I’ll give you the direct answer with offers. In a sales cycle, you only have 3-phases: before, during and after. Now, your question touches each of these phases, so I’ll layout some quick tips for every one. Before * Build a compelling offer that is superior to your competitors * * Create an attractive service/value/selling/experience proposition, or create an unique offering. * Have a warranty. If everyone else give 30 days, go give 60 days, no questions asked. * Make a bolder promise. If they can promise the soap will wash, promise it will wash plus smell amazing. * Reduce risk to zero. If they only have a regular offer, you offer a free trial. * Influence people by social proof: Invite your friend a beer and get one free. * Influence people by expert-status: Buy this package and get a free consultation. * Influence people by unity: Join our Facebook community (and there you may give a discount coupon). * Create scarcity. Limit availability in a credible way or put a deadline. Offer expires in 4 hours (flash deals sites do this a lot!) * Create urgency: First 10 purchases will get a free pen. * Add bonuses! (That you wouldn’t sell on their own) - Also, sign your book as a memento for the early action-takers! * Add bonuses! By partnering with some complementary business. Like buy a massage session and get a coupon for relaxing oils. * Build a contest and offer something immediately after (you might entice it with more “tickets” if they buy something right now.) Everyone who signs-up to the list up to 2–29–1972 will get a chance to win a special beer jar. * Offering customizers: If possible, let the customer personalize the product (color, size, material, interior design…), tangible add-ons, related services and/or payment. * Add customer service in the consideration stage. Man there’s many, but these should get your sales sense tickling. During You’re “in front” of the prospect selling them directly. Say in the register. * Upsell: Do you want fries with that? (McDonalds). An upsell expands the product experience. * Cross-sell: Nice camera! Would you want a tripod with that? (Compliments the product) * One-time offer: Buyers of this package will have a premium membership for just one extra dollar. This deal is NEVER repeated. * Bundles. Remember Amazon “frequently bought together” * Recommendations. Oh, so you like 007, most people who liked this also liked the Bourne series, would you like to look at it? (Amazon reference again) * Bundle something tangible with something intangible. Like buy this BMW and get a complimentary high-speed driving lesson (also a bonus). * Package-based-selling: bundle some products tailored to a buyer persona. Student-kit, Office-kit, Travel-kit After After the customer left, but you’ve got his email or phone number on record. * Next-sell: What’s appropriate to offer her after he’s using something? That’s a nice camera you just bought. Would you be interested in some free Photoshop lessons? * Subscriptions. If it’s a sale that’s made frequently, make it automatic. * More subscriptions. What about a discount or loyalty card with attractive bonus offers or early access to events for frequent buyers? * Relationship enhancers. You bought a nice personal development book, how about a group session to get you to the next step? Or maybe a video course. Relationship-based selling furthers the customer status from basic to the most complete experience. * More recommendations as in during. * A service program for the during product. There’s been 8 months since your last dental check, OMG! Would you like to schedule a new one as Steve (your doctor) recommended ASAP? * More cross-sales. That’s a nice house you bought! Would you like a decorator? * Or in a smaller scale. That’s a cool phone! Why not protect it with this cool case? * Contests. All people who bought something from the store (say jeans) are entitled to win (an iPad?) if they buy at least $50 dollars worth in the next week. * Affiliate sale. They didn’t buy anything for a while even though you’ve made several offers (bummer), so you offer to present somebody else’s offer for a cut. * Discounted money: Today’s purchase value is your discount amount if you buy any of these: A, B, C, D… Never forget! The business relationship is born after the second sale. Finally, also offer something like an affiliate sale to all your unconverted leads (from before) to something you think they’ll want. If you get to talk to some of them you might get an idea. Example: You’re a high ticket analytics company - offer someone else’s more affordable system. Now let’s get some sales coming!

Indian government has been very laxregarding regulating e-commerce functions inIndia. Although there is dire need for e-commerce laws in India yet Indiangovernment has failed to address this crucialrequirement. There were also somespeculations that Telecom RegulatoryAuthority of India (TRAI) would regulate e-commerce in India. However, till now thereare no sign that Indian government wouldproperly regulate this much needed field.One area that is grossly neglected by Indiangovernment pertains to regulation of onlinepharmacies in India that are openly ignoringthe regulatory compliances in India. We atPerry4Law believe that online pharmacieslaws are urgently needed in India. Even thereis no synergy between Digital India, onlinepharmacies and healthcare laws of India.A dominant majority of the online pharmaciesfunctioning in India are being run in an illegaland unregulated manner. Many of such onlinepharmacies are already under regulatoryscanner. FDA Maharashtra has recentlyraided 27 online pharmacies located inMumbai. Maharashtra FDA has alsoapproached DCGI for regulating illegal onlinepharmacies operating in India. Surprisingly,many online pharmacies websites in India arecontrolled by underworld and organisedcriminal networks. We at Perry4Law havebeen consistently suggesting that illegalonline pharmacies and healthcare websites inIndia need to be curbed urgently.In a recent move, the Maharashtra’s Foodand Drug Administration (FDA) has orderedfiling of FIRs against Snapdeal.com as wellas against its CEO Kunal Bahl, directors anddistributors for online sale of prescriptiondrugs in derogation of Indian laws. FDACommissioner Harshadeep Kamble saidinvestigations into other e-commerce giantslike Flipkart and Amazon are also underprogress to ascertain if they are also involvedin such sales. As on date most of the e-commerce portals are selling prescribeddrugs in an illegal and unauthorised manner.Meanwhile Snapdeal has claimed that it isassisting the FDA team in this investigation.Snapdeal has also informed that it hasalready delisted the products and said sellersand also stopped payment. However, thisdoes not absolve Snapdeal of its legalobligations and liabilities under varioushealthcare laws of India. Further, Snapdealhas also failed to observe cyber law duediligence (PDF) that is very common in Indiathese days.“Jasper Infotech Pvt Ltd, throughSnapdeal.com offered for sale, exhibited forsale Vigora Tablets 100, a drug containingSildenafil citrate, to be sold on theprescription of a registered medicalpractitioner – specialist endocrinologist,venerologist, psychiatrist, dermatologist,”Kamble said. The drug was sold by “MittalPharma, Kota, Rajasthan, a seller inagreement with Jasper Ascoril Expectorant”,without prescription, he said. “The drug wasalso sold by Rishabh Enterprises, New Delhi,a seller in agreement with Jasper, to acustomer Amrut Bhagat of Panvel inMaharashtra’s Raigad district through acourier in agreement with Jasper, whocollected the cost of drug for Jasper,” hesaid. The officer said Jasper Infotech throughSnapdeal.com exhibited and offered for saleUNWANTED-72 sold by Horizon Medicals,Bangalore, and I-pill, sold by GirirajPharmacy in Gujarat’s Gandhinagar, sellers inagreement with Jasper.FDA has filed an FIR against the personsconcerned with Panvel police station, he said.FDA has also sent letters to State DrugsControllers for action against the concernedpeople in their states, Kamble said. Thecontraventions include sale of drug withoutlicence – Sections 18 (c), 18A, rw rules 65(3), 65(11), 65(17) punishable under Section27(b)(ii), 27(d) of Drugs and Cosmetics Act,1940; and Sections 3 and 4 of Drugs andMagic Remedies (ObjectionableAdvertisements) Act, 1954. If proven guilty,the offence carries imprisonment of 3 to 5years with fine of not less than Rs 1 lakh, headded.A special investigation team was formed tolook into the issue of violation by Snapdeal,Kamble added. The godowns of the companywere searched on April 16 and 20, he added.It was revealed that Jasper Infotech enteredinto agreements with different dealers ofmedicines located all over India to supply themedicines offered/exhibited for sale onSnapdeal.com and to collect the saleproceeds by Snapdeal on their behalf, theofficer said. It was found that the e-commerce major displayed and offered forsale about 45 drugs with objectionable claimswhich contravenes the provisions of Drugsand Magic Remedies (ObjectionableAdvertisements) Act, 1954.“Despite written commitment, it was foundthat Snapdeal continued to offer, exhibit forsale and sale of drugs, namely, I-pill and‘Unwanted 72′, emergency contraceptivedrugs, through its website,” he said. Kamblesaid he had asked the FDA team to purchasethe drugs online and accordingly drugs I-pilland Unwanted 72 were received on April 24.“Only a licensed retailer can offer for the saleof Schedule H drugs, and that too only on thebasis of prescription of doctor. Such type ofonline sale of drugs is not allowed as per theAct,” the FDA chief said.

As a startup founder of three years myself, I can relate to how legal housekeeping can be messy. Once a year, I have our own lawyers go through and do an audit of all of our legal paperwork (which costs a couple thousand dollars to be extremely thorough, but it’s worth it). Luckily, there are now many ways to easily manage and track all of your legal, financial, and HR documents via third-party sites that specialize in these management proceedings. I wrote a blog post about this awhile back titled “5 Ways to Save Time Dealing With Documents” which highlights certain sites that can be very beneficial depending on what paperwork you’d like to track or manage. They are as follows:1. GroupDocsGroupDocs is a new, comprehensive online service for document creation and management. It has multiple features, including a viewer for reading documents in your browser, an electronic signature service, an online document converter, a document assembly service, a feature for comparing different versions of a document, and an annotation feature. An individual plan is $10 per month for limited storage and 500 documents, while a group plan for up to 9 people is $19 per user per month. Based on the number of features and pricing, GroupDoc is a good-value purchase for a small business. As you’ll see below, GroupDocs can be cheaper than a service that offers only one such feature.2. signNowWhen you’re closing a deal and need to get documents signed, the last thing you need is a slow turnaround due to fax machine problems or the postal service. The solution is to use an electronic signature service such as signNow, which is one of the most popular e-signature companies in the world. This service allows you to email your documents to the person whose signature you need. Next, the recipient undergoes a simply e-signing process, and then signNow alerts you when the process is completed. Finally, signNow electronically stores the documents, which are accessible at any time. As a result, you can easily track the progress of the signature process and create an audit trail of your documents. The “Professional” plan is recommended for sole proprietors and freelancers, and costs $180 per year ($15 per month) for up to 50 requested signatures per month. The “Workgroup” plan is geared towards teams and businesses, and it costs $240 per user per year ($20 per month per user), for unlimited requested signatures.3. signNowsignNow is another e-signature service. Similar to signNow, signNow allows you to upload a PDF file, MS Word file or web application document. Next, you can edit the document, such as by adding initials boxes or tabs, and then email them out for signatures. Once recipients e-sign the document, signNow notifies you and archives the document. signNow offers low rates for these services: a 1-person annual plan with unlimited document sending costs $11 per month. An annual plan for 10 senders with unlimited document sending costs only $39 per month.4. ExariExari is a document assembly and contract management service that assists in automating high-volume business documents, such as sales agreements or NDAs. First, the document assembly service allows authors to create automated document templates. No technical knowledge is required; most authors are business analysts and lawyers. Authors have a variety of options for customizing documents, such as fill-in-the-blank fields, optional clauses, and dynamic updating of topic headings. They also can add questions that the end user must answer. Once you send out the document, the user answers the questionnaire, and Exari uses that data to customize the document. Next, the contract management feature allows you to store and track both the templates and the signed documents. Pricing is based on the size and scope of your planned implementation, so visit their website for more information.5. FillanyPDFIt’s a hassle having to print out PDF forms in order to complete them. Fortunately, FillanyPDF is a service that allows you to edit, fill out and send any PDFs, while entirely online. This “Fill & Sign” plan costs $5 per month, or $50 per year. If you subscribe to the “Professional” plan, you can also create fillable PDFs using your own documents. With this service, any PDF, JPG or GIF file becomes fillable when you upload it to the site. You can modify a form using white-out, redaction and drawing tools. Then, you can email a link to your users, who can fill out and e-sign your form on the website. FillanyPDF also allows you to track who filled out your forms, and no downloads are necessary to access these services.  The “Professional” plan costs $49 per month, or $490 per year.Switching firms can be a hassle. As a former startup attorney, I have a bit of advice about finding the right attorney for your business: it’s best to focus on the specific attorney you’ll be working with. He or she should have a solid understanding of the ins and outs of your business industry, a deep knowledge of the legal issues your startup may face, and previous work experience with startups to ensure a quality and efficient work product. This is absolutely key when matching our startup clients at UpCounsel to attorneys on our platform who can perform their legal work and hash out their legal projects in a timely manner. We also allow clients to store any and all of their legal documents directly on UpCounsel so they don’t have to go searching in alternative places for the correct paperwork. It’s proven to be a free and lightweight way to store legal documents that our clients love. Here's what it looks like:As I’ve mentioned, it’s more important to find the right attorney as opposed to the right law firm. And seeing as you’re a startup, our own startup clients typically save an average of 50-60% on their legal work, since the attorneys don't include overhead fees (a.k.a. the fees included for doing business with the firm itself) in their invoices.Hope this gives you a deeper look into what other sites and services are out there. If you have any questions or would like more information on how best to handle your legal housekeeping/ attorney matters, feel free to signNow out to me directly. As a former startup attorney at Latham & Watkins, I’d be happy to give you some guidance.

Hold your launch event and start selling. Those are the first 50 steps to being ready to sell your product.

Hire a team to fulfill your orders and provide customer service. 52. Start an affiliate program or distributor program, which enables you to get other people to sell your product for you for a percentage of the sale. 53. Recruit affiliates and distributors. 54. Set up an ad tracking system so you can track your advertising and the results, conversion rates, and cost per lead. 55. Try different online advertising techniques like cost-per-click advertising with a small test budget. 56. Get some results for that advertising. 57. Optimize and scale it as needed. 58. Determine the cost of acquisition per lead for each channel. 59. Determine the conversion rate for each channel. Then you can combine those to determine the customer acquisition cost by channel. 60. Calculate the lifetime value (LTV) of a customer. Once you know that, you’ll know how much you can spend to acquire a new customer, which is critical to being able to scale your business’s marketing scientifically. If you can combine great storytelling with scientific marketing and trackable channels, you can rapidly grow your sales. 61. Test your marketing and advertising with a bigger budget now that you know your LTV. 62. Test social advertising and display ads, and calculate the return on investment. 63. Scale your advertising up until the marginal cost of customer acquisition is equal to the marginal return from that customer acquired. 64. Optimize your advertising to bring down your customer acquisition cost. 65. Collect testimonials and use cases from those customers and perhaps even build a few PDF case studies. 66.

Create an employee directory, once you get beyond a handful of employees. 72. Begin reviewing your profit and loss (or your income statement) and your balance sheet monthly. 73. Compare your initial forecast with actual results. Take the budget that you created before you began and compare that initial pro forma forecast with your actual profit and loss results. Compare the deltas and talk about them as you create your next iteration of your budget. Eventually you’ll begin creating budgets annually and locking in those budgets and calling those the plan, and then comparing actual results on a monthly basis against your annual board-approved plan. 74. Hire your first salesperson. 75. Create a sales compensation plan that enables you to pay someone either on a percentage of sales basis or based on the units they deliver by converting customers or up-selling customers. 76. Set up a company healthcare program and other benefits for your employees. 77. Establish your vacation policy. 78. Test offline advertising carefully. You’ll want to put some toes in the water around offline advertising like direct mail or maybe local radio, and begin to test and get results and determine if it works for you. It takes a lot of testing to make your offline advertising scale. 79. Create an online wiki or intranet for your company where you can keep track of your processes. 80. Create a digital company handbook that can be edited and improved by your employees, like a Wikipedia article. 81. Open up a credit line with your bank. The best time to go after funding is when you don’t need it. If things are going well, go ahead and open that credit line. 82. Create an offsite work policy. Some of your employees may want to work remotely. Generally, as long as they’re getting their work done and are able to show up to the meetings you do have, which should be pretty minimal initially, you should be able to enable them to work offsite a couple days a week. 83. Once you can show that $1 in means $4 in revenue, raise capital.Until then, bootstrap as much as you can. Only raise your initial round of capital once you have a mathematical model for scalability, then go out and raise a true series A round of funding if you choose. 84. Create a list of firms from which to raise initial growth funding. 85. Update your pitch deck with the new data, new mentors, and new team members. 86. Build relationships with industry bloggers and different people in the media. 87. Seek product reviews. 88. Hire an Executive Assistant (EA) or an office manager to manage your schedule and the business’s day-to-day tasks. 89. Hold your first company retreat. 90. Take customer feedback and improve your product. You will want to create a product management process to incorporate customer feedback on an ongoing basis. Use this process to take your initial alpha, turn it into a beta, and then turn it into a general release, incrementally improving as you go. 91. Get connected to investors through people you know. 92. Have initial get-to-know-you meetings for investor feedbackabout six to nine months before you’re ready to raise capital. 93. Under-promise and over-deliver on your financial and milestone results for the next 90 days. 94. Determine how much capital to raise. A good rule of thumb is to raise at least twice as much as you’re going to need for the next one year of operations. 95. Return to the firms you like for partner presentations. 96. Do 20 partner presentations in 1-2 weeks. You need to have a disciplined, tight process for this. 97. Get at least two term sheets. 98. Negotiate and sign a term sheet. 99. Complete all the diligence requests that come to you 100. Close on your investment capital. Make sure the wire hits your bank account. Now it’s time to grow and scale a real company. The hard work now begins

Ok, I have thought about this a lot having worked on a business plan/model in this space. The next great ecommerce phenomenon will be:FUN. Like not just fun because you got a great deal, or the site has great marketing and is Flashy. Hanging out with your friends at the mall when you're 14 years old was probably the last time you had a FUN experience that involved consumerism. And do you realize it was fun even though you had maybe $18 to spend on something shitty from Anchor Blue or that one pink and black chain (I forgot the name) that sold vaguely adult products. Now all your experiences online or offline are tinged with the maniacal pressure to get the best F-ing deal on the planet, or the sublimated guilt of spending more money than you really feel comfortable doing on some "brand", but hey it's Amazon Prime and it will be here in 36 hours so it's OK! Neither of these scenarios are really pure FUN FUN FUN 'till your daddy takes your T-Bird away.PRODUCT DRIVEN. Both in the sense that the site will be a PRODUCT that the web hasn't seen before: not just a marketing or business model gimmick, or smartly targeted audience segment, or whatever. And in the sense that the PRODUCTS you buy will be front and center in the experience.Will CHANGE what "buying" actually MEANS. Every ecommerce business model I've seen to date actually underwhelms because it aims far too low. The point of the web is that it makes it possible to actually change the definition of vocabulary words we use day in and day out through novel experiences. But all these fancy deal-a-day-private-sale-curated sites still mean "buying" when they say "buying". Thats boring!Will be acutely aware of MIMETIC DESIRE and the full implications of Rene Girard's thinking on modern consumer behavior.So that's my tease about what I think/know the next phenomenon will look like, at least in my imagination. Peace out!

Try different online advertising techniques like cost-per-click advertising with a small test budget.56. Get some results for that advertising. 57. Optimize and scale it as needed.58. Determine the cost of acquisition per lead for each channel.59. Determine the conversion rate for each channel. Then you can combine those to determine the customer acquisition cost by channel.60. Calculate the lifetime value (LTV) of a customer. Once you know that, you’ll know how much you can spend to acquire a new customer, which is critical to being able to scale your business’s marketing scientifically. If you can combine great storytelling with scientific marketing and trackable channels, you can rapidly grow your sales.61. Test your marketing and advertising with a bigger budget now that you know your LTV. 62. Test social advertising and display ads, and calculate the return on investment. 63. Scale your advertising up until the marginal cost of customer acquisition is equal to the marginal return from that customer acquired.64. Optimize your advertising to bring down your customer acquisition cost.65. Collect testimonials and use cases from those customers and perhaps even build a few PDF case studies.66. Create social word of mouth for your product, using a tool like HootSuite to manage what’s being said in the media about you, your product, and your brand.67. Create a YouTube video promoting your product.68. Attend an industry trade show or conference.69. Consider selling your product in bulk at wholesale to get more sales and initial brand awareness.70. Bring on a bookkeeper to automate your accounting system so you can stop doing it yourself now that you may have started to have some real revenues.71. Create an employee directory, once you get beyond a handful of employees.72. Begin reviewing your profit and loss (or your income statement) and your balance sheet monthly.73. Compare your initial forecast with actual results. Take the budget that you created before you began and compare that initial pro forma forecast with your actual profit and loss results. Compare the deltas and talk about them as you create your next iteration of your budget. Eventually you’ll begin creating budgets annually and locking in those budgets and calling those the plan, and then comparing actual results on a monthly basis against your annual board-approved plan.74. Hire your first salesperson. 75. Create a sales compensation plan that enables you to pay someone either on a percentage of sales basis or based on the units they deliver by converting customers or up-selling customers.76. Set up a company healthcare program and other benefits for your employees.77. Establish your vacation policy. 78. Test offline advertising carefully. You’ll want to put some toes in the water around offline advertising like direct mail or maybe local radio, and begin to test and get results and determine if it works for you. It takes a lot of testing to make your offline advertising scale.79. Create an online wiki or intranet for your company where you can keep track of your processes.80. Create a digital company handbook that can be edited and improved by your employees, like a Wikipedia article.81. Open up a credit line with your bank. The best time to go after funding is when you don’t need it. If things are going well, go ahead and open that credit line.82. Create an offsite work policy. Some of your employees may want to work remotely. Generally, as long as they’re getting their work done and are able to show up to the meetings you do have, which should be pretty minimal initially, you should be able to enable them to work offsite a couple days a week.83. Once you can show that $1 in means $4 in revenue, raise capital.Until then, bootstrap as much as you can. Only raise your initial round of capital once you have a mathematical model for scalability, then go out and raise a true series A round of funding if you choose.84. Create a list of firms from which to raise initial growth funding.85. Update your pitch deck with the new data, new mentors, and new team members.86.

Hire an Executive Assistant (EA) or an office manager to manage your schedule and the business’s day-to-day tasks.89. Hold your first company retreat.90. Take customer feedback and improve your product. You will want to create a product management process to incorporate customer feedback on an ongoing basis. Use this process to take your initial alpha, turn it into a beta, and then turn it into a general release, incrementally improving as you go.91. Get connected to investors through people you know. 92. Have initial get-to-know-you meetings for investor feedbackabout six to nine months before you’re ready to raise capital.93. Under-promise and over-deliver on your financial and milestone results for the next 90 days.94. Determine how much capital to raise. A good rule of thumb is to raise at least twice as much as you’re going to need for the next one year of operations.95. Return to the firms you like for partner presentations.96. Do 20 partner presentations in 1-2 weeks. You need to have a disciplined, tight process for this.97. Get at least two term sheets. 98. Negotiate and sign a term sheet. 99.

I am excited to write this answer. You know why? Because I love Affiliate Marketing. I started my Affiliate Marketing career almost 4 years back and today I am one of the top affiliate marketers of many big brands. Not only this, I deliver talks on Affiliate Marketing in conferences as well. Feel free to read my other Quora answer to know how Affiliate marketing has changed my life: AnkitSingla's answer to Can you really make signNow money using affiliate marketing? [ https://www.quora.com/Can-you-really-make-signNow-money-using-affiliate-marketing/answer/AnkitSingla ] I have positioned myself as a strategic affiliate marketer. That’s why I strongly believe I have the authority to answer this question. Enough said, let’s begin: First and foremost, let’s understand… What is Affiliate Marketing? You promote third party’s products to your audience and you get commission on each verified sale. Did you notice something? Above I have highlighted the term “audience.” Because having an audience is crucial in Affiliate Marketing only then you can sell your products to them. Now let’s discuss… How To Build Audience For Affiliate Marketing? There are multiple ways to build an audience base. Like: * Having followers on social media * Writing answers on Quora (like this one :D) * Uploading videos on YouTube * etc. You can try these things to build your audience base. All these methods are great. But… There is one problem with these platforms. These platforms are not yours. You have no control on these platforms and your account can be banned anytime and if you are solely dependant on these platforms for your affiliate marketing career, then it can be vanished overnight. Now you might ask: So Ankit where to build the audience? What is the best way to build audience for Affiliate Marketing? My answer is: Blogging! Blogging is the best thing you can start to make handsome money with Affiliate Marketing. You write on a particular niche (the one you are most passionate and knowledgable about), gradually you build up your audience and you start promoting relevant and helpful products to them. You have full control over your blog and the audience you build. Agree? But here is one thing you need to understand. Not every niche is perfect for Affiliate Marketing. Now you might be thinking, Ankit then… How To Find A Perfect Niche For Affiliate Marketing? Well, as per my 4 years of Affiliate Marketing experience, a niche must have 3 qualities: 1. Low competition 2. Profitability 3. Link Opportunities I have explained all these 3 points in one of my YouTube videos. Feel free to watch it here. [ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vonEGclnBmo ] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vonEGclnBmo Once you are ready with your niche, next thing you need is a PRODUCT or several niche related products to promote. Why finding the products before even writing a single blog post is important? It is important so that you could plan your content calendar. And keep a proper vision is always good. Isn’t it? Now let’s quickly learn: How To Find Products For Affiliate Marketing? There are many ways to find the products, but I like these 3 the most: 1. Ask Google: Search niche + affiliate programs on Google and from there you can easily get some good affiliate products to pick. 2. Join Affiliate Marketplaces or Affiliate Networks: Affiliate marketplaces like ShareASale, CJ, etc. have tons of good products to pick. Just go to their category pages and pick any relevant product. 3. Spy your Competitors: Closely observe what your competitors are doing. Which products they are promoting. f you believe you can promote these products better than your competitors, then just do it. This way you can easily find your niche relevant affiliate products. I hope I explained this point well. Feel free to watch another video of mine on 3 Great ways to find Affiliate Products just in case you need more clarity.
