Selling your own products

When starting your own online business you will probably not have your own product so the next best thing to do is sell a product made by others.If you sell you get a commission.This is affiliate marketing.

As you build your list of email subscribers you can then move to Private Lable Rights or PLR products which are information products that someone else has written but which you can change and then sell as if you had written them.

These tend to be ebooks of 20-30 pages in length.You set the price and you get all on the money not 50% as is the case with most affiliate products.

My experience is that you offer one PLR product for sales and then have a pop up lightbox appear on your sales page after 10 seconds, which offers another PLR product for free.You will get many more email subscribers grabbing your free ebook than buying your paid product.BUT you will be growing your list.

This will in time become your most valuable asset.

In the meantime grab Tony Shepperd’s freebie“Quit Your Job in 90 days” ebook.It’s what got me started.

PS I’ve now sold two PLR ebooks,not many I know but all the greats started here.

Autorepsonders

Building a list is of course the most important thing if you want to make money online.

For that you will need an autoresponder.Trying to work with Outlook will just not work if you want to track conversions and avoid having your emails going straight into your reader’s junk mail folder.

All autorepsonders have a spam check which will which check your email before they go out and give the email a points score .The higher the number the greater the risk of going to the junk folder.

I have found that the quickest way to build a list is to offer a free product,usually an ebook 20 to 30 pages long.

In exchange for the ebook your reader gives you their email address and thus they get added to your list.

The best way I think to offer the ebook is with a lightbox pop up.This is a pop up which appears 10 seconds or so after your sales page is loaded.When it pops up the rest of the page darkens so the reader is compelled to read the pop up.

Keep your message short and tell them to sign up.That is your most wanted response so tell them where to put their email even though to you it’s blindingly obvious.

I would recommend Aweber as it has  great array of webforms which include pop ups that you can customize.

Once you’ve got the form you want,you copy the code and add it to you main sales page.

I would recommend a ten second delay before the pop up appears,this gives your reader time to at least scan your sales page headline before the pop up appears.

Try it and your list will grow quickly.

Affiliate Success

Well I have got my first sale on Clickbank so it it time to reveal the training I have been following to build an online business.

It is a great feeling when you get that first sale.All that hard work is finally starting to pay off.

Now that first sale may not seem like very much and certainly won’t be enough to quit the day job,but in many ways it will be the most important sale of your online career.It proves that you can do it.

All that is required now is the repeat the process that got you that sale,so that it increases to a level that matches or beats your current monthly income.Then sack the boss!.

So anyway, the course I have been following is the Kickstart Course by Tony Sheperd.You can get it here

The link actually gives you three other freebies as well as the opportunity to sign up for the Kickstart course on a 14 day trial for $1.For that $1 you get the first for lessons for free.If you like the system after the 14 days you are billed $27 per month.The course last for 12 months,so you get 52 lessons.

Tony’s program is a weekly pdf file delivered to your inbox,each one packed with information on how to build an online business.How to find a niche,how to build a sales page and drive traffic to it.Each lesson gives you real hands on advice of how to perform a task on a click by click basis.Lots of screenshots,which I like.

So many online business building course give only vague instructions on how to do something leaving you scratching your head.Not this course.I have created 4 sales pages and an autorepsonder follow up system that is getting me traffic and now sales.All this from Tony’s training.

So try the Kick Start course now.It works for me.Click here for instant access.
