This is the moment you've all been waiting for, you are waiting for my to disclose exactly what products I sell and how I do it. Well, I'll disclose some of the more profitable items that I have found and I have already told you how I do it, using a combination of the 5 methods above.
The majority of my profits come from a company called ClickBank which is a digital product merchant. Basically I sell guides, software, books, etc. through them for a commission, I typically only accept a 50% or higher commission which is far higher than the industry standard 20% commission.
There are 100's of thousands of products to choose from, I suggest finding the “low gravity” items which are the less popular ones as they might be high quality products, they simply don't have many affiliates selling for them which is optimal as it decreases competition. I try to aim for products that give me a commission around $12.
My favorite product at the moment is called “ Instant Cover Creator” it is a product that creates logo's for professional looking ebook graphics that take ~10 seconds to create (I created the graphics for this book with it). The great thing about it is that the resale license is being sold with it, which makes for a huge selling point considering that the majority of people buying this product will be full fledged affiliate marketers and will see the potential in it. If you'd like to sell it yourself here's a link to the affiliate site: Affiliates.
Along with Clickbank I also sell a few independent products that bring in a good commission, among these I would highly recommend signing up for free as an affiliate for Aweber, this is great because I can market it within my newsletter itself and there are many that wish to emulate me. If you'd like to sign up for their affiliate program click here: Aweber Affiliates.
