Pilates DVDs are in very high demand. It’s a huge, hungry market and if you are looking for a niche to serve, looking to make money from pilates related products may be a great opportunity for you.

The challenge for most people is where to locate suitable products to promote.

There will, of course, be celebrity “presented” DVDs, which will be available through places like Amazon. By signing up for an affiliate link you can earn a $ or two from each sale through your link. Hardly likely to inspire most people to put the effort in to generate the traffic for such a low financial reward.

A look through Clickbank reveals some other programs with varying prices and commission rates. Could be a better option but there are a number of important factors to consider:

You won’t get paid by Clickbank for up to 2 months. Your results are partially determined by the quality of the vendor, the vendors sales material, the product itself, the service and ultimately the people who purchase become customers of the product vendor not yours.

Perhaps the best option is to create your own product. That way you are in complete control. Once you’ve paid the creation costs everything you make is yours to keep. No share out (unless you have your own affiliates of course).

You can control the sales process, the marketing material and you get paid immediately someone purchases the product.

But, are you able to create the product yourself? You could use Private Label Rights material or hire a ghost writer to create an e-book for you but you really need to know the subject in depth or you’ll have difficulty in knowing whether the end product is as good as you’d hoped. There is of course a cost to employ somebody to do this for you and there is no real guarantee of the quality in advance. Of course, if it’s no up to sacratch you’ll request a refund or withold payment but that would still leave you at square one with no product to sell!

Without doubt there is a move towards DVD and video for tutorials on most subjects rather than the written word. But how could you creatre a DVD about pilates unless you are already an instructor or have your own contacts who will be willing to help?

The answer is to use a DVD set that has already been created and is available for you to purchase the resell licence. You then “own” the product, can create your own labels, packaging and sales material putting your own name to the product if you wish. You then sell the product as your own and keep 100% of the sale price.

You’ve avoided all of the product research, lead time and production costs and can leap straight to the top of the queue with a top quality, high demand DVD that you can offer to your customers immediately.

It’s really not so difficult to make money from pilates DVDs if you know where to source the top quality products that will be in high demand from your customers.
