There are some things that I do to sell my products, and to get other people to sell my things. I don't like to sell, so I get others to sell for me without hiring them. So following gives people an incentive to sell for me, and it gives customers an incentive to buy. * 10% finders fee - Refer a client to me and you get 10% of my fee. Since it's not uncommon for me to charge $1,500 to $2,000 for a website, people are happy to say, "Use Jeff" and get a check for $150 to $200. Now that's easy money. * 10% discount to nonprofits - Nonprofits like discounts (okay, so everyone likes discounts) and I like to help nonprofits, so it's a win-win situation. * 30-day money back guarantee - This give clients a good feeling of security, which makes them more likely to buy. Besides, if you sell a good product or service, you will get very few requests for refunds.

What To Sell

If you do decide to sell your own stuff question is, "What do you sell?"

Actually, possibilities are endless. On my site I sell many things, such as: * Ebooks * Reports * Website design * Website evaluation

What can you sell? Any product or service you have to offer, or other peoples' products, including: * E-books and merchandise * Advertising in your newsletter or on your website - You should charge $.007 for a prime ad, $.006 for a standard ad and $.005 for a basic ad per visitor or subscriber. Multiply number of unique visitors to page you're selling ad on by ad rate (or number of subscribers to your monthly newsletter per month. If your newsletter comes out biweekly, then multiply your subscribers by 2.15, or times 4.3 if weekly.) So if you have 1,000 visitors to a page, and someone pays $.007 per ad, then total is $7.00 per month. * Banner and other ads on your site * Website templates, graphics and fonts that you create * Sell things on e-bay and show more details on your site and use it as a source of info for your specialty

This information will give you a good springboard for making money on your website, now let your imagination run free and come up with some great money making ideas.
