Make Money Online Selling Other People's Products the Easy Way!

By Todd N. Wesley

If you are truly interested in making a part time or full time living online then you must understand something - you will NEVER make money online unless a product or a service is sold. Period. And, this product must be something of value to a hungry audience.

The trouble with this is that most internet newbies don't have enough knowledge to create their own product. But, the good news is that they don't have to! Instead, you can make money online selling OTHER people's products through one of several affiliate programs. Let me explain...


The first thing you need to understand is that just about every business around (online or off) has an affiliate program. This means that they will pay you a commission to promote their product and you can make money online selling their product over and over again. They give you a special tracking link and whenever a visitor clicks on your link and buys something you receive a commission. Pretty cool, huh?

So, the first thing you need to do to make money online selling something to someone is find a product to promote. While there are many websites out there with affiliate program offers the one I primarily use is ClickBank. This is an affiliate marketplace where vendors submit products and affiliates sell products. There are literally thousands of products in dozens of niches. So, head there to find your product.

The next thing you need to do is look at some of the rating criteria that ClickBank uses. The one I prefer is called "gravity" which is an estimation of how popular a product is. Many people choose products that have a gravity greater than a certain number. I on the other hand use a different method to make money online selling products. The vendors I promote should adhere to the following pattern:

1. They should be new. I use four weeks or sooner as my criteria here.

2. They should have a gravity of more than 10 but less than 50. This means that people are buying it but it's not so popular that you will have lots of competition and it is easier to make money online selling products like these.

Now that you have a product chosen it's time to make money online selling that product. If you have no money then I recommend you do two things:

1. Write at least 10 articles about your product or its niche. And, make sure at least one of the articles is titled "YOUR PRODUCT review" and talk about the good and bad points of the product.

2. In your author's bio section point your hyperlink back to your blog. Don't have a blog? Then get a free one at Blogger or something similar. At this blog you should repost your product review article. In fact, this should be the ONLY article at your blog. And, it should be written in a way that makes people want to click on your affiliate link and allow you to make money online selling someone else's product. Don't forget that people buy primarily on emotion!

To review, write at least 10 articles with all of them pointing to your free blog. At your blog put your product review article on page one with your affiliate link. The blog will get to the top of the search engines quickly and you will make money online selling this vendor's product for years to come.

Do you have a little money to spend? If so, then I recommend that in addition to article writing you either send a solo email to someone else's list or you do pay per click advertising. Either way, the link in your email (or advertisement) should direct people back to your BLOG, where they will see your review and hopefully buy your product so you can make money online.

In fact, I would ALWAYS write articles plus use pay methods (if possible) because the combination of the two methods will help you to make money online selling your product OR their product. It's a solid marketing method that works well for any business.

Overall I generally have at least ten products that I'm trying to make money online with by selling them to others. I am constantly tweaking and removing products based on performance. But, in my quest to make money online selling something to someone I NEVER QUIT. And, you shouldn't either! Get to work!
