Looking for what is selling on eBay is as easy as browsing the titles. The beautiful thing about eBay is that you can do endless quires for items for sale; items for sale buy it now, and items that have sold, or have gone unsold. More on eBay, and the art of selling information products on eBay comes later in this ebook, for now let’s focus purely on the research aspect.

What is the campaign, you can find “it” on eBay, well that has never been

more true then for information products. There are more information based

products on eBay then any other site in the world.

There are literally thousands of information products for sale every day,

and if you were to compound those numbers per month, the number of

information products for sale on eBay would surely be in the millions. eBay may

not be a gold mine for sales, but if there are that many information products listed

on the site, someone must be making some money off of it.

The best way to track what e-books are selling is to set out on a three part expedition. The first part for you to discover what is selling is to scour eBay, the worlds leading seller of information products online. The second is to look at the large e-book websites that rank product sales. And finally you will complete your search by browsing the requested work for hire advertisements, to gauge what the competition is trying to do.

The list could go on, and on for the mimic game, and is seen in virtually every industry worldwide. The important thing to remember from this is that if the most successful companies in the world practice it, isn’t it worth your time? Of course it is, so the first step in selecting a topic is to find out what is selling, and then match that to your individual interests, and abilities.

This example is also applicable to television. It didn’t take long after seeing American Idol dominate the Neilson ratings for rival networks to create their own talent shows. The premise for the television networks is that if one style of show is successful, then people must want to tune into that type of program, and thus if they make one, they too will have a great audience turnout.

Movie studios will look at the biggest box office drawing movies in theatres now, and develop a movie off of what they think will sell. Do you think it is a coincidence that just a year after Batman Returns did great in theaters, Superman Returns is released? Of course not, the movie business is a for profit business, and thus they look at what sells, and mimic it.

The internet can often be best explained through comparisons to the brick, and mortar world. To address how to find a best selling topic, look no further than what is already selling. This is a timeless practice done by virtually every business in the world.

The more you fiddle with topic ideas the more clear it will become that

most topics will not be marketable at all. If a topic isn’t marketable, it will sell very

few, if any copies at all. As you will read later in this book the name of the game

is volume, the more copies you sell the better, and so you must find a topic that

can be a real volume seller.

So where to begin, how do you find a topic that will sell like hotcakes and

how do you know a hot one when you think of it? These questions are imperative

to finding a good topic, and you deserve a pat on the back for thinking of them,

you are already on your way to success for conjuring up such thoughts.

The first and ultimately most important step in launching your information

product is selecting a topic that is marketable. This can be a tough chore

because many people have unique interests that they are emotionally attached

to, and therefore want to do an information product on. While this is admirable,

and in theory a good idea, in the competitive information product market it will

never work. You must find a topic that people want to read, better yet, a topic

people must read.
