Late Night Viewing

I came home this morning just after 04:15 and I decided to turn on the TV. I didn't expect anything interesting to be on, but I did see something on the teleshopping channel and it gave me a brain wave. I was looking at an advert for the "bricky" which is a tool anyone can use to lay down a perfect 10mm bed of mortar or "muck" as it's commonly known in the trade. It's being promoted for a limited time offer of £29.99 and it comes with loads of tools and a DVD as well and I thought it might be a good product to market online.

I have just looked at the Google Keywords Tool and typed in "bricky" to see what would come up and it seems it has a very low keyword search volume, but it is being marketed via Google AdWords (as indicated by the competiton volume indicator). I then looked at the website at http://www.bricky.com/ to see if they accept affiliates, but alas no joy. It seems they are the only ones marketing this product.

The moral of this story? Think outside of the box. It's this kind of thinking I am starting to love about this industry. I didn't think I would be that creative, but when faced with the prospect of finding products to promote I guess I got my brain juices going.
