John Reese is one of the most experienced people in internet marketing.
He’s been running different businesses since as early as 1990, and he was the first person to make a million dollars in 24 hours.
Although John doesn’t make as many appearances these days as he used to, he just published an information-packed video about the near perfect online business model for 2017.
In other words, he answers the question once and for all: what should you sell in 2017 to make the most money?
He carefully dissects the pros and cons of five different kinds of products commonly sold on the internet today:
- Coaching
- Agency services
- E-commerce products
- Software as a service
- Information products
and finally, he makes a conclusion about which he recommends. (Hint: it’s a variation upon one of the above)
John also introduces Course Label Workshop, his new product that helps people to get started with his recommended business model.
Deciding what to sell is the first decision you have to make when venturing into internet marketing. There are actually two steps to deciding what to sell:
- Define your ideal customer
- Identify what they want
For example, you might decide that you want to sell a house cleaning service. What kind of customer can you best help and what is it that they’re looking for? That will allow you to come up with the most powerful offer.
For a more detailed look at this exercise, take a look at module 4 of our free course.
