The Problem With Affiliate Marketing

Have you ever thought how nice it would be if you could make the price of the product cheaper or more expensive to make you more money?

If you could just lower the price a couple dollars you could increase sales so much that your overall profits would increase greatly? For example, you are selling a $100 product and you sell 100/month which brings in $10,000 a month.

If you dropped the price you to $90 you lose $10 per sale which is $1000 but you also gain 20 more sales each month which is another $2000 in sales so you raise your income by 10% or $1000 per month!

Or, if you were to raise the price $50 but you lose 20 sales per month you get 80 sales times $150 which is a total of $12,000 of income each month and a 20% increase in income!

Of course both of those examples are just for demonstration and I have no way of knowing if these numbers are in any way accurate or indicative of what you should expect but they show how adjustments could raise your income…

But you can’t mess with the price of a product you’re an affiliate for.

That leads to you having to create your own products that you can market and sell and you have total control over what you charge, and you can test more.

There are tons of courses that “teach” you how to do this and there are PLR products that you almost have to make a new product from anyway to make it current and your own.

Marcus Campbell, a YouTuber who teaches affiliate marketing and other make money online business methods, talks about how easy it is to get traffic but knowing what to do with the traffic that takes work.

You’ve probably noticed that many emails you get and websites you visit (in the make money online market) all have similar headlines and hype-y claims.

When you start marketing affiliate products in the make money online market you get “swipe” files and landing page templates with the same stuff as everybody else.

If you are at all like me you probably ask yourself, “how do I stand out?”

There are Bible verses about there being nothing new under the sun and marketers that want you to sell their products and courses who tell you not to re-invent the wheel…

Just do what’s already proven to work…

The money is in the list…

There are so many paths and so many things that work but how do you make it work for you?

What should you focus on where should you spend your time and energy? What is going to give you the best returns?

Some coaches say that you have to get out there and work hard while others say just do what you love and the money will come!

You are probably ok with a little hard work but what exactly do you need to work on in order to produce a positive income?

When are you going to have an Ah-Ha moment that leads to you overnight success that you hear so much about?

Right now I am exploring the make your own product, using PLR and/or using my own knowledge to create a product I can sell.

Stay tuned, my list building is improving. I am making sales here and there. I am working toward consistency. Improve my efficiency is a high priority.

Til next time…
