Far better to own a Product

8 replies
It is by far easier to make money online when you sell a product of your own. Especially when you compare the amount of money you can make with your own product to selling items on Amazon or a similar distributor. Sure, with sites like Clickbank you may give away up to 75% of your earnings to affiliates, but those are sales you never would have gotten on your own anyway.

From what I've seen, having your own product is a far better way to earn money than just selling affiliate products.

What has your experience been?

    You know having my own product is on my neverending to-do list. I think you are right that it is more profitable to have your own, rather than be an affiliate. What does take up time is managing your products sales and support, not to mention promotion. That's why I like the idea of just having a WSO business and running it through WSO Pro.

      I have been doing Affiliate Marketing for some time now.

      I have started work on my own eBook, hoping for some nice income from it

      I have the same problem with creating my own product, it stays on the To-Do list! Maybe we should do a WSO together on how to get started...

          Maybe we should seriously think about it, it got a nice angle to it, two people who never met doing a WSO. Maybe something small and cheap. PM your email to me if you are interested

    I prefer a mix of own and affiliate products but priority is always to develop my own stuff.

    I have one ebook of my own that is up for sale on my personal site at the moment and it already brought in some sales. It feels really great. And the nice thing about it is that it has the possibility to bring sales for the life. With affiliate marketing this is not possible. If a product gets old or unpopular or removed, you will need to leave it. But with your own product you can always improve it.

  • You can also buy a product and resell it. Selling is not easy for both a product you own or an affiliate product. There are advantages in selling your own product,sure: you make more money...if you sell it!
