How To Turn Any Product You Sell
Into Residual Income
The concept of this is for you to
offer a subscription
type product as an upsell or backend product. For
example, if you're selling an ebook for $37 offer a
subscription to a related e-zine for $9.95 a month.
Instead of an e-zine, it could be monthly updated
information for the ebook.
It's not just for e-books, you can make it work for
any product or service you sell. Some subscriptions
that might work for your product could be:
-
e-mail/telephone consulting
-
a private or members only web site
-
print newsletters/magazines
-
product updates
-
subscription warrantees
-
product insurance
-
e-zine/webzines
-
the ideas are endless.....
The subscription product should be related to the
product or service you're selling. You could charge
a weekly, monthly, or yearly subscription for the
upsell product. You could sell your main product
and upsell product as a total subscription package
deal. You wouldn't charge the one-time price for
your main product; you would just charge the basic
subscription price of the upsell product.
The major benefits are that you don't have to keep
creating new upsell and back end products. Once
you get enough subscribers you won't have to sell
anymore, you just keep generating income from
your current subscribers. You would only have to
sell again if you lost a lot of subscribers.

potential online customers.
Following up with them can increase your traffic
and sales.
The more times people see your ad, the greater
chance
they will buy your product or service.

e-mail
address. You can get their e-mail address by having
them
subscribe to your e-zine, fill out a web site form,
or e-mail
your follow-up autoresponder.
Most people won't give you their e-mail address
unless they
get something in return. The most effective way is
to offer
them an internet freebie. Here are some ideas.
Free E-Gifts
It could be free software, guest books, web space,
graphics
message boards, etc.
Free Internet Services
It could be free e-consulting, search engine
submissions,
web design, etc.
Free E-Information

e-course,
e-zine, etc.
When you follow-up with the freebie, you can include
your
ad somewhere on the freebie. If it's a free
service, have
your ad in the follow-up e-mail. Make sure you
always get
their permission before you follow-up with them by
e-mail.

Five Places Where You Can Find New
Products To Sell
Joint Venture Deals
Contact other business owners and ask them if you
can sell their products or services. The products or
services should be related to your target audience.
You could set up a deal to just market them and
receive a percentage of the profits.
Affiliate Programs
Join another businesses affiliate program. You just
sign-up at their web site and they give you a link
that tracks all your sales. Every time someone
orders
or clicks through your link you receive a
commission.
Wholesalers
You can buy products at a large discount through
a wholesaler. Just order the products from your
wholesaler of choice. When you receive the products
mark-up the price to the amount you want to sell
them for.
Reprint/Duplication Rights
Some businesses offer you the right to buy
licenses
to reprint or duplicate their products. You pay for
the license and then you can reproduce the product
and keep all the profits. The license stipulations
may
vary from business to business.
Drop Shippers
You can sign-up to a drop shipper program from
another business or wholesaler. When someone
orders the product, you keep a percentage of the
sale and send the rest of the order to the drop
shipper. The drop shipper will then ship the product
to your customer.
