Are you planning to start an Internet business?
To earn a lot of money online you need to do two things – find a product that sells and find people to help you sell it. Lets now look at how best you can do this…
1. Recruit an affiliate army that sells your product day and night
Giving affiliates a reason to promote your product is the first issue that you need to consider. There are a couple of ways to do this.
The first is to create a product that is so powerful, and which is needed by so many people, that affiliates automatically recognize it as a guaranteed money maker for them. This is an ideal situation but the problem is that it is difficult to come up with a product that achieves this effect. It is possible though, you just need to perform extensive market research and put sufficient time and resources into the creation of your product.
Another solution (the most common) is to contact the top affiliates in your niches and send them your product for free. Building up some sort of relationship with them (maybe through forums or their blog) before sending them your product is best, as otherwise your joint venture offer will likely end up in their trash folder along with the many others that they get sent every day.
2. Make an efficient sales funnel
What is a sale funnel? In a nutshell, it is the path that your visitor will take from the time he subscribes to your site (or buys your low priced flagship product) to the time he buys one of your high ticket items.
An example of a sales funnel is as follows…
A visitor to your landing page signs up for a free report or product, and are then redirected to a page that offers a discounted product for $37. After that, he receives an email series promoting a $97 product. Next, he is added into another autoresponder series that promote a $297 product, and this can go on until he buys a really highly priced product, say at $5000.
You should have a few sales funnels in place for each of your products – some with a harder sell and some with a more gentle approach. Then, regardless of the type of buyer that your visitor is, you should eventually makes sales one way or another.
You should spend some time analyzing and perfecting your sales funnel because, once you hit upon a winning formula, affiliates will send more and more traffic your way.
As a final point about the affiliate recruitment and sales funnel process in general – keep it simple. The more complex you make it, the less chance there is of you actually following through with it all of the way. Also, if it is too complex, you confuse both affiliates and prospects – which is something that you want to avoid at all costs.
This is a a proven formula that I use to market my products. I’ve created many products and websites in the Internet marketing niche, and other niche markets as well.
