13 Reasons Why You Should Create Product!

by Osman on January 6, 2009

in Product Creation

Isn’t it plain obvious who makes the most money online? The majority of those online profit makers have their own products that generate wealth for them. 

The benefits are crystal clear, nevertheless I’ve listed below thirteen reasons why you should consider creating products to sell online:

Reason #1: Branding Purposes

Look around the internet. Study what all the top online marketers are doing. I’ve noticed that these established and successful ones build not just a business, but also a branding that separates them from others who just get by.

Are you wondering what’s all this have to do with product creation? 

Now, the branding they’re building may never materialise without creating products to sell in the first place. It’s the critical opening step to take to build a real online business, let alone to create a brand.

Reason #2: Get an Expert Status

Who do most people follow closely online? Yes, it’s the experts whom we try to model after and learn from in the niche we’re in. 

Next question, what is it that give them the expert title? To be an expert, you’ll need to have an intimate knowledge in the market you’re in…but then again, you can have all the knowledge in the world and yet no one knows about you if you don’t have a way of presenting it to them. 

Experts get to be one for the knowledge and information they possess that is packaged into a product for all to see…and BUY. It can be in any form, eg. ebook, physical book, video, audio, seminar, literally anything.

And the cost they have to pay is…of having large followers tracking their every footprint. How nice. :)

Reason #3: Total product control

As the product owner, you’re in control of your product. You determine the pricing. You decide whether to have affiliate program for it and if so, how much commission to pay your affiliates. Or maybe you’d like to offer any kind of product rights to your buyers. And so on.

Reason #4: Expand Your Marketing Knowledge

Once you’ve been through creating products, naturally you’d want to have a website ready to sell them on. You’ll also want to get your product graphics done.

You may also like to have an upsell and/or downsell or other marketing strategy set up on your site. Perhaps even automate the whole marketing process, leaving you free to concentrate on other important things. 

By going through the processes to sell your product, you’re actually building a real online business. This can only help to develop your marketing skills which can only do good for you and your business.

Reason #5: Have Your Own Affiliates

With an in-demand quality product with generous commissions, you can easily entice affiliates to promote your product. This ultimately brings home more profits for you. It’s a real win-win situation for both you and your affiliates. 

Reason #6: Primary Source of Income

If you’re only looking to make a side income, then it’s fine to just focus on affiliate marketing. But if building a successful internet business is what you’d like to have, then you’ll need to have your own products to sell. 

Simply look at all the successful affiliate marketers around. What do you think they do? Only focus on affiliate marketing and nothing else? Yes, super affiliate like Ewen Chia make tons of money online…by having his own range of products online!

Reason #7: Expand Business Growth

The more products you have in the market, the more income streams you’ll be generating…with each spilling cash for you. And thus, it can only result in the expansion of your business growth. 

Reason #8: Develop Bigger Products For Huge Profits

Of course the more advanced and more successful you get, the bigger the and more diverse products you’d want to create, eg. having your own coaching program or even a real live seminar. You may even want to have your own physical book to sell on Amazon and bookstores all over the world.

Just take a look at people like Mark Joyner, Jim Edwards, Yanik Silver and many others who’ve their own books written once they’ve made a name for themselves online. 

Reason #9: Affiliate Links In Your Products

If you’re writing an ebook, you can insert links to other products you promote as an affiliate too as an additional profit generator. I’m sure you’ve read and seen many ebooks with links littered throughout, plus a resource section right at the bottom promoting other affiliate products. 

The only way you’ll get to do the same with other marketers’ products is if they allow you to rebrand it with your affiliate link. Then again, they’ll gain more than you do.

Anyway, the method above doesn’t just apply to ebooks alone…you can also promote affiliate products in any other types of products you create.

Reason #10: Easily Acquire Joint Venture Approval

Once you’ve developed into a product creation expert, you’ll find it easy to get the approval from most marketers you approach to do Joint Venture with. You may offer to create product together with/for them and split the profits. 

Beside, being an expert also mean getting a lot of Joint Venture offers from other marketers who wish to work with you.

Reason #11: Sell Your Service

If you can write, you can offer your service as a ghostwriter. There are many people out there constantly looking for writers to create product for them. Or if your expertise is in audio/video creation, programming or any other type of skills, you may sell your service by creating products for others.

Reason #12: Build A Huge List By Giving Away Free Product

Build your list faster by giving away free quality product you’ve created to your market. One way is to approach list owners whose products complement yours and offer your product as a gift to their subscribers. Or you could give away your product in a giveaway event to generate leads from it. 

There are endless ways you could possibly do with your own product to build your list faster. 

Reason #13: Benefit By Solving Other Peoples’ Problems

One of the good thing about creating product is the ability to solve problems others are facing. Aside from the obvious monetary benefit you gain, your customers will thank you for creating the product if it provides solution and help them in their problems.

There’s a quote by Sales guru, Zig Ziglar, that rings very true:
“You will get all you want in life if you help enough other people get what they want.”

So, go ahead and create your quality product and help as many people as possible. 
There you have it. These are ONLY thirteen of many more reasons for you to have your own product. 

Don’t worry if you can’t create a perfect product…There’s a another quote that explains it best:

“You don’t have to get it right…you just need to get it going.” - Anonymous

I hope you’re excited by all the possibilities that could happen in your life by having your own products to sell…and build a hugely profitable information marketing business with good branding. 

Now, go for it!
 

Wishing You Massive Success,
Osman
