Own Product
Promoting products as an affiliate can bring you a good income but having your own product will bring you an even bigger income. By creating your own product you can promote other products within your product and make further sales through these ‘backend’ products.
When choosing a topic to create your product you should write a list of what your interests and hobbies are. You can write more easily about a topic that you already have knowledge of.
You want to offer your readers good, quality information if you want to gain respect as an expert in your field so always make sure when creating a product that you do give good quality.
Often you may just not know where to start in writing an ebook and it is a good idea to do a little research into creating your own ebook. Affiliate Explosion is one of the best resources as it covers creating your own products as well as all the methods of marketing your product in great detail.
Having your own website
If you have your own product you really need to have your own website to promote it. Never use a free website for promoting your own product as it really looks unprofessional and you will definately get more sales by having a professional sales page hosted on a website that has paid hosting.
Paid hosting really isn’t that expensive and I highly recommend getting a web host with an unlimited domain hosting offer. Hostgator are one of the best and you can have unlimited domains hosted for just $9.95 a month, you will easliy make that back with your sales.
You want to have a good sales page too that will really ’sell’ your product so look around at other sales pages for similar products to yours and pick out the best bits from each sales page.
Get yourself some good graphics too for your sales page including an Ebook ecover. You can outsource this to a graphic designer or you can often pick up cheap or even free PLR graphic packages.
