MARKETING YOUR OWN PRODUCTS
By Wayne Van Dyck
One of the major problems within the "inner circle" of the affiliate income business is that everyone is selling everyone else's products. The pages and pages crammed full of commission dealerships is taking a good thing and making it out of hand.
It's been stated time and time again, however, newcomers to the industry need to realize that they need to develop their own products and services. Commission sites are great to learn the affiliate marking game and are fine to compliment your business, if the product is relative to your main product, but everyone should strive for developing their OWN product too. Almost no one ever get rich dealing in just commission products. And most people who think this way just end up giving up after a period of time because they go broke. Let's stop this folly and spread the word about becoming a Prime Source.
But how do you develop your own specialized product or service? It may take a few months to get your "feet wet" in affiliate income business and determine your particular "niche." However, you should already know the talents you possess inside yourself and what your own capabilities and interests are. There has to be more to your business than making money!
What are your hobbies and interests? What would you like to do more than anything else and would you do it if you were not getting paid?
There are many ideas that other affiliate income business people used to create their own product. You can use the same concept locally also. If you sell vitamins, for instance, you could sell them in individual packets and label them for each day of the week. Use the vitamins from the company you are working with but the individual packets and labels would be your own product. You can also charge more for this personal touch.
You are unique! You are an individual who has special talents and interests.
Your business should be a reflection of YOU and your own contribution to the affiliate income business. It is a wonderful business, filled with some of the best people in the world. But it's up to every one of us to keep it that way.
