures and then list the prodcu on Ebay

It would not matter that I would not make a cent over what I paid for because my entire goal was to see..if the information would sell on Ebay.........

If I bought the books for $20.00 each and all three sold for 19.95 per book it was still a HUGE SUCCESS and I knew I had a money maker in my hands

So then I went to the library, read other books, read the internet and then created my own version of the same thing.......

Let me give you a REAL example on how I did this last year

I went to Amazon.com and did research on and how to subjects and found a video on how to get your child into TV Commercials ...

then bought 4 videos on the subject from Amazon.....they were great videos. I tested them on Ebay by making a sales page describing the video and then see..if they sold....

I sold the videos as though I made them....

I sold all 4 of the videos for 19.95 per video..

Now of course I didnt make a cent because I bought the videos from Amazon at the same price......but again that was NOT my goal.....I just wanted to see if they sold first...and they did

So then..

I did my own research, interviews and and created a product called How To Get Your Child On TV..( It took me one weekend to do this)and sold it as a ebook..on Ebay for $9.95 and sold 23 copies the very first time......which brought in about $250.00 for that week..and about 26 copies the second week .and about $1,000( in profit and I deducted the 40.00 in fees) for the month......I didnt even have to ship anything....it was electronic.....so it was all profit

So...if you want to test the waters before you create a product....research Amazon, buy a product.....that you think might be interesting.....sell it on Ebay..

If it sells, then you know that you have a money maker before you write a single word.

You just have to go and create your own version...
