It's one thing to join affiliate programs and earn commissions but in order to make serious amounts of money, you need to have your own product or service to sell.

The best thing to sell on internet is a digitally delivered product or service. Examples include ebooks or electronic books, courses, membership sites and software. The reasons digitally delivered products and services are so great are numerous.

People surfing internet want instant gratification. Digitally delivered products and services can be accessed or downloaded immediately upon online credit card payment. This is not possible with items that require shipping.

Digitally delivered products and services cost little to produce and have potential to yield never-ending revenue. Once you have your site completed and your product or services ready, there are no additional costs. The product or service is created once, and then sold and resold. Such products and services have no overhead, don't require and need for storage space and have no shipping charges.

You create it once and sell it forever!

With autoresponders, you never have to lose money advertising again! That's right, every ad you place from now on can be a winner -- even when you lose money!

I know, I know, you're thinking, "Okay, now you've lost it Glen." But I haven't. Let me explain.

Let's say you place an ezine ad, which costs you $200. and you make $20 for every sale made. If you make 8 sales with ad you will earn $160.

Gosh, you just lost $40. That's a bad ad right? The answer to that depends on how you wrote your ad. Let me show you how losing $40 can actually be a win.

When you create your ad, don't advertise directly for your product. Advertise something that will "bring them in door". Freebies like this mini-course, sweepstakes or items at exceptionably low prices work well.

The job of your advertisement is to create leads. That is, to get readers e-mail address with permission to follow up Yes, that's that one to one marketing thing happening again.

Using autoresponders that automatically follow-up will give you ability to set up a completely automated follow-up system for your product or service. You can use three, eight, or even thirty e-mail follow-up messages to generate sales for your product.

Instead of only having one chance to sell your prospect, you can have thirty opportunities to sell them -- all for price of one ad. Which do you think will make more sales?

Marketing guru Jay Levinson figures average person needs to see an ad twenty-seven times before it has desired impact. Twenty seven times! Now you know why you see Coca-Cola everywhere you look.

Okay, so let's do math again. You paid $200 to run your ad with a link to your automatic follow-up system. Let's say you send seven follow-ups. You made $160 on first ad. Don't forget what guru says -- more a person sees an ad, more likely they will buy. But for argument sake, let's say your conversion rate stays at $160 per follow-up. $160 times seven follow-ups equals $1120. Now you've made a profit of $920! Pretty cool isn't it?
