I have often been asked about the benefits of having your own product and I thought I’d share those questions and answers here.
The first rule of making money online or offline is, “Have something for sale!”.
How Is Owning Your Own Product Different From Being An Affiliate? – Good question! Being and affiliate is great which is why I always include affiliate offers on my premium websites. There are, however, several differences.
1 – You Get Paid Quicker With Your Own Product – When you have your own product your money goes directly to your Paypal account instantly. You can spend this money the moment the sale is made. I’ve personally had some affiliate programs take up to 72 days to pay me! Would you rather get paid now or weeks from now? You be the judge!
It is possible to buy this website and start making sales immediately. While I would never guarantee that you will start making sale the day your website is setup, I have had clients that have made sales only a few days after their purchase.
2 – You Keep 100% of The Profits – All the profits from the sale of your own product are yours.
3 – You Can Have Others Sell For You – When you own your own product you have affiliates work for you.
Isn’t Selling Your Own Product Difficult? – It is not nearly as difficult as you might think. Your salespage does the selling job for you and is setup take process your orders on autopilot.
The whole process is super-simple and runs completely on autopilot:
1 – People visit your website
2 – Interested parties click on the banner that leads to your salespage
3 – Visitor reads your salespage and clicks on your order button when they decide to buy
4 – Visitor now becomes a customer and their money is sent to you via Paypal
5 – Once your customer has paid with Paypal they are taken to a secure digital download system where they can access their purchase!
What About Customer Service? Won’t Customer Take Up A Lot Of My Time? – I used to think this as well. In fact, this was the main reason I put off having my own product. What I found is that I was hardly ever contacted by customers and when I was they were often seeking to buy my next product! If you don’t have your own product you are leaving a lot of money on the table.
Having your own product puts you in more of a position of authority than someone who is only selling products as an affiliate. In your visitors eyes you become, “The guy who wrote the book on (your chosen topic)”.
