I Need Help/Advice PLEASE!!

With the kinds of commissions you're offering why not give Clickbank a try. I just made a sale on a monthly commission product and every time that person pays his monthly fees I'll get money.

Besides, with Clickbank you'll have people who are professional affiliates selling your product for you.

Nobody can tell for sure if it'll work or not work. The thing to do is boldly go ahead and do it. This is something that many in the internet marketing niche lack and one of the major cause of failure... Just do it and you'll know... If it works you got your plan working... If not... try plan B...

Wishing all success

As suggested I would put it in Clickbank but don't leave out Click2sell.eu and of course paydotcom.com they all have affiliates selling for you.
Good luck.

You are forgetting that Clickbank takes their 2.5% plus $1 off the top, BEFORE you and the affiliate split the rest 75%/25%. Which means that you will only end up with about $10.60 for each sale.

It sounds like your over complicating things to me. You would be better of creating your products first and testing them in the market place, that's before you even think about affiliation. The problem is, that it is really difficult to be detached from your own ideas, and what you may think is the next great idea since sliced bread, may not seem that way to others. And the fact is that whether a product will fly or not, is revealed in the numbers... the numbers never lie.

That's not to put a downer on what you are doing... I admire your enthusiasm. But have you done any number crunching, to see if what you are offering is feasible. It would be sad if you put all that effort in and at the end of it nobody was buying.

Also, and this is following up on what someone else already mentioned... you said: "Basically it would be geared toward success" ...You have already said what you are doing is "not working out very well" ...I would personally feel very uncomfortable trying to teach success principles to others... unless I had achieved some of that success myself.

Wow, great feedback. I know how to help myself, just because I am asking for advice doesn't mean I don't. What I am looking for so to speak is market testing. Is this is a product that people would be willing to get involved with.

What I lack isn't the self help knowledge, somehow you guys all missed that.

What I lack is the ability to gather tons of affiliates quickly.

Before I spent the $20 to post it as a WSO I wanted to test the idea and see what kind of feedback I got. If everyone said it sucked and they wouldn't be willing to pay for it then I would keep moving. If the feedback was even a little bit warm, I would be willing to give it a shot.

What I don't want is to spend 10 hours a week making the product for 3 people.

That's where I need the help. I am or would be considered an expert in the self help area. It's the marketing the website and building a client list quickly that I need some work on so here I am.

So instead of attacking me and my expertize, could we give some honest feedback about the idea.

I am taking action, this is it, and it's called testing.

Best thing is to just go out and do it. Nobody can say whether it will work or not. I can't even tell you, with all the years I have been online, and the 8 figure companies I have consulted. The audience is who will tell you, and they will tell you quick.

I would personally use ClickBank to launch it.

To find out if it will work or not is to simply go after it. Focus on nothing more than getting traffic to it and converting that traffic.

Clickbank is where I would start. I already have an account there that I need to get back up and running and since I have already paid the fee for the account my plan is to use Clickbank.

Does anyone have any advice to building a list of affiliates fairly quickly.

What I mean by not working is that I am not making enough sales/money to pay the bills right now so what I am after is a main product/service which would be the weekly audio/workbook program to promote.

Obviously it's a difficult question to answer as you don't know me or the product or the quality of either myself or the product but let's assume both are high quality.

Is this something you would promote as an affiliate?

Would the commission be high enough for anyone to want to promote it and is it the type of product that is worth $47 a month to the general public?

It might be a better product for self help forums however, my intention would be to gear it toward success not just self help.

So it would include topics such as system development for your business, outsourcing how to, why, where etc...

What mindset is necessary for success and how to develop that mindset.

Why marketing is about understanding who your market is, where to find them, and exactly what to say to them.

How to gather the demographics of your market such as age, sex, income, marital status, number of kids, typical profession, etc..

I want to make it about more than self help and this is just a preliminary stage for me to gather some information, advice, and any other information I can about the idea in order to get a feel for whether or not it's even worth the time and effort.

Of course I know that it's impossible to tell without actually taking it to the market and letting the numbers know however, be that as it may, the people here are a great group of people who know what they are talking about and 99% of the time are of extremely high integrity, honesty, and of a high degree of morals. More so than any other site I have found especially within the internet marketing world which is why this is always the place I come back to in order to learn and have especially lately been really digging into and learning from. Also why I paid to be a part of the paid areas of the forum.

So I thought I would start here and get feedback from all of you first.

So here are the exact questions I would like answered and I hope this is more clear.

1. Considering I gave out samples and those as well as the product were of very high quality with great feedback and remarks from people, would you promote this type of product as an affiliate?

2. How can I go about gathering a large number of good affiliates in as short a period of time as possible?

3. Would you as an internet marketer pay $37 a month for 3 - 4 hours of audio and 4 reports or ebooks related to those specific topics related to business development and success including everything from the mindset to goal setting to actually tracking and quantifying the results you are getting and exactly how to go about improving those results. I would also include Private Label Rights only for people within the warrior forum to do with each weeks material whatever they wished which would not be included for the general public.

Hopefully this helps clarify what I am after.

Sorry if I wasn't very clear or if my intention wasn't very easy to understand.

You say you're in the self help/life coaching business. A couple of people have pointed out that you're not really able to help yourself. You insist you know the stuff and are just asking for advice. I'm not buying that but here's a question for you.

In your capacity as a life coach, say someone in your exact situation showed up one day as a client and told you the story you laid out here. What would you tell them? That your plan is a good one and to go ahead with it? Or would you suck it up and tell them (you) to get things under control by taking a paying job until you can actually get yourself in the position to deliver legitimate advice to others? That's the real question.

If you're familiar with the personal development field perhaps you've heard of Harv Eker. He's a bit of a hardass at times but sometimes that's what people need. Harv says, (in high volume) YOU SAY YOU KNOW IT? YOU DON'T KNOW IT UNTIL YOU LIVE IT. This is his answer when someone in one of his seminars sighs because they've heard a particular principle before.

Sure, they've heard it before but have never really embraced it. Sound familiar? Not here to bust your chops, bud, but this applies to all of us at one time or another and now it's your turn. Get the job. Good luck
