Just about everything has been sold on the Internet. From books to software to cars... even a piece of toast with the Virgin Mary burned into it.
But, the best items to sell on the Internet are light and easy to ship. The very best items don't need any shipping at all.
== What Kind Of Product Don't Need Shipping? ==
I'm talking about downloadable products. These are the products that can be set up to automatically send to your customers -- the minute they click that pay button.
Downloadable products let you run a 24/7 business -- a business that is open round the clock. While you're sleeping, while you're skiing in the Alps, while you're sunning on a beach in the Caribbean... your tireless online vending machine is selling your products. It's putting money in your bank account and you don't need to lift a finger.
== What Are The Best Downloadable Products To Sell? ==
Most downloadable products are information products -- these are the products that will give you the most profit. See, information is valuable. People are willing to pay good money for the right information.
Your customers will pay you for information that tells them "how to"-- how to bake the best chocolate chip cookies from a secret recipe handed down over generations, how to make money from home while padding about the house in a bathrobe and slippers, how to save money when buying a home, how to increase your child's reading skills. The list is endless. For every topic you can think of, there is a group of people hungry for information.
== Can't They Just Get The Information For Free From The Internet? ==
Yes, it's true. There are mountains of information readily available on the Internet. Anything you want to know can be found on the Internet and it usually doesn't cost a cent. However, try finding just the information you need... or making sense of the jumble you find.
Busy people are happy to pay you money, if you can present the information to them in a nice, orderly manner. Make the information easy to understand. Save them time. They will happily pull out their wallets, slap down their credit cards, and... voila! You have a sale!
== You Become An Information Broker ==
When you are an Internet marketer with downloadable information products, you are an information broker. You are getting the information from one place into the hands of those who want it.
It can be your information. It can be information you gather on the Internet, bundle into a neat and tidy package, and broker to the customer. Information marketing really is as easy as that!
And, the beauty of it is, once you've put the information together -- created an information product -- you really don't have to touch it again. It can just keep selling automatically for a long time to come, while you either put together another information product... or sip Pina Coladas in Acapulco.
