How to make to X,XXX or more per day

Over the years I have gained quite a bit of knowledge about online marketing. I'm starting to believe, that if I really want to start making more money, I need to create my own products or offerings, that I have affiliates busy selling.

I've been learning towards a CPA offer. I could create a fancy lead capture page, and sell the leads to a larger company. I haven't decided what niche to go with yet, possibly Insurance.

I've also considered contacting companies online that look like they aren't familiar with the affiliate structure or much of online marketing at all for that matter, and informing them how they work and offering to manage their program for them.

What are your thoughts about creating your own offer? This is a step all affiliate marketers should eventually take.

    Based on what you said, I am assuming so far all you've been doing is reading without taking actions. If so, then, my advice is to get some practice by starting small. For instance, become an affiliate to familiarize yourself with the type of business and niche before diving into creating your own product.

    Everything you know so far are just theories. They may sound good on paper but may not ending up working out so well when they are put to use. To $x,xxx per day will cost money. Don't make the mistake of spending cash on creating products, advertising etc... without having some decent experiences first. That's just a recipe for disaster.

    Just my $0.02

    You 100% absolutely have to have your own offer product and business but it is not where I would start.

    Getting tied into this CPA networks As a vendor can be very, very, very expensive. That's why you do not see very many small businesses working with them. If your focus is to reach a broader audience thenI would highly recommend it. But don't expect a return on your $ investment very quickly It's a long-term game.

    Well, no you don't need to be an advertiser to make 4 figures/day. Plenty of affiliates do it, so there's no reason you can't. Being the advertiser makes it easier in some respects, yeah (higher margins, leveraging affiliates etc), but like said previously, you need both experience and money before you can make the transition.

      I absolutely agree, but it seems as if he already has some good funds to get started. You got a make sure you keep a close very, very close eye on what everybody is doing in the different CPA networks because one mistake can cost you over $100,000 in under a day as a vendor. Yet it Can get that that bad But on the flip side, it can be that good.

    Its the same as making $1 per day. It just takes a lot more work/funds to get there.

    I totally agree that having your own high quality products is the way to go. However, on a limited budget becoming an affiliate to various existing offerings is a great way to get started making money online. I have personally found that unless you have killer sales copy you aren't going to be making much on any of your own products unless your name alone carries some mega clout. Even with great product and copy, unless people can find you, your sales will be dismal. Not trying to be a downer. Saying these steps are essential
    1.Great product
    2. Killer sales copy
    3.Traffic (through marketing or name recognition)

    I did not start it yet.I think I need to learn more before I create my own offerings.But I dont have any argument that having your own product or offerings can help to make some real amount of money online.

    I believe one has to focus on something, and not give up until you either see results, or really prove that you won't see them. That said, there are indeed many interesting ways to make money, product creation being one of them. If you go that way, diversifiy, create a couple info products for different niches, and a report to sell to other marketers to sincerely tell them your journey and experiences
