When someone first starts out online to make some extra money, they usually tend to start promoting other people’s products to make affiliate commissions. This is a great way to start, and it is also not something which should be stopped! Let me explain.
When you have built up a nice online business, time can become tight and you will begin to receive a lot of offers to promote other people’s products. You will not be able to promote them all, but you should still try to help by promoting products which your visitors and customers will enjoy.
The hard part is deciding which products to promote and how to promote them.
The average way of thinking to promote a product is through opt-in email, and that can work great. But many internet marketing ‘gurus’ say that you should only email your list a few times a week, and some say once a day. So there is a limited amount of time with which you can send promotional emails to your opt-in subscribers.
I would like you suggest another way that you can promote affiliate offers to keep the money coming in month after month without you having to work all the time.
The easiest way to do this is with your own information product like an ebook or video course. The product itself will be yours, so how do you make affiliate sales? You can easily make more affiliate commissions by simply recommending different products and services as resources to use in your product.
For example, if your product is about how to build an opt-in email list, then you can recommend an autoresponder services that your customers can use to help them do that. If anyone wants to start a quality opt-in list, then they will need an autoresponder, so why not recommend a good one to them?
If they purchase the product or service that you recommend, then you will make an affiliate sale. This is how you can make more affiliate commissions when you run out of time promoting affiliate offers using other methods.
This is just one of many powerful reasons why you need to create your own product to sell online. There are many ways to make money on the internet, but having your own quality product that people are interested in is one of the top money makers.
Have your own ebook created within just 7 days, ready to bring you sales which will allow you to have control over your income every month! Follow the step-by-step Product Creation Success process to secure your future sales.

1Great point and your own product allows you to get affiliates to promote it and get your affiliate links for recommended services in front of even more people.

2Beginning to understand the importance of having your own products for list building and making money. And to have affiliates selling your products just adds another piece to that money making puzzle. Thanks.

3Definitely the right choice, Joel – and if they can see their way clear to offering Master Resell Rights to their new product, they can brand themselves that much farther that much faster, too!
