In their quest on how to make money online, every newcomer in the online marketing niche immediately witnesses the buzz and hype of making money with high ticket items.
Have you been following the latest one?
Ewen Chia sold out his $ 1,400 affiliate coaching program in just a couple of days.
Mind you, it probably is a great product that allows you to make a lot of money online! Ewen is, by far, the best affiliate you can think of, as I've explained many times in my newsletter.
But it's the way that it is offered that bothers me.
"Don't buy Ewen's program until you've read this" and other hype headlines entered my inbox. I was promised the whole product range of the affiliate if I only bought Ewen's program through his link!
That makes me wonder if the promoted product is worth the money, because the bonusses easily exceeds the money value of the promotion.
Even my good friend Willie Crawford, an expert online marketer, was wondering about it and wrote about in an article called "Why Do Internet Marketers Act As If We're Stupid?".
I concur. That's plain stupid. For the record: I didn't buy this.
End of rant!
Now, let's see how to make money online without high ticket items, adsense or even a big list.

How To Make Money Online - The Alternative Way
The most frequently asked question, by far, that I get from newcomers in the online marketing niche isvery often followed by the conditions, that it should not be with Adsense, high ticket products or through a huge list.
That's simply because newbies don't have time and/or money to build an Adsense emporium and they don't have a big list, if any at all, nor do they have products, so they can't sell high ticket items!
So, then what's my answer to how to make money online? Butterfly Marketing?
No, I use my own strategy and I call it "Drizzle Marketing"!
We don't like drizzles, do we? I gonna make you like them! Read on.
In June, while attending the JV Alert Live event, I saw Joel Comm drop a handfull of coins into a bowl. He dropped them one after the other, thus creating a tick or two every second. That was to visualize how you can make money online using Adsense.
To be completely honest, I had seen that before. John Reese did that during his famous 'Traffic' seminar and that was recorded on one of his Traffic DVD's.
But when I saw Joel do that for Adsense, I thought why not do that with products?
You see, many experts teach you that selling high ticket items costs as much effort as selling low priced products.
While that may be true in terms of 'effort', there's also something like the 'price-threshold'. The conversion rates of high ticket items is much lower than for low priced ones.
So in order to make a certain amount, you have to have a bigger list or audience (which we don't have, remember?), while low priced products only need more sales!
And that's exactly what the low price will do! Automatically!
So the idea is to offer great products, possibly with resell rights so the buyer will profit from that too, for a low price. With each offer, you drop your coins in your bowl. If you repeat that process frequently, you create a drizzle!
The 'price-threshold' is low and you will generate quite a number of sales. Added up, it could mean the same amount of money as for selling high ticket items with low conversion rates.
I've implemented that idea on one of my websites. You can find it here:
Great Products To Make Money Online.
Of course you will need products with value that are not wide spreaded around the Net. So you have to carefully select them.
And, if possible, they not only have to deliver value for money, but make the buyer some money too! If you have such a product, then you have a great answer to the question 'how to make money online'.
This drizzle strategy works like charm. I've tested it and the results increase every day.
And I'm not the only one. Coincidently my friend Frank Sousa writes about it in his latest newsletter too! He calls it 'the money is in the drop'.
And Willie Crawford wrote in a forum post last week (partially quoted):
I use to have a real problem with people underpricing products.
I guess this was fueled by the fact that several times I had
gone out and spent as much as $997 for reprint rights to a product
only to see it being sold dirt cheap a few days later by someone
who had also purchased a license.
...
In the past two weeks, I have been offered resale rights to a number
of inexpensive items where I bought the rights and then actively
marketed the items. One of those items sells for only $4.95 (I broke
it out of a larger package). I've been very surprised to earn nearly
$5000 profit in the past two weeks selling these inexpensive items
(through ezine ads, sig files, solo mailings, and article marketing).
See? The strategy seems to work!
Now, here's the real kicker. This strategy, when implemented, does not only make you money online, but, maybe more important, it builds you a list of ...
customers!
And that's probably the most amazing thing about drizzle marketing. You don't just build a list, you're gathering info from people who actually bought from you. That's what makes this strategy so interesting, because they are the best prospects for your next product.
Get on now, try it yourself.
Wishing you success,
