Living in today’s time, the internet is where the money is at. You can take a simple idea like writing a how-to article and turn it into cash. People turn to the internet to figure out how to do just about anything and everything.
Think about the last time you wanted a recipe, or to figure out how to do something that you saw someone else do. Did you turn to the internet? Most people do a quick search and find what they are looking for. They can be really easy how-to articles, or they can be more advanced guides.
Sometimes people post videos on how to do things, and their videos can be invaluable to people that need the help. One day while cutting my bangs, it occurred to me that I might not be doing it the best way. I went to the computer, and searched “how to cut bangs.” After watching a few of the videos online, I became the pro at cutting my own bangs.
There is a huge market for how-to products because people will search for all kinds of information. Whether you wanted to learn how to change your oil in your car, or teach your girl scouts how to earn a badge, you will find the information online. People want to make sure that what they are doing is the correct way to do it, or even just the easiest way.
People can save money by turning to online how-to products rather than paying a live person to teach them or for someone to do it for them. For example, if you wanted to learn how to line dance, you could go to a studio and learn it, but why not just search online and see if someone has posted how to videos?. The ideas and options are endless.
Marketing how-to products on the internet is a very lucrative niche, and one that should be taken seriously. The internet has turned us all into sponges and researchers. We all love to turn to the internet to find exactly how to do all kinds of things. How to do just about anything and everything is at our fingertips and opened up a great opportunity for selling how to products.
Were you at a party where they had the most amazing artichoke and spinach dip and wished you had gotten the recipe? No problem, search the internet and see if you can find it. There are even sites that will charge you to get the recipe or how-to article. It’s still cheaper than buying the entire book of recipes, and a lot quicker to get the information. People will be happy to pay for a how to product instead of having to either order the book, or go out and get it.
There are several ways to market your how-to products. List your how-to articles on an auction site, or market them to the proper audience. For instance if you are selling a how-to product on parenting topics, you would want to join as many online forums as you can and work on building relationships with parents and then put your link in your signature.
Marketing ” How To” Products
Another way is to frequent blogs of your niche. Again if your how-to is on parenting you would want to comment on all the parenting blogs you can find and include a link to your site where they can buy your product. The how-to niche is a booming market on the internet today just waiting for you to take advantage of it.
