What is the best product to sell and make money?

The title of this post is a usual question when you explore the business world, well the answer is very easy, the best product to make money is yourself. You should start selling to yourself before trying to make money with anything.

When you go to a store what products you chose? … the products that you need and among them the products that look better or maybe has more gadgets.

If you think that you are a product … will you buy to yourself?

You are always “selling” you, as a husband or wife, as a father or mother, as employee or boss. As any product of a store, you should look the best way that you can, you have to project an image of success.

Projecting an image of success is a powerful tool that gives you authority. If you see someone with a BMW or Mercedes and another who did not even have a car and both give you a tip for making money, which of them would believe more?

Then the first business idea you have to develop and sell is yourself, apply all rules of marketing to yourself.

Many of us have still CDs which not upload to our iPods or iPhone or any device that we used for play our favorite music.

Happen also that our iPhone is a total mess where is impossible to find our play lists.

Well, if you like the music, here there is a field to develop a business idea that you can do from home with very little investment as is the case of  HungryPod, its founder Catherine Keane (23) now earns thousands of dollars in it.

Their business is basically to convert music CDs to format for iPods or other MP3 music player or other digital medium.Obviously she adds value to their services, sorting music and even give recommendations on which to listen.

Her market is people without time but with a lot of money for sped in this kind of services.

“For those who lack the time or the know-how to transfer their record collections to their iPods, an entrepreneur has created a service that will do the trick. The service, HungryPod (hungrypod.com), converts CD’s to MP3 format and loads them into an iPod or any other digital music player.”

A business idea for make money online, buy and sell domains and websites

A domain name is the name of any website, for example the domain of our website is “www.ElasticZone.com“.

The domains “dot COM” (.Com) are the most popular domains (other are “.Org”, “.Net”). The average price of this kind of domains is U.S.$ 10 per year, but you know that will you be able to resell that domains and even most important that maybe someone could pay you a million dollars for your domain?

Yes, maybe you become millionaire buying and selling domains, that is the case of the domain ”Candy.com” that was sold for 2 million dollars as reported the newspaper Christian Science Monitor.

Why does it cost so much if you only should pay U.S$10 dollars per year?

Simply, because the name is short and generates traffic of visits to the website itself. As I have said before, on the Internet to more traffic of visitors you have more opportunities to make money online (read How to Make Money Online with a Blog).

Today, It is not easy to find a domain as Candy.com but maybe you can find an interesting domain that still is free. You can explore to buy one in several sites as Alocate, you should invest only $ 10 per year but who knows, perhaps you will sell your domain for millions of dollars in some years more.

How a small business earn a lot of money with its website, a model business to follow

The New York Times usually publish several articles about cases of successful businesses.

In this case NYT made an interesting report about how an small business is making a lot of money with its website named AskPaty.

AskPaty is a website that give advice about cars, automotive advice, advice on car buying, maintenance and other related automotive topics. However, the difference with other similar websites is that AskPaty is thinking for women.

Who had this business idea was obviously a woman who didn’t find information about cars with that point of view.

As the case of AskPaty the NYT reported other cases of small business that launch successful websites where their founders are finding new business, new sells and new sources of make money online.

The internet technology is inexpensive and is easy to learn the tools for build a social media. You can built for yourself your ecommerce business with several scrips, many of them free.

If you are thinking to start your own business maybe you should start making your own website or blog por make money by internet and explore the opportunities that your business idea could have.

If you want to make money online with a blog you will find that there are several alternatives of software to start one (I recommend you to read How to Make Money Online with a Blog).

Twitter as a marketing tool for make money and new business opportunities

Twitter is the new revolution to make business don´t matter if you have a big or a small business. If you are in business and not have your own Twitter maybe you are losing money.

The New York Times reported for example some successful cases where twitter is used as a marketing tool for doing business and make money:

“SAN FRANCISCO — Three weeks after Curtis Kimball opened his crème brûlée cart in San Francisco, he noticed a stranger among the friends in line for his desserts. How had the man discovered the cart? He had read about it on Twitter.

For Mr. Kimball, who conceded that he “hadn’t really understood the purpose of Twitter,” the beauty of digital word-of-mouth marketing was immediately clear. He signed up for an account and has more than 5,400 followers who wait for him to post the current location of his itinerant cart and list the flavors of the day, like lavender and orange creamsicle.”

The great advantage of Twitter is that it costs absolutely nothing and their expansion and market penetration is growing very rapidly.

When I start my Twitter account I was a little bit disappointing but when I discovered applications such as TweeDeck I understood the huge potential of Twitter. These tools make Twitter a great chat with text messages where I can chat with hundreds or thousands of people at once depending on how many people follow me.

I invite you to use Twitter by clicking here on this link. Visit also TweetDeck in this link.
