In my opinion, selling a product online has, by far seenrepparttar biggest profit potential inrepparttar 108826 long run. Once you get a successful product, you can automaterepparttar 108827 system and move on to new products that will generate multiple streams of income. If you need immediate cash flow, providing a service isrepparttar 108828 fastest way to produce instant income... but it will never pay off as big, inrepparttar 108829 long run, as selling a product with a high profit margin. If you sell a service, think about how you can transform it into a product. One ofrepparttar 108830 best examples I can think of is regardingrepparttar 108831 people who submit websites to search engines. Becauserepparttar 108832 competition got so fierce and their business began to suffer, some wrote and sold reports revealing how search engines work and tricks for getting sites listed higher etc. The reports were priced at $20 -$100, andrepparttar 108833 entrepreneurs in our example found new markets to tap. I hope this helps in your future marketing decisions.
