I’m sure you have heard or read that you need to have your own product to make any money.

“Ideas are easy. It’s the execution of ideas that really separates the sheep from the goats”.
Sue Grafton

Let’s look at the reason’s why we would want to create our own product.

Reason #1 Control

  • You’re not dependent on someone else for your income.
  • You’re the master of your own destiny.
  • Affiliate programs can be good when first starting… the owner of the product handles all the details. You won’t have to worry about inventory and delivery, billing or customer support. You spend your time on promotion.

    But what if your affiliate commission rate is lowered? What if the product is pulled off the market? What if all your affiliate programs aren’t enough to cover these loses?

    Reason #2 Achievement

  • You can use your knowledge and put your heart and soul into creating a product that is great.
  • You can created something unique.
  • You can have all the money, glory and fame because you did it.
  • When promoting another persons product you’re building their business and success. Plus you can’t keep all the money.

    Reason#3 Confidence

  • You know all the ins and outs of your product.
  • You can confidently talk about the benefits.
  • You can listen to your customer’s feedback and use it to improve your product.
  • If your customer’s have a problem with the affiliate product all you can do is pass this information onto the creator. He is the only one that can change the product. You can’t do a thing with your customer’s feedback.

    Reason #4 Consistency

  • All the customer’s are your own which makes it easy to build a long term relationship with them.
  • You are much more likely to be consistent in your communication.
  • You can build a long-term relationship with your customers through newsletters, special offers and hot new products. Ask your customers for feed back and prevent any problems before they start.

    Reason #5 Income

  • Having your own product line is a wonderful way to develop multiple streams of income. This gives you the option to concentrate on your own success and on your own terms. Now that’s a plan!
  • In future posts we’ll look at different methods for creating information products. It doesn’t have to be like pulling teeth from a hen. Done correctly it can be very rewarding for you and your customer.

    To your success,
