Creating A Sellable Product
Hi, this is Don. Welcome back to the EZ4Newbies Blog. Thanks for coming by again!
Many marketers have created or acquired products that they thought would sell well and, in their enthusiasm, set up everything from sales letters to websites to getting traffic. However, a lot of these marketers have forgotten the single most important factor that will affect their product sales ? the “sellability” of the product.
When you begin creating products or buying rights to a certain product to sell, the most important factor you must take into account is the demand of the product. Do people want your product? It is simply stupid to waste a month’s time preparing a product, setting up the website and required sales techniques only to find that people do not even flick an eyebrow at your product!
Your final goal is to deliver the product to your customer and collect his or her money. In order to do this, you must make sure your customer wants to buy your product in the first place. How do you find out if they want your product? Simple. Just ask! Ask in forums related to your niche. Hold a survey or public poll. The Internet is a flat playing field, and you have the power to reach just about anyone in the world who has an Internet connection.
Let’s say you have this brilliant idea on creating a step-by-step instruction on how to cook Malaysian food. First, you must find out if anyone is interested (or even heard of) Malaysian food. To do this, go to a food-related forum and ask tactfully if anyone would be interested in learning Malaysian cuisine. Do not ask blatantly whether anyone would like to buy an ebook with instructions on how to cook Malaysian food, or you might be in danger of being accused of spamming.
On the other hand, you can give out a few samples of your Malaysian recipes to test the waters ? see how the forum members react to them. If they show enthusiasm for learning more, then you definitely have a market in this. If they show no interest, then it is time to look for a new idea to market. You save time in the long run because you don’t have to find out the low demand for your product the hard way.
If your idea is welcomed by the forum members you surveyed, you can go ahead and compile your extensive ebook on cooking Malaysian food because there is interest in the information you possess. Where there is interest, you can easily build up desire for your product, and with desire (plus good marketing), your purchases will arrive naturally!
Key Realities About Affiliate Marketing
Most people who would like to earn money online think that affiliate marketing is very easy and that they can start to earn money without doing anything. Yes, it’s true that affiliate marking is one of the easiest ways to make money online. However, some effort is required before you can start to see your affiliate checks rolling in!
New online entrepreneurs who get into affiliate marketing with some misconceptions are easily discouraged. This article outlines the realities and facts about affiliate marketing.
- It’s essential for you to invest some money if you really want to succeed and earn big commissions. You will need to have your own website, an auto responder on your website, and also track the performance of your advertisements. Most of these items will require you to spend some money. In order to generate many sales and hence earn huge commission checks, you must drive huge volumes of traffic to your website. Depending one the advertising campaign you’ll prefer to use, you will need to pay some money for advertising.
- You will need to apply some hard work and effort to build your affiliate marketing business. This is particularly important during the early stages of starting your business, when you will need to write articles or other reports that you can use to promote your affiliate links. Blogging, participating in forums, and writing affiliate product reviews are some of the things you will need to do. Depending on your budget, there are several marketing-related steps you will need to take to advertise your website. If you have money, you can outsource some of the services you need. If you have a limited budget, it means you have to do most of the marketing activities yourself.
- You will need to keep on learning. Internet marketing is very dynamic, and there are various ways of promoting your website which you can use. This means that you must keep on learning to keep yourselfup-to-date with the most effective ways for marketing online. You can interact with other affiliate marketers or you can have a very successful marketer as your mentor.
- You need to have confidence and faith in yourself. This will help you to keep on working on your business when it is bringing in pocket change, until you become successful and earn those really big commissions.
These are some of the key realities about affiliate marketing. You must fully understand them before you decide to start an affiliate marketing business.

Nice Professional Work
I just saw a “TV commercial” type of ad online. An affiliate for the product created it, then made it available for other affiliates to use. I was impressed by the creativity and professionalism of the video. It is even fairly humorous, especially near the end. So just for fun, and to enjoy some good work, take a look:
It’s only about 90 seconds long, so it’s worth watching
Go Away (for awhile)
Below is a link to post on another blog. Yeah, that’s right, I’m sending you somewhere else!
But there’s a good reason: this post is a nice and concise overview of the steps to getting started. Since I believe they cover it extremely well, I’m not going to “reinvent the wheel”, so to speak, but just send you to the good info. The post is on LeadsLeap, which, as you can tell by their ad in the sidebar under “Blog Sponsors”, are one of my blog sponsors, so this is also shamelessly commercial. Here’s the link: Newbie Step-by-Step Guide.
Near the end of the post, they also mention two of their other articles:
Steps in Creating an Online Business and How to Drive Traffic to Your Website
Both of these are also worth reading. Then, the last step they mention is “Keep Learning and Keep Working”. Maybe I’m starting to sound like a broken record (anybody besides me actually remember records?), but in my previous posts, you may have noticed that I keep encouraging you to decide if this is a hobby or a business for you. If it’s a business, it will take some consistent effort (also known as ‘work’) to be successful; we should all keep learning, too.
Now, I don’t agree 100% with everything they say in these 3 posts, but I agree with enough of it that I believe it is worth your time to read them. OK, once again, here ’s the link to the first post: Newbie Step-by-Step Guide. Go, get started, just please don’t forget about me; after all, I’m the nice guy who showed you where to find this good stuff, right? So, come back soon.
Now, quit reading here and go there: Newbie Step-by-Step Guide
