The benefits of this are

1. You can get started almost immediately because you don’t have to create a product, write the sales page, design the website, develop marketing materials, or set up the ordering, billing & delivery system.
2. You have almost no investment of time because you don’t have to do the customer support or deal with billing or technical issues.
3. You have nearly zero risk because you already know the product sells. So if you send visitors you will get paid.

Looking at these benefits, it’s clear that affiliate marketing is the way to go!

The downside is…

After all your hard work of generating traffic to the sales page, you will never see any of those visitors again. Most of them will not buy on their first visit, which means you’re losing over 90% of the traffic right off the top. And of the 10% or less that do buy, the product owner will be able to sell to them again, but you will not.

What’s the solution?

Simply put, you need to capture the name and email of your visitors *before* sending them to the product sales page. This way you can follow up with them and keep sending them back to the sales page to increase your chances of making the sale. And if you’re really on top of your game, you’ll then send to a pre-sales page in between.

Here’s what these affiliate marketing strategies will do for you:

1. You’ll be building your own list of potential customers that you can market to again and again.
2. You’ll be pre-selling them by providing valuable information and then casually linking to the product sales page in the context of this information.

In order to set a system like this up, you will need the following affiliate marketing tools:

1. A Video Squeeze Page (with video)
2. One or more content-rich Pre-Selling Pages
3. At least a 5-Part Email Followup Series

The video squeeze page is where you’ll direct your traffic instead of directly to the product sales page. It captures the name and email of your visitors and puts them into your autoresponder, which then begins sending out the 5-part email series. Then it redirects them to your pre-selling pages after they subscribe to your email series.

All of this together increases your chances of making the sale by up to 500% so it’s well worth the effort of setting it up. And once it’s set up, it runs automatically - you just keep sending visitors to the squeeze page.

If you don’t have the time or expertise to set it all up yourself, you can use something like Affiliate Silver Bullet. Services like this design the enter system (the video, the video squeeze page, the email series, the content pages, etc). The benefit is that it’s much less expensive then you could do it yourself, and it’s instantly set up. The downside is that other people will be using the same affiliate tools as you. But the internet is pretty big, so this isn’t much of a concern.

The other route you can take is to hire people on Elance to create and implement the various aspects for you. Either way, it’s an important step that you need to take if you’re going to be serious about your business.

But first, let me ask you a question:

When you first started out in internet
marketing, did you convince yourself
that you’d be making a full-time income
and be living a life of luxury in next to
no time?

The reason I ask, is because many of
the hypey adverts you see out there
in the world of internet marketing…

They claim that you can become
a millionaire over night… earn a six
figure salary for just pushing a few
buttons… or spend all your time on
an exotic island sipping cocktails
whilst money floods into your paypal
account… etc.

What a load of nonsense!

If you’re anything like me then I’m
guessing by now you must be somewhat
jaded and skeptical by seeing so many
of these ridiculous claims…

…and came to the conclusion, as many
do, that internet marketing is actually
very hard!

Well… try to reign in the skepticism for
just a minute and let me tell you about
a guy called Lee McIntyre.

Because, to be honest, his story is
a little hard to believe…

You see, when Lee first started out
in internet marketing back in June 2007,
he had no list, no contacts, and no products.

Yet, in just 30 days, he was already making
a full-time income online ($7,230.95 to be
exact) and before the end of his second
month online, he’d already quit his job…

This reminds me of a line I heard in a film
the other day:

“Bullets have left guns slower than this!”

And in less than 6 months he was already
earning a hefty 6 figure salary online…

If you want to discover his remarkable
story and exactly how he’s done all this
then he explains all at the following
link:
Free Book

To your success,
Robert

P.S. The real secret to his mesmerisingly
quick success is actually due to the fact
that he does everything differently to most
of the internet “gurus” out there. He reveals
more in his story at the following link:

Free Book

I was reading this webpage about affiliate marketing…

…when I ran across this statement…

“Savvy super affiliates don’t settle for measly six-figure
incomes, they let others build their empire, making them
‘millions’ on autopilot…”

“…don’t SETTLE for measly six-figure incomes??!

Look, I know that we’re told to think BIGGER…

That our only limitations are the ones we impose on ourselves.

But most affiliates are NOT making six figure incomes.

In fact, most affiliates would KILL to make a six figure income.

So how is this guy telling us that we should forget about the six
figures, and go straight for SEVEN???

(No typo, that’s over a million dollars per YEAR.)

Well, I guess if anyone would know, it’s Eric.

He’s making over six figures per MONTH with affiliate marketing.

And he credits his success to the confidential information
revealed in “The Last Affiliate Secret”…

If you’re an affiliate, odds are you’re working too hard and
making too little money.

Did you know that there are oh-so-simple techniques you can
employ that will absolutely skyrocket your income?

Don’t think in terms of “gradually” earning more.

Start thinking in terms of DRAMATICALLY earning more in a very
short period of time by using the secret you’re about to learn.

And no, there’s nothing mystical or magical about this…

…but it is different from anything else you’ve ever read or
heard about in the world of affiliate marketing.

In fact, it goes against what the experts have been telling you
for YEARS.

There IS a massive shortcut to making big money.

And you can discover that shortcut…

…and start growing your income not in increments and bit by
bit…

…but EXPONENTIALLY, by leaps and bounds.

Robert

P.S. Sometimes the simplest answer is the one we overlook,
because it is so simple.

Like when your washing machine stops working.

You play with the dials.

You pull off the front panel and see if you can find the problem.

And then you call a repairman…

…who charges you $60 to plug your washing machine back into the
wall socket.

We’ve been overlooking the simple truth of how to make millions
in Affiliate marketing with less work than it takes to make
thousands.

Here’s that secret…

THE SECRET

At least… that’s how it’s supposed to be, right?

The truth is that mini sites really ARE easy to set
up. They really DON’T require much time, energy, and
money to set up. So why is it that so few people
actually make money with their mini sites?

The answer is that they never learned how to actually
turn their mini site into a profitable moneymaker that
runs completely on autopilot. The good news is…

*************************************************
YOU’RE ABOUT TO LEARN HOW TO DO IT!
*************************************************

Here’s what this is all about: My colleague Michael
Rasmussen has just released a brand new video course
that will walk you through the process of creating a
killer mini site from the ground up, and then he’ll
also teach you how to actually start making money with
it right away and into the future.

If you’ve been looking for help with monetizing your
mini sites, then this is exactly what you need. The
best part? The videos are FREE! I’ll tell you more
about that later. First, let’s talk about the videos
themselves.

If you’re in a hurry, you can just check the
videos out right now for free.

*************************************************
OVERALL QUALITY
*************************************************

It’s important to note that these are online videos
that you access from your web browser. Michael uses
Camtasia Studio to create these videos, which is the
premier software program for creating screen capture
tutorials such as these.

The first thing I noticed when I hit the play button
on the first video was the incredible production
quality. These are NOT your ordinary screen capture
videos. In fact, I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone
make videos that are this high quality before.

He uses beautifully created graphics to pass his
wisdom along to you, and the sound quality is the
highest you will ever hear in an Internet marketing
product. They sound like they were recorded in a
professional studio.

Michael explained to me that he was sick and tired of
seeing all the low quality videos out there, and so he
set out to create something different in order to
raise the bar in our industry. I think that, when you
see Mini Site Profits Exposed for yourself, you’ll
agree that he has succeeded.

Now let’s move onto…

*************************************************
THE ACTUAL VIDEOS
*************************************************

Here’s a brief summary of each video. Obviously
it’s impossible to list every single thing here,
but I want you to get a feel for what each one
covered, and how well it covered it.

VIDEO 1 - INTRODUCTION

This videos introduces you to the entire course, as
well as the teacher himself. You’ll learn what you can
expect from the course, and why it’s structured the
way it is.

Michael realizes that you may not have heard of him,
and so he spends some time establishing his
credibility with you by sharing some of his biggest
successes. It doesn’t come across as bragging at all.
Michael explains that, in order for you to get value
from the teachings, you need to have faith that the
teacher actually knows what he’s talking about. By the
end of this video, you will have no doubt.

By the way, this is a good lesson for all of us
product developers. If you want people to accept you
as an authority on any subject, you first need to
establish your credibility with the reader. That way
he’s willing to relax, and trust that what you’re
telling him is sound advice.

VIDEO 2 - THE BASICS

This video will introduce you to the basics of mini
site marketing. This will set the foundation that all
future learning will rest upon, so it’s important to
pay close attention to this one.

You’ll learn:

* What mini-sites are, and what makes them different
from regular content sites.

* Which businesses they work well for… and which ones
they don’t.

* The right mindset to have when it comes to creating
mini sites as part of your online business strategy.

* And the different tools you need to get started.

This was a great video, and did an excellent job of
kicking things off, and building the foundation for
the rest of the course.

VIDEO 3 - SQUEEZE PAGES

This is probably one of the most useful videos of the
entire course. Every Internet marketer needs to build
an email list, but how do you do it? What is the best
way to capture the most opt-ins?

The answer is ’squeeze pages’. This video will teach
you:

* Why using a squeeze page is far superior to other
opt-in methods.

* The single most important thing you must include at
the top of your squeeze page to skyrocket your opt-in
rate.

* The secret structure of a squeeze page, and why most
marketers get it wrong (which costs them a LOT of
money).

* The most important to include in your opt-in process
that will make sure that people actually receive your
email.

After watching this video, you’ll know everything you
need to know to start building a massive opt-in list
right away. This will probably be the first video that
you ‘take action’ on. You’ll be so excited about the
possibilities, that I guarantee you’ll go and create
your own squeeze page right away.

VIDEO 4 - MINI SITE COPYWRITING - PART
ONE

Nothing happens until the sales copy is written.
Graphics alone will never sell a product, but sales
copy alone WILL. This video begins to demystify the
mysterious process of writing words that make people
whip out their credit cards and buy.

Specifically, you’ll learn:

* Why you need to learn copywriting, even if you “hate
to write”

* What a compelling offer looks like, and how to tell
the difference.

* How to write an eyeball-grabbing headline that
practically forces your readers to go through your
entire page.

* A simple trick you can use in your opening to make
your reader want to learn more.

There is no skill that is more important to your
success than the ability to write killer sales copy.
Make sure you pay extra attention to this video, as
well as…

VIDEO 5 - MINI SITE COPYWRITING - PART
TWO

This video dives right into the individual components
of a killer sales letter. You’ll learn how to create
the “secret structure” of a mini site sales letter
that makes big money. Specifically, you’ll learn:

* How to create captivating body copy that draws your
reader into the sales letter.

* Bullets that force your reader to keep reading the
whole page, and makes them insanely curious and want
to buy your product

* How to take the risk off people’s shoulders, so
they’ll feel safe buying from you.

* How to craft your ‘call to action’, and get people
to whip out their credit cards and buy immediately.

* The secrets of writing a killer P.S. that helps seal
the deal, and flip your prospect into a buyer
instantly.

This video covered a surprising amount of detail,
especially considering that this course is not
specifically about copywriting. Michael Rasmussen is
definitely someone who overdelivers in his educational
products.

VIDEO 6 - HOW TO AUTOMATE THE
DELIVERY OF YOUR INFOPRODUCT

Unless you want to be chained to your computer, you
must learn how to put your mini sites on autopilot.
The only thing you should be doing is driving traffic,
and letting the site itself do all the work, including
the work of instantly delivering the product to the
customer.

This video will walk you through the process of
automating your product delivery, so you can just
relax, and collect the money. The best part is… once
you have this automated system set up, you never have
to touch it again.

VIDEO 7 - HOW TO “GROW” YOUR SALE

This video is guaranteed to be an eye opener for
almost everyone who watches it, even the experienced
marketers. Michael dives into some of the most
effective ‘upselling’ techniques that I’ve ever seen.

Nowhere else on the Internet have I seen such a
thorough tutorial on how to increase the ’size’ of
your orders. You’ll learn:

* The psychology of ‘upselling’, and how to use it
make your customer spend even more money with you.
The best part? He’ll think it was his idea!

* The absolute best time to upsell your customer. This
one will surprise you when you realize how much money
you’ve been leaving on the table by skipping this
step.

* 5 simple techniques to increase your profit by up to
100%.

If you’ve already got a mini site that’s up and
running, this video will make a big difference for you
right away. Use any of these ‘plug and profit’
strategies to increase your income literally
overnight!

VIDEO 8 - CREATING AN AFFILIATE SALES
FORCE

If there’s one thing I’ve noticed that all successful
marketers have in common, it’s that they have a great
affiliate program. They create a program that allows
other people to make good money by promoting their
products, and they get to just sit back and relax,
while everyone else is doing the hard work of
promoting FOR them.

If you’ve ever dreamed of having an army of motivated
sales people working hard to make you money, then
you’re going to love this video. Michael will teach
you:

* What an affiliate program is, and how to set one up
very quickly.

* Exactly what tools you need to give your affiliates
(most people miss the mark here, so pay extra
attention to this part).

* Why merely having an affiliate program is NOT enough
to convince people to sign up, and what you can do
instead to have people eagerly trying to become one of
your affiliates.

* How to motivate affiliates to sell for you.

VIDEO 9 - MINI SITE MISTAKES TO AVOID

Let’s face it… it’s not enough to explain what you
should do. You also need to know what mistakes you
should avoid. Michael has already made these costly
mistakes, but you don’t have to. You’ll learn:

- Why people do judge a book by its cover… and how to
capitalize on that for your mini-site

- The single biggest reason people don’t buy from a
mini site, and how you can apply this ‘instant fix’.

- The single biggest thing that will kill your
mini-site (it’s not what you think, and making this
mistake is a surefire way to drain money from your
bank account FAST!)

- Two list building mistakes that’ll cripple your
long-term profits.

VIDEO 10 - SECRETS OF CREATING A
PRODUCT FUNNEL

This video will walk you through the process of
designing a product line that will make you a TON of
money. There’s a lot more to it than you’d think,
which is why this important concept (which was taken
from direct marketing) gets it’s own video.

After watching this video, you’ll understand why you
can’t just have a single front end product, and you’ll
know exactly what to do in order to get your customer
to keep buying more and more expensive products from
you… completely on autopilot!

This video is a MUST for any serious marketer who
wants to make a lot of money from their online
business.

VIDEO 11 - OUTSOURCING SECRETS FOR
WORKING LESS, AND MAKING MORE

The title of this video says it all. You’ll learn
all of Michael’s secrets for getting top notch
freelancers to help you create your mini site empire
in record time.

Let’s face it, you can’t be an expert at everything
that mini sites require. For example, it’s really
tough to be a top notch graphic designer, while also
mastering HTML, and then becoming a killer
copywriter, on top of also creating the product
itself.

And the list goes on and on. If you want to be
efficient, and begin making money as fast as
possible, outsourcing is the secret to making it
happen. This video will show you exactly what to do,
as well as some common (and very expensive) pitfalls
to avoid.

VIDEO 12 - OUTSOURCING SECRETS FOR
WORKING LESS, AND MAKING MORE

Let’s face it… it doesn’t matter how great your
mini site is if you don’t get any traffic coming to
it. Getting traffic can be one of the most confusing
and mysterious parts of making money online IF you
don’t get the proper education.

Thankfully, Michael really dives in, and gives you a
lightning fast education in this area. Specifically,
you’ll learn:

* How to use Pay Per Click (PPC) advertising to get
targeted traffic fast.

* 3 ways to get targeted traffic without spending a
dime.

* 2 ways to leverage the experience and contacts of
other people to explode your traffic.

* 3 traffic strategies to avoid like the plague!

By the time you’re done with this video, you’ll know
what to do right away to begin driving targeted
visitors to your mini site.

THAT RUNS COMPLETELY ON AUTOPILOT
*************************************************

This deluxe video could easily be a whole course in
itself. It walks you though the entire process of
setting up a back end that is completely automated
using an autoresponder system.

You’ll learn how to set up your autoresponder to
automatically remove a person from your prospect list
after he buys, and then insert him into your customer
list. This is where your new autoresponder sequence
will start promoting your back end products
automatically.

Bottom line… if you want to make the big bucks like
all the Internet marketing gurus, you need to create a
back end that works hard for you while you’re out
creating new mini sites and developing new products.
This video will show you how.

*************************************************
VIDEO 14 - LIST BUILDING SECRETS
*************************************************

In this deluxe video, Michael will walk you through
some of his best tactics for growing a massive list
from your mini site. He’ll not only teach you what to
add to your mini site, but he’ll also show you what
you must REMOVE from your mini site in order to get
the most possible subscribers.

Building a list is about SO much more than just
offering a free newsletter. In fact, Michael shows you
five different things you can offer your readers to
get them to instantly give you their name and email.

You’ll also learn the best places to actually put the
opt-in email form on your mini site. You’ll also learn
about pop ups and tell-a-friend scripts, as well as a
bunch of other incredible tactics for growing your
list.

I have a hunch that you’ll find yourself referring to
this video over and over again.

*************************************************

Tony was overworked…
Underpaid…
And then he lost his job.

Did I mention he was $105,678.27 in debt?

Ouch.

Today his debts are paid off and he lives in a new home, with new
cars, and no financial worries.

That’s not the interesting part, though.

When he first tried to make money online, he couldn’t even use a
computer.

Yet he made $4,827.53 in his first three days.

How?

By following a system proven to work.

His teacher makes $250,000 a month, working about an hour a day
using this same system.

Hard to believe, but true.

His teacher is a bit reclusive.

Tony’s not.

He’s ready to spill his guts to you.

You need no special skills…

And it takes a couple of hours to set up.

You won’t get rich overnight…

But you will make money.

Watch a video of Tony making his money by clicking here…

…and scrolling down to the video link (look for Tony’s
picture.)

One last thing:

This isn’t the same old regurgitated info.

This is the EXACT step-by-step audio crash course that will teach
you how to make the kind of money Tony and his teacher are now
making.

It’s over 12 hours of electrifying, “rock-your-world-like-never-
before” instruction on how to do exactly what Tony is doing.

Bottom line, it works.

And in Tony’s words, if he can do it, you can do it.

Robert

P.S. When Tony set out to make money online, HE DID NOT KNOW HOW
TO TURN ON THE COMPUTER or surf the Internet.

Since you’re reading this online, I’m going to guess that you
already know more than Tony did when he started.

Yet he’s making money hand over fist.

Are you?

If Tony can do it, YOU can do it.

My readers are pretty shook up by the implications of what’s happening to Internet marketers everywhere. One or two innocent mistakes, and we can lose EVERYTHING.

Even our homes.

And it doesn’t matter if we’re losing money on the Internet, or making millions. We’re all just as vulnerable if we don’t take action to protect ourselves.

Michael E. Young, J.D., LL.M. Attorney & Counselor at Law has published a book written just for you, the Internet marketer.

In it, he shows you…

…what to watch out for,

…what mistakes you’re already making,

…how to fix them.

And he shows you how to protect yourself from…

…criminal prosecution,

…civil judgments,

…fines,

…bankruptcy,

…and even court orders barring you from conducting any type of business on the Internet ever again.

Here are some of the secrets you will learn in Michael’s book…

–How to set up your online business so that your personal assets, bank accounts, cars and home are safe from lawsuits.

–How to stop your web designer from stealing your online business.

–How to protect yourself from lawsuits and theft when doing joint ventures.

–How to avoid being sued, fined, or jailed because of the e-mails you send to your lists.

–What you must have on your websites to keep the government from filing criminal charges against you.

–How to protect your stuff from getting stolen.

–How to grow your online business by having others do the work and PAY YOU for it.

A paltry investment can make the difference between having a bright and prosperous future, or losing your good name, your business, your assets, and even your freedom.

You know what you need to do.

P.S. Most of the Internet millionaires have their own lawyers looking out for their every move, because they don’t want to lose everything in the blink of an eye. That’s because even the mightiest marketer with the fattest bank account can end up homeless or in jail. And if they’re vulnerable, what about you?

It Is Worth A Look!

PS: You can check out Part 1 HERE

Regards!

Their bank accounts, cars, homes and even their freedoms are at risk.

And not because they’re criminals, but because they’re honest business people making small mistakes with huge repercussions.

Here are some questions that I thought you should see…

Q. I don’t have to worry about this legal stuff until I’m making a lot of money, right?

A. Wrong. It doesn’t matter how much you’re earning. If something goes wrong and you get sued, you can lose everything you own, including your home, cars and bank account.

Q. Who is the author and does he know what he’s talking about?

A. The author is Attorney Mike Young. He has an advanced international law degree from Georgetown University and over 11 years of experience at representing Internet businesses and protecting their owners.

Q. What can happen to me if I’m caught making a mistake, even an unintentional one?

A. You could face criminal prosecution, civil judgments, fines, bankruptcy, and even a court order barring you from conducting any type of business on the Internet ever again.

Q. But this is in theory, right? No one is actually going to jail, right?

A. Wrong. Marketers have gone to jail recently, and others have left the country to avoid prosecution, sometimes only one step ahead of the law. And these aren’t bad people, they simply made a mistake or two, like choosing the wrong business entity, or sending emails to their lists that didn’t exactly comply with the laws.

There are many pitfalls to avoid when working online. If you know what they are, and how to take the appropriate counter-measures, you’re out of harm’s way.

But what you don’t know can get you in a world of hurt.

It appears that more lawsuits are being filed right now in this decade than in all of history combined.

And more criminal charges are being filed now than ever before.

Don’t leave yourself, your business, your home and family exposed.

Find out what you need to know now, before it’s too late.

Robert

P.S. I know we always think, “It can’t happen to me.”
But it can.
Not protecting yourself and your business is like playing Russian roulette.
Play long enough, and sooner or later, there will be a bullet in that chamber with your name on it.

Everything is going well in your Internet marketing venture.

Money is flowing…
Your business is growing…

And then…

WHAM!!

Your business (and your LIFE) is devastated because of a small legal error you made.

Think it can’t happen?

Internet businesses are being attacked daily.

Lawsuits are filed by the government and private individuals.

Marketers are facing criminal prosecution, civil judgments, fines, bankruptcy, and even court orders barring them from conducting any type of business on the Internet ever again.

Why?

Because these Internet marketers made one or two simple mistakes in the way they did business.

For example, have you ever done a joint venture? If so, you almost certainly exposed yourself to the possibility of lawsuits, theft, and even government investigations.

But if you have the right protections in place, you’re safe.

What about your business’ legal identity?

If you’re using the wrong business structure (and most Internet marketers are) you’re personally liable if you get sued. This means you can lose your savings, your car, and even your home.

Do you do business around the world?

It’s actually illegal to do business with some companies and individuals. Not knowing who they are is no excuse, either. You can be CRIMINALLY prosecuted by the government simply for having the wrong customers. Don’t become an accidental felon.

In last month’s column we talked about why informational products are the best type of products to sell online. An informational product can be a digital book (known as an e-book), a digital report or a white paper, a piece of software, audio or video files, a web site, an ezine (electronic magazine), or a newsletter.

Any product that’s informational, instructional, or educational in nature can be considered an info product.

If you missed last month’s column you should read it first so that you have a thorough understanding of what we’ll be discussing this month, which is how to create your own info product.

As covered in detail last month, here are a few of the reasons why information is the best product to sell online:

• It’s fast to create, fast to market
• There’s no inventory to stock
• The startup costs are low
• You can automate the sales and delivery process
• There are no shipping and handling charges

One of the best things about information products is that you don’t need a product designer or a manufacturing plant to crank out the goods. You also don’t have to spend months and months doing product development.

If you have a computer and a word processing program you have everything you need to create a best-selling info product in a very short amount of time.

Great, you say, but I’m no writer. How the heck can I get into the information business? The good news is you don’t have to be a great writer to create a great info product. If you don’t have the ability to create the product yourself there are several avenues you can take to info product success.

Co-author with a writer
In my opinion, expert knowledge is much harder to come by than great writing skills. If you are an expert on a subject that people will pay to learn about, you just need a good writer to take your expert knowledge and put it in a saleable form.

I know many subject matter experts who can’t write their names in the snow and many excellent writers who don’t have the expert knowledge required to create an informational product that will sell. Co-authoring can be a match made in Heaven if an equitable co-authoring arrangement can be made. Co-authoring means that you both get credit for creating the product and share in the revenues.

If you are an expert on a topic, but not a writer, find a writer to co-author the project with you. Conversely, if you’re a writer without specific knowledge, find a subject matter expert and partner with them to create the product.

Hire a ghost writer
A ghost writer is someone who will write the ebook for you anonymously, with the writing credits going solely to you. You supply the expertise and guidance and the ghost writer puts it in a readable format. You can hire ghost writers on an hourly basis or for a flat fee, depending on the scope of the project.

There is no shame in using a ghost writer to put your thoughts to digital paper. You don’t really think all those pro athletes and Hollywood actresses can write 300 page books now, do you?

Sign on with an affiliate program and sell their info products
There are thousands of companies that sell informational products and most have affiliate programs that you can sign on with. Becoming an affiliate basically means you become a reseller of the company’s products. You promote the product, you make the sale, the company delivers the product, and you earn a commission.

For more on affiliate programs see my column from earlier this year.

The key to creating a successful info product is this: the information must be worth far more than the price of the ebook itself. If you’re charging $27 for your product, it must give the buyer many times that price in perceived value.

I asked info product expert Jim Edwards, co-Author of “How To Write and Publish Your Own eBook in as little a 7 Days” for his advice on how to create a killer info product.

Here are Jim’s Top 5 Tips:

• Niche It - Make sure you are targeting a highly defined niche audience… don’t try to sell to everyone. You can get a lot more money showing life insurance agents how to find more customers to buy $250,000 policies than you can trying to sell a product on generic sales skills improvement.
• Hit Their Pain - Make sure your info product hits a painful problem that members of your target audience will do just about ANYTHING to solve. The more intense the pain, the more they’re willing to pay to get rid of it.
• Give Them A Taste - Give people a taste of what you offer in your info-product by giving them a sample. Just like the wholesale clubs get you to buy tater-tots in a 50 lb. bag by giving you one to try, you can induce people to buy your information by letting them read the first chapter or listen to the first few minutes of an audio.
• Entertain Them - People hate to be bored. Increase the power of your product by adding humor, drama and other entertainment elements that make them want more and more. This will not only help with future sales to satisfied customers, it will also keep your refunds down and increase word of mouth advertising.
• Keep it Evergreen - Don’t make the mistake of creating a product that hits a fad or a fleeting market. Create info-products that can be updated with very little effort. This allows you to create a product once and keep the sales rolling in for years (literally) to come!

Here’s to your success!
