Are you planning to start an Internet business?

To earn a lot of money online you need to do two things – find a product that sells and find people to help you sell it. Lets now look at how best you can do this…

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

Giving affiliates a reason to promote your product is the first issue that you need to consider. There are two main ways to persuade them 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.

Another solution (the most common) is to contact the top affiliates in your niches and send them your product for free. Then, ask them to promote it if they like it. Make sure that you follow up because super affiliates receive dozens of joint venture offers per day.

2. Create a powerful 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.

An example of a sales funnel is as follows…

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.

The above example is based on a visitor who always goes for your upsell, for those who don’t purchase your upsell, you would implement a different path until he becomes a buyer.

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.

As a final point about the affiliate recruitment and sales funnel process in general – keep it simple. Many people want to make their product perfect right from the start but, most of the time, those people will never be able to complete their project because it is too complex.

This is good advice, and I have personally used the tactics set out in this article to market my own products. I’ve created many products and websites in the Internet marketing niche, and other niche markets as well.
