In the 1850s in California, during the great gold rush days, anything having to do with gold mining sold easily and rapidly. Without tools the miners were helpless. Not much could be done with hands alone. Shovels were at a premium. You could ask almost any price for mining tools because the demand was so great.

I am not suggesting price gouging, but the principle for successful niche marketing is the same today. If you go where the demand is greatest, the value of the product will be reflected in the amount of sales. Outside of gold and possibly a few other precious metals, value is never inherent in the products themselves. The value is relative to the need. A market can only be created when there is a need. The need may only be a perceived need, but it is a need nontheless.

Some niches are perennial successes, while others are fads like the pet rocks of many years ago. The important thing is to be at the right time and right place with the right product. Wow, how do we do that? Wasn’t that a brilliant conclusion? That one statement if applied properly could make you a millionaire! So, what are some of the key factors you should consider in picking your niche?

1. Keep up with what the key marketers are marketing. Imitation is the greatest form of flattery and if is working for the marketing greats, it might just work for you. I am on so many email lists of top marketers that I can’t keep up with all the offers. I even buy one occasionally. I am more interested in products they sell than the systems they promote. I learned early that many of the top marketers make more money off their systems than they do off of products that appeal to buyers outside of the entrepreneurs themselves. I am not knocking the success of the marketers, but merely pointing out that not all entrepreneurs can follow these top marketers lead and be as successful as they appear to be.
2. It is not necessary to sell a product that you personally like. This statement is contrary to what some teach. It is more important to have a product with a large demand from others regardless of whether it is a product that you yourself use or even like. If you are selling an informational product, it is likely to be on a topic that you like, but what others need is much more important than what you like.
3. Start small and think big. It is better to set up a series of websites that each produce a few dollars a day to start with than to spend considerable time and money making one website that you feel is going to make you thousands a week. Those sites do exist but they are not the norm.
4. Be persistent. This factor alone will lead to more success than all others combined. It is a small percentage of internet marketers that succeed in their first few attempts, but it is these few who get the most press. Don’t worry about how fast you grow and profit, but spend time perfecting the offers that are working. Time is in your favor.

There is no one answer to niche marketing. Any marketing, like life itself, is a continuous learning experience. Look for goldminers to sell shovels to.

[Guest Article By David Vernon]
Is it possible to use your thoughts to leverage cosmic forces to bring you online success. Or is that just a bunch of hyped up nonsense? Whatever your beliefs may be, you can still apply the principles of the law of attraction to help you make money online. At the very least you can use it to help you keep your head in the game and stay on track.

To quickly summarize the law of attraction for those that are unaware, it is a scientific quantum theory that states, like energy attracts like energy. With that understanding, if you are to apply it on a level of thought, the frequency you send out, or the thoughts you focus on regularly, is then attracted back to you like a magnet. If you always have a negative attitude, negative things will keep happening to you. The more negative things happen to you, the more negative your outlook becomes, the result is more negativity. The street goes both ways, the more positive things happen, the more positive you are, attracting more positivity into your life.

Let’s take a look at the law of attraction logically for the skeptics and the naysayers. If you have a positive attitude, you will have less fear, or be able to manage your fear better.

Fear can be crippling. If you are constantly worried about your online marketing efforts failing, you may become apprehensive about moving forward. If you fear the outcome of moving forward, you may not move forward at all. If you don’t move forward, I think it is safe to say that you will not make any money online.

Take a negative Internet marketer for example. With a negative attitude, an Internet marketer may fear failure. This may cause them to jump ship at the first sign of rocky waters and give up before they even gave themselves a chance to succeed.

Let’s think about the positive Internet marketer for a minute. If they have a positive attitude about their efforts, chances are that they will move forward very rapidly with no regard for failure. Even if they do encounter failure by staying positive they quickly move on to do something else that may succeed.

You need to exude positivity and confidence in order to succeed at making money online. If you can barrel through a few failed attempts you may be speeding towards an abundance of success that’s in store for you.

If you are not confident or feel negative about your online efforts, you may decide to quit at the first sign of failure. Quitting is definitely the easiest way to fail.

If you have a positive outlook once you see a little bit of success it may drive you to see more of those results. It’s like a domino or ripple effect. If you have made a little bit of internet money, you will believe that you can make more, and in turn be driven to do so. If you have made no internet money, you may believe that it is not possible, in turn driving your efforts into the pavement.

I can almost guarantee that any successful Internet marketer had thought at one point that they could do it. And once again any failed Internet marketer must have come to the thought that they cannot do it.

So you see even if you are skeptical about the Universe bringing you a pile of money just because you dreamed it up, you can still see how your thought process plays a direct role in your ability to make money online.

This can be applied to all areas of your life. If you want to experience positivity in your life, you really have to think that you can. If you are accustomed to thinking negatively it may be difficult to switch to positive thoughts. You may want to put post it notes around your workspace to remind yourself of your goals and what you set out to achieve. You may also want to tack up little uplifting messages that lift your spirits.

You will want to view yourself as if you already are a successful Internet marketer. Even if you are not, you can tell yourself that you are just getting started. That is not a lie. Even the richest online marketers with millions had to have a point where they hadn’t made a single dollar online.

Take some time out every day to envision what your life will be like once you have achieved the level of success you desire. If you want a nicer home imagine how you would arrange your furniture. If you want a nicer car, imagine what it would feel like to grip the steering wheel. Imagine having no limit on the amount of money you can spend and what that will feel like. Where would you shop? Where would you dine? Where would you vacation? These are just a few aspects you may decide to indulge in.

In order to make money online, you have to think that you can make money online. Whether the Universe will bring it to you through cosmic forces, or it is simply your attitude that drives your efforts. If you want to make money online you really do need to focus on the right thought process.

One of the most frequently used niches by beginning web infopreneurs is that of public domain works.  This includes all types of media that are no longer under copyright and have passed into the public domain.  That means that you, I, or anyone else can freely use them as if they were our own works.  It is not an easy niche to master but can be a very profitable one.

Clicking on this link will take you to an article on the subject that I recently published  at EzineArticles.Com.  I am reprinting it here under the product production category of this web site.    It is one of several articles on public domain works that I have planned and will publish in the near future.

Come back often.  I plan to offer some copies of public domain works free to my readers soon.

I am a recent Twitter convert. You can find me under the name “webinfopreneur“.  So I,  like you,  am learning to utilize this medium of communication to promote myself and my products.  At first I could not see how 140 characters of writing (the Tweet)  could communicate much of usefulness to anyone, especially to infopreneur marketers.

Well, I was wrong!  Even the largest corporations are now using Twitter on a regular basis.

As a recent convert to Twitter, I have had to learn a lot in a short time.  That’s generally the way it is anyway in internet marketing.  The market changes, you change with it.  Of course that means at the moment I still don’t have a lot of followers and am not following a lot ot Tweeters.  But I have started the process.   So, I have been regularly searching for ideas on how to better use Twitter.  In the last few days I have come across several useful tools that I would like to recommend.

Stephen and Alicia Pierce have put together an amazing work on free tips for Twitterers.  I have provided a FREE COPY for you. Click on this Link to get it at Scribd.Com.   I have already profited from it my utilizing several of the recommended sites.

Just tonight, I signed up for TweetLater.Com, one of the sites listed in the FREE Tips e-book.    I set my autoresponder up for an automatic response to new followers, and set up for automatically following those who follow me.  The FREE version is very helpful, and there is also a paid more advanced version.  The following tasks can be done very quickly and there are numerous others you can check out on the site.

Uploading and scheduling Tweets

Tracking Clicks

Automatically follow those who follow you

Automated responses to your new followers (you can vary the message automatically also)

Save and re-use drafts – and save hours of typing

Get YOUR 201 FREE TWITTER TOOLS (there is a full 104 pages) and see what YOU can find that will  immediately help you in setting up your Twitter site.   Even those of you who already consider yourselves  “Pros” on Twitter can gain a lot from the E-Book.   And, you can’t beat FREE.

Well, all of us have our days!  Some times we get nothing done, and sometimes we do a lot.  Today is one of those in-between days for me.  I am so anxious to get this site to the stage where it will be useful to more people that I found it hard today to slow down.

The result.  I posted pages on Product Production and Infopreneur Niches.  Not nearly what I would have loved to do, but those in the internet marketing business and even those aspiring to be be infopreneurs realize how variable our production can be from day to day.

Anyway, I hope you find  these pages useful. I will be adding more as soon as I can find (?) the time.  You know what I mean.   See you in the next posting.

Tonight I am adding a page under the “Resource” section entitled “How  Do You Protect Your Information Products?”  It is the first of a series of articles on different topics being made available to web infopreneurs.

Each of us works hard on writing and promoting our products and we need to do as much as possible to protect our  rights to them.  At the same time we wish to make them available to as many people as we can.  This article shows us some ways in which we can balance these two goals.

Feel free to comment, add suggestions, or just let your fellow entrepreneurs know how you protect your information products.

We are here!! This may seem a little pretentious, but it is not meant to.  The comment is a reflection of our belief in the Chinese proverb that says: ” The journey of a thousand miles must begin with the first step”.   Being here is our first step toward fulfilling our destiny, that of serving YOU.

The information revolution has created a whole new breed of information entrepreneurs  which has led to the coining of the new term, infopreneurs.  We see our niche as serving those infopreneurs who are at the forefront of this information revolution. We want this site to be a dynamic, growing resource for all infopreneurs. Being here is the initial step in our commitment to YOU, the infopreneur.

We value this opportunity to fulfill our purpose of “Serving the Information Revolution”.

We hope to make this site one to which you will continue to return.  We know we must produce! We also know that ultimately it is YOU who will determine what we offer and whether or not it is of value to you.  We will always be open to suggestions and constructive criticism.

Yes, we are here! Together we can combine the information revolution with the power of the internet, and significantly (and of course, profitably), expand the world knowledge base.

We will be expanding our offerings shortly.  Bookmark us.
