THE WEB

WHAT TO SELL?

You want to obtain your own web site and make some money out of it but don't have a specific topic or product in mind?

Don't worry! There are hundreds if not thousands of sites out there just waiting to sign you up for you to sell their products or services, and to give you your own web page/site on which to do it. I have spent hours looking at many of them. Some appear to be very good, many of them average and quite a few are there just to take your money off you !

First you have to decide whether you want to sell an actual product - books, CD's, travel, computer games etc., or if you wish to sell an information or marketing service.

Secondly you have to decide if, in the first instance, you are prepared to pay for your new web site, or if you want one for free.

Of the ones I have looked at, I would suggest you check out the following (for more affiliate programmes and informative articles on being a successful affiliate, check out our Affiliate Resource Centre).

  • MARKETING SERVICES - Two of the best sites on the web if you wish to concentrate on selling "information" to other web users (an extremely competitive area) are run by two of the Internet's best known entrepreneurs, whose names you will keep coming across as you travel the net, Ken Evoy and Corey Rudl. Ken runs the excellent SITESELL range of programmes, while the INTERNET MARKETING CENTRE is the site of Corey, an in depth interview with whom you can read here. Both of these programmes give you a web page with your own ID on so that you can advertise the site and gain referral commissions for sales made. They both offer a wide range of FREE information for their affiliates, and the services they offer are widely regarded as among the best available. I would strongly advise that if you are looking to go down this road, at the very least you check out these two sites, for you will find the free information of great use, even if you don't take it any further.
  • For selling a marketing product, the ROIbot programme is very difficult to beat. The star of their range is their adtracking software, and this has now been supplemented by a host of other valuable software programmes. Again, they provide excellent affiliate support. Well worth checking out.
  • The Newbie Club
    This site provides tons of valuable information for both new and old computer and Internet users. The site is chock full of usefull info and they also sell a wide range of informative books. In addition, affiliates are provided with a great back up service as well as the opportunity to earn good commissions

  • GOODS - One of the most successful home based businesses around at the moment, is selling Viagra, Propecia, Celebrex and Xenical (online sales for hair loss, slimming, arthritis and impotence pills) supplied by KwikMed. Everything is professionally done for you complete with an automated marketing system for FREE! This is NOT MLM , you will be selling real products that people world-wide need! They will also provide a Spanish speaking site.
  • BOOKS - Many people are successfully running book or music stores on the net, often concentrating on their own particular interest, or hobby (e.g. books on fishing, or a music store for trad jazz) Two of the biggest online stores with good affiliate programmes are Amazon.com and Barnes & Noble Both of these sites offer a wide variety of linking options and give you every opportunity to build an effective book store. As well as books they both offer a wide range of other products such as software and CD's etc.
  • MLM (Multilevel Marketing) - Now to be honest, I am not a great fan of MLM, partly because I am old and cynical, and partly because when I was young and innocent (many years ago) I got involved in a Pyramid selling scheme and ended up with crates of engine oil additive in my father's garage, and a large hole in my bank balance! I have always steered clear of the likes of Amway and Herbal Life, although I do know some people who have made money through them. There are many programmes on the net that offer you vast wealth for doing nothing, and promise an endless, increasing income for life. Generally speaking I believe that if an offer looks too good to be true, then it probably is.
