Another idea is to provide a service that people have a need for. That's what I want to talk about in this article!
Jeff Casmer is an affiliate for SFI. He came up with the idea to provide a co-op lead program to help SFI members get new affiliates. This idea came about because he was not happy with the lead program that SFI offered.
It took SFI to long to fill the lead orders and it was over priced in his opinion. He took this opportunity to fill a need and start his own SFI co-op lead pogram.
He completes the orders faster and less expensive than SFI does. because he supplies a need at a price that is less than SFI is doing it for he has been able to turn that into a profitable product.
Here's one more example of providing a service as a product.
Suzanne Morrison is a member of the Plug-in Profit Site affiliate program. She noticed that the websites being built for people were not optimized correctly for the search engines. Optimizing a website for the best keywords is hard for a new internet marketer to do on their own.
She was able to quit her job and go full time online by offering a search engine optimization program at a reasonable price. She provides this service and turned it into a product she can sell to make money and help people.
She saw an opportunity to turn a need into a product of her own! Plus another key to making money selling a usefull service is helping people which makes her feel good.
There are numerous examples of people coming up with products to sell by providing a service. Other things you can do is write blog articles, design graphics, set up blogs, do website design, and much more.
People are willing to pay you to do things for them that they do not know how to do, or do not have time to do. Keep your eye open for opportunities and you will have plenty of products to sell creating by providing a service.
