If you don't have your own product, easiest and quickest way to see some cash is to sell other people's stuff. You won't have to handle orders, deal with customers or build products. Just send traffic to a merchant with an affiliate program and he will pay you a commission on every sale referred by you. Easy enough.

The fastest way to find a product that sells and that has good chances to make you money is to visit your competitor sites. Type your main topic on Google.com and check top ranked sites. Look for products they promote. Click on them and browse sales page. Look for a link that reads "make money" or "affiliates". Follow that link and follow their instructions to sign up. The merchant will provide you all info you need to promote their product. Generally, you will be provided with a special link to use in your promotions.

Also, there are "affiliate" centers that make task of finding partners easier. If you are looking for electronic products, this is , ebooks, software or similar , first place to look must be Clickbank. (http://www.clickbank.com) . It features thousands of products on different topics you might want to promote for profit.

When selecting a partner make sure that:

1.The site is good looking. Would you buy from it? 2.The product offers quality. Would you buy it?

A marketing plan is a road map detailing “route” you’ll take to get your business noticed by potential clients. By following a properly crafted plan, you’ll know what to do and why you’re doing it, while avoiding some of mistakes that can cost you money and future growth.

“If You Build It, They Won’t Necessarily Come”

The first part of any marketing plan is a basic understanding of your market, competition and whether or not an opportunity exists for your product or service.

My first business venture was to make very expensive looking floral wreathes. All my friends and neighbors had them on their front doors and I knew I paid $100 for mine, so why not make and sell them myself! What I didn’t consider is that I have expensive taste and in order to make a profit, my wreaths were priced significantly higher than local craft store. If I were in a more affluent area, it may have worked, but not here.

I started business on a hunch and didn’t truly know my market or competition. Had I done my research, I may have used lower cost materials, made less elaborate products, sold them in a different area or skipped venture all together. What I learned is that my opinion combined with my friend’s opinions is not a strong enough basis to launch a business.

“No, I’m Not Going to Stop for Directions.”

When starting a business you generally know where you want to end up and you might have a vague idea of how to get there, but what if you get lost? A marketing plan is like a road map or corner gas station used as a reference tool to keep your marketing on track. If you run into “construction traffic”, a properly developed plan will offer options to keep you motivated, organized and headed in right direction.

“I Want to Rule World… Or Do I?”

Do you want a home based business with one or maybe two employees or a large firm with several hundred? How do you feel about travel, making cold calls, Internet, can you type? How fast do you want to grow and do you have resources to keep up with growth? Your goals as a business entity will dictate how and to whom you market.
