If I choose a product from the market place, and wanted to promote it. What are the steps I should place. I'm not a beginner, so I do have some knowledge, but have never promoted in this fashion.

      lol.. Thanks ByEdvin, Yes, I'd like to start making some money, and what you've said is true, and the way to go about it. But, if the vendor has not supplied any script, images, or video's, then I'm guessing that's all on me to create all of my marketing materials for the promotion. Right?

        The marketing materials that you will need is determined by the type of promotions that you will be running.

        If the vendor did not supply you with any promotional materials, then you will have to create your own.

    Hi Perry,

    Here's a few steps you might want to follow if your product is digital in nature...

    1) Obtain your own website address or affiliate page link

    2) Start looking into and joining safelist mailers, traffic exchange sites, create a Google Adwords account, create Bing/Yahoo/Facebook ppc accounts,

    3) Then just jump in and just start getting involved wherever it might appear to be profitable. Test, spend money, keep reading up in the WF and stuff like that.

    Cheers!

      This was the reply that jumped out at me, ...

      Although it almost looks too simple, the fact is that this is one of the most successful approaches when starting out, especially if not sure which route or niche to take,


      Its a shame that this comment will just get buried in an abyss of other comments.


      Good shout @chemtechguru
      definitely on my top ten transparently honest replies




      Success to all !

    As ByEdvin mentioned. Targeted Traffic. Meaning tailor everything to that specific niche and product/service.

    Your promotion may be different marketing to marketers rather than non marketers for example.

  • 1. Buy the product.
    2. Use the product.
    3. Make notes and take photos of the features.
    4. Analyze how the product is differentiated from the others.
    5. List the pros and cons.
    6. Write it all up honestly, from your perspective and tell the reader why you preferred it to all the others.
    7. Don't sell it. Just tell your story and provide a link.
    8. Give it a provocative title and don't waste your time with backlinks unless they are very high quality.

    First I would do some research and see who and what my competition is. Then I would separate myself from them.

    Traffic. Paid traffic you have more control over and can scale a lot faster and easier.

    There are different ways of promoting your product. You have to choose which one you want to select. Do you want to go for paid promotion or free promotion? If you want to go for free promotion then you have to work hard and it may take time. About paid promotion you can try Facebook Ads to get targeted traffic. It is a good way of getting attention of your targeted traffic. You can also use Solo Ads to promote your product.

    You can promote in multiple ways ... Depending on the product you chose.
    1. If you own a website, make a good review post or write a post for the problem statement & promote ur product as a solution.
    2. Write a blog post & post in the respective FB forums
    3. Make a video review or How to Use video & target the interested users (include, free alternatives & highlight why someone shud spend money on this product while there are other alternatives)
    4. Answer/comment to genuine questions on the forums with ur product link(only genuine)

    If u did not get materials from the product owner, you can create them by urself or can reach out to them. Make sure you use/check the product before u even start promoting (if u are checking the product, u can create your use screenshots)

    Also make sure you collect info of the people interested in your product (even if they are not buying yet) with a good Autoresponder & send them a useful guide related to the product

    1) Find niche

    2) Create product

    3) Get site

    4) Create squeeze page

    5) Get autoresponder

    6) Drive traffic to squeeze page

    7) Setup sales page

    8) Email frequently to leads, and lead them to your sales page/affiliate link in your emails

    It is best if you create your own products though instead of being an affiliate.
