So what do people sell in mainstream?
All this talk about great ratios and piles of cash without any real info. So what kind of products mainstream webmasters make money on? What do they sell?
Asking for a friend. |
They sell ebooks to each other about how to make money as a mainstream webmaster.
That and DVD's about how to make ebooks. |

Nah, mainstream is simple, really. Find some niche that isn't too saturated (stadium bleachers, clothes for dogs, special kinky lotion, or whatever), pickup a few domains, throw up some sites that are constantly updated with fresh content, SEO the sites, add some lead capture forms, spam the shit out of your leads, and sell as an affiliate or via some supplier. Rinse & repeat 200 times over, and you'll make some coin. I should sell a $7 ebook now explaining that. :1orglaugh |

I personally think the way to go is make a product, not rely on affiliate programs. Create one after you are selling your product.
This brings us back to the thread topic: What to sell? |

Im actually glad losers like you stay in adult trying to figure out whats making money. Quote:
I pray to god people stay in adult as long as possible. Its SO enlighting to roam around the mainstream forums where people can conversate like adults and help eachother out instead of bitching crying and trashing eachother. |
how long is a piece of string?

Jokes aside, I was wondering this myself.
I would like to expand out of adult as well, and it strikes me that when you strip down what adult is, it's selling intangibles through card-not-present transactions. If there were no nekkid people involved it would be mainstream, and a whole new world of advertising possibilities would open up. The question is what to sell? |

And, among other things, herbal products like we have in http://www.Sellhealth.com move well. |

Or just sell leads. Put up some of those "Enter your e-mail & zip to win a free plasma TV" sites. Sell the leads for say $0.80 each, advertise via PPC for say $0.12 per click, and you'll probably get a 60 - 70% conversion ratio. Start an online food delivery site for your city / state / country, and partner with all the restarants in the area. Charge a per-listing fee, and hype up your site as the next big thing. Create a commission based sales force to do the selling for you. There's loads of shit you can do... |

I'm researching it more now because my goal is 33% mainstream (and 33% cams/dating + 34% paysites) by the end of 2011. I used to do quite a bit in mainstream many years ago but it was a different time then (pets.com, etc). Ironically I left mainstream affiliate marketing in 2000 because adult was more profitable.
One thing I notice is that the conventional wisdom even today is basically that if you send 200 uniques and don't make a conversion, stop promoting it because it isn't worth it. This alone shows you an apparent major difference between mainstream and adult. Imagine doing that in adult. Well it used to be common....but back in 1999. :upsidedow |
I guess the concern I have is that people say sell whatever you want but we have watched that fold before when the dotcom bubble burst years ago.
Are people really making coin on e-dogleash.com or actually just banking off ringtones, dick pills, acai, neutra continuity and other scammy offers while saying they make money selling tangible shit most people buy in stores. |
one of my mainstream sites sold 450 bucks worth of shit on amazon last week, My cool commission check from them was 27 dollars.
|
Hmm I try mainstream, but I have still the same problem. When i build porn blog, I get links from directories and after some time visitors from google starts to come. When I build some mainstream site I just don't know where to get those links like links from directories in adult and that is limiting my efforts in mainstream.
|
Herbals and any make money online stuff have been selling like hotcakes for a long time now. Other than that, there are literally so many options that it's impossible to even start. What do YOU want to sell?

Not like mainstream, where they kick their feet around, and hmmm and hawww. That, and loads of people are just idiots. For example, I've even had clients tell me they want to sell poodles (yes, the live ones) over the internet before. Wanted to start up an affiliate program to sell poodles. |

Or, if you were cookie stuffing but that ship has long since sailed. |
I've never been able to sell much of anything online in "mainstream"
Especially now with the economy in the shitter and the draconian new credit card rules that mainstream brought down on all of us with THEIR aggressive x-sell and shady tactics. Anyway, for whatever reason, it doesn't matter what I promote that's "mainstream" it just doesn't convert. The people I seem to get surfing just don't have much interest in buying stuff online...or they are smartened up (probably the real reason) and google the shit up themselves instead of clicking my links. I will admit though that I haven't yet done an email campaign on mainstream...but that would be because I keep getting refused by the affiliate programs of the two products that I want to push. The rest of the crap I'm pushing isn't stuff I'd want to blow my load on an email campaign for. |

Show me some of those faknicks you accuse me of having? Or show me those tradethreads a recently made? Oh thats right, you cant because you are so full of it :) Kids like you wouldnt last a day on the mainstream forums, and boy am i glad for that. |

there are a million more suckers in mainstream that's for sure. i guess that's why it is profitable for some. people there believe any fucking thing.
|
Ps. Im doing 1:60 on 1 of my first mainstream websites.
Its thinking outside the box that counts. That and some work. If you didnt get beyond the "mainstream is all about ebooks and mailling list", you probably wont get far. |

Exactly my point.. But hey, dont give them to much info. I dont know you but if you are in mainstream, for the sake of it, dont tempt these fake losers like machete to cross over.

I know a couple of mainstreamers. One had a magic site where he sold magic tricks, after he had paid for his adwords he was barely breaking even.
Another guy I knew would cookie stuff in forums to make money from eBay, he got a few $300 cheques through then they cancelled his account I also knew an over 60 guy who constantly joins "How to Get Rich" websites, with one of them he paid $10,000 for their videos which turned out to be a waste of time, he asked for his money back but they never replied, he sees it as a good learning experience. He still joins the same type of 'Get Rich' sites and tries to get other 'Get Rich' people signed underneath him, then all the 'Get Rich' people wait for the next such site to open up so as they can scramble to get in first. |

But again there are some guys who do really make money by selling real products via linkshare (higher commission then via amazon). For example by building 3-4 page minisites only about one product and using special promo codes to have a better price then at other places. |
http://affiliate.asseenontv.com/ converts better for me than anything in adult, true story. I gave you guys that one for free, anything else and you'll have to buy my ebook and a dvd about how to read it the correct way. :thumbsup

I sell domains in mainstream. Have made from a 50% loss to a 40000% profit per sale, and made as much as $51,000 profit on a sale.
It can be lucrative, but it's verrry tough. There's not many people who do it for a living, and probably less today than a few years ago. |
