There are so many ways to do it. Some people prefer to sell products on eBay, others like to write books and sell on Amazon. Some of them even prefer to develop their own product and sell it to the world. This guide is about how to sell other people’s products, high quality best seller products, and receive high commissions in return.
This guide is going to be updated often to keep up with the latest business trends on the internet and it’s all on the single page so you can read everything without missing a point.
Let’s begin!
Wordpress
Wordpress is the most popular website/blog builder in the world. It’s estimated that Wordpress powers 25% of all the sites on the internet. It’s so popular because it’s free, easy to use and powerful. You can combine templates and plugins to make a truly powerful site capable of handling millions of visitors.
How to start building a Wordpress website?
You have two options. The first is the free one, the other the paid. But Wordpress is free, why do you have to spend money? It’s not to use Wordpress but to have a domain and hosting.
If you go to Wordpress.com you can make a free website, no credit card or charges. However you cannot make money from your blog. It’s only to have fun in my opinion and you should leave that option behind.
To make a professional website and insert ads and products in it, you need a domain and great hosting. Blue Host and Host Gator are among the two best webhosting services in the world. The prices are great, the service even greater.
To start, you need to register a domain. Pick one that’s short, the preference goes to the .com, and make sure it’s related to your site. It does not make sense registering a domain that makes the site sounds about car, when your site will be about sports.
After the domain you need hosting. Make sure the package includes Wordpress, that means the site can have databases.
To install Wordpress, most of the host services now allow one click installs which makes the site ready in a few minutes.
Now you can start building the site.
Pick a template you like. There are many free templates. The hard part is picking one you like. Make sure the template is simple. People and search engines don’t like complex templates that make the site hard to navigate and read the content. The simpler the better.
What plugins do you need to get started? You don’t have to any but they make your site more powerful. The best are the backup plugins to make backups faster and easier and SEO plugins. Avoid installing dozens because your site will be slower and lack of speed means lower Google search result positions and less people visiting your site.
Blogger
Blogger is the best way to make a great blog without spending a cent. It’s hosted by Google, it requires no maintenance, it’s super fast and you can add the ads you want such as Adsense, Amazon, Clickbank products and eBay widgets. There are millions of blogs running Blogger and they rank really high on search engines especially Google.
The advantage is you can focus only on your business without having to worry about security, maintenance, backups, plugins and server speed and capacity.
In my opinion it’s the best way to have a blog where you can focus on what you can do best which is producing great content.
To start a Blogger blog you just need to:
1: Go to Blogger.com
2: Pick a name and the url
3: Start the blog.
In less than five minutes your blog is live, ready to receive visitors and to make money from advertisements and affiliate products.
You can make your blog better if you tune it a little bit. The default templates are not very attractive. They are not unique so you will share the template with millions of other blogs. You can get better templates by visiting btemplates.com and from there you can filter the template results by color and style (1 column, 2 or 3).
If you see one you like, installing it is simple. Inside your blog, go to the model link, choose the edit HTML button, then just paste the code and it’s ready.
In my opinion you should use a default Blogger template and tweak it a little bit. You have more edit option without having to code and on overall you have more options to make the template suit your needs by adjusting the layout size, text color, text size, link color and then some more.
When you are happy just start blogging.
If you want to buy a domain go ahead and make the domain link to your Blogger blog. It costs about 9$ a year and with a custom domain your blog looks more professional.
Clickbank
Clickbank is the largest digital product market place where you can pick thousands of products to promote on your website. In my opinion it’s the best way to make money online because the commissions can be as high as 150$ per sale and many of them are recurring billing meaning you make money every month as long as the person that bought the product using your banner/link remains a customer.
To start you need to register an account on Clickbank, pick an affiliate name and you are ready to begin promoting the products.
To promote the products go to the market place where the products are listed. You can click on the categories link on the left, you can search products by keywords or you can enter a vendor name on the search box to see what products that vendor has. My favorite way is to click on the categories and see the product list. Choose to display by popularity.
The secret is to select a product that sells, has a low refund rate, and a high gravity. What does gravity mean? It means that affiliates made sales in the last 12 weeks. If the number is zero is means affiliates are not making sales. Choose a product that has at least 30 of gravity.
Now to start promoting the product you can click the promote button and generate a link or you can click the product’s website and then go to the affiliate area where you will see the banners you can use on your website. I prefer the banners because of visibility and attractiveness. The bigger the banner is, the more clicks it will attract and the more sales you can make for every visitor on your site.
Other way to promote products is to generate links and add them to your site. I do not prefer this method because links are quite small and hard to see compared with the banners.
If banners on your site don’t work or you already have lots of images you can use an RSS feed to get products from clickbank and show them as links automatically. Go to rssfeedsgenerator.com, sign up, then click the RSS feed generator. Insert your Clickbank ID, the keywords you want, number of links and then you are ready to show links. The advantage of using an RSS feed is the speed. You just have to choose keywords and the links will start appearing automatically. The disadvantage is you cannot choose the products individually or filter them by their performance. Yet this is a great way to add products to the site without using flashy banners. Some people have better results with banners, others with text links. It all depends on what content your site has. Image and video content works better with banners, text content works better with links.
Finally you have the website CB Engine that shows a lot of stats about Clickbank products. It’s one of the best websites focused on Clickbank only where you can see how products are performing, the new products on the market place and a great way to search for products using keywords. I recommend a visit to this site if you are not sure what Clickbank product to promote. Here you will get lots of ideas.
Bux
When it comes to bux sites some people think it’s a good idea to join them all. In my opinion and experience, it’s wrong. You should focus only on one bux site to maximize the number of referrals you have and to commit to click all the ads every day without taking the whole day.
The real money with bux sites come from the referrals’ work, not yours. Sure you still have to click the ads every day to earn some but most important to earn from your referrals.
The system is easy to understand. Advertisers pay to show their ads and sites, you get paid to visit them.
Best bux site: NEOBUX
The most important part of making money with bux sites is getting referrals.
To get referrals you need to send people to Neobux using the link or the banners.
How do you get a ton of referrals fast?
The best way is to have a high traffic site or blog. I explained how above. A high traffic site or blog makes it easy to promote the banners. You should place them in places where people will see them. Neobux banners are attractive and people should click on them.
Another way to attract clicks and sign ups is to write a nice review about your experience with Neobux on your site. Explain how you work, and how the site works and what the possibilities are.
The Secret
The secret to make money online is not a secret at all. Surprised? It’s all about traffic! The more traffic your website has, the more clicks and sales you will make. After building your website your main goal should be to have fresh great content all the time, and of course, to attract as much traffic as you can.
Let’s see some tips to attract more traffic:
1: Google SEO
Google receives trillions of searches a year. It’s a huge traffic potential for any website including yours. Most of the traffic coming to websites comes from Google. People search to find what they are looking for and if your website has it and if Google shows the link, people visit your website.
Traffic from Google is very high quality traffic which means people who are likely to click the banners and buy the products. The hard part is how to rank high on Google and get the traffic.
Because of this Google SEO is a huge business. Websites are trying to rank high for as many keywords as they can to rank high. Countless of posts explain how to rank higher on Google.
Here are a few tips to rank high on Google and for as many keywords as you can.
- Write more content
More content means more keywords will send Google traffic especially if this content is diversified. You should not write about the same keyword over and over again. Instead your site should be focused on one topic but that topic should be wide. For example if your site is about SEO, writing about backlinks over and over again won’t attract traffic from many keywords. However the SEO niche is big and backlinks is not the only topic.
- Get more backlinks
Google evaluates a website using many factors but links are the most important. The more links a website has from other websites, the better it will rank. One of your goals, along with writing great content, is to get more links from other sites and blogs. Two ways work perfectly. One is to make comments on other blogs about their content. When you are using Google to find information, the site you are reading probably has a comment section. Write a great comment that’s useful and insert your website link. If the site approves your comment, you will receive some traffic from that post and you will get a high quality link back to your own site. Another way is to be popular on the web. You are not an isolated island. Make friends online especially people who have the same interests such as sports or fitness. Ask them to make a link from their blog to your own site.
2: Facebook
The biggest social network is a waterfall of traffic when used right. No, forget about using your own profile and wall to spread the word. The traffic potential is small. Sure your friends and family might like to visit your site, but the real traffic is in the groups and fan pages.
- Groups
Join groups related to your website. When you are approved read the rules carefully to avoid being kicked out of the group. Now make friends with the people there and participate in the group like they participate. This does not mean just posting links to your website, it means caring about what they say too, just like you interact with your own friends and family. Can’t internet friends be real? Sure they can. Here you can find dozens of thousands of people with the same interests and you can make a name for yourself. Start slowly, add links over and over again. Read what they post, comment on their posts, just be you and make friends. Tell them how excited you are about the products you promote. They might be your first customers!
- Fan page
Your website should have a fan page. If you don’t have one you are losing lots of returning visitors and maybe repeating sales. Making one is so easy. Make the fan page, add great images about your site such as memes, infographics, great content and links to your site. Slowly you will build a fan list who will receive your content when you post a new link on your fan page. Posting affiliate links on groups and fan pages does not work. People will see you are there just trying to sell. Avoid it. Instead make them know about your site and passion.
3: Youtube
Youtube is the second most visited site on the entire internet. There are more than 2 billion video views every day. If you are not using Youtube to get traffic to your website you are missing a huge opportunity.
Getting traffic with youtube is done in two ways. One is making your own videos about your website, your content, your passion, the products you are promoting. This work great when your video is useful. The second is to comment on videos. For example if you like to see Youtube videos about how to make money online, you can comment on those videos and include a link back to your own website. It will mean one backlink and more traffic coming.
4: Twitter
Twitter is another king of traffic. Hundreds of books have been written about how to unleash the traffic potential of Twitter to your website. Keep it simple. Make friends with people who might care about your website and the products you promote, and second unfollow the people who do not follow you back.
