How
to Start an Internet Business with NO Product, NO Experience and NO Money. Step
#6
Okay
by now you should have some idea on what your niche is going to be and what
type of product you’re going to promote.
Remember
that it should be something you have an interest in, feel comfortable talking
about and it is something people are going to want to buy. Remember what
we talked about regarding Latvian Basket weaving.
There
are two ways to approach this. The first way is to promote a product you
already have. The second is to select a product from clickbank or Warrior plus
and market them.
www.clickbank.com
specializes in digital downloads. There is a ton of great products that you can
promote with 50% or better commissions, and there are many that, if properly
promoted, can make you A LOT OF MONEY very fast. (i.e. the grill man I told you
about in a previous post). There is an amazing video that walks you through the
process step by step but that’s still a bit down the road.
The
main danger of affiliate marketing is taking on too much too fast. We’ll get to
it I promise but not until you have a stronger knowledge base.
The
other place you should check out is the warriorforum.com They also have
products you can market but the advantage here is that, as a forum, you fellow
affiliates will often rate a product and will warn you off if it’s a dud.
So
give it a look here http://www.warriorforum.com/ Then scroll
down, see what they have to offer, check out some of the forums and get a feel
for the group. If you chose to market their affiliate products it will cost you
a one time fee of $10 It used to be free but some idiots thought it would be funny
to post products that didn’t exist, ergo the $10 fee had to be created to keep
the nit-wits at bay. Once paid you can click on affiliates and see what they
got available to market and what the other affiliates think about the product.
They even have a product of the week that is getting the most conversions
(sales)
Time
is very valuable in affiliate marketing and you don’t want to waste it.
In
the Marketing Method I sent you, there is a video that instructs you how to
write ads and articles for products. The step by step tutorial for www.usfreeads.com does a terrific job of
explaining how it’s done.
I
have a product of my own that I’m selling on Amazon so I decided to take
usfreeads.com out for a spin and write my own ad.
Here’s
the link http://www.usfreeads.com/3377164-cls.html
I
also wrote an article for goarticles.com that permits me to do my thing while
still promoting my product. Here’s the link http://GoArticles.com/article/7624716
The
process for doing both was very easy and won’t take much time once you get the hang
of it.
If,
like me, you have a product of your own to sell, your best bet to get the
highest amount of readers is to publish an article on www.ezine.com . They have more readers than any
of the others but they also have very strict rules. You cannot put an affiliate
link anywhere on ezine. But if you have a product of your own, you can list
that link in the Resource Box. Ezine is a great way to get traction for your
products.
So
give www.usfreeads.com and www.goarticles.com a test run. Then send the link to your friends
and to me if you’d like at czarrichards@gmail.com
and we’ll see what we can do to punch it up.
I’ll
give a breakdown on how to promote a product from clickbank tomorrow, so bookmark
this site and sign up for my newsletter at the top right. When I come across something
spectacular I immediately inform the people who get my newsletter, so if you
want to be the first to find out about a hot selling new product, or a new
heavy traffic generator it would be a good idea to get on that list.
See
you tomorrow.
