Product Sellers Forum?

guys - honestly no flames intended. but has everyone forgotten that all obstacles mentioned in this thread [trust, quality, personality, gains, opportunity] are solved in a Single instance if you only met eachother in a real life setting, even just once :) !?

this being an internet forum by nature, i know it'd be difficult. the US is also a very large nation. some people might not even be from the US. just writing down what i know from real life. these societies do work, but tbh they work -and have always worked- best in physical form. take it how you want~~

Not really sure what you're getting at, but there seems to be growing interest for people to start creating and selling their own products as an alternative to CPA affiliate marketing. Enough to warrant a different section on WF so that we aren't talking about merchant accounts and fulfillment in the 'Affiliate Marketing' section.

There are less trust issues when it comes to discussing products, because of the higher barrier of entry.

And for some of us, meeting in person isn't so convenient, I'll be flying into Santa Cruz Bolivia tomorrow if any affiliates want to chat e-commerce :)
 


Anybody interested in a meeting up at Adtech ?

I'm on the bumpy road of becoming an advertiser for the first time -- would love to exchange ideas over a few beers.

PM if interested.
 
Bumpin this back up for a eta on the sellers forum.

Also I am going to have a paid App in the app store pretty soon, anyone have any recommendations on advertising for it? Do in app ads work to drive traffic to other apps?
 
I'd definitely be interested in swapping some ideas/war stories/whatever with people interested in product creation (info & tangible) and distribution.

I'm getting to where I'm outgrowing the limitations of Clickbank and into more lucrative waters and from reading through these posts, some of you guys have already dipped into some stuff I'm about to walk into and I've done some things other guys are asking about.

Would be nice if this came to fruition.
 
I'd be down to be in the group/forum also.

AM isn't in my blood.

Product Creation, List Building. FTW
 
count me in, too.
However, I have to admit that I'm still at the beginning of creating my own products, as well as building my lists. But I realize the discrepancy in value and profits of being one of thousand affiliates pushing traffic to advertiser x, instead of being that advertiser, paying the affiliates their share of profits and banking hard on the backend longterm.

I agree with you stringer, becoming an advertiser has been challenging. I am also in for the group/forum to discuss.
 
Count me in on any forum.

We are adding to our traditional white hat advertising sites with reasonable traffic to creating information products for those markets.

The margins make the sites worth keeping going. The traditional advertising/affiliate marketing model is not paying the bills like it used to.
 
Count me in for any forum.

The traditional advertising/affiliate marketing revenue stream for our White Hat sites are just not earning to their potential so we are creating informational products to generate the margins we need. Taking these products to other markets is the next challenge.

Have invested a great deal in studying the processes but would love a group to bang ideas and best practices off of.
 
What about a skype chat? A friend of mine runs the SEO chat, figured we could make one for this as well. I could put it together if people are interested.

While an ebook on farmville might be selling good now, the problem with ebooks like this (and most ebooks in general) is that it's not an evergreen product. Yeah you can make good money but you have to hustle constantly and come out with new products on a regular basis in order to keep the money coming in.

Of course you can outsource this kind of thing a lot of times (find a long-time farmville player, pay them $500 to "interview" them, and pay someone else another $500 or so to turn it into an ebook). But that's still not a real business. The product has a short life cycle and most likely all your ebooks are going to be on different topics so you are starting from scratch with each project. And that's the most tedious part - actually developing the product/offer.

There's nothing wrong with going for a quick buck, but even better would be to develop some kind of long-term sustainable business rather than just hustling from one "project" to the next. It's no biggie when you're young and snorting adderall every day, but as you get older the constant hustle gets old too ...

Well the main guy who is banking big on this owns another BIG selling Mafia Wars guide, which he had first, and I think another couple of info products too.

But rather than just going back to the grind when one product expires (after hes made several $100k at least :)) he has a much easier entry to a new product. If he creates something similar - a guide to the next game he has all his affiliates who setup mini sites and sent him traffic for the last game guide and can easy rinse and repeat and setup stuff for the new one - but as an extension from that he will have a list of a few hundered good affiliates and 1000s more general affiliate email addresses, and all he has to to is send an email to them saying "Hi guys, I have a brand new product out, it is going to be better than the last one, here are some early conversion stats..... you know I take this seriously, you know you will get paid, this is going to work, jump on board now." and he gains an instant following to his next product rather than starting from scratch again, not to mention the high profile he will have to do big JVs with other big marketers etc.

Oh, and I am an info product vendor on clickbank and definitely interested to network with others who are too, bounce ideas around, share knowledge etc..
 
Product seller forum would be great.... as long as it is private and nothing is indexed by search engines
 
i would be down for any sort of product creation/selling forum but would prefer if we kept like serious ecommerce sperate from clickbank shit in the forum. im not trying to hate on anyones business, i know alot of people have made decent money with clickbank, heck i even had my own offers on there back in the day. It just doesnt have the volume though that you can easily acheive with ecommerce.

dsiomtw: it looks like there are a bunch of us interested in an IRC chatroom. Do you want to set one up and lets see how it goes for a week or two while the product selling forum is rolled out?
 
I would be down for a sub forum
i have a number of specific niche related products in the pipeline and also a JV with a iphone App that has launched and is in a big niche but needs some marketing direction/help/ideas.
