If you’re a ClickBank affiliate, you’re aware of gravity. Indeed, you may choose to promote products based solely on this particular indicator. If lots of affiliates are promoting the product, it must be great, right?

The short answer is: Maybe.

Perhaps the product is attracting lots of affiliates because it’s a great product, and it’s selling like the proverbial hot cakes.

On the other hand, the product may simply have had a huge launch. Launches attract affiliates. As the product’s gravity surges, more affiliates jump on: this is the reason why product creators aim to make their launch as big as possible: success breeds success.

What hidden gems are you missing out on when you focus on gravity?

Here’s a secret about ClickBank gravity: low gravity means little competition. As long as a low-gravity product meets a need, and it has a good sales page, then chances are you can do very well with it.

I like to test lots of new products — products which are so new, that they have no gravity at all. Some of these products are duds, but the occasional one is a little goldmine. With no competition, you can sell these products day after day, making a juicy little income on just four or five of these treasures.

Here’s what I do. I visit the ClickBank Research page on Wealthy Affiliate regularly, at least once or twice every week, and I check out the new products. If I find a product in a niche in which I’m interested, which has a good sales page, I buy the product (this is essential), and if I like it, I start promoting it.

Here’s what’s wrong with this method: I need to shift a lot of dirt before I find a diamond.

On the bright side, if I’ve found a diamond, I’ve found a product which will make money for me for months (if I’m lucky for years) to come.

How much money can you make from Internet marketing?

On a forum recently, a member asked whether it’s possible to make close to a quarter of a million dollars a year from Internet marketing.

I’m a big fan of the Think & Grow Rich books. They’ve stood the test of time, and are based on the principles that have allowed people to accumulate wealth through the ages. I reread Think & Grow Rich regularly, which is where my emphasis on desire and determination comes from in the response I gave.

Here’s some of my response to that forum member:

It’s possible if you want it enough.

You need:

* Desire
* Determination
* Focus

Others have done it; anyone on this forum can do it.

$20K a month is not brain surgery, nor is it putting a man on the moon.

If you believe it’s not possible for YOU, find out why.

Take a pen and paper, and set a timer for 10 minutes. Write: “I cannot, and never will be able to make $20,000 a month from Internet marketing, because__________”

Keep writing, until the timer goes off. The key here is just to keep writing — once you know what your disabling beliefs are, that may be all that’s necessary. Once they’re on paper, you can challenge them — you can’t challenge them if they’re unconscious.

This may be all you need to do to discover that yes, YOU can set a goal of $20K a month… and achieve it.

Re the pen and paper: you can type of course, but turn off your computer monitor. Keep your fingers clicking the keyboard. Your aim is to get past your censor and discover those beliefs which are standing in your way.

This technique works. I use it, and I’ve shown it to others and it’s worked for them too. try it.

Come back in six months and let us know that you’ve had a $20K month…

I commend this simple exercise to you.

The key to the exercise is discovering your unconscious beliefs. By the way, if you have other challenges in your life, such as health, or relationship challenges, try this exercise on them, too. Our beliefs can cripple us.

Once you’ve done the exercise, you may well find that $20 a month is doable for you — if you believe you can, you can.

Are you happy with the results you’re getting from Internet marketing? If you’re not, go back to basics, with the “4Ps” of marketing. You’ll be glad you did.

In a nutshell, the 4Ps are: product, price, promotion and place.

1. Product, Price, Promotion and Place

Every marketing course teaches the 4Ps; these four keys are fundamental. They give you a way to think about your marketing. When you have these basics in place, your efforts have a much greater chance for success.

If you’re doing affiliate marketing for example, think about the product you want to promote in terms of the 4Ps before you decide to promote it. If the product is too expensive, or isn’t being promoted, then it may not make money for you.

Selling your own information or other product? Make sure you get the product right — it has to be appropriate for its audience. Think about the price, and test various price points.

2. Position the Product for Its Price

Positioning is vital. Think about the product. Who would use it? When you know who the end-users are, you can promote the product effectively.

For example, let’s say you’re thinking of promoting a digital camera which sells for $5000. The market for this digital camera will be both amateur photographers and professionals. The amateur photographers who pay this amount of money for a camera are real enthusiasts.

They probably belong to a camera club, and enter their photos in competitions. This gives you a clue about positioning. In your promotions, position it as the “ultimate” enthusiasts’ choice. If possible, talk to people who use the camera, and know its foibles.

Check out camera clubs and competitions online, and promote the product on those sites. Don’t forget off-line promotions too, many clubs have newsletters so it’s a good idea to buy some ads in these publications.

3. Promotion Not Working? Improve the Product, or Promote Something Else

Sometimes no matter what you do you just can’t sell a particular product. This happens. Remember the 4Ps: go over them again. You’re sure to find that you made a minor error in one of them. Correct the error, and try again.
