We have discussed several times in past issues the importance of understanding your market, so I will be brief.
It does not matter what business you are in we all need to know who we are trying to sell our products, opportunities, affiliate products and services to.
Here are 5 steps: •Consider what sort of people will be interested in your product.
For example if you are selling a product to lose weight, think about the different people who would be interested in this.
•Make a list of all the people who could use your product to solve their problems.
divide the list into categories.
Going back to the weight loss product; overweight teens, frustrated mothers with overweight kids, frustrated dieters, are just a few people who would be interested in a weight loss product.
•Analyze those people: who are they? What websites do they visit? What publications would they read? •You then know where to place your ads to find them.

When you write articles on popular topics in your industry you will find that people will come to your blog for more information.
How to make more money? There are a few ways to do this.
•Be sure that your product or service is useful and provides a solution to a problem that your market is facing.
•If you already have an in demand product think about adding a backend item.
This is a product that is related to the one that you are offering, usually at a special price.
You can get ready made products to sell and use as backend products by using PLR products or affiliate products.
