10 Resourceful Things You Can Do With A Product that Doesn¨t Sell
1. Sell the reprint/reproduction rights to the product.
You could make money selling other people the rights
to reproduce and sell the product. People are always
looking for new products to sell.
2. Giveaway the product for free from your web site.
Just because it won't sell doesn't mean people won't
visit your web site to get it for free. They may see
another product you sell and buy that one.
3. Try auctioning off the product at an online auction.
You may make part of your investment back. If you're
lucky, you may even make a profit because people
sometimes get into bidding wars and will bid a higher
price than the product is worth.
4. Use the product as a free bonus for another product
you sell. This will increase the perceived value of the
product you're selling. People will feel they're receiving
more for less.
5. Contact businesses with the same target market and
see if they would be interested in using your product as
a free bonus for their product. You could place your ad
on the product and get free advertising.
6. Sell your product to businesses at wholesale cost as
a promotional product. Businesses are always looking
for products they can giveaway to their customers with
their advertising on the product. You could make part
of your investment back.
7. Barter your product to other businesses for things
you need for your own business. You could trade for
their products or services. This will save you money
and help make up for your profit loss.
8. You could create an online contest so people could
win your product. This will attract traffic to your web
site. You also could get free advertising by listing it on
online contest directories.
9. If you decide to giveaway the product for free, allow
other people to giveaway the product for free. Place
your web site ad on the product. This will spread your
advertising and attract even more people to your site.
10. Ask businesses with the same target audience if
they would be interested in combining your product
with their product. You could then sell them together
as a package deal and split the profits. You may have
better results selling your product this way.

10 Riveting Ways To Nail Down Instant Sales
1. End your slow sales periods by planning ahead.
Plan to add extra bonuses, hold a sale or package
your product with other products.
2. Make more commissions off the affiliate programs
you join by giving your personal endorsements for
the products. They usually pull more sales than ads.
3. Speed up your internet access. You can get your
online business tasks done faster which will help you
stay ahead of your competition.
4. Allow people who do not have time to explore
your site to download your web site in ebook format.
This will allow them time to view it offline.
5. Use tons of headlines and sub headlines on your
web site. This will keep their attention and keep them
at your web site longer.
6. Take advantage of popular fads. If something is
popular at the current time, put up a web site about
it. Just promote your main site on the fad web site.
7. Allow your prospects to chose between a retail
or wholesale price. Charge people a membership
fee to always get the products at wholesale cost.
8. Allow other related web sites that don't have a
chat room to link to yours. They'll get use of a free
chat room and you'll draw extra traffic to your site.
9. Increase the perceived value of your free stuff or
bonuses by including the retail dollar amount the
freebie would normally sell for.
10. Create your own web ring. You will gain highly
targeted traffic to your web site and others will link
to your site because they'll want to join the ring.

More New Traffic
If you need more traffic have a look at this. Viral Traffic Seeds is a new site that says it guarantees more CONVERTING web visitors and site advertising with very little effort or cost. So I decided to put it to the test...
My first impression was the site looks professional and clean, with an attractive look and feel. It is easy to read and understand. Joining the site was easy and painless--they do offer 2 upgrade options but they are not required to gain the benefits.
The Members Area is very well laid out and intuitive--I could figure out what to do after only a few minutes and was able to get up and running in less than 5 minutes. Inside the site, you create links and ads--the links you simply enter any URL links you use into the generator and it transforms them into "Viral Traffic Seeds" links. You create ads for anything you want to promote using the Viral Traffic Seeds Ad Generator, which is very easy to use. You can create as many links and as many ads as you like. And they are organized in a logical way--links are displayed in the order you create them but also your 5 most recent links appear on the main page for quick reference. Also, since the link generator is the tool you'll use most, it is also right at the top of the main page when you login. Very smart!
After you've created at least 1 link and 1 ad you can start to generate traffic. Just use and promote the new Viral Traffic Seeds link instead of the original source link you had. Every time the Viral Traffic Seeds link is clicked, the page loads followed by a cool slide-up ad window at the bottom. It displays an ad PLUS an image with your affiliate link that goes back to Viral Traffic Seeds. So if anyone clicks the Viral Traffic Seeds image they see the site, and if they signup they become your referral. It's a great viral feature because you can build referrals without even trying to just by using the site.
Now every time the ad window displays (your Viral Traffic Seeds links get clicked) you earn credits that get YOUR ad displayed in the ad windows when other members' links get clicked. So the more clicks, the more times your ads get displayed.
And this works virally--meaning as you make referrals into Viral Traffic Seeds (either by promoting it or just using it and visitors click the Viral Traffic Seeds image on the ad window to join) you also earn ad credits on THEIR link clicks. And this works up to 5 levels deep. So you can create a massive amount of free ad views and web traffic by referring others to Viral Traffic Seeds also.
I didn't get to test the full effect of a big downline yet (I just got the tool) but I can tell you the rest of the site works exactly as stated--my links got clicked, I earned credits, and my ads got displayed. Viral Traffic Seeds even tracked my results so I know how many clicks and how many ad displays. That was an impressive unadvertised extra feature.
There is one more benefit and feature which might be the best of them all--downline emailing. You can email your downline with offers, promotions, or whatever you like, and here is where Viral Traffic Seeds really shines. They took time to make the emailing often enough that it's valuable as a user, but no so often that it's a burden to your downline. But the best part about this feature (and actually the credit earning too) is that it tells you exactly how long until you can mail again. Now THAT's cool.
Overall I have to say I am impressed with Viral Traffic Seeds. It is simple yet powerful, and delivers on its promises. Highly recommended to anyone who wants to increase web traffic and site advertising.
