Once you’ve decided to become an affiliate, you have to determine the kinds of products you want to sell. On the internet, products can be placed into two categories: physical products and digital products. Again, IM-101 recommends that you get started by selling digital products, simply because it’s the fastest and easiest way to learn the business.

If you’re interested in internet marketing, affiliate marketing, information products, work at home opportunities, or other forms of online business, the sheer amount of information available can be truly daunting. It doesn’t help that much of that information is heavily laden with industry jargon and insider buzzwords.

Fortunately, getting started in internet marketing doesn’t have to be so complicated. This three-part article series lays out the three fundamental components of internet marketing and shows you how to bring them together in your own online business.

At its most basic level, an internet marketing business is no different from any other business. You really only need three things to be successful: a product, customers, and a way to market your products to your customers. Of course, these components are a little different on the internet than they are in your community.

This article, Part 1 of 3 in the series, focuses on the first component of your internet marketing business: The Product.

Just about any product and service you can imagine is bought and sold on the internet. The first key to a successful internet marketing business is figuring out exactly what you want to sell.

Producer or Affiliate?
The first question you have to answer is whether you want to create your own product or sell someone else’s. If you’re just getting started in internet marketing, IM-101 recommends that you learn the ropes by selling someone else’s product. This is called “affiliate marketing,” but this is just a fancy name for “selling someone else’s product online.”

Digital products, or information products, are most commonly electronic books, or eBooks. These products are just like the books you buy at your local bookstore, except that they exist only as digital files you can open and read on your computer. By far the most common format for these files is called Portable Document Format (PDF), which can be read by a free downloadable program from Adobe called Acrobat Reader.

In addition to eBooks, you may also decide to sell software, audio files, videos, or any other kind of information that can be created, stored, and distributed in a digital format.

Where to Find Products
Okay, you’ve decided you start your internet marketing business by selling other people’s digital information products. Where do you find them? The single largest repository of these digital information products is ClickBank.

Go to ClickBank and browse through the Marketplace. You’ll find more than 10,000 digital information products to choose from. There are more than 100,000 affiliates registered with ClickBank who are actively selling these products. You’ll be joining their ranks.

The final step is to set up an affiliate account at ClickBank and select a few products to sell. Five products is a good number to start with.

Which products should you choose? You should choose to promote and sell those products that your customers most want to buy, of course. To answer this question, you have to figure out who your customer is.
