Product Types and Packages

Here's another tip from NAMS, this time about the four types of products you can sell online and the different ways you can package them.

Four Product Types:
  1. Consumables – such as memberships or regular calls. Things that people can repurchase time and time again.                                                                                 
  2. Collectibles – e.g. collection of computer guides. Buyers will often buy similar products or services to add to their collections.                                                                                                         
  3. Toll Booth - necessary training, tools or information needed for what your customer wants to do.           
  4. Back end - add-ons of higher priced products.
  • Have different packages with various levels of quality. Make the highest quality package so beneficial in comparison that people choose it most of the time. Start by listing all of the possible things that could be included in a package. This would be your highest priced package. Then start deducting items to form the lower priced packages. I found this was much easier than starting with the lowest priced package and its contents and then trying to figure out how much to add for each of the higher priced packages.
  • To make money, you have to give people the opportunity to buy from you. Don’t give it all away or bother people trying to push sales. As we know, people love to shop, but they hate to be sold to.
More tips to come. I hope you are getting as much benefit from them as I have been.

Why An Internet Business Is Best For Me

I'm presenting a full day workshop at the local community centre in a few days. My topic - Start an Internet Home Business For Under $100. With more than a dozen ways to make money on the Internet, this will be a brief introduction of all the possibilities that exist online. There is no way I can cover too much in depth - but I hope to inspire people to try. Who am I to be telling anyone anything? Well, in the past few years I have learned more than I realize. I created a mindmap with six main topic areas - finding a niche, what you need to get started, monetizing, places to sell, getting traffic, and other possible options such as video and audio. Mindmapping was an easy way for me to see all the different things I could talk about. The hardest part is narrowing it down to what can be consumed in one day without causing information overload. In the past, when I've presented workshops on topics like eBay, the only negative comments I've ever had are always about too muc...

Opt-in Forms

I spent today creating opt-in forms for each of my blogs. Mind you, other than this one on blogger, which is so easy to install, I have no idea what to do next. My other blogs are in Wordpress and have to be copied into the HTML code. For a non-techie like me, that is a big deal. Update: With the newer versions of Wordpress and the use of widgets with most themes, adding an opt-in form is now as easy as on a Blogger blog. I went to Aweber and created my form, copied the code that's produced and pasted it into my HTML widget. And I even sound like a techie, don't I? Until next time, Carol

Youtube Videos - Are You Using Them?

Creating more Youtube videos is on my to-do list for this spring. But I think I need to take a lesson from my granddaughter's future husband and learn to use humor much more than I do. Here is a recent video he created to give you an idea of what I mean. Don't miss the surprise ending. Until next time, Carol
