The first step in the process is to find a market or a niche. There are many opinions on how to target a market but Tim and Steve will detail how to find a market with customers that are truly ready to buy. This is what is known as having “high commercial intent”, where the customer knows what they want. You will discover how to find these people and know what people are searching for. Using a checklist of processes and tools, Steve believes that you will find more niches than you will have time to build sites for. This section of the course includes six instructional videos.
Outside of the cost of the course, the only additional expense is the cost for purchasing domain and web hosting. Blueprint Project Black Edition includes what they refer to as “push button profits” which is their complete e-commerce website builder. This is software that they have continually been upgrading over the years to not only be easy to use but to also convert which is essential. You do not need any specialized expertise or technical skill to be able to do this.
Many Internet Marketing products teach you how to profit by selling digital products.

In addition, they also have a very experienced team of product sourcers who have put together all of their top tips for finding and working with suppliers. You also have the ability to submit a support request to the sourcers to help find you a supplier.
