If you have pondered the possibility of creating your own online store which delivers tangible products, but have been deterred by the prospect of having to maintain inventory, then the method devised by super affiliates Steve Clayton and Tim Godfrey may be just the opportunity you have been waiting for.

Let me say right now that if anyone besides than Steve Clayton and Tim Godfrey were trying to get my attention by proposing to dominate niches using what sounds like eBay-seller type storefronts, I'd be very unlikely to listen to their proposition.

However, these two guys happen to be outstanding internet marketers, as you'll see in a moment.

Steve and Tim are better known for their earlier product, known as Commission Blueprint, in which they detailed their enormously successful affiliate marketing strategies for moving ClickBank products through pay per click advertising.

In fact, one of their campaigns repeated pulled in about $100,000 per month in commissions, with an ad spend that cost perhaps a fifth of that. If this sounds remarkable, it should. Especially when you consider they were able to do this selling scores of non-internet marketing related products, like acne therapies, and schemes to run your car on water (apparently people will buy that kind of thing!).

So Steve Clayton and Tim Godfrey know what it takes to sell stuff. It's just what they are good at. They have done the work, learned from their experience, and these days they are happy to make some extra money revealing what it is that they do so well. I am sure that it also does wonders for the ego, but if the end result is an improved understanding on my part for how to sell efficiently, then that's all I care about. I am sure this is also true for you.

You're probably wondering how these guys got to be experts, right?

Well, Steve Clayton has a technical background, having labored for two decades in, as he describes it, "Corporate America". But he got out in 2003 after deciding that what he wanted to do was create his own lifestyle independent of anyone else. Well, he almost did that, but as luck would have it, he chanced to meet Tim Godfrey and the two struck up a partnership which has worked out very well for the both of them. Tim has spent a lot of time experimenting with all the many ways that affiliates can earn money online, including having produced his own affiliate marketing products. He appears to be happy being the backend component of this dynamic duo, while Steve appears in the videos and gets his face out in front of clients.

Their first product for 2009 is called the Niche Blueprint. Unlike their first joint product, which concentrated on the selling of info products, this time around they are providing instruction on how to be massively successful at selling physical goods.

As examples of this, they say they have made hundreds of thousands of dollars targeting obscure niches such as bird cages, sewing machines, and even train horns. Train horns? You will probably be surprised to discover that people pay up to $1000 or more to place powerful train horns on their automobiles. Who knows why! But if there is a market for it, and the returns are good, then it is clearly an opportunity that should peak the interest of any serious affiliate marketer.

Now, I have promoted tangible products in the past (and even presently) and I know that the commissions on these are generally very low. For instance, the top commission rate you can get promoting a product through Amazon.com is about 8 percent. Steve and Tim know this too. So instead of just making their commissions through referred sales, they have come up with a method for acquiring the goods wholesale, and then drop shipping the items through an inexpensive service. That way, they can set the prices of the goods and earn more that the standard affiliate commissions. In effect, they have become vendors.

In principle, it sounds great, but what about the storefront? How do you go about finding suppliers of the goods that you want to sell through the online store? And what about the drop shipping service (which allows you to avoid stocking any inventory)?

Well, Steve and Tim figured out how to set up their own drop shipping business so that they could remove the middle-man. When their members buy the Niche Blueprint, which you can learn more about in my Niche Blueprint review, they get a free non-expiring subscription to the service.

They also are given all of the software needed to set up their online store, plus loads of video tutorials and PDF manuals that explain how to do everything. Again, if it was anyone other than this pair of characters offering the product, I would probably not pay too much attention. But these guys are simply just too good at their game to ignore.

So if you think you might like to leverage their success, take a closer inspection of the Niche Blueprint. But I must warn you that Steve and Tim rarely open the doors to new clients for this product, so if you discover that they have opened up their membership queue, realize that it will only be temporary. I have also decided to make it easier for people to decide to sign up for the Niche Blueprint. I am offering a sizable bonus in the form of companion software which can be used to create lead-in pages for your store. You can see my offer on my review page for the Niche Blueprint.
