Yes! You Can Make Money Online Without Your Own Product Or Service!
By Liz Tomey
Many people are lead to believe that the only way to make money online is to have their own product or service. If you believe this, you have been misinformed! There is a wonderful way to make money online without having anything of your own to sell, and that’s via affiliate marketing.
Affiliate marketing is when you are selling a product that belongs to another person or company and they pay you a certain commission for selling their product. There are basically two types of products that you can promote as an affiliate marketer. They are physical and digital products. A physical product will be one that will be shipped to the customer, and a digital product will be one that the customer will be able to download.
From my personal experience, I have made more money as an affiliate for digital products than I have from physical products. The commissions are usually higher (between 50-75%), and I make more sales. So, all around I am making much more money with digital products.
However, there are many affiliate marketers who make a lot of money as an affiliate for those selling physical products. The commissions are usually lower, but the price tags for the products are usually more expensive.
My advice is to look at both digital and physical products and decide what route you want to take. There’s also nothing wrong with being an affiliate for both physical and digital products. By doing this you can even test what makes you the most money, and focus your marketing on the one that makes you the most money.
If you are promoting digital products, there are some great places online to find products that you can instantly sign up to promote for free. Places like Click Bank and Pay Dot Com are the two best places to find digital products that you can promote. They have all products broken up into easy to search categories to help you find exactly what you are looking for.
You’ll never have trouble finding physical products to promote as an affiliate marketer. There are so many sites out there that need affiliates for their physical products, and there are just too many to list. You could try affiliate networks like Commission Junction, Share A Sale, or go to your favorite search engine and search for an affiliate program for a certain product you have in mind.
For instance, if I wanted to search for an affiliate program paying me commissions on computers, I could go to a search engine and type in “computer affiliate program”, and find several different sites with affiliate programs for selling computers. You can do this with anything you can possibly think of to sell.
My advice is to pick one thing to promote, and then focus on learning how to promote it and make the most money that you can. Once you learn the ropes of affiliate marketing, you can then start promoting other products and services to make even more money. That to me is the best part of affiliate marketing. I can add to my income whenever I want just by finding another product to promote.
Now it’s time for you to get started. Pick a topic, and find an affiliate program for that topic. Once you have your product picked, seek out resources that will help you make money from promoting the product. All it takes is you getting started today!
