To answer your question, I build relevant landing pages for any product I select to sell after I research it a little more. After I find a niche market that I think may pan out I research the forums concerning the product to see just what needs surround the product. that also helps target an audience as well.
If it's worth pursuing further, good commissions, great audience, sponsored ads are doing well, which brings up another point, that being you can keep an eye on sponsored ads to get some indication of how well a product might be doing.

If an ad or 2 is consistently in the sponsored section for a week or 2 then you may want to take a look at the sites that these ads are associated with an kinda see what audience that they are catering to in that digital light photography category. Obviously I may have gotten a little deep with this but my reason is that so many people want to find profitable niches and think that it takes a long time to do but realistically it doesn't. Sundays paper is a good place to look. see what's hot sellers for christmas, I say that because of the time of the year. follow trends. take notice of people around you and you may even pick up on some fads in clothing, shoes etc.

A simple page a couple of articles surrounding some relavent keywords will get your page listed if done right. Generally a 400-500 page article with the keywords in the title and every 100 words thereafter throughout your article submitted to a couple top directories like ezine articles, go articles etc. When doing your keyword research on google do it in "quotes". If results come back
less than 5,000 then you have a very good chance of a first page placement. I do it all the time. First page placements means free traffic. The right keywords means targeted traffic. whatever keywords you use thats going to be your audience. so choose wisely. this stuff can get deep!!

But like Linda says the easier ones for newbies are the ones that you know stuff about. Stuff I don't know about I research up on it some so that I at least know a little about it.

If you're going to draw visitors and you want to convert a relevant landing page is key.

I hope I don't get into trouble for writing long replies (lol)

I just get so excited when I can help!!!!!!!

Cheers,

I should also mention that you could direct link to a product page if available but those are not as good as one that you yourself may build. Fact is some of those product pages that comes ready made get terrible quality scores if you use Google to gauge their relevance to the keywords, and content thereof. Also your page won't be unique in that tons of other people maybe using that same page over and over again which is like duplicate content to Search Engines. One thing that stands out when using serach engines is "Originality" Uniqueness. Something different, new! Get a domain name, something relevant and not necessarily so tight, so you can use other pages with it, and a unique page, nothing spectacular, just presentable, appealing and relevant content and I've seen page quality scores jump from a 3 or 4 to excellent. I generally build a page for all my products if for no other reason to be unique. Just for testing though using article marketing to help establish who is looking and who is buying.. The buyers are the stats I'm after, (get those stats from your server) You are after the stats that keeps track of the keywords typed in to get to your page. Find the buyers if you are making acceptable sales, build a PPC campaign, page, around each audience that
purchases and check to see how well it does.

Cheers.
