Can I just Sell…?
Here is a question that I received from Teri…
Hello, I have purchased SAH and SBI. Can I just sell SAH and/or SBI from my site? I am having so much trouble getting a niche together that I wondered if I started as an affiliate for the above then I could generate some income (and eat and pay the rent) while I am trying to understand what I am doing. As you’ve guessed I am a newbie! Thank you for your time. I do appreciate it.

Good Niche Advice…
You’re gonna love this!
Brad Fallon and Anthony Blake, have collared niche expert and “Strike It Niche!” author, Michael Holland, on a free teleseminar next Wednesday (February 1st).
And they’re going to make Michael sing like a trapped canary with a bad crack habit!
He will reveal the niche marketing tactics that keep him in fine wine and good couture (yes, I do know Michael) from a nice six-figure online income.
Here is what you’ll learn:
- How to find high-profit potential niche markets
- Why more than 90% of new web sites are doomed from the start and what you can do to avoid this fate
- Which type of web sites you should be creating ‘Today’ and why
- The key ingredients to every successful niche business
- How to get tons o’ visitors to your niche sites
- And a whole lot more!
Best of all, you’ll also get the scoop on some actual high demand, low competition niches he’s never shared with anyone.
But Michael has another motive as well.
He’s tired of those gurus who make it seem like earning money online is complicated.
He says it’s not, and I agree… if you use the right approach and don’t get sidetracked.
Anyway, Michael can explain what he means a lot better than I can.
Reserve your seat on the call today because only a limited number of slots are available….
And yes, I’ll be listening too!
All the best, Ros
