How to Easily Create Your Own Product!

Each day a large number of people search for private label
products that are for sale.

What they are looking for is a product that they can
resell to make money and PLR products offer them this
opportunity without having to create it themselves.

In other words, it’s a quick fix to their problems.

And there is no reason why you can’t also capitalize on
the PLR popularity by outsourcing your work to a freelance
writer or developer.

All you have to do is come up with the idea and then
employ someone else to do the hard wor for you, and then
offer the finished product for sale.

But to find the right product, you will first need to do a
little bit of research to find a niche that is popular and
in demand.

Simply reseach what your potential customers are looking
for and then determine whether they would be willing to
pay for this information.

If there is a need and a willingness to pay for the
information you have, then you could create a product that
satisfies their needs.

If you can do this, then you can be well on your way to
generating an income.

You’d be surprised at how many ‘gurus’ have made massive
amounts of profits by coming up with the right ideas and
then getting someone else to create the products for them.

And with a little bit of hard work and determination, you
could find that same success.

5-Step Plan – Writing and Planning Your Content (Part 1)

You have now completed the first 4-steps in your plan and
today we are going to discuss the 5th and final part…
creating and writing content for your website/blog.

Once you have your WordPress site set up and ready, it’s
now time to start creating content for it. And since your
primary goal of this website is to make affiliate sales,
there are certain ways you should create the content for
the site.

There are actually several ways you can do this, and
they’re all quite similar.

You can create content in a personalized end-user way for
example. This means you will simply create blog style
sites, in which you talk about various products you’ve
tried. Alternatively, you can talk about products you want
to buy.

Let’s say for example that you chose knitting as your
niche.

Chances are you chose this market because it is one you
like. So you can simply blog about your own knitting
projects, or those you’d like to try.

First you would look through your merchants and find
different types of cotton yarn.

Then make a post on your blog about a cotton project you’d
like to knit – maybe something like a cotton sweater or
socks – and how you think it would look with these
different types of yarn.

Likewise, you can look through your merchants and find
knitting patterns. Then post to your blog about these
patterns you’ve found that you’d like to try.

Or if the patterns look complicated to you, you could blog
about how you’re not sure if you should try a certain
pattern because it seems a bit complicated.

Let’s use another example: home improvement.

Look through your merchant list, and find some related
products such as kitchen cabinet knobs. Then create a blog
post which either talks about several cabinet knobs you
like, and discuss how you think they may fit in your own
kitchen redesign plans.

Alternatively, create a post that’s just about cute
kitchen cabinet knobs… or porcelain cabinet knobs… or
unique cabinet knobs.

And all you really have to do to create the content for
these types of posts is to copy and paste the product
information from the merchants.

So you don’t really even have to personalize the content
in any way. You can simply start out your post saying
something along the lines of “I came across a gorgeous
porcelain cabinet knobs today”.

Then copy and paste a few product descriptions and
pictures into your post.

You could go further of course and make suggestions as to
where you think these would work best. Along with the first
product description.

For example, you could put something along the lines of
“these would probably work best in a rustic cabin style
kitchen”.

The second product comments might read something like
“these will go wonderfully in a modern steel kitchen”, etc.

You can use this technique in pretty much any kind of
market.

If you create a website about cooking for example, you
could create posts which suggest different types of woks to
use for Asian cooking.

You can create posts about bread making machines, all in
one mixing stands, and any number of other products.

This technique is actually one of the most powerful ways
to sell tangible affiliate products. Try to help respective
customers by giving them ideas of how to use the product.

When you create a product post which has basic information
about related products, you are creating what’s known as a
comparison style post.

The main difference however, is that you are not trying to
compare these products based on their price. Instead, you
are simply sharing similar products you have found, and
possibly making suggestions for the best ways to use them.

Ok that’s all we have time for today, but in the next (and
final) lesson we will look at some real life websites that
use the above technique with great success – as well as
summarize the entire step-by-step plan.

Traffic Basics – Getting Repeat Visitors!

In the last lesson we talked about some tips for
increasing your website ranking and traffic. Today we’re
going to go over some more tips that you can use to get
repeat visitors to your website.

When people visit your website chances are very likely
that most of them will leave within the first ten seconds,
never to return again.

The worst part about this is they leave without buying
anything. They don’t even take the time to leave you a
name, number or email address, so you have no idea how to
reach them again.

In today’s lesson I’m going to go over some simple tips
that you can use to get people to come back to your website
repeatedly.

Let’s get started:

- Update the pages on your website frequently.

Stagnant sites are dropped by some search engines. You can
even put a date counter on the page to show when it was

last updated.

- Offer additional value on your website.

For affiliates and partners you can place links to their
sites and products and ask them to do the same for you. You
can also advertise their books or videos, if these products
relate to your industry and are not in competition with
your own product.

- Allow visitors to ‘opt in’ to get special offers.

Place a link on your site to invite visitors to ‘opt in’
to get a monthly newsletter, or valuable coupons, or
special discounts, etc.

- Book Mark this site script.

Add a link to your primary page with a script ‘Book Mark
or Add this site to your Favorites’.

- Show this to a friend script.

Add a link ‘Recommend this site to a Friend’ so that the
visitor can email your website link, with a pre written
title, “Thought you might be interested in this”, just by
clicking on it.

- Promote yourself.

Brand your website so that visitors always know they are
on your site. Use consistent colors, logos and slogans and
always provide a ‘Contact Us’ link on each page.

- Create a ‘Our Policies’ page that clearly defines your
philosophy and principles in dealing with your customers.
Also post your privacy policy as well so that clients know
they are secure when they visit your site.

- Add an FAQ page.

Create a FAQ page which addresses most of the doubts and
clarifications about your product or your company that are
likely to be asked. This helps to resolve most of the
customers doubts in their first visit to your site.

- Titles and keywords.

Ensure that each page on your website has appropriate
titles and keywords so that your customer can find their way
back to your site if they lose the book mark.

- Never spam.

Never send a visitor who has opted for your newsletters
with unsolicited emails. And if they decide they want to
‘opt out’ of the mailings, be sure you honor their request
and take them off the mailing list.

One more thing you can do is make your website more
interactive. Make it interesting and fun for them to stick
around.

Let’s take a look at MySpace as an example.

Go to the main page and snoop around. Not only do they
provide a place for people to meet and get to know each
other, they have polls, classifieds, forums, videos and
more. All designed to get you to stick around and come back
again.

Now I’m not saying that you should try to compete with
MySpace, but what you can do is take the time to design
your web pages so that your visitors will want to click
around for a while and get to know you.

The key is to give them something to do and a reason to
come back.

The longer you can keep their attention the more times you
can get them to come back… and the better this is for you
and your business!

Make sure you look for your next lesson were we will be
going over some easy ways that you can optimize your
website to get more traffic.
