A second key to online success is to work the small, profitable niche’s.

I’ll give you an example.

I wanted to buy a DVD player. Yes, I’d held out long enough and was ready to embrace the “new” technology!

BUT, I didn’t want another box under my TV. So I went looking for a DVD/VCR combo.

I found one I liked and took it home from the store.

I’m a happy bunny. The Lord Of The Rings is just spectacular!

OK, back to the niche.

If you search Google for “home business” (without typing the quotes) you get 6.8 Million results.

If you search Google for “DVD VCR combo” (without typing the quotes) you get 61,000 results.

Now, if you earn 2% per sale on a $400 DVD/VCR combo from your local electrical retailers website, that’s $8 per sale.

And there’s very little competition.

Work the Niche

I recommend Mini Site Profits by Phil Wiley for learning about cashing in on mini sites…

I was reading Web Gold by Terry Dean last week and he mentioned how residual income is a key to success for many people.

It’s easy to see how Terry’s right. If you have a job, you have to keep working to earn money.

If you have a business, you have to keep selling to earn money.

But, if you sell a product through recurring billing, or if you sell products as an affiliate and earn residual income, you can reach a level of success which will enable you to stop working!

For as long as the person buys the product, you take a slice of the revenue.

Even if you sold to them five years ago.

Of course, if you’re an affiliate, you have the same risks that the merchant may go broke.

And if you’re the merchant, you still have to provide the service which the customers are paying monthly for, and provide customer support.

But the fact is that building a residual sales income will provide greater stability and revenue than making continuous sales.

Try to build a residual income stream into your business, and let me know how you get on

By the way, I’ve got tons of great info from Terry’s site…

Some people doubt that commission stealing is a problem.

It is.

Clickbank has taken steps to plug the leaks in their system according to Allan Gardyne’s latest newsletter.

If you’re an affiliate and not subscribed to Allan’s newsletter, you’re missing the best newsletter in the field…it’s free… http://www.AssociatePrograms.com/

I’m glad ClickBank is moving in the right direction because I had a commission deliberately stolen from right under my nose!

How do I know?

Easy.

I’m the ONLY affiliate for a product I endorsed recently.

But, when I sent my announcement, a sale appeared from a SECOND affiliate username.

The person had changed my affiliate link to their own so that they could pocket the commission I was due.

That’s bad karma folks.

Even if stealing commissions was the easiest thing in the world to do, it still doesn’t make it right.
