E-goods that one can resell

Internet-based goods or services one can resell

I run a forum and I'm interested in using the "love" I get from members as the basis for an online store. But I'm not willing to ship any physical goods. What entirely electronic goods or services can one easily resell online?

We've been selling very specific informational tutorials, such as "All about your widgets" for about four years now. All you have to do is put together an ebook on your
topic or service and sell it at a absurdly low price, say
under $3.00. We did all of ours in house and try and develop a new product every month and put it online.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Unfortunately, the people in my target audience are not used to paying for any form of content. They will pay for a service, though, if it doesn't have any free and reliable equivalent.

I'm thinking of:
- Selling domain names and related services (but not anything that requires serious technical support e.g. hosting!)
- Perhaps re-selling access to International web-based services that my target audience can't pay for because they don't use credit cards.

If you can give me the right keywords to use to search for this info, that'll be enough for me! Using "virtual goods" yields no result.

erm, how are they going to pay you then?

We have a service called 'Flash Me Cash' that allows people to pay for goods using the local currency (per-transaction fee of about $1.80). We also have some debit card providers using the local currency.

But we don't have widespread access to Mastercard/Visa credit cards, which are Internationally acceptable.
