Before beginning to sell information products online, make sure that you are targeting a niche that will be profitable in the short-term as well as in the future. Your niche is simply a different way of saying your target audience.

Some niches, as you’ll discover, aren’t as profitable as others. You need to look at your audience and see if they’re willing (and able) to spend money for the solutions they’re seeking.

For instance, golfers have deep pockets because the game of golf in itself is expensive. They’re also rabid fans of the game who would do anything to improve their score or beat their competitors on the links.

Another potential target audience such as single moms on a budget may be reluctant to pay $67 for an eBook on getting organized, but if you target a different problem of theirs they are willing to pay. For instance, many may be willing to pay $47 for an eBook which teaches them how to make more money working at home than they make on their 9-5 jobs.

One excellent place to begin is with checking out online groups and forums. You can visit iVillage, or Yahoo groups, Google groups, or Boardtracker and determine what sort of groups garner the most posts. Men’s groups such as AskMen might provide some insight into which types of information products this segment of the population might need which you can provide at a handsome profit.

You’re not only looking for large group of people to market to - you are looking for the large group that has a lot of problems in common which need solutions. As you start creating information products, you will want to concentrate on building a whole line of products in one niche to begin with. This will allow you to market to loyal existing customers who will buy from you many different times.

In some instances, you’ll find a large niche market and then realize you need to develop your information product line around a more targeted, narrow section of that niche. For example, parents are a group with plenty of problems you could potentially address. Raising intelligent kids, saving money, preventing drug and dealing with discipline, use might be a few.

But you can then narrow that niche to moms or dads and dig deeper by focusing on parents of multiples or parents raising kids with physical ailments. Just remember that an information product is not really a product at all - it’s a solution, so it needs to be marketed as something that will improve lives
