The problem with selling physical products on EBay is that it's a hard business to sell onto someone else. Inventory, shipping is a pain in the butt, so I decided to create a business that was virtual and a product that could be downloaded instantly.
Of course I'm talking about an ebook here, but you can create just about anything.
The problem I had was finding a category on EBay that wanted information.
Most people don't associate EBay with digital products, but people are willing to buy them if you know where to look.
What I did was I searched thru all the different EBay categories there were until I found a category with a lot of bids on just about every auction.
That category happened to be Travel/Vacation Rentals.
EBay also has a feature that shows you what the most popular searches are in each category and Florida Vacation Rentals was the most popular search term in the travel category, so I created a small 50 page ebook on every aspect of vacation rentals in Florida and sold each copy for $12.95.
It didn't make me rich, I only sold 25 copies in a week, but that was good enough for the business to sell for $450.
So for the day it took me to create everything, I made over $770.00.
Information Product Idea - IceFishingManual.com
This will be a very big seller. I know this is a tight niche market, but there really is no valuable guide online to Ice Fishing.
I think the best way to profit from this niche would be as follows.
Create a lead generating ebook and sell it for under $50.
Create a membership site and charge $19.95.
Create a DVD series and sell it for anywhere from $197 to $397
You could even branch out into subjects like "How to make money with your love of Ice Fishing"
You can find a whole bunch of really great free content that you can write into your own words on Ice Fishing by typing "Ice Fishing FAQ" into Google.com.

I was looking at the Clickbank.com marketplace the other day and I came across a few sites selling information products on increasing your vertical leap.
I had no idea why anyone would pay $97 and higher to learn how to jump higher.... then I realized something.
