How to build a website
If you want to learn how to build a real website that gets enough visitors to earn yourself a decent living then this article should probably help. I will also give you a good reference at the bottom of the article. With this article I am going to focus on why you need to have your own product. There are so many reasons to have your own product that it is a shame that everyone doesn’t see all of the advantages. So below will be a rundown of the advantages and in a future article I will show you how to build a product for very little money that could be a life changer for you. I recently read in a hub about the advantages of being an affiliate and how that is the most lucrative market to be in as an Internet marketer. As a beginner that article is absolutely correct, but consider just for a moment what would happen if you started out in a certain market as an affiliate and once you were making some money built your own product and became what that person called a whale. I really like then analogy of calling the person with the product the whale because it really fits. When you are a whale there isn’t really anything you need to be afraid of, not even the sharks. In fact the sharks come to you and make you fatter instead of trying to eat you.
Alright whales and sharks aside, the anatomy of building a great website should look a little something like this. You find a niche that you know you can exploit by doing all of the research necessary. Part of that research is finding a good affiliate product to promote. Start sending traffic to that product and making a little money. Once you are making money from an affiliate product that’s when you know for sure that it will be to your advantage to build your own and make even more money by selling your own.
One of the hardest things about marketing is building all of the relevant links to your site so that you get the traffic necessary to make decent money. If you have already done that as an affiliate then it will be easy to convert over to your own product. And here is where it gets really fun. When you have the product you can then concentrate on getting affiliates of your own and let them do most of the heavy lifting when it comes to link building. You can then concentrate on keeping your affiliates happy. Believe me when I tell you that happy affiliates will make you more money than you could possibly make on your own.
Pay your affiliates better than any other program in you niche, and give them bonuses whenever you can. You have to start thinking like the whale in that other hub and know the true value of a lifetime customer. A happy customer will make you money for many years to come so it should not be a concern to give away most if not all of the front end profit to your affiliates, just to get the customer. This is not the time to start getting greedy. If you need the money from the initial sale to pay your bills then it is not time to have your own product, you are still in the affiliate stage. I am not trying to suggest that you should not make any money from the initial sale and if sales are brisk enough then you will make money. And don’t forget that you get to keep 100% of the sales that you attract yourself.
