We all possess information that is unique and valuable and can be marketed on the internet as an information product. The internet allows us access to people who are searching for the exact information that you have to provide.

I am not over simplifying it either. I know that there is a certain amount of research involved before you dive in, but there is an eager body of consumers waiting for your information. You really don’t even have to spend a lot of time worrying about market factors. Start with something you really like and work out from there.

The amazing thing about the internet is that it brings the market to the vendor. With that simple statement in mind, I want you to choose a topic right now that you are comfortable discussing in a conversation. Preferably you would enjoy this topic and be somewhat knowledgeable about it, but neither is necessary. Maybe you are familiar with the intricacies of growing the most beautiful roses in the world, or you are comfortable putting together a how to guide of fixing and flipping homes.

We are going to use that information to start compiling your first E-book. Next, you will want to get signed up with an affiliate network so you can get paid for selling other people’s products. The one I recommend the most if clickbank.com. The guidelines for membership do change regularly so it may only take a few minutes or up to a few days depending on their latest requirements.

The next thing I would do is to take a look at the other products that are similar to your product offered on the affiliate network. It is best if there are similar products because that means that there is money in that niche.

It is actually almost a red flag to not find a significant amount of competing products in your prospective niche. If nobody else is making money doing it, you may not either.

Upon choosing your preferred topic, given it meets or exceed the previously mentioned criteria, you can now check to see if you can create a micro-niche with your product. For instance, maybe one competing product teaches how to do Pilates, and another teaches you how to do Yoga. Maybe you can aim your product to teach people how to relieve stress through stretching.

There is another useful way to determine your niche and that is to use E-bay to help you. All you do is look up e-books in your desired niche and see what they are selling for and if they are selling at all.

If you see a bunch of them then that is good. If not, again consider re-considering your niche topic. You can also use E-book website that have vast libraries of E-books. The same principles apply regarding market saturation and niche availability.
