In this article I want to write about successful marketing and sell other peoples products.
Essentially, affiliate marketing means selling a product that is not yours for a commission. You get money for each sale you make, meaning that all you need to do is to connect that product with an audience that will appreciate it.
Affiliate marketing is one of the most effective and honest ways for anyone to earn money online. This is a quick and passive method to earn cash that is highly scalable, and that is easy to set up. No technical skill is required and if you choose the right products and connect with the right market, you can stand to many hundreds or even thousands of dollars in a short space of time.
Let's focus on digital affiliate products. Digital products are definitely a good choice for selling online because they have zero overheads and no "COGs"( this is a business term meaning "Cost of Goods Sold"). That means that the creator doesn't have to pay out at all for each sale and they can instead just make profit and share that profit. It also means they never had to invest large amounts of money upfront and they don't have to handle delivery either.
While selling eBooks is an excellent way to ensure that you can keep the maximum profit, it also has its limitations. Despite what some other marketers might tell you, the most popular type of product online is still of the physical variety. In fact... most of the people buy physical products. For starters, selling physical products is often much more profitable than selling digital products.
Another option is to try selling a service. This option is potentially the most lucrative!
The reason for this is that many services will offer you a recurring commission. Let's say that you manage to get someone to sign up to a gambling website. Some gambling sites will offer commission on all earnings from that customer for their lifetime with the brand.
Likewise, if you can convince someone to sign up with a hosting account, or to otherwise join a recurring service then you will often find that you are offered a commission that is paid to you every month until they remain with that hosting company.
Of course this might start as a small amount of commission. BUT it can then add up to a large amount of time. In a few years, you might have hundreds or even thousands of conversions, which will then earn you recurring income!
About various tools and strategies we can talk in other article, but here I want to mention a new strategy:
* Create a website and build an audience that trusts you and enjoys what you do. Do this by generating genuinely unique and passionate content with a strong visual brand and missions statement.
* Find a few big ticket affiliate products and services and create sales pages for those, then "launch" them from your site by using email blasts and teasers to create hype.
* Meanwhile, sell as many smaller digital products, physical products, and services, through articles and websites that you promote using SEO.
Whatever you do, you can now enjoy earning money while you sleep - and the more you experiment, the more efficient your sales technique will become!
