Idea from Vadym's Idea Box

[Vadym]

No, it's nothing new. After ZPN, I saw the power of publishing products instead of marketing them, so, here's an idea. Comment or post here.

And yes, I know this is like showing my belly to a bunch of sharks. But eh, I know what I'm doing, and I know how to do it.

So… I’ve been thinking. What does every person starting IM need?

Not start-up cash. Not ideas.

A guide. A FULL, COMPLETE, UTTERLY ZERO THINKING guide.

So… I’ve been thinking. What if I was to launch a sort of “IM for Dummies”, through paydotcom, or clickbank…

My guides would be complete, as I would be putting quite some work into them, and then having my mom review them [who is like... well, she's a nurse for a living, so you can understand how much she knows about IM],

Actually, I was thinking as that for a slogan, “So easy to understand, my mom can do it!”

Patent pending on that one. I’ll find you and kill your significant pets if someone tries to take it.
Anyways, opinions please. The recession is up, and will be up for another year. More and more people are getting into IM. They needed a branded line of IM products. I’ve got a few thoughts of the brand name itself, but the guides would be Affiliate Marketing [Both Bum and PPC], SEO, and more.

Comment please, and I might be nice to you.

Vadym’s Money New Idea - Give me some feedback.

They have tons of these spin guides, etc, but no regular ol' IM guides.

Now it's starting to feel like noone would be interested in it, now that I think about it.

The real money in IM is with email lists, and you need something to catch their attention. If it's a big enough idea with the right branding and especially endorsements (ewen chiwa's face on your page is literally gold for a start) like commission blueprint, richjerk, fat rich pig, how could we forget day job killer and teh like then you've got it made.

you might also want to check out this product called legit online jobs. I've seen it for over a year with a gravity of 100+ and I'm pretty sure whatever info it gives is pretty worthless by now but it still is a hot seller.

All that matters is if your idea is big enough and attractive enough, or it will just pass like a ship in the night.

This was something I was going to do at one point as well... and looked into ways to set it up which would minimize refunds. The simple fact is that webmasters are much more likely to refund digital products that non-webmasters... and that can be a problem.

I then thought about going niche compared to general and that is when I looked at the steps of setting up a network - idea would then have developed into offering advertising etc.

Even your slogan is similar to what I had for my original Niche Article Network idea (NAN = slang for gran or grandmother) and my slogan was going to be, "So simple, even your NAN could do it".

Compare that to your slogan :P

Actually, I was thinking as that for a slogan, “So easy to understand, my mom can do it!”

I guess we are on the same wavelength... apart from my procrastination.

As it stands, my NAN idea will be touched on in my book that is set to be finished in January (ie I'll be online less for 3 weeks or so as I'll be spending time with family over the holidays and I plan to finish up the book once I get back... but work on the rough version over the holidays).

I am still trying to figure out the best way to market it as CB isn't really an option due to the high possibility of refunds from webmasters - experienced and inexperienced. I still might consider the CB option and price it at $47 or something with 50% commission... but then not many people would promote it unless they had a list and even then, many could buy through their own link and then refund.

The biggest choice you would have is how to market it in a way that can make it go viral to the right people... without causing a high refund rate.

Yea, the more I think about it, the more I just think about building up my lists further, and leaving it at that. Those lists are becoming golden on their own as it is, and Whitehat Affiliate marketing niche is tapped out by the fattys like Ewen Chia, promoting the Nth new product thats the same as the first 5
