I stopped selling an started making money .
I decided to post it in the general forum for the fact that this is where I got some of my first ideas to make money in ways other than just affiliate marketing . Here we go.
Hard work will not get you anywhere . Now I know a lot of you were taught (just like me ) from a very early age that if you work harder than the people around you , you will be the most successful.
This could not be further from the whole truth. Online IM gurus tell enchanting yarns of working only two hours a day and making gazzillions doing it . They are not making this up .
How do they do it ?
I am bad to watch late night infomercials. One of the first ones I remember seeing was a real estate guru proclaiming " Make $$$$$ using other people's money".
Now the gurus are applying this same principle with a twist.
Instead of other people's money they are using other people's labor .
Now I am not talking outsourcing , persuasion , or even traditional affiliate marketing .
While they do have a small army of affiliates selling their products, a lot of them are using affiliates in another way .
The tactic they are now using is to get sub affiliates to sign up under them .
I use this tactic with a twist of my own.
I set up a super simple capture page giving away a report on how to make a living by not selling , emailing or even worrying with driving traffic.
The ar sends them to a page with a link to sign up to a free affiliate program and also a link that they can send me via email their affiliate id . Once I get the email I send them the free report that explains how to set up the system I used to get them to sign up , plus a few simple tricks that helps them get their own affiliates , build a list , and be a better affiliate thwmselves.
If you would like to see the process check it out
I first, kind of, worried that people might think that I was tricking them into something . Instead of complaints I started getting emails from people thanking me for helping them make their first dollar online .
The great thing is not only did I help them make a dollar , I made ten cents from their sale . This was done with no sale , email , or traffic driving of my own. I simply gave a report away and started making money . Multiply 1000 sub affiliates making $400 a week ( some a lot more , some less) and take 10% of that going to your pay pal.
This also opens the door for backend sales . People that you have helped make money have no problem buying more of your stuff, as long as it is quality stuff that makes them more money .
This is the third affiliate program I have tried this with. The updated report isn't even ready yet and two days into the new splash page I have over 200 People waiting on the new report .
I am not saying to quit what you are doing now . If you are looking into multiple streams of income , why not let other people's labor make you some money ?
