I'm going to save you time and start with a qualifier. Before you read the rest of this article, you must be able to lay claim to at least one of these!

No email list
No products of your own
No joint venture partners
No pay per click experience
No internet experience
No SEO knowledge
No copywriting skills
No web design expertise
No money for advertising

If any of these apply to you, then this article's for you - read it thoroughly.

Looking at the above list, have you ever felt behind the 8-ball trying to figure out how to make money online?

Allan's article "Meet your new competitors - they're kids" gave us a preview of what's to come - as if it wasn't daunting enough that you've got to know how to:

Research products to market
Set up a website and shopping cart system
Establish a supplier network to deliver your products
Find, convert and keep customers!

Perhaps your tank's a little low on technical knowledge or you're a newbie to online marketing. Maybe as you're reading this, you're currently learning how to do the whole shebang.

Until you make enough money to contract outside help, sometimes you need to be across everything - marketing, technical, copywriting, search engine optimization etc.

Where do you start? How much easier would you have it if someone told you exactly how to do it?

Recently a couple of guys have proved it's less about the "what" and more about the "how".  Check this out. Tim Godfrey and Steven Clayton made:

- $173,000 from a site selling Bird Cages
- $14,134 per month from a site on Train Horns
- And $7123 each month from another selling Sewing Machines

Talk about some bizarre niches!

How many people would have picked these? This was kind of the point and these guys have developed a blueprint for pinpointing niches and cashing in on them with their unconventional formula (like they are to the tune of $1 million a year).

Featured on Fox News and The New York Times, their course Niche Blueprint tells you exactly what to do and how to do it. It's that simple.

They reveal how to cash in on low competition markets, set up web sites at the push of a button and get free traffic. In fact, in one of their videos you'll see a live site in action so you can learn exactly how they make $15,000/month from it.
