Silent Salesmen

Your own product can and should include your valid recommendations to related resources for user's consideration and benefit. Many ebook authors use this method to lead reader into offers for their other products.

In addition, therein lies one of secrets to success with commission based affiliate sales. The user/reader will be more inclined to accept and act on your recommendations, since your knowledge and authority on topic has been demonstrated by your authorship.

Enable Your Own Affiliate Program

Motivating other marketers to sell for you is next to impossible until you have an original product to offer. Yet with an original product release, announced in right places, you can quickly have dozens, even hundreds of people promoting your product. This tactic alone can take your product into areas of market that you might logistically be unable to reach by your singular efforts.

Open Inroads for Your Next Product

With one successful product release under your belt, you will find that subsequent new products will be met with acceptance and action on part of buyers and affiliates as well. Providing your products are of high quality, this effect will compound over time.

So, it's evident that your own original product holds key to taking your ebusiness to a whole new level. But just how do you go about developing that first product?

That, dear reader, is seed for our next article.

If you do not have any friends who are interested or willing to work with you, then you might consider hiring others to work for you. You can hire others to work for you on a one-time basis (such as designing your web site) or you may choose to employ someone to do some routine work (such as maintaining and updating your web site).

Now, if you still think that starting an Internet business is easy, think again. Despite all hype that you might have heard about making great amounts of money from your own product or affiliate program, succeeding online does not happen overnight.

However, starting an Internet business does not necessarily have to be hard. As with any offline business, an Internet business requires that you take time to learn different aspects of business. Would you go to battle in a war if you have never done any military training?

After all, an Internet business is, as its name implies, a business. Hence, you must treat your Internet business seriously if you wish to succeed. Having an Internet business does not mean that you can work any less than an offline one. It only allows you to work flexible hours from comfort of your home (and in your underwear, if you wish).

So, if you are thinking of starting an Internet business, decide today: do you want to be jack of all trades? If so, be prepared to open your eyes (and mind!) to learning new things every day! After all, isn't learning supposed to be a lifelong process?

On other hand, if you don't want to be jack of all trades, be prepared to open up your wallet... KATCHING!
