How to Make Money Online Without a Website or Creating a Product

Special Announcement for Internet Marketers and online
entrepreneurs!

Did You Know you can make a lot of money without a website or product?

Do you struggle to choose an affiliate program for your
website. This picture reminds me of myself after building a
website and driving traffic to the website only to find out
that I cannot monetize the traffic.

I learned the steps of creating HTML pages, optimizing the
websites for search engines and driving tons of traffic to
the website, but I could not monetize my traffic. I tried
numerous things. I put different affiliate links tried
positioning the links in different places. I tried
different font sizes and pop-up windows. I thought that the
affiliate programs that I tried just did not convert and
just did not know what to do next. I could build websites
and drive traffic to them but I could not monetize my
traffic. I nearly quit and my dreams of becoming an online
entrepreneur almost completely shattered.

One day I almost gave up my internet business up when I
decided that I would find a way that works and monetize my
traffic. I sat and brainstormed ideas. Suddenly the
solution appeared in my head. I needed to ask my visitors.

An example of how to do it with the exact steps required
follows next. Use an opt in form on your website where you
offer your visitor some kind of free newsletter or course
or download. On your first or second email to your
newsletter subscriber you simply need to ask them what
products will suit them best. Send your newsletter
subscriber an email like this:

Subject: [[firstname]], Thank You

Hi [[firstname]]

I would like to introduce myself. I run the website
[[yourwebsite]].

In the interest of serving my visitor’s need better I would
like to know your most important concern of affiliate
marketing? Can you please take 30 seconds to reply to this
email so that I can develop products and services that will
help to serve you better.

Kind Regards [[Yourname]]

After obtaining the necessary information from your email
you need to select the affiliate program that you will use
on your website. You can use Clickbank and Commission
Junction to look for a reputable affiliate program. You need to
ensure that a significant portion of their income must come
from their affiliates which will mean that the affiliate
program converts and it should also pay at least 50%
commission so that you can earn decent commissions. Finally
try to use a fairly well established company to ensure that
it will not easily go out of business and you will not lose
your affiliate commissions.

After making your list of top affiliate programs I suggest
testing the links on your website and choose the best
performing affiliate program.

Using these steps you can pick a highly profitable
affiliate program that will bring you profits for years to
come.

Part 2: How to create a best selling product

If you’d  to create best selling products online. Looking for ways on how you can create compelling and best-selling products that you can sell to online users? Would you rather sell your own creations than sink you teeth into affiliate marketing? Then, let me share with you the 4 great ways on how you can excel at internet product creation:

1. Define your audience. This is the first thing that you need to do the moment you decide to give product creation a try. You need to get to know online users or the people you are serving to make it much easier for you to create products that they will truly appreciate. Ask yourself; are you targeting men, women, or both? What is their age, social status, educational background, and occupation? What are their pressing issues, questions, needs, and demands? What is their buying power? How often do they go online? Are they desperate buyers, freebie seekers, or somewhere in between? The more you know about these people, the higher your chances of creating products that are not only compelling but extremely useful as well.

2. Develop product ideas. Once you have a solid idea about your customers, you’ll easily be able to figure out the products that they will be willing to spend their money on. If these people are suffering from weight gain and they are desperate in looking for products or information on how they can lose their unwanted pounds, you can easily create information products about weight loss or you can sell exercise equipment and diet supplements.

3. Check on your competitors. Get to know the people that you are up against. Understand their product creation strategies, the marketing tools that they are using, the quality of products they offer, etc. As they say, you can easily win the battle if you know your enemy by heart. Ensure that you take your product creation efforts to the next level to easily get ahead of the pack.

4. Go with products that require low initial investment. If you are just like any new marketers, I am sure you don’t want to spend too much money on your products unless you are assured that you’ll get your ROI (return on investment). Thus, I highly recommend that you create digital products that will not burn your pockets but can offer you with great financial returns so you can boost your earnings from this endeavor.

Next: Part 3 - Make money without a website or creating a product

Traditional business owners are familiar with target markets, but for many multilevel marketers the concept of focusing sales efforts on a select group of people is a new one. After all, haven’t most of us have been told by our companies that EVERYONE is our target market?

Well, everyone is NOT your target market. Identifying who is will allow you to focus your sales efforts and can mean the difference between success and frustration.

Who is Your Target Market?

Simply stated, your target market consists of people who already have a perceived need or desire for your product.

Notice the words “already” and “perceived”.

It doesn’t matter if people really need your product or not. Nor does it matter if YOU think they need your product. The only thing that matters is that THEY think they need it.

The real key, however, is to find people who ALREADY want whatever it is you are selling. Trying to convince someone that they need your product is a huge mistake that usually ends up with a lost sale - and your potential customer running the other way! Remember: people love to buy, but they hate to be sold!

Finding People Who Want Your Product

To find people who want your product:

1. Brainstorm. Start by making a list of the groups of people who would most likely want your product. If you are selling high-end kitchen items, for example, you might think of brides-to-be and gourmet cooks. Brides-to-be are setting up housekeeping and are likely to be looking for kitchen items while gourmet cooks might be interested in upgrading to higher-end products.

Once you have your list, narrow it down to find the one group that is most likely to purchase from you or is the most cost-effective to advertise to.

For example, if you are selling your kitchen products through home parties that give discounts or free gifts for the host or hostess, your best bet might be brides-to-be since they tend to be younger “party- oriented” people looking for both kitchen items and for discounts. They are also likely to have friends who are newly weds or brides-to-be so, in addition to selling your products, there is a good chance you will get additional bookings from their parties.

2. Look for people who have purchased your product or a similar product in the past. People who have purchased a particular product in the past are the most likely people to purchase that product again. So, if you’re selling vitamins, look for people who have purchased vitamins in the past and so on.

One good way to find such people is to check out your competitors. If, for example, a major competitor is slanting their advertising to young male executives, (they advertise in magazines that are read by young male executives or run ads targeting this particular group) this tells you that young male executives are purchasing the type of product you sell.

3. Follow-up with your customers. Your previous customers have not only purchased your product in the past - they purchased it from YOU. And, they are the most likely people to purchase that product from you again. They will also refer others to you - IF they don’t forget you! So regular follow-up with your customers can pay off handsomely!

A great way to follow up with your customers is by sending them greeting cards. You can do this for birthdays, holidays, anniversaries - or just to occasionally say hello and wish them a great day. (There is a fabulous on-line service that I personally use to do this, and you can sign up for it for free. To learn more about it just send me an e-mail at the address listed below.)

Directing Your Sales Efforts

Once you have identified your target market the next step is to direct your sales efforts to that particular group.

Using the example of brides-to-be, you may wish to advertise in publications that target brides or leave flyers with people who regularly do business with that particular group such as cake decorators or wedding photographers. These are also great people to help you find the best ways to reach your target market since they are likely to have experience reaching out to that particular market themselves.

Follow these steps and you should be on your way to successfully marketing your products.
