One of the best and easiest ways to make money is to sell products and services. With your Web site or online newsletter you can make good money by selling items that people want to buy. If you don't have a unique product or service of your own to sell you can always sell the products of other companies. As an affiliate or reseller you get a commission or a percentage of every item you sell.
The percentage can range from 1% to 100%. With a commission of 100% you actually buy reprint rights to a product like software or ebooks. You can then sell the products and keep all of the profits for yourself. You can also repackage the products, combine them with other programs you have reprint rights to and create you own product. Your opportunities are only limited by your imagination and the copyright laws.
You can sell almost anything you want. Whatever your passion or interest you can find a product and sell it. But it is always best to start out with a niche market or a specialized area.
You can't be all things to all people, at least not at the beginning. Having a narrow focus when you first start to sell is a smart business decision. Even Amazon.com started out selling just books and slowly expanded to selling pretty much everything, from furniture to underwear.
I have read that some people make six figures a year with their affiliate programs. Some are even millionaires. It all starts with finding a good product or products to sell and then marketing them to their targeted audience.
There are many affiliate networks that offer numerous products to choose from. Sign up is always free. Categories run the gamut from accessories, automotive, and food to investments, sports, and real estate. Services can include Web hosting and domain name registration.
Below are four affiliate networks that you can join for free. Each network takes care of the finances. They collect your commissions and keep track of all your sales. They then pay you what you made from your sales, usually on a monthly basis. And you can always check your progress through your online account manager.
Commission Junction -
On the homepage click on "CJ Vantage." This leads to another page where you can click on "Publisher" which is another name for affiliate or associate. The "CL Marketplace" link leads you to the list of companies looking for people to sell their products and services. But I think you have to sign up first.
If you don't get a welcoming letter from CJ, enter your username in the login form. Ask that your password be sent to you. If you get a password then you know your application was approved. This is how I find out I was accepted by CL. (I could not find an email address for customer service.)
Also CJ gives you a password that you can never remember (it is random letters and numbers) and apparently you can't change your password to something that is easy to remember. I find the site hard to navigate and needlessly complicated.
Clickbank -
Clickbank is much easier to navigate with links such as "Buy Products," "Sell Products" and "Promote Products" on the homepage. Click on "Attract More Customers" and this tells you how Clickbank works and leads you to the sign up page. Clickbank has a one-page sign up and is the simplest of all four affiliate networks.
ShareaSale -
This site is even easier to navigate. All the links you want - to sign up, to look for products- are on the homepage in the left-hand column. But affiliate signup is a five step process.
LinkShare - You can easily find the link for signing up on the homepage. But the application is a four stop process. With this company you have to sign up before you get to view the available products and services.

How To Find Great Products To Sell
Will 2008 Mark the Beginning of NetWEB Marketing?
Near the end of 2007, Mike Filsaime and Ellie Drake who are well-known Internet marketer and network marketer respectively launched two reports within a week of each other:
- the death of network marketing
- the birth do network marketing
The reports mentioned that they will not be selling anything ... except that their mission was to help to change the face of network marketing.
And if you had followed along, they conducted a teleseminar after that that charges 20 bucks for a supposedly valued-at-200 bucks call in which they pitched a membership community - with even charter membership upgrade that will be given a copy of Mike Filsaime's butterfly marketing. (Did you read that? They promised not to be selling anything!)
Well, NetWEB marketing - as they called it - is nothing more than applying the principles of Internet marketing to the field of MLM - that many Internet-savvy network marketers have been calling it as 'Internet MLM' (thus, the name of this blog) for several years now.
While the way Mike Filsaime and Ellie Drake launched their new product, a membership community, was brilliant marketing, I fully agree with the forward looking concept of looking towards the Internet as the key to a successful home based MLM or network marketing business, or better still, just to make money online in an ethical way by providing products that are of value to the buyers. Why do I say that?
Simply because this is the catch if we simply think hard about it ...
If we're only contacting a warm list of contacts, most of us have a only a couple of hundreds (or at most a few thousand contacts if one is an extreme networker who meets new people everyday) of prospects.
However, if you're making use of the internet to generate leads for your home based business, you're looking at millions, if not billions, of people who are your possible prospects. In fact, all you need is just a fraction of a fraction of these people becoming your downline and you will be enjoying a monthly passive income way beyond your wildest dreams!
So, will this year be your year where you utilizing a NetWEB an Internet MLM system to skyrocket your business?
