Alternative products

If it's hard for you to develop your own product, or you don't want to bother with writing an e-book or creating your own program, it's not the end of the world. You may want to consider selling other people's products and earning commissions for doing it. In this way, you can earn up to thousands per month depending on your effort. While various so-called affiliate programs offer different commissions, you can find companies that pay from 10 percent to 75 percent of the price of the good sold.

So, if you'd rather not develop your own product and would prefer to sell someone else's, take some to time to research the most appropriate affiliate program. There are literally hundreds of these opportunities available through the Internet. In determining which affiliate program is right for you, consider these steps:

1- Always look for a program that pays you a commission based on a high percentage of the sale price.

2- Look for products that are unique.

3- Don't sign up for too many affiliate programs; it's better to concentrate on making the most from one or two.

Although there are hundreds of affiliate programs on the Web, I have picked a few for you to use in making some initial comparisons. To find other programs, use any search engine — I prefer Google — to look up “affiliate programs.”

Here are some of the top sites with the best programs. This list will get you started by giving you plenty of categories and a lot of programs to consider. Just choose wisely:

Note: Here is an extreme tip that has brought me a lot of customers and traffic!

Let's say a product sells for $100. You join an affiliate program that gives you 50 percent commissions on the products you sell. That means for every $100 product, you make $50. You can offer your customers a rebate of $15. Thus, your profit will be $35, but you will make up for the reduction by attracting huge volumes of traffic!

Affiliate link cloaker

This feature helps hide affiliate program links from visitors to your Web site. Sometimes people will not click on an affiliate link, but will instead go directly to the main URL of the product or company. In these cases, you do not receive commissions.

To solve this problem and increase your affiliate sales by 30 percent, replace your simple affiliate links with protected ones. To make protected, or cloaked, links, use the sites here or download a free program:
