Creating A Sales Tsunami To Your Business
I have been affiliate marketing online, on and off for about a year or two now. My system is probably very similar to 99% of other affiliates, You know the deal, research a market, find a product to promote, research the competition, research keywords, then try and drive traffic and hope for conversions.
Obviously, that's a broad brush stroke, over the basic first steps one might take as an affiliate. If you dig a little deeper, you'll soon realize there are many other factors to think about. Things like, are you direct linking, or creating your own landing page? What about tracking and analytics? Where is your traffic coming from - PPC, SEO or web 2.0 or a combination of these?
My intention with this article is to discuss how one makes that step up, from an affiliate marketer, to a product creator or vendor if you like, rather than going through the processes involved to becoming a successful affiliate marketer. As I said previously, I have been an affiliate marketer and had some success, but I can see that is not where the big bucks are. Don't get me wrong, affiliate marketing can be, and is, an excellent way to make money online. It's a great method, and probably the easiest, most popular way for beginners to get started.
Although there is one thing that all the popular Internet Marketing Guru's share - They've created and developed their own products. So, these guys are considered or perceived as authority figures in their market or niche and are followed online by thousands. So setting yourself up in a position as an authority figure is important and it would greatly benefit your cause if you could create your own products too.
There is no doubt that there can be a lot of competition amongst affiliates, just take a look at Clickbank. Every Tom, Dick and Harry is shown Clickbank as a starting point for their affiliate marketing career. I don't need to tell you how many "Clickbank Affiliate Courses" there are out there, you can imagine how many newbies would be signing up every day.
Now imagine if you had your own product on Clickbank, your potentially going to have hundreds of affiliates being exposed and hopefully signing up to promote it. Can you see the potential? You create the product, and other people (potentially hundreds) try and sell it for you. The creation of one product can generate income for years to come. To this day, there are big name marketers still making money, from affiliates selling a product they created years ago.
You can have your 9 to 5 daily grind, I'm over it. I'm ready to take my online business to the next level, by creating my own product. Yes I admit it, it's easier said than done, but with experience comes knowledge. Change your mind set, start thinking about creating your own product, back yourself and have the confidence to believe you can do it.
