1. Sell the reprint/reproduction rights to the product. You

could make money selling other people the rights to reproduce

and sell the product. People are always looking for new

products to sell.

2. Giveaway the product for free from your web site. Just

because it won't sell doesn't mean people won't visit your web

site to get it for free. They may see another product you sell

and buy that one.

3. Try auctioning off the product at an online auction. You may

make part of your investment back. If you're lucky, you may even

make a profit because people sometimes get into bidding wars and

will bid a higher price than the product is worth.

4. Use the product as a free bonus for another product you

sell. This will increase the perceived value of the product

you're selling. People will feel they're receiving more for

less.

5. Contact businesses with the same target market and see if

they would be interested in using your product as a free bonus

for their product. You could place your ad on the product and

get free advertising.

6. Sell your product to businesses at wholesale cost as a

promotional product. Businesses are always looking for products

they can giveaway to their customers with their advertising on

the product. You could make part of your investment back.

7. Barter your product to other businesses for things you need

for your own business. You could trade for their products or

services. This will save you money and help make up for your

profit loss.

8. You could create an online contest so people could win your

product. This will attract traffic to your web site. You also

could get free advertising by listing it on online contest

directories.

9. If you decide to giveaway the product for free, allow other

people to giveaway the product for free. Place your web site ad

on the product. This will spread your advertising and attract

even more people to your site.

10. Ask businesses with the same target audience if they would

be interested in combining your product with their product. You

could then sell them together as a package deal and split the

profits. You may have better results selling your product this

way.
