Film memorabilia has always been a source of money making potential, and now more so than ever. Recently in London the brown cape worn by Alec Guinness in the first Star Wars film sold at auction for ?54,000 (around $108,000), and the dinner jacket worn by Sean Connery in Thunderball went for ?30,000 (around $60,000).

Very nice if you have the money, but is there a way to profit from film memorabilia without the cost?

Yes, there is.

Like I say, the memorabilia market is a big one - after all, think of all the different genres of film, all the biggest stars, and all the biggest films, so many different markets. Personally I shy away from trading in memorabilia, and here's why.

Yes, at the moment it is a rising market, but you still have to lay out for the products to sell, pus there is always the issue of fakes from unscrupulous people. To pretend that particular problem doesn't exist is to live in a fantasy.

So, what are the 2 methods I prefer to cash in on the film memorabilia market?

The first is to be an affiliate. This means you don't need a website, you simply send visitors to an existing site that sells merchandise. When someone goes on to buy, you get an agreed commission.

There is one poster site in particular that has a great site. I made a good old deal of money from sending people to that site, because although someone may be looking for a $9 poster, the site does a good job of selling pre-framed versions for $100+, so the commissions soon added up!

The downside of this model is that you are competing with anyone else who wants to get involved, and it's difficult to make yourself stand out.

The second method is to provide information. With the advance of the technology, it costs literally nothing to create and distribute information products today, so the profit mark up is large.

The good type of information that film fans will pay for, is information that will help fund their interest. Will they be interested in getting their memorabilia for free? Interested in earning funds to buy as many posters as they want? In earning enough money that maybe outweighs the day job?

You bet! This is the model I use presently, so I hope I've shown that although it's nice to be able to trade in Obi Wan Kenobi's cape, I prefer the information model.
