Selling E-goods Is
E-business At Its Best

Hard Goods? E-goods?

We use the term "e-goods" to refer to electronic products. You cannot touch them since they are purely digital. They are shipped by e-mail or direct download from a Web site.

On the other hand, we use the term "hard goods" to mean anything that can be touched. These are physical products that cannot be transmitted "via the Net" but rather are shipped by mail or courier. For example, an oil painting.

This site does not discuss hard goods.

If you can digitize it, you can sell it.

Selling...

... takes the Internet beyond a mere communications medium.

When you sell e-goods, the Net becomes a frictionless, automated distribution channel.

No products to handle. No boxes to pack. No courier to ship. Just electrons, speeding through the Net to your customer, while dollars speed in the opposite direction to you.

This Is "E-Business At Its Most E-fficient."

However, don't jump to create your e-product and its sales site too quickly. This is what most e-goods vendors do, which is why the vast majority fail. They start wrong... so failure is pre-determined.

This site shows you how to do it better than just "right" or "properly." It shows you how to do it perfectly.

The key to success is to first master a niche. The Web, when properly used, is the ultimate niche marketing-and-selling vehicle. It is the ideal situation for those who want to sell digital products to carefully targeted markets.

To succeed online, you must build your own niche/theme-focused business... and that means building your own targeted traffic... your own clientele, from the ground up.

What's the solution? A proven process...

And an all-in-one, site building-hosting-and-marketing system to execute the process. With Site Build It! ("SBI!") you can focus on your business rather than struggling with the technical aspects of building a Web site (HTML, FTP, CGI, SEO, etc.).

I have now created and published 10 ebooks/books. But it's true that when I first came online I didn't even have a single idea for a book or ebook.

I did understand from early on however, that it was very important to create a theme-based content-rich Website that would attract a lot of free or low-cost targeted traffic from the search engines. I also discovered that SBI! was the best way to create and maintain such a site.

However, it took me a while, and lots of trial-and-error experimentation, to figure out exactly how to convert that targeted SBI! traffic into a meaningful income in my "writing help" niche. Eventually I discovered that the best model in my particular niche was to create and sell info-products in the form of downloadable ebooks.

Ebooks are easy to create because you are writing about what you already know (i.e. your niche theme), and most importantly, once you've created a digital info-product you can easily set it up to sell on automatic pilot at ClickBank; over, and over, and over again.

It's a great way to earn a living!

The sale of e-goods is a natural extension of the information-providing nature of your Theme-Based Content Site. The right e-products can grow a substantial, profitable online business, with many options for adding other revenue sources as you grow.

Selling E-goods Online Is A Dream Come True

Can there be a better business in the world?...

  1. Nothing to "manufacture."
  2. Nothing to pick, pack, and address.
  3. Nothing to ship.
  4. Nothing falls off the back of the truck.
  5. Totally automated. Sales occur overnight while you sleep. (Just plug-n-play best-of-breed solutions into your SBI! site and you're ready to accept payment and ship product.)
  6. When you make sales, inventory does not decrease.

Simply create great electronic products, get paid by credit card in real-time, boosted by thousands of affiliates who refer traffic to you, and enjoy the impact you make on other people's lives, as well as your more than self-sufficient income.

My info product is a 176-page ebook titled "Ultimate Guide to Your Profitable Jewelry Booth". I'm selling it for $39 through ClickBank.

At 12:01 a.m. on my launch day, I made my sales page on my SBI! site live and sent out a brief announcement email to my subscribers. Although I didn't really expect anyone to read my email or buy my ebook right then in the middle of the night, I logged into ClickBank anyway just to check. Within 10 minutes I had made my first sale.

After that, I went to bed. When I got up a couple of hours later, I logged into ClickBank again - and saw that by then my ebook had earned over $1,300! I couldn't believe it. By the end of the first day, I had sold 123 copies - $4,979 worth of my first ebook. It's not quite a million-dollar day, but it sure felt like it to me!

In the first three weeks, I sold just under $12,000 worth of my first ebook - a little over 300 copies. My new goal is to top that result the next time I publish a jewelry business ebook, armed with what I learned this time around!

How Easy Is This? How "Do-able"?

Shaun and Rena are successfully selling their knowledge. And so is Michael Boyter, from Wasilla, Alaska, who runs another profitable SBI! site, familyhistoryproducts.com. He creates quality content about a theme that was originally an interest of his... genealogy and family autobiographies.

From the beginning, Mr. Boyter knew that he wanted to sell an e-book called Memorygrabber. But no one, of course, is looking for Michael Boyter or Memorygrabber on the Net.

Instead, they look for information or solutions about a wide variety of topics related to genealogy, writing your own autobiographies, family history, etc.

Building a theme-based content site delivers the information people seek. Actually, it OVERdelivers it. And SBI! showed Michael how to write it so that Search Engines like his content, too. Actually, it did more than "show" him. It provided all the tools he needed (including step-by-step online "guru-in-your-ear" help and built-in traffic-building modules such as Analyze It! and Value Exchange).

So... interested, motivated people find his site. Thousands of them. They are PREsold by the excellent content. And then they discover Memorygrabber.

Familyhistoryproducts.com also monetizes the high volumes of targeted traffic in other ways...

  1. Google AdSense
    Google AdSense ads contribute a healthy monthly stipend.

  2. Affiliate
    By referring visitors to non-competing merchants with affiliate programs, profits are boosted even more... affiliate commissions go straight to the bottom line.

  3. Joint ventures
    Mr. Boyter leverages his site's high traffic by selling related products created by others, merchants who are either offline or who are online but don't have the volumes of traffic that SBI! and familyhistoryproducts.com have built.

Consider, too, the case of Marney Makridakis...

Why Do SBI! Sites Thrive?   Process & Tools

Compare the SBI! proven process and execution of SBI! owners with the "standard approach" used by the 99% who fail (even though they may have great products and beautiful sites). Here is what the vast majority do...

  1. Create e-product.
  2. Create site to sell e-product.
  3. Add sales and fulfillment solution.
  4. Die due to lack of traffic.

Most small businesses fail because of poor process. They prepare to sell and collect money, before they have built content to deliver what their PRE-customers really want... information. The results, unfortunately, are inevitable.

If the process is so simple, why do so many people still fail? Well, those few who do understand this "content-from-the-ground-up" process usually lack the right collection of tools to remove the complexity and tedium of building a successful online business. The solution...

SBI! delivers both... the process, and all the tools necessary to execute it, integrated seamlessly.

Review the process that SBI! users follow. It's all about delivering the content that your target market seeks, PREselling them, and then (and only then) converting traffic into sales of your e-goods. Whatever you are selling (an e-book, or e-photo collection of Norwegian coastal fishing villages, or database products or software), build your own warm, targeted traffic first. Instead...

Almost everyone focuses on "collecting the money." That part is so flashy -- there are literally hundreds of plug-n-play, copy-and-paste e-services that make it easy to clear credit cards, fulfill orders automatically, etc. Copy-and-pasting an automated order-taking/fulfillment system into your site is the easiest part. Any site can do it.

But only SBI! owners thrive on the hard part...

Build High Volumes Of Targeted Visitors,
And Then PREsell Them Into Warm And Willing-To-Buy Customers

This is where most small businesses fail. No traffic.

This is where SBI! users succeed. Lots of traffic. Warm, PREsold, willing-to-buy visitors, who are about to become customers... lifetime customers who generate substantial profits. SBI! drives business.

62% of SBI! sites end up in the top 3% of ALL Web sites on the Net...

    of all sites (i.e., higher than 99% of all
