In it, Chris describes a simple 5 Step process, to make big money online – more than any other online activity. Mastering that simple process will allow you to write your own tickets.

This is what the so called “gurus” do, almost exclusively. And then they just repeat those steps over and over again in one hot market after the next.

It’s exactly what I wrote about in the past in posts like Mediocre Copywriting Skills? and How Simple Internet Marketing Can Be.

But… while the concept IS easy, execution can be a real problem for many online marketers.

Inside The 24-Hour HOT Product Formula, Chris says:

“But I’ve already tried selling my own product, and hardly anyone bought it! I can’t get affiliates (real ones), I can’t make decent money with it and I can’t get traffic! What am I doing wrong!!??”

The reason why many attempts to create an own product and get affiliates sell it successfully fail or deliver just some poor results, is because people just don’t understand how to recognize and present HOT offers or how to develop an effective sales process.

As I posted before, a lot of people are simply selling the wrong products.
Or they’re selling the “right” product, but with the wrong offer.

The most important thing to remember when selling products is: people do NOT buy what they need! They buy what they WANT.

Therefore, your prospects will always find money to buy what they really want. So…

… why not offer products that your prospects will make private sacrifices for in order to to buy them?

And that’s exactly the goal of Chris’ latest report!
It shows you how to pick out markets full of “rabid buyers” and hence how to recognize what sorts of products truly sell like crazy.

Plus… how to quickly produce hot-selling products of your own that you can use as leverage (and an initial starting point) to penetrate a market, make some big sales and even a fortune.

Chris also shows you how to create simple copy that sell like crazy and how to roll out your products.

This report only consists of 28 pages, but unlike Chris’s previous VIP reports, he added some great videos, so you can look over his shoulder to see HOW this famous Internet marketer is actually doing it.

Honestly, it’s eye opening for people who don’t know how to create their own products and sell them successfully. And fast!

If that sounds like you or if you’re not making enough money online, I suggest you get your copy right now.

To make the decision easier, I’ll even add a special bonus to the report that fits like a glove.

Because I’m going to give away a copy of my “22 Secret Hot Buttons” report for the first 10 visitors who buy this great report through my affiliate link and send me their PayPal receipt.

The 24-Hour HOT Product Formula

So here a 4 top domain name tips, written by Emilia Johansson, director of AffiliateTips.com. Emilia is an expert in finding great programs that pay out high commissions which she publishes in a top 10. She looks at today’s topic from this respect.

Here goes. Enjoy!

The Importance of a Top Domain Name

When you’re starting your affiliate business there are many things to think about and one of the most important things is picking a domain name.

I wouldn’t say that it will make or break your business but it can make the difference between a successful and a mediocre affiliate.

How can that be, you might ask yourself, and the answer is quite easy; with a carefully chosen domain name you’ll be able to attract more visitors and that equals more money in your pocket at the end of the month.

If you stick to a few simple strategies you’ll get a head start to your competitors and to help you with this we’ve created this post. Read it and learn what to think about – in just picking up one or two of our pointers you’ll get an edge to your competitors when it comes to the domain name.

Matching Names

It might seem obvious but if possible you should try to match the domain name with the name of your website. If you do this chances are much greater that your visitors remember the name and in the end return to your site.

If the names don’t match people will be confused and as many are inpatient they won’t bother trying to find your site. This means less visitors and money for you.

Many of the top names are already taken – use free registry tools to find out if the one you want is free or not.

Keyword in the Domain Name

One of the best ways of attracting visitors to your website through a domain name is in picking a name that includes your website’s keyword. From an SEO (Search Engine Optimization) perspective this is ideal but it won’t be easy to do.

First of all, think about what your most important keywords are and then start thinking about what the domain name could be. This could take some time but it will be well-worth the effort.

Keep it Short and Simple

If you are thinking about using a long domain name then you really should reconsider. Most people won’t remember the name of your site if the name is too long – keep it short and simple.
Of course, this shouldn’t be done at any price – don’t sacrifice your memorability and branding just to keep the name. Maybe a deliberation is at its place…

Also try to avoid using to many dashes in your domain name as this will make it harder for you to use it when you are meeting with people face to face. One is fine but if you have problems pronouncing it in less than a few seconds it’s probably best to rethink it.

Creative Names

If you can’t come up with a generic domain name you might want to think about picking a creative domain name. In fact, in many cases can this prove to be more successful – it all comes down to how creative you are.

To test if your chosen domain name is creative enough to be remember, simply mention it casually to a few friends and check back with them after a day or so. If they still remember the domain name – it’s for sure a keeper.
Warm up your creative muscles and start brainstorming!

4 Top Domain Name Tips

Why Create Your Own Products?

So, you want to create your own product.

Well, you’ve made a good choice. I’ve been telling this to marketers for a long time. Yes, you can make a nice living as an affiliate marketer, but if you want to rake in the really big bucks, you need to create your own products.

Need reasons?
This article is going to give you plenty of reasons. After reading it, I have no doubt that you’ll be convinced that creating your own product is the way to go.

The biggest reason for creating your own product is complete control.

As an affiliate marketer, you are at the mercy of the product creator.
The price of the product, the sales page, the customer support… everything is out of your control. If the product creator decides to reduce the commission percentage from 75% to 50%, well, you have to live with it.

I’ve seen product creators literally destroy their products with some of the changes they make and in turn, they kill their affiliates chances for making sales.

Another big reason for creating your own product is competition.

As an affiliate, you are competing with every other affiliate who’s promoting that same product. Unless you really have some serious affiliate marketing skills, you’re not going to get many sales.

As a product creator, not only don’t you have to worry about competing with other affiliates, you get other affiliates to help you promote your product. One super affiliate doing that can land you hundreds of sales. I have personally had many affiliates over the years promote my products for me.

Still another advantage of creating your own product is making a name for yourself.

As an affiliate marketer, you’re promoting somebody else’s product and in the process, promoting somebody else’s name. It is doubtful that anybody is going to even remember who you are after they’ve purchased the product from you. Think about it. Do you remember all the affiliate marketers you bought products from?

In addition to name recognition, there is also the opportunity for addition income. Each product you sell, if created properly, can lead to additional sales. I have some products that one $20 sale leads to another $200 of income in many cases. With affiliate marketing, these chances are limited.

Yes, creating your own products is a great way to earn a nice income online. However, product creation does take some doing. In my signature is a great guide that I put together with my friend Justin Michie on product creation. I am sure you’ll find that it’s the best guide you’ve read on the subject.

Why create your own products? I think the reasons are obvious.

Shortly after publishing yesterday’s article USP: Differentiate Your Site In 30 Seconds, a comment was made asking for any tips to work on your unique selling proposition. So, here goes.

The USP is the one thing that makes your product and your business different from every other product and business in the same market.

How to find your USP?

The USP is a result of a matching process, a comparison between your product and company on one side and the market, more specifically your very specific target group on the other side.

The four steps to find your USP are:

1. Evaluate your strengths and significant competencies
   Take a good look at the features and benefits of your product or service and at your company and then decide what differentiates you and your business from the pack. Is it the value you provide, how big a problem you solve, your experience, know how, customer service, delivery speed and so on?
   Try to quantify the differences as much as possible!
2. Analyze your market to find out which benefits are most crucial to your target prospects. What benefits do they appreciate most and which do they actively look for?
   Review leading trade publishings, analyze newsletters and search the Net for news and trends about your niche. Here’s another great tip: survey your customers to gather data.
3. Compare the answers from steps 1 and 2 and encircle the matches.
   Whenever details of both lists match, you can build a USP. If you have no matches, you have to digg deeper until you find them. It’s not always easy to find a USP, but in order to differentiate yourself and your product, you should have one.
4. Take your TOP match(es) and use it to position yourself and your product in the market.
   Summarize the results from step 3 into one, compact, compelling, motivating phrase that will persuade your clients to trade their cash for the benefits presented by your products.
   Your significant product benefits and the way in which you structure your offering is your ‘Unique Selling Proposition’ or ‘USP.’

You can find a USP for every product or service that you sell, but you could also look at your companies product range and develop a unique selling proposition for that. If you take this route and go more general, you’re developing a brand.

If you’re having difficulties finding a good USP, start digging deeper in steps 1 and 2.
A great way to get into the smallest details is to have someone interview you to get the answers to questions like
- what exactly is it that your product or comapny does?
- what services and/or products do you provide?
- to whom do you provide these services/products; who are your customers?
- what makes you better than other companies?
- why do you do that better; how and how much?
- what needs do you fill for your customers?
Then, after the interviewer asks everyone of these questions, have her ask this one, “So what?” You should give more. Both you and the interviewer may come up with unexpected answers and solutions.

Finding a USP can be hard. As a marketer you need to discover and fine-tune or even refocus your USP.

4 Steps To Discover Your Unique Selling Proposition (USP)

From all the people that give you advice, there are many telling you that you need to produce a HUGE product, taking you weeks or even months to create, in order to have a product worth $50 – $200+.

The underlying idea is that they wish you to get swamped with the idea that you have to produce a monumental product to acquire all that money you desire for your endeavors, so that you lack the confidence to produce anything personal and basically become their competitor.

To put that differently… “Don’t create something of your own while you are able to just join my associate program.”

Such advice makes me sick to my stomach.

Do I have anything versus acquiring associates? No. Of course not. I’ve associates of my own. Joining and advertising associate programs should only be a step in your business.

Remember that a lot of people just want to avoid you competing with them, ever. You should be aware that nearly all of what they tell you is planned to make certain that you keep spending your money to assist them make additional money by doing nothing else than advertising their products through their associate programs.

Now, picture this… Perhaps producing a product you would like to sell for $50 – $100 or more is a lot of hard work, but producing a series of reports that sell for $5-$10 or $10-$15 each isn’t.

And they don’t take long to create. I’m talking days, not weeks or months. The sooner you can finish a product, the sooner you can get paid and move on to creating another.

You don’t have to create one $50 – $100 product. You can simply create 5-10 $10 products and offer them in a way that makes it natural for people to buy them in bundles.

The easiest way to get people to buy more than one product is to make them all related. Make it so that one product seems a little incomplete without the other. You can cross-sell them by mentioning (one of) your other reports inside.

Keep in mind that I’m not saying that you should leave anything out of your products. Not at all. Just make sure that one product expands on an idea mentioned in a previous one.

You always hear people talking about how it’s not worth the effort to sell a $10 product and you know what?

They’re probably right.

But what many don’t tell you is that when you offer a group of low-cost, attractive products on a related topic… Many people don’t buy just one. People buy bundles of low-cost products on impulse.

Many people want to keep this hidden from you because they know that by getting out there and successfully selling your own products (no matter how small) that you’ll gain the confidence you need to compete with them later on.

If you’ve been putting off creating your own information product because you feel like you don’t have enough time to create one, hopefully by the time you’ve finished reading this report, you’ll realize that you have all the time you need.

Oh, and by the way, here’s a great e-commerce script to sell them.

Have fun and let me know how you’re doing.

Easy Way To Create $50-$200+ Information Products

Let me explain.

Last week, I wrote about your best Internet business opportunities.
This post lets you decide about the business topics you can select. If you’re still indecisive, read on, because I have a great resource below.

And a few weeks before, I showed you 4 simple steps to create a successful small business website.

The steps 3 and 4 in this post can be easily implemented using the outstanding Rapid Action Profits script that I recommended in there.

Only leaves you with steps 1 and 2: Get a Product and Create a Sales Site.

Create a sales site is partially done using Rapid Action Profits, as it already contains a general sales page.

But you want a more specific one. And you want your product, right?

What if I told you that you can have …

Would that help?

I mean, with such a resource at your fingertips you will have plenty of choices to decide upon your business topic, as you can check out for yourself below.

Believe me, you can’t do them all.
If you only pick three (3) of them right now and turn them into great selling websites, one each month, you’re in business before this first quarter is over!

All you need to do is read the ready-to-go private label product, add an introduction and your remarks, insert a few affiliate programs maybe and use my system to create info products in a flash.

Including the necessary research on your part, this can easily be done within a month. Even two weeks is very well possible, but let’s just stick to one product a month. And that’s because the first one may take some more time as you have to gain some experience in setting up the system, RAP and find affiliate programs.

Now, let’s just assume, that for each product that you launch, you will only sell two per day. Let’s say the profit per sale is only $20.
That’s 40 bucks a day after only one month.

After three months, you’re generating $120 a day, 30 days in a month! Doesn’t that make a nice monthly income?

I thought so. Now, what’s this great resource with so many PLR product?

It’s Nicheology.

Normally this great membership site is closed and has a long waiting list. But right now there’s a small opening in the door.
That’s why you have to act fast.

Check it out and let me know what you think about it.
Don’t procrastinate, as these free spots always are filled very quick.

How To Become Successful Fast In 2008

My answer is always the same: I raise my hands in the air, saying “I don’t know”!

That’s because I do not know you, your strong and weak points, your knowledge, your will power, the time that you have available, whether you can focus or not and a lot of other things. I can’t decide for you, you have to make that decision yourself.

But I also always include some guidelines and I will reprint them right now. Here goes.

There are basically two ways to set up a successful Internet business:

- follow your passion, hobby or profession, or …
- follow the money

Following your passion, hobby or profession

Following the money

Be knowledgeable.
Either way, it is of the utmost importance to be knowledgeable about the products or services you are selling, because you eventually have to answer questions or inquiries from potential customers and even may have to discuss alternatives!
You need to answer them accurately, because you have to show you’re the expert to build a relationship of mutual understanding and trust and agreement.

Build confidence
Therefore, in my opinion, the best web business for you is one that you’re knowledgeable about. Knowing exactly what you’re talking about builds your self confidence and that on its turn will absolutely give you the advantage. In fact, you won’t be able to effectively sell online without that confidence.

You see, reputation is the key.
This implies that the more satisfied your customers are, the more they’re willing to come back again for more and to recommend you to their network.
Even on the Net word of mouth is far and away the best advertising you can ever get. You’ll get it for free and it serves as a testimonial to potential customers.
Nothing is more powerful than that.

Have you decided yet which strategy to follow?

60 Free Camtasia Tutorials

First, you have to get started. That may sound obvious, but it’s where most people fail.

They procrastinate, or they just don’t believe it will work. So, they don’t do anything. Don’t make that mistake.

The process is simple. You need to:

1. Get a product.
Obvious. You need something to sell.

The trick is to make sure it’s something YOU are interested in, so that you’ll stick with it. And that it’s something enough other people are willing to pay enough money for to make sure you can make a good profit from the time you spend creating and marketing it.

Now, here’s a great tip: Explore Your Hard Disk.
Chances are there’s some valuable raw or private label content on there.
If there is, here’s an easy way to convert that in valuable, high selling info products.

2. Create a sales site.
You need a place for people to read about your product, and decide if they want to spend the money on it.

3. Accept payments.
Once they decide to buy, you need a way for them to give you the money, and a way for you to deliver the goods.

4. Create sales and affiliates.
Once you’re ready, you need to get people to read your sales letter and order your product. This is where the quick money is. You’ll see how to do this easily.

You also want to be set up so that some of them can sign up as affiliates, which means they’ll be selling your product on their sites for a commission. This is where the automatic long-term money is.

Now, steps 2, 3 and 4 may look difficult, but it isn’t when you use a powerful small business e-commerce script like Rapid Action Profits.

I can assure you, it works. It’s worked for me, and it’s worked for a lot of people I know who are making thousands (or tens of thousands) of dollars every month.

For now, all I want you to do is keep the above in mind. It’s a simplified blueprint for all your online endeavors.

Simple.
Easy to do.
Anyone can do it.
You too!
