I was meeting up with one of my friend today and he was mentioning to me and asking for my help on how to actually start a successful online business.

He was mentioning to me that he was thinking of promoting someone’s else product as an affiliate first. But actually that is what is taught by all the Gurus out there. What I recommended to him instead was actually to ask my friend to create his own product.

Here Are Various Reasons Why You Should Have Your Own Product:

1. You can brand yourself as an expert ( Really Important )
2. You can get people to promote you, instead of you promoting people
3. You can get your affiliates promoting you to generate a big list for you
4. Once you have successful sold lots of copies online, you can conduct trainings

Alvin What If I Want To Go The Simple Path And Just Be An Affiliate?

If you are going to do that, I would highly recommend you create a squeeze page first to capture their first name and email first before you start promoting someone else product.

For example, let’s say you are promoting a Forex product. Chances are most of the leads you gather would be interested in Forex but they may not like the offer that you were first promoting at first.

Therefore, with the leads you have collected already. You can use the leads that you have collected to promote the Forex product and promote other related Forex products.

If you think about it, it’s almost like shopping in real life. Let’s say you are interested in buying a shoe. There are many brands to choose from, Nike, Adidas, Reebok and much more. However, you only decided to promote Nike shoe as your product. Will everyone only love Nike? Well if you have collected the leads, you can still use them to promote other brands of shoes. I hope this example give you a clearer understanding of what I am trying to explain

So do think very carefully next time, before you promote a product. Always remember to create a squeeze page before you promote a product.

There are many articles and thing that I have taught to thousands of people around the world and I got to be real frank with you not everyone will succeed in everything that I have taught people.

The major reason is because, there are always trail and errors in everything we do in real life. We are not born to be perfect human people who are always right all the time.

So what happen when you learn something new, or you bought a new internet marketing course and you really follow through the steps and did not get any success?

Here’s What You Can Do First!

ALWAYS and I say again ALWAYS remember not to think of negative thoughts. It real common that many people fail during the 1st attempt will tend to give up and think it will not work. Here’s some facts, most successful Internet Marketers do not make their first $1,000 from their 1st attempt. In fact 99% of only BECAME successful after testing and tweaking the strategies  taught in materials.

So you happen to be one of those who already gave up after the 1st attempt I can tell you, you have not done enough yet KEEP GOING!

Next Find Out What’s The Actual Problem

I have recently lost SG$400 on advertising a website and it’s a huge pain to not make a single sale out of it. However, I did not treat it as a faliure but I would say I treat it as a learning curve to ensure I do not make the same mistake ever again.

Traffic stats is key in testing and if you do not know how much traffic you are driving to a page, you are simply marketing to a website blindly and you WILL end up disappointed without knowing why.

Now You Know The Mistake It Time To Test Out New Tactics

If you fail are something, it’s always good to go back and see what’s the problem first is and later on brain storm on other ways to promote the site.

Here’s are some common possible problems you do not make a sale

1. Not enough traffic promoting the website ( at least 100 hits )
2. Sales copy do not convert
3. Wrong source of traffic
4. Adwords placements are misleading

There are many factors that may cause no sale, but regardless what it is. YOU MUST and I say again YOU MUST at least collect their name and email using an auto responder so that you can follow up with them! If you do not have one, you can click here to sign up for a free trial.

Test And Tweak Until There Is A Sale!

Once you got a sale, the next thing to do is to find out how you got the sale. MANY people online who make their 1st sale do not know where the source of the traffic came from and even how many hits they promote the website to get the sale. It’s really VERY important to know these numbers.

Here’s an example to explain how important it is:

You are promote let say Atomic Blogging
And you drive : 100 hits to your affiliate link
Sales : 1 sale profit US$25
Sales Conversion rate: 1 Sale x (100% / 100 Hits) = 1%

From the above example you now know that the efforts you did has got you 1 sale after 100 hits and that’s 1% sales conversion rate. ONCE you know this conversion, how much you want to earn is really depends on how much traffic you generate.

So I hope you finally understand what to do when you fail and some final words I like to tell you is “Love To Fail And You Will Succeed Faster” If you like this post, you may consider clicking here to subscribe to my blog to get the latest updates To get a more comprehensive guide on blogging, I would highly recommend you to get my full blogging guide book here If you have any further comment please do remember to comment below.

I start blogging way back in Oct 2006 and back then I would never thought I would be who I am today living a lifestyle of a internet marketer. I went through lots of pain and failures and I thought it would be nice to share with you some of the inner secrets and ideas that are rarely mention in any ebook on Internet Marketing.

Warning! before you proceed reading the following chapters below, I got to let you know these are just known facts that I have experience from 2 years of marketing online and no one rarely talks about this. I believe in honesty and decided to share it with you

Make More Money Creating Your Own Products

I see this time and time again especially in the Internet Marketing niche where Gurus often sell great ebooks on any topic related to Internet Marketing claiming they make huge cheques from Clickbank. But the truth fact I realized that many Millionaire Internet Marketing are making a huge amount of money from selling their own products.

For example, Guru A created a X program that cost $97 a copy. If he sell 1,000 of those that’s $97,000 in his pocket. So what happens for people who dare to sell higher ticket items like coaching programs that can cost as high as $10,000 each?

Well Gurus are able to make $1 Million dollars in a day or some even 10 minutes because simply put they have huge list as big as 100,000 database promoting a big item. To get a million dollars all you do is to sell 100 copies of a $10,000 product The strange part they never once mention that to you

The strange part is at most times the materials you buy later will explain just basic marketing stuff and most often do not sure real live examples of how the Guru actually make the money from because the money actually comes from the teaching materials

Make More Money Conducting Training

If you are currently blogging or have a website with a pool of database, it’s always a great idea to offer training services to your current customers.

For example, you can start a simple training class for a mere fee of $300 for 2 days (that was how I stared 2 years ago) and if you managed to get 10 signs that’s $3,000 in your pocket

It’s no secret, most online internet marketings make lots of money also from training but only a few choose to expose this secret and fact.

Make More Money From Providing Value Added Services

Let say if you are in Forex niche and you already have a pool of customers let say 100 customers. What you can do today if you listen carefully can help increase your profits by at least 300% just by providing value added services.

For this example of the Forex niche, you can actually start a service where you help people to service and monitor their forex account for them. I do noticed in most niches there are many other services that you can brain storm to help your customers.

If you are not sure what they need, the best is to just ask your customers what they need and just give them what they want

Affiliate marketing is the most basic thing that anyone who is interested to make money online must know. To affiliate some one product, one must first have a Clickbank account to start with.

Once you have sign up for an account, the next problem that many people faced next is not knowing which product to choose to sell on their website or blog. Here’s some tips to give you on choosing product to be an affiliate for.

1. Ensure the product you select is related to what you write on your website or blog
2. Ensure the product has some grav points on the product, the higher the grav point it means the products is more sellable online
3. Ensure the product you are selling does not have too much ref % as the more ref % there are it means there are lots of people selling the product

Other Popular Networks You Can Consider

• PayDotCom
• CJ.com

Once you have more of less decided which product to sell, it is also important to test your affiliate link to ensure the product owner pays the sale when you promote the link.

After you have tested the link, you most likely would also want to check out the salescopy if it is written professionally and does it convert to a sale.

When Do You Stop Promoting An Affiliate Product?

In affiliate marketing, it is always important to test a product by first driving massive traffic to the product page and your job is to find the sales conversion ratio.

For instant, you have select a product in the golf niche and used a tracking software to promote 100 hits to it and had zero sales. If that happens to you. I would recommend you looking at promoting other products instead.

As in general, most products online convert at a ratio of 1%. Which means out of every 100 hits, you should get a sale from promoting the product.

Recommend Niche Products To Choose

I have been selling lots of kinds of products online and here’s a list of products that I know sells really well online

1. Internet Marketing Related Products
2. Gambling Related Products
3. Weight Loss Related Products
4. Forex Related Products
5. Real Hyped Up Get Quick Rich Products
6. Investment Related Products

There maybe more then these list, but so far I have sold some of the niches listed above and I can say it’s pretty profitable I do have to warn you some of the products listed above although may sell real well but may get a high refund rate too.

It’s no secret, I had a great success of creating & selling my popular ebook called Atomic Blogging. Writing that book was not my first ebook that I ever wrote on it took me lots of failures before I was able to understand what my customers actually wanted. Before I go into the details let’s start from the beginning.

What’s An Ebook?

A ebook is basically a digital book that is compiled into a digital format for readers with a PC to read on. At most times, the book is compiled in a PDF format to protect people from copying the content.

When compiling your ebook to a PDF, you can actually set your ebook to be print protected and copy protected meaning people will not be able to print your book or copy any text from the guide and that is why most ebook are given in PDF format.

Types Of Ebook

In my point of view, there are only two types of ebooks. One is normally written to be given away as a free gift and the other would be written to be sold as a product.

For a free book, it is always advisable to write at least 30 to 50 pages of content in the free guide to be given away. For the value of the book, you would want to give it according to the number of pages you have most of the time.

For example, if your free guide has 40 pages. You can give a value of US$40 for that free guide. The reason why you want to give a value to it because you do not want to give your readers a concept that the guide is totally free it has some value to it.

For a paid ebook, it would be much different and at most times you want to add as much content as possible to over deliver what you are trying to sell. For instant, Atomic Blogging is now selling at only US$47 which actually comes with 140 pages of real great content

That’s it for part 1 on tips on creating a sell-able ebook, in the next part of the article I will explaining more in depth about how do you sell your own ebook and much more.
