1) There are three broad categories of products to sell online: your own products, affiliate products, and resale products. 2) Selling your own products gives you full control but requires creating the product. Electronic products allow immediate delivery. You can recruit affiliates to sell for you without advertising costs. 3) With affiliate products, you promote others' products and earn commissions. Look for merchants with great sales materials and high conversion rates, not just commission percentage.

1. Which Products To Sell On The
Internet?

2. Internet home business beginners are usually undecisive
over what products to start selling when they start a web
business. Here are some information that might be of
help.

3. There are basically three broad categories of product
types:

4. 1) Own product

5. Many successful Internet marketers have at least one
product they call their own. This is one of the fastest way
to get your name out on the web. Having your own
product gives you full control over pricing, design, joint
venture deals and bonus materials.

6. If you do decide on creating and selling your own product,
your next step would be to choose between portable
electronic version or physical version. Most marketers
woud prefer the former because there's no inventory
costs. But the most important element is, electronic
products like ebooks or MP3s allow for immediate
delivery. And this appeals to buyers because they get
access to the products instantaneously, satisfying their
desire for instant gratification.

7. One advantage of having your own product means
recuiting others (affiliates) to sell for you. You pay them
commission only when sales are made. You get tons of
targeted visitors but don't spend a cent on advertising.

8. However, to recruit good affiliates, even super affiliates,
you need to have a set of promotional materials ready for
them to use. Don't invite them to sign up your affiliate
program and leave them to fend for themselves.

9. Of course the product itself must be of high quality or
you'll see refund requests faster than you can sell. Your
reputation gets ruined, your affiliates dump you and it's
going to be difficult to regain customers' trust.

10. 2) Affiliate Products

11. Like I mentioned above, an affiliate promotes someone
else's products and get paid commission when sales are
made. Many Internet marketing beginners will start with
this type of selling as it is low costs and some of the pay
outs are pretty generous.

12. But how do you choose which merchant's products to sell?
Many people will look at the rate of commission payout by
the merchants to decide WHICH products to sell, but be
careful, it may just backfire.

13. First, always think from the customer's point of view. Take
a good look at the merchant company's website, does it
make you want to buy if you were the customer? Does it
have compelling copy to make you click on that "order"
button? If the mechant does a lousy job convincing
potential buyers, then it won't matter even if they pay out
90% commission to you. Remember, you have done the
work and send visitors to the merchants, all your effort
and time are wasted if they fail to convert.

14. So look for merchants who are helpful and have great
sales materials you can use like banners and sales
messages. Successful affiliates are usually those who are
promoting good merchant products, even with low
commission rates.

15. Please note that this is a brief introduction to affiliate
marketing, to learn more, visit Wealth Affiliate.com or
Affiliate Classroom. Both offer excellent in-depth coaching
and training programs to beginners.

16. 3) Resale Products

17. There are some products where you can resell after you
have purchase it yourself. These products come with what
is called Resell Rights. There are "Master Resell Rights"
and "Resell Rights".

18. Master Resell Rights give you the full right to either sell or
give the product away. You can even pass along the resell
rights to your customers.

19. Resell Rights on the other hand, just gives you the right to
sell the product, you may or may not give it away and you
cannot transfer the rights to your customers. Meaning
your customers cannot sell the product like you can.

20. While this article is not exhaustive, it is hopeful that the
information above can help you make a decision on what
to sell as a start and then move on from there. Usually
Internet marketing beginners will start with affiliate
marketing because it costs the least and you have no
inventory or customer service to worrry about.

21. Personally I would suggest you do the same: start with
affiliate marketing and get into a coaching program like
the Affiliate Classroom. Learn from those who are
successful and take action.
