Good Ezines

If you want to earn a lot of money online, you need to use leverage. You do not want to sell your product alone. So, how do you go about doing this?

1. Recruit an affiliate army that sells your product day and night

The first question you need to ask yourself if you really want to make it big is – how do I get affiliates to promote my products? 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.

The second approach, which is the most common, is to send the top affiliates in your niche a free review copy of your product. 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.

Here is an example of a powerful sales funnel:

Your visitor signs up for a free report and are then redirected to an $37 upsell. After that, he receives an email series promoting a $97 product. After that series of emails, or when he makes that purchase, he is sent a new series of emails that promote an even higher priced product, and so on.

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.

Affiliates will send more traffic your way when they realize how powerful your marketing funnel is and how much money they make with your products compared to the competition.

Finally, try not to over complicate the whole process. 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 good advice, and I have personally used the tactics set out in this article to market my own products. Whatever niche or niches that you happen to be in, this approach works equally as well.
