When it comes to making money online, we all want to make as much money as we possibly can because the truth is that, while helping people is great (should also be a goal), this is a business.  From that standpoint, promoting higher-priced products makes total sense — especially when you consider that the promotional work that you have to do for a product — whether it’s higher or lower-priced — is the same.

With that said, there is something major that I’ve noticed in the past little while, given that I promote both lower and higher-priced products.  I’ve noticed that as long as you choose a quality product, the refund/chargeback rates for the more expensive products I promote have been non-existent — really!  One in particular, called Affilobleprint (review), is on Clickbank.  I recommend that you use it and promote it if you are struggling with blogging and hitting that $100/day mark — it pays that well!  Some others are on independent affiliate programs that pay via Paypal, which I have to wait to be paid on.

Anyway, the moral of the story is not to shy away from promoting higher-priced products.  Here’s a tip.  More expensive, quality products are totally worth it, but you can’t think to yourself “This is too expensive.  I would never buy it.”  You have to think of it in terms of how the product will improve the potential customer’s life.  From that perspective, a quality product that solves a major problem they are dealing with is priceless.  It’s like the more it cost, the harder they are willing to work to solve their problem with your recommendation.

Yours in online success,

Hello, guys and gals. Today, I want to respond to a question that I’ve been getting a lot lately, especially from newbie marketers.  It usually goes something like this, “How much money will [product x] really make me?  The answer to this is pretty simple.  I have no idea how much money you will make with a particular product.  The reason I don’t know is because there are a number of factors involved like your level of experience, how long it takes you to grasp the material and so on.  The only thing that I can do is introduce you to quality products that work and those that are taught by people who really know their stuff.

As for the rest of it, it’s pretty much up to you.  In this business, you kind of have to be the type of person that’s a self-starter, one that’s persistent and being naturally inquisitive also helps out a lot.  You have to be the kind of person that’s not afraid to ask questions when you get stuck (happens to everyone) and also be willing to seek out the answers.  These qualities are very important because even with legitimate products, you have to realize that no product is 100 percent perfect.  Success in this business is basically about finding a business model that suits you (several to choose from) and working it.

I, for instance, found that I really like blogging.  Interestingly enough, it’s not because I like to write all that much.  I like blogging because of the residual aspect of it — being able to put up content once and continue to profit from it.  I also like the idea of having a little community of my own and having the knowledge to help people out with their questions.  Some people like being service providers and doing stuff where they get paid via Paypal.  I’m personally too much of a procrastinator for that.  I also know this because I actually tried it.

With that said, I also have to mention that once you find what you like, it doesn’t really feel like work.  Over time, you also get pretty quick at it once you get yourself into a route, so don’t let the idea of having to put forth some effort scare you off.  Click the link below to find the model that best  fits you.

I’m Ready to Jump Start my Online Journey!

Today, I am going to address a rather common topic that I have been asked via e-mail and one that I see a lot on internet marketing forums as well.  It’s about why I recommend that you start making money online outside a niche market other than “making money online.”  I’m also going to tell you what I recommend instead (easiest way to figure out profitable niche) and how you can get started in right direction (product recommendation).  Let’s get to it.

Whenever I tell a newbie that they should start in a niche outside of the “make money online/internet marketing” niche, the usual response that I get is, “Why?  Are you scared of a little competition?”  That always makes me laugh because there’s competition within every profitable niche.  The real reason is because you can’t really promote legitimate “make money” products whenever you’ve never done it yourself.  I mean, with all the crap out there, how can you tell the difference between a quality product and a crappy one?  You can’t.  That comes with experience.

Now, you’re probably asking yourself, “What do I do instead?”  Well, that’s a great question for which I have an equally great answer.  🙂  Think about your hobbies.  What are you into?  What do you like to do for fun?  There is a VERY, VERY good chance that you into a hobby (niche) that’s really profitable and that you’re part of a much larger niche — even if you don’t know it.  Since you’re in the niche yourself, it also means that you will be more easily able to connect with your audience.  I will use myself as an example to prove my point.

When I first started making money online, I was told not to go into “make money online” (didn’t know why at the time), so I didn’t.  I sat and thought about it for a while, and then, it dawned on me that maybe what I majored in while in college (Spanish) was a niche.  As it turned out, it was (and is).    It’s something that I knew a lot about and enjoyed (love languages in general).  Since I was in the niche, I had also already used a lot of products as well.  It was great!  The best part was that I was able to pretty much type from my head and pump out content really quickly, and readers loved my work!

When you go for what you know, everything else will fall into place.  It doesn’t matter if it’s sports, cooking, video games, gardening, or something I’ve never heard of before.  Go for it and take action!  With all the niche markets and products out there (and the tons that will come out being that we’re only a few days into the new year), your opportunities are limitless.  Click the link below to kick start your online journey (will be taken to a review for a product that teaches you how to make money from emerging products and trending topics in 30 days or less).

As I visit various internet marketing forums around the web, there was one topic that just kept coming up over and over again (and one I get e-mails about as well).  It’s that of mindset or your mentality when it comes to making money online.  I often see posts where people say they have been trying to make money online for years but have failed.  They continue on and list all of the programs they’ve spent money on and have access to.  While some of them are admittedly crap and complete scams, others are totally legitimate.

I often think to myself, “If you actually implemented [product x], then you should have seen success long ago.”  For instance, they might say they purchased a product about making money blogging (just one way to make money online) that’s legit.  I’ll ask to see their site, so that I can provide them with feedback.  They have no site to show me.  When I ask them to show me their research (the first step in the process), they will often say that they got stuck and then gave up after a week or so.  Forgive me for sounding harsh, but this mentality isn’t going to cut it.  For many people, though, this mentality seems to be a permanent state of being.

The Successful Marketer’s Mentality

If you’re serious about something, your mentality should be something like, “I may not know how to do something, but I know other people have had success at it, and I’m willing to learn and put in the effort until I reach the same success.”  When you run into a roadblock (happens to us all), you don’t give up.  View them as learning experiences.  You ask questions, do research until you figure out what you did wrong.  Once you figure that out, you make the correction and keep it moving.  Your only option should be one of success.  This mentality holds to for successful people in general — not just marketers.

While there are some things that you can’t control in your life, there are many more things that you can control.  For instance, you can’t really control if you grow up poor.  You can, however, decide that you are not going to be defined by your circumstances and choose to equip yourself with knowledge and skills that allow you to take a “less conventional” path to success, so that the world is your oyster, and you can live out your dreams.  In the end, it all comes down to you.  Do you have the successful marketer’s mentality?  If so, click the link below to get started.
