The Product - Digital

Today we will talk about the product. There are several products to consider, but I will only discuss:

Digital Products:

You can develop your own digital product and add it to Affiliate websites like Click Bank or JvZoo.

Affiliates will start to market and send potential buyers to your sales page.  When you make a sale you pay these Affiliates commissions. The trend lately is that you pay the affiliates 100% commission and you make your money on the back-end. This means when the affiliates send potential buyers to your sales page you capture their email addresses and start sending them a new offer.

Now that they are on your list you can send them hundreds of offers. The Guru's say you send offers till they buy or remove themselves from your list.

You must keep in mind, to develop your own product can be expensive and time consuming and if it is not a unique product you will not find any Affiliates promoting your product.

Without Affiliates promoting you will not make a dime and waste a lot of money, time and energy.

The alternative is to be an Affiliate yourself and sell other people's products. You will find these products at Affiliate programs like Click Bank and JvZoo to mention only two.

Now you will get the commission when someone buy the product after clicking on your promotion link. A lot of people are making a lot of money as Affiliates and it is a very cheap way to start your online business but that being said it is not easy to start as a Affiliate these days.

There are hundreds of successful Affiliates spending "big bucks" promoting affiliate products. They also have hundreds even thousands of people on their list. To send a offer to 10,000 people you can bet that some will buy the product.

For a newbie or anyone without a list and/or money it is not easy to "break" into this market and start to make sales. People will tell you Affiliate marketing is the way to start but believe you me, it is not easy and it is very very competitive.

The bad thing about promoting someone else's product is the fact that the owner of the product can remove it any time without warning while you still running advertising promoting the product.

The next option is actually a mix (or combination) of your own product and Affiliate marketing. It is called PLR products.

PLR products ares products develop by someone else, you then buy the product as well as all the rights to the product. This now puts you in a position to re-brand the product and market it as your own.

There are hundreds of  PLR websites selling products but some are selling just useless products. Products so bad you cannot use them in any way. There are also excellent products available. You will have to search and try and find the best sites.

If you see a PLR website banner on this blog you can trust that website as a site offering very good PLR products. If you do not see one now, bookmark, and come back later. I will do research and get a good PLT website to put their banner here.

The last option - and this is my favorite option - is membership websites. Example of Membership Websites are Aweber and Host Gator. Membership websites are those where you pay monthly to enjoy the benefits they offer. When you send potential customers to a membership website and they join you will earn part of the monthly payment as a commission as long as they stay members.

Why I like this option is unlike your own product or Affiliate products with membership websites you can and will earn monthly commissions as long as your referral stays a member. This means you send people to the website, using your link, they join and you will earn month after month.

Just keep in mind, when I talk about Membership Websites, I am not talking about those matrix websites. Matrix websites are totally different and I will not even discuss it here.

When joining a membership program there are certain things you need to keep in mind.

You want to see a contact number (telephone) on the website as well as a "Contact Us" button. You also want to see the products they offer because you want to add value to your customer. The best products are normally needed Internet tools like: Splash Page Builder, Autoresponder, Ad Tracker, URL Rotator, Contact Manager, Training and at least one or two income streams, The more tools you have in one place the better your offer to a potential costumer and by offering a complete set of tools the most likely that they will join.

It is not easy to find trusted Membership Programs but if you see a Banner on this Blog offering some or all or even more of the tools mentioned you can trust that website.

I hope this helps to identify which product you want to use to start your online business and earn for years to come month after month.

Thank you
