True or false, you need to believe in the product or service youre selling otherwise it wont be a

Absolutely - if you're not resonate and do not believe in product you going to sale it is possible that you not going to make any money. Ask yourself before you going to promote a product would you sale this product to your mother ??? Is it really good and you believe in this product? Remember one golden rule "Sale is a transfer of feelings"

Yes, you should and that will help you sleep peacefully at night and not thinking about the refund rates of crappy products. Read Zig Ziglar's closing the sale and you will be a lot better than the competition.

Good recommendation with Zig Ziglar, his stuff is great.

Yes you should believe in the product you are selling, but its not impossible to sell something you don't have a lot of experience with. I've made a lot of money selling Anti-Wrinkle creams. I'm not passionate or a user of Anti-Wrinkle creams but I know who is and understand the reasons why my customer would.

So you don't have to pick a product you are passionate about, but you should be passionate about understanding why and how your product helps someone.

I think it's very important to believe in what you are marketing. Liking and believing in what you do also helps keep you motivated for the long run.

Marketing success is not about selling something; it is about promoting an idea you believed in. This makes marketing a lot easier and you "market" without making an effort to "sell."

Initially, I marketed a lot of products just with the goal of making money, but nothing worked like the dating niche for me, as I strongly believed the advice helped men gain confidence, leaving all insecurities behind, and live life to the fullest.

We all have a variety of interests and things we know actually work. Go with that feeling. Your prospective customers will actually sense that.

To be a little more specific you have to believe that the product
will produce the result or solve the problem that you're promoting
to the end user.

You don't have to care at all about it for yourself. I know a whole
bunch of skinny people who have never dieted in their lives who earn
a nice living selling diet products. They aren't passionate about the
products for themselves. They know the products will produce the
result the target market is looking for.

They're passionate about providing solutions to other people's problems.

Hi,
I agree passion comes first.
But the other most important thing is understanding your market. If you get that right, even if you are not passionate about the product, it will sell anyway.

The bottom line is : A marketer's job is to sell. Well, he can sell more if he is passionate about the product..but that doesn't mean he can't sell anything other than that.

If you know whom you are selling to and you know the nitty gritty of your product, bingo!

However, ask this one question before marketing any product:
"Would you buy the same product if you were in your prospect shoes?"

Answering this question will give you unbelievable confidence in your product.

Thanks

My real case is not just promote a product, but must dig into it. Find out the real users that use the products and their feedback, not just some testimonials on the sales letter or blog reviews on the search engines. Check also other tools or services to make the product give more best results. If the research is done, this should be one killer funnels ready to promote with setting up the report, squeeze page etc. If the visitors subscribe to get the killer information, the sales is coming better and faster than just standard promote affiliate product.If your friend is thirsty and want some water, just give the water with cold ice, some good design glass and smile from your face that will be more thanks.

i think that s bullshit. do not fall inlove with any product. go after niches that will make you money. passionate does nto pay the bills. enjoying what you do not pay the bills. work is work and fun is fun

For me personally (and in my niche), I have to believe in what it is that I am selling to others. Some folks are sociopaths and don't care what they sell just as long as there's money in it for them.

So it all comes down to your personality type.

How you feel about what you are doing can make a big difference in your results.

I've marketed both - products I am passionate about and products I knew could make money but I wasn't particularly interested in. Auto auction listings is an example of something I made thousands with but couldn't care less about.

It's a lot more fun marketing products I am interested in and believe in. You can identify with the problems and see the product as a viable solution.

It also help you connect better with your audience. What really pisses me off are really good products with crappy sales pages.

The products are really good but you know they won't covert so well. I try and look for a winning combination. A product that will convert and that also delivers.

And nowadays I always look over the product myself. Sometimes I request a review copy, or sometimes I will buy it.

It makes it so much easier to talk about it and market it. Again, using the auto auction listings example, I never bought it. It sold well and had hardly any refunds.

I had a 1 page lander and used some of the copy from the vendor. It worked at the time.

With some niches or ways of marketing this method just won't fly. It really depends on what type of products you are selling.

Ofcourse.

That's 100% True.

Don't try to sell anything you don't believe in.

It will be fake.

It's true for me that you need to believe in the product (that it is effective) otherwise how can you persuade others. However, I don't believe that you can only sell products that you are passionate about (or think it can change your life and etc.). You just pay attention to supply and demand. Is the product distinctive and stand out from the current offers in the market? Is it a helpful solution? Sell it. Is it just a junk product or waste of money? Abandon it.

i'd say yes...

believe in what you sell..

or only promote products that you believe in ..

when you write about that product and/or promote that product you tend to come up with the little details your prospects can learn from..

-Ike Paz

I think you need to be knowledgable in what you are promoting in order to feel good about your efforts. Its like a doctor recommending an oil change place, it just doesnt make sense. Take the time to research your products and if anyone has any questions you can be confident about your answers.

TEST the product BEFORE.

Know the author and then promote that product.

The List is your best valuable ASSET: dont waste it promoting scams.

I think it comes down to being honest with yourself. Are you in this to just make money or to really help? If it is a product that you aren't familiar with and you honestly think it will help your target audience, I don't see a problem with that. Just my two cents.

Yeah Because if you see dollar signs more than anything else, you'll do silly things that ensure you see fewer dollar signs LOL. But if you get clear on something, and believe in it, that vibe resonates with folks who see value in it too. These folks will buy based on that resonance.

And if you get REALLY clear on selling a product you'll make the most money with it.

One thing that's not been touched on is the 'how' of marketing.

I think it's important to remember that not everyone is blogging.

If you are driving ppc traffic to a CPA offer then no one will know whether you are a believer or a deceiver.

I sell in markets I have little interest in and for me it's more important that the target audience believes in the product.

Absolutely true.

Especially if you're making a personal recommendation from a website / blog.

However I do believe there's a difference between being passionate about selling something vs. selling something that you believe in rather than it being pure baloney.
