How to create to creat your own products

Earning a percentage of a sale through an affiliate program is attractive, especially considering how quickly the programs can be set up, earning 100% of the sale can be even more attractive. The only way to do this is to create your own product. This statement may shock you, but I'll bet you yourself have inside your mind information that would make for an incredibly valuable and profitable info product. The fact is, all of your experiences, talents, and skills if put down in the proper format, could very well represent a value to someone else that doesn't have that knowledge or skill. Simply make a list of any hobby or talent that you have that you could teach to somebody else. If there is a big enough interest in a particular subject matter that you have knowledge about then don't hesitate to create a product. As far as the world of online goes, an expert is merely someone who can provide specific information about a topic that someone else wants to pay to learn.
Creating your product doesn't require any special skill either. A salable product could be as simple as an e-book, such as the one you're reading now, or a more detailed program that may include a series of videos, audio lessons, or a combination of any of the three. There are many places online you can use to outsource the work to be created. If you can type or talk into a microphone then someone else can take this recorded material and turn it into an information product you could sell on your website. For more detailed information about this particular subject, simply go to Google and type in how to create an info product and a plethora of solutions will be available to you. Once you've decided on a particular product to sell, it's time to begin building your storefront. In this case, of course, your storefront will be your website.


10 Free Ways to Drive Traffic To A Brand New Website

After creating you website, the next step is to get traffic! With no other means in mind Should you just sit there and wait for people to find your new site? Certainly not! Here are 10 free ways that you can drive traffic to your new website…
  • Forum Marketing
    Do a search on Google for keyword+forum. If you have a marketing related site, for example, search “marketing forum” (without quotes). Find the top 5 forums in your niche and join each of them. DO NOT SPAM, but do set up a profile (and signature, if allowed) and post an introduction. Get involved in each of these 3 forums by posting at least one thread or response each day. This will help you gain exposure in your target market, and people will naturally be interested in your related website.
  • Article Marketing
    Write 4 articles that are related to the topic of your website. Include a brief bio and link to your website at the end of the article. Submit each of these articles to article directories, and also to webmasters and ezine owners that rank well for your keywords.
  • Yahoo! Answers
    Go to yahoo answers and find questions related to your niche or website/blog. If you can provide a legitimate answer to their question, you can include your link as the resource or reference URL. Again, without spamming, if you can contribute to the community you will interest them in your related website. 
  • Social Networking
    Set up profiles at popular social networking sites like MySpace, Facebook, Ryze.com etc. Network with people in your niche and get established on these sites with a customized profile. It is very easy to grow your network, and people who are interested in what you offer can find you easily. If you can use “photo marketing” to your advantage (cute pet pictures for a pet site, for example), include Flickr.com in your networking list as well.
  • Viral Marketing
    Write a Report that would be of great interest to your target market, and sell it cheap. Include your bio and information about your site within the report (briefly in the Introduction, and fully in the About The Author section at the end).Initially offer 100% commission to Affiliates, and you will have all of your competitors sending traffic to your website for you.
  • Blogging
    Blogging can be considered another form of Social Networking, and enough so to be considered a stand-alone marketing technique. You want to set up a blog (wordpress, blogger , etc) that is directly related to your website’s topic, and post content to it frequently (3-5x/week minimum). If you have a pet internet marketing website, for example, you can create a blog on Internet Marketing Tips (SEO, affiliate marketing, etc). 
  • Press Releases
    You can write and submit a press release free of charge. While some websites charge to publish your press release (and this may be worth the investment!), many also offer a free submission option. You want your press release to be newsworthy, so you choose your angle carefully. Do a search on Google for press release tips.
  • Search Engine Marketing
    Learn all that you can about SEO (Search Engine Optimization) and take the necessary steps to optimize each of your web pages. It is not complicated or impossible, but there is a lot of mis-information out there about search engines.
  • Funnel Traffic From Other Sites
    This strategy may require a little creativity, but you want to consider ways that you can funnel traffic from popular websites such as: craigslist, ebay, youtube, wikipedia, etc. These are very popular websites that are established and bursting at the seems with live visitors. Think of ways that you can add something of value, and (without spamming!) lure these visitors to your website.
  • Get Links!
    Submit your new site to appropriate directories, and get it listed on niche resource pages. Link farms and exchanges on “link pages” are a waste of your time, but do seek out quality linking opportunities. You want a variety of links pointing to your site, not only to your main page but also to internal pages of your site as well.  Hot** Rank Builder 2.0 Is A Revolutionary Piece Of Software That Allows You To Quick Build Tons Of High Value One Way Link Sources And More
