Make Money Online Selling Online Products

August 22, 2009 · 29 comments

Make money online selling seems to be a very common method for every internet marketer or blogger who wants to make money online from the internet. Recently, I’ve read a few articles that talk about make money online selling, some of them used to make money by selling Amazon products, some of them used to make money online by selling domain, some of them used to make money by selling hosting plan, selling ebay products, online products such as OIO Publisher, Ninja Affiliates, and etc.

Another way that I used to make money online selling was selling Clickbank products, I’d made two sales last few weeks and it was quite interesting and fun to see the money credited into your account, but it was only $82.62. It was not much but I was happy to see that because it prove that I could make money online selling too as I’m new to selling online products field.

It’s not that easy to make money online selling online product, you need to know a little bit of SEO techniques and marketing strategies as well. For myself, I used to use article marketing to promote the Clickbank product, as what I mentioned in my previous post, I’ve done an experiment a month ago by using a free blog platform (Blogger.com) to promote the Clickbank product, it seemed to be working pretty well, I could had more sales if I spent more time on writing article in EzineArticles to promote the products.

I believe that most of you know what is a landing page, landing page is an attractive page with lots of content about the product, usually it used to attract visitor to click on the link or advertisement or product, so that they will buy a copy of the product, and you make a sale. Most probably people are using Pay Per Click search engine campaign such as Yahoo, MSN, or Google Adwords to promote the landing pages, but you might need to know the strategies or techniques on how to play with these, otherwise you’ll be losing money before making a profit. I’ll be getting into make money online selling by creating a landing page to promote a product by using Google Adwords, I’ll update you guys with the progress.

@Rick,
Thanks for reading Rick! Of course, SEO techniques is a must for people who want to make money online, if you’re going to use article marketing to promote your post, you might need to do some keyword optimization in the post, let’s say you submit article to EzineArticles, the post can easily get into Top 10 of the keyword that you optimized, if the post receives tons of traffic, then it may bring traffic to your site as well. Another point is that if the post has been indexed or has little Pagerank on it, then your link will be getting link juice, then your site will be ranking higher for the keyword link that you inserted in the post.

With that said, SEO techniques in article marketing is useful for make money online. :)

Not really related to landing pages but making money online by selling products. I’ve been working for a post some time now which is supposed to discuss how a majority of people making money online make their products by recommending other products to make money. Do you have any thoughts on this subject?

@Stefan,
Sorry Stefan, I’m not really understanding your statement, “I’ve been working for a post some time now which is supposed to discuss how a majority of people making money online make their products by recommending other products to make money“? Are you going to say “make their products or recommend others’ products to make money?”?
If you’re able to make your own products, then that’s good, but for people who doesn’t know how to make their own products, then they can only recommending other products to make money. :)

Stefan August 23, 2009 at 8:25 am

I’m sorry Lee. Not sure what I was thinking on writing that comment. Here follows a rewrite.

Without giving away to much I’m currently working on a post discussing the truth on how most of the MMO-people are making money. According to me a vast majority are making money simply by promoting products on how to make more money online. Since people are buying products through their site, they are making more money and ending up creating their own products on how they made money. Since more and more people are creating MMO-blogs everything continues as long as there are new money thrown into the system.

Hopefully I made myself a bit more clear now. And the question in the end was if you have any thoughts about this subject? I know how easy it’s to get stuck in something and don’t see how your thoughts are wrong. So, any thoughts would be appreciated.

@Stefan,
Yes Stefan it’s clearer now, I think this is what most of the MMO bloggers are doing nowadays, but not much people is success since all the information are almost the same. There are more and more MMO blogs built everyday, but most of them are writing the same thing that already have on the internet, of course I’m not saying that this blog is unique, sometimes we can just write whatever we learn and experience in making money online. Most of the MMO blog just want to earn your money and show them that they’re making money, so you follow him, this is not the wrong concept, it’s fact. You can see how John Chow get so many followers in his blog, because he was making $40,000 per month from his blog, so can you see that?

My conclusion is, there is no wrong to create own product after investing in buying other product, as long as they get the way on how to make money, and share with everyone. Anyway, there is no wrong or right about this matter, I think everyone has their own thought about this subject. :)

This is definitely a great way to make money online, but obviously takes skill and practice. $82.00 from selling products? Not bad at all Lee! I’ve never sold a product online (I’ve never really attempted either) but it looks quite difficult.

KaHoongChai August 23, 2009 at 3:16 am

@Gooroo,
Yea, I made $82+ from 2 sales, I was quite happy to see that as this was my first time sold a product. Perhaps you can try to pick a product, write about the product in your blog, and using article marketing in EzineArticles to promote the blog post, I’m sure you’ll see the result. It doesn’t difficult actually, but it takes a lot of time. ;)

Now I’m feel in love with article marketing because the result is awesome. Sometimes the impact of article marketing is greater than the graphic one.

And of course, the earning is increasing =D

@Mathew,
Yea, SEO is very important for a blog that needs more search engine traffic to convert to sales and make money online. We can be building our backlinks via article marketing too, the backlink in the article is more stronger than any other backlinks. Thanks for taking time to drop by and leave a comment! :)

Thanks for the link love Lee.

Yes, there are so many ways to make money selling products online. Creating your own and getting other people (affiliates) to market your product(s) for you is the best, as you have your own sales force who you don’t have to pay unless they make you a sale.

But you can make a ton of money being an affiliate as well, and the best part about that is you don’t have to create your own product… which is a great way to go for most people starting out. You just need to be creative in the way you promote them.

KaHoongChai August 26, 2009 at 7:55 pm

@Doug,
The best part of being an affiliate is that we don’t have to invest money before we make money, but I do think that promoting the product in the right way would help in getting more sales, so it doesn’t matter whether the product is ours or others. :)
And, you deserve for the link love Doug. :D

There is a lot of money to be made if you can find just the right products to sell online. I enjoy creating my own products to sell and selling clickbank products.

home based business August 25, 2009 at 8:33 pm

selling online product is definitely a successful method to earn money online, i just close 2 deals yesterday by selling a service, not much i did but just to open a thread in a niche related forum. The sales come in automatically….

I agree with marcus, finding the right product to sell is important.

Great post, and by the comments from Stefan it seems like you have another whole article to write. I think the main point behind your article is to show the many different methods to making money online. Not everyone will use the same techniques, but you should examine them all and make your decision.
Stefan’s view of having too many middle men peddling the same products is somewhat true, but the strong survive while the also-rands will fail and leave the marketplace. In order to be successful, you need to have a product that fills a need, service, or desire. You can’t hope to run a business based on ripping customers off and hoping to have an endless supply of cash spending victims.

@Mark Smith,
Thanks for commenting here Mark! And yes, we should always try all the methods too make money online, make money online always tied to trial and error. If you figure out a new method to make money online, you can share it and build reputation as well.
I understand what was Stefan’s view, but you know we need to spend a lot of money to create or invest a new product (If we don’t know how to create product), but it’s always good to have our own product. Also, we need to build relationship with anyone else in the market, so that we can get more sales in future. Healthy relationship is what that brings us to success! Also, nice to meet you Mark! :D
