Five Quickest Ways To Massive Windfalls Of Cash Online
by Ewen Chia
These days everyone wants to know how to make money online. Yet, for some, this lifestyle
seems out of reach. Does this describe you at all?
If you've been banging your head against the wall trying to figure out the quickest and
easiest methods to generate cash for yourself online, then these five tactics should have
you opening your eyes wide and wondering: "Why didn't I think of this before?"
Cash Tactic Number 1: Affiliate Products
Affiliate products offer the small, home-based business owner the opportunity to make
truckloads of cash, while investing a minimum in over head. Low overhead is the primary
benefit of affiliate marketing. You don't need your own merchant account. You don't need
to pay a web designer and programmer to create a huge e-store for you. You don't handle
customer complaints, refunds or returns... All you do is refer the prospect to the
merchant's site, and the merchant handles the rest.
I believe the best affiliate products are information products. Your commissions on
information products tend to be higher simply because the author can price an information
product higher than what the average shopper spends on a tangible product sold online
on a typical day. This is because the value of information is ambiguous at best, and
subjective to how the prospect sees value. People are willing to spend much, much more
in order to acquire a solution to their problems.
Cash Tactic Number 2: Resale Rights
Resale rights are the lazy marketer's salvation. You don't have to create your own product.
You don't have to write a single word. You may not even have to lift a finger on sales
page creation when the resale product comes with a ready-to-upload sales page. All you
do is pay the licensing fee to acquire rights to the product, perform a small amount of
editing to change the payment link over to yours, and upload the sales page and product
file to your web server.
The trend is taking a turn for the better in 2005 while the marketing world goes
through its latest "next big thing": niche marketing. Today, you can find products with
resale rights for such things as cooking, golf, arts and crafts, self-improvement and more.
Seizing on the profits promised by demand for niche products, there are dozens of new
authors out there who have devoted themselves to turning out these niche products, and
offering them with resale rights.
Cash Tactic Number 3: Special Reports
A special report is a 'mini e-book' of no more than about 5 to 12 pages in length. While
you can certainly create a mini-ebook that sells (provided the information it contains
is perceived to be valuable enough), the best use of a short report is as a lead
generating tool for your affiliate campaigns.
The mini-ebook is the ideal viral tool. You create (or acquire) a mini-ebook which is
branded with your affiliate links and/or your main URL. The focus of the report should
be niche specific and completely focused on the pre-selling of the affiliate product.
Cash Tactic Number 4: Interviews
It's a piece of cake to churn out products created from interviews. In fact, it may be
one of the laziest content generation methods available. Interview packaging is easy,
too. You can present the interview as a written transcript, an audio transcript, or both.
You can offer a downloadable mp3 file or you can burn the entire interview to CD, put
an attractive label on it, and instantly raise your price by at least 30%.
Cash Tactic Number 5 Teleseminars
Do you want to know something interesting about teleseminars? While they're becoming a
popular marketing method, the field is really wide open for you to cash in on them
because very few marketers understand how to pull them off.
A teleseminar requires advance planning and a willingness to overcome a bit of stage
fright. The average marketer in competition with you avoids teleseminars for these reasons.
They're intimidated by the idea of showing up on time and speaking, even via telephone,
to an audience of a couple hundred people.
