Default Re: Selling on the internet...

Not really. Anyone selling anything on the internet is an example of someone TRYING to make money on the internet. If they stick around for a while, we know thay are probably covering their costs, but we don't really know if they have quit their day job or even make more than $1000/month.

My point is that it seems that most of the people that ARE making significant money on the internet are selling info on "how to make money on the internet". How many of these buyers then SUCCESSFULLY go out and make money on the internet with non-moneymaking how-to products? Seems like not too many to me...

It seems to me that people still don't often seek out and PAY FOR information on the intenet, unless it is informtion telling them how to make more money.

I understand that is naturally going to be in demand, especially in this economy, but what does that mean for the prospective info seller who will not be selling a "how to make money" product?

Michael gave 2 good examples of people selling non-moneymaking info (although the tai chi guy's site looked pretty amateur to me). How successful are they? Who knows. But I bet they don't see the kind of demand moneymaking products do...

If anyone has other examples or case studies, please post them.

By the way, how well does the 'UFO Reports' sell?
