Donna Knight’s Internet Marketing Tools and Reviews

I know I love finding new places I can get business ideas from. Here’s one…

Go to:

http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/

Select any of the areas there, pick out all the images that you think are interesting (most of the images are in the public domain but check the dates to make sure)

I quickly found an area in the LOC that could be hot sellers:

Town maps from the 1800’s: http://lcweb2.loc.gov/ammem/gmdhtml/pmmapSubjects10.html

Use the town’s name and the keywords in your listings! Or if you’re creative, make your own graphics and sayings.

Then set up an account with CafePress.com (it’s free) and create your own line of t-shirts, coffee mugs, posters, stickers and more.

List them on Ebay and I guarantee you’ll make money if your design is creative enough…

The thing I like about CafePress is that you can order the item you’ve sold through your own account and have it ‘drop shipped’ to your customer without ever touching the product!

That’s right. You’re own products drop shipped for you!

TIP: Just make sure you send it as a “gift” in the ordering process or your customer will see how much you paid for the item because CafePress will include a receipt (invoice) with the item when it ships unless you state it is a ‘gift’. In the “gift message” just write something like “thank you for your purchase!” and that’s all your customer will see – no prices or invoice.

Here’s a big traffic secret…

If you didn’t know it already, Clickbank is one of the premier marketplaces for digital products on the Internet.

You have probably bought a product or two from Clickbank. But what you may not know is that the Clickbank marketplace gets tons of traffic.

All you have to do is get a product in the Clickbank marketplace to start getting traffic.

Of course, your rank in the marketplace will determine how much traffic you get. Another determining factor is how many products you have in the Clickbank marketplace.

But, this is a source of traffic as well as sales and it could be huge.

Take a look at the Alexa ranking for Clickbank’s marketplace:

Clickbank Alexa Ranking

It’s ranked the #2494 out of millions of websites! It is one of the most visited websites on the Internet.

If you already have a product and are not selling it in the marketplace, you should be.

If you haven’t developed a product yet, think about it and do one specifically designed to rank high in the Clickbank market.
