Greetings All,
WOW .. Yaro Starak just opened his Membership Site Mastermind training Program and he’s taking students for one week only.You can join right now (It’s a long page, so watch the video instead if you don’t like long sales pages).
He hit us with two amazing videos, one explaining his powerful yet simple survey technique that you can use to find out exactly what your people will buy from you.
The second video showed how Yaro was able to travel the world and make $211,969 while visiting 25 different countries in 8 months, and took you behind the scenes of two case studies in non-Internet marketing niches.
The amazing part is that you even get direct access to Yaro with live coaching calls, so if you want to work with this guru of Internet marketing and get personal support, this is a brilliant opportunity.
On the other hand, after I read this article, I think it is definitively worth to share with you. It is written by Jimmy D. Brown, the author of Small Report Fortunes, MarketingComics, List Profit System, and Affnaire.
If you are planning and looking for the hot product ideas for your next best-selling ebook, this is the article you should read, hope you enjoy it:

Idea Hangouts: Where to Find Hot Product Ideas to Use For Creating Your Next Best-Selling eBook
By Jimmy D. Brown
46,094.
That’s how many times I’ve been asked “Where can I find hot product ideas to write about in my next eBook?”
Really. I’ve been keeping count. 
OK, so it’s probably not quite that many times, but you get the idea.
I get asked that question a LOT.
And so, I’ve decided to share my favorite “idea hangouts”. That’s right … “idea hangouts.” It’s been my experience that there are specific places where hot product ideas are always gathered. I call them “idea hangouts.”
*** Idea Hangout #1 ***
One of the “idea hangouts” that I’ve identified is Amazon.com.
Amazon.com is the web’s largest bookstore.
It’s also a community center for new product ideas. I use it as one of my top brainstorming resources. Again and again I visit this site to come up with topics to write about.
What makes Amazon.com so useful as a research tool for getting new ideas is their searchable database of books. There are thousands of great ideas lurking in there if you just know how to use it.
And that’s what I’m here for.
I’m going to show you how to find hot product ideas with Amazon.com anytime you want.
It’s really a matter of three simple steps …
STEP 01 : >>> Decide Upon A Broad Category. When brainstorming ideas, you must begin with a broad category to work with. Some examples might be: marketing, dating, travel, baseball.
So, you need that ahead of time. Figure out a broad subject that you know is popular (I.E. You know that losing pounds is ALWAYS going to be a popular subject, as is “making money.”).
As an example for this article, I’m going to choose GOLF.
STEP 02 : >>> Search Amazon’s Database. After picking your broad topic to research, it’s time to visit Amazon.com.
Specifically, you’re going to SEARCH their database of books they are selling.
Upon arriving at their site, locate their SEARCH form. At the time of this writing, it was in the upper left hand corner of their main page. Pull the menu down and select BOOKS from the options.
In the space provided, type in whatever broad category you chose. I’d type in “Golf”. (You don’t need quotation marks)
If you did indeed start with a broad category, then hundreds (or even thousands) of book listings should appear as a result of the search.
STEP 03 : >>> Brainstorm Ideas From The Listings. Let the brainstorming session begin! Now it’s time to look at the books that are listed and write down as many possible ideas as you can find.
Look for the different TYPES of books written about the subject, identifying different THEMES, STYLES and
SUBCATEGORIES.
Let’s look at an example …
When I searched for “Golf”, I was able to immediately spot dozens of great ideas. Here are a handful …
1. Becoming a better golfer. There are many golf books available in this area, covering everything from “A-Z of Golf Shots” to specific topics such as “Improving Your Short Game.” There were lots of different themes from “learning to break 100″ to “shaving 10 shots off your score” to “7 shots that will change your golf game forever.”
2. Guides to Golf Courses. Again, we have many different ideas here. Specific golf guides like “Florida golfing”, “golfing in Tennessee” and “golfing the Robert Trent Jones trail” appear, as well as books on “the best golf courses in America,” “best kept secrets: great golf courses you’ve probably never played,” and “golf vacation guides.”
3. Profiting from Golf. More ideas pour in with “opening a golf repair business,” “becoming a golf retailer,” “learning how to caddy” and “buying & selling used golf clubs.” What about “running an online golf auction”, “organizing a golf tournament for profit” or even “writing information products about golf!”
4. Golf and Business. There are millions of dollars in business deals negotiated on the golf course every single
year. And there are books available to teach folks how to get it done. “How to negotiate business deals during golf outings,” “Legal golf tax deductions for businesspeople,” and “business seminars and golf: how to mix training and fun for maximum profit” are just a few more ideas worth exploring.
5. Golf Products. My, my, my there are so many ideas floating around in here! Everything ranging from reviews of the latest golf equipment to ratings of golf courses to discounts on golf packages. Resource guides to finding the best deals on golfing products, how to negotiate discounts, and how to find the best products for your specific golf game also come to mind as product ideas.
One Broad Category (Golf) + Amazon.com Searchable Database of Books = 28 Potential Product Ideas
See how easy that was? I found TWENTY-EIGHT potential new product ideas (and there were MANY MORE that I didn’t mention in this article) from a simple brainstorming exercise using ONE “idea hangout.”
There’s got to be a best-seller in that bunch somewhere. And certainly with a little “mix -n- match” I can come up with a hit product with these ideas.
Not bad, eh?
So, now it’s YOUR turn. It’s a simple system for coming up with product ideas anytime you want.
Like right now.
