The sixth step in building an online
"store" that has the capacity to reach
a worldwide audience is to find
affiliate products.
Now, it is important
to listen closely: this means that you
don't need to have a product of your
own. You don't even need a website.
What you need is a deep sense of
what YOU are excited about, find a
group of people who are also excited,
and find a product or service that
you yourself use and love. Then
you can HONESTLY recommend
it to others.
Once you find such a good or
service, you can approach them
directly and ask if they have an
affiliate program. Or you can go
to a site like "Clickbank" and search
to find products with affiliate
programs. Sign up, and they will
give you a personalized link.
Here's a scenario for you: you are
dead broke. You love, say, chocolate.
You Google affiliate programs and
find your favorite chocolate confections,
sold on Clickbank. Sign up, get a link.
Now. Start a blog about chocolate,
"Steve's Chocolate Blog."
You're
dead broke, unemployed, so you have
lots of time, right? All you have to
leverage is your time and energy.
So every day you post articles on your
blog talking about wonderful things
about chocolate, and on that blog,
you put your affiliate link.
NOTE:
NONE OF THIS HAS COST YOU
A DIME.
Now. You spend a full eight-hour
day (or as little as one hour...or as
much as twelve. How much time
do you have? How desperate are
you to build a business?) googling
"candy blog" or "chocolate blog" or
other things, and you find a "starving
hive" of chocoholics and blogs and
discussion groups.
And you read
them, and post intelligent, useful
comments.
Funny comments.
NEVER "spam" by just dropping
a link. Give them value.
Give
them your heart. Share your
love of delicious chocolate with
no more than about fifty words.
Shouldn't take you more than
five-ten minutes per blog post.
With every post, add a link back
to YOUR blog. Traffic will follow.
On your blog, sing the honest
praises of the affiliate product,
and talk glowingly (AND
HONESTLY) about your
experiences with it.
People will
buy, if they believe you. NEVER LIE.
If you are self-published, then
this is more complicated: you
have to have a way to deliver
your product to the customer,
either digital download or mail.
And how to set up and take
electronic payments.
You will
have to research how to do these
things...Google is your friend.
You will make sales. Checks
will begin to arrive in your mailbox,
or Paypal account. And you have
invested NOTHING but time.
You didn't need a product, or a
web site.
You have just learned
the secret of making money
online, using nothing but your
passion, your time, and your
energy.
If you don't have internet
you can manage your blog from
a library or friend's house.
This works.
You can bootstrap
yourself from homelessness to
a multi-million dollar business,
just by starting here.
Also, commit
to learn one new thing about
sales, marketing, and the Internet
marketing revolution every day.
Every word I've posted here is true.
I've invested thousands of dollars
of time and money learning this
over the last twenty years, and
I've decided to give it away
because people are hurting, and
I want to give ANYONE with
the will to earn a living the
chance to take a shot at this.
Almost two billion people are
on the internet. Only a few
thousand people know how
to actually make money on it.
I've laid out the simplest way
I know, requiring no investment,
no computer skill, and nothing
but honesty and passion.
Good luck!
