Soon after I released my last post about the hottest selling ebook on eBay,  the folks at eBay decided to clamp down the selling of digital products. Oh great! There goes my credibility all shot to hell! Here’s an article I found that may give a little light at the end of the tunnel…

On April 1st 2008 Ebay dropped the hatchet on many of those who are selling digital products on their network. While this news devastated some, this is actually good news for legit sellers. This puts the sellers of the 1 penny e-books down for the count. In the past this was a way to greatly manipulate your feedback as well as boost ACRU fees almost devilishly. With that said, the change will actually bring back respectability to Ebay’s digital products section.

As a seller of digital products myself the news at first was scary. However a warmth overcame me shortly as I realized this was actually a very good thing. It seemed far to often with Ebay, that people were selling useless, rehashed and often unfinished low quality products within. Many times these e-books were marketed for a penny and used to build up one’s email list and add extra increases to their feedback score. Most of these type of e-books offered little to no value to the reader whatsoever. Ebay realized the problem and had been working for a while now to put an end to this. Throughout April they expect to clean up their inventory greatly, by removing such gimmicks.

This opened up two options for anyone selling digital products on their network. The options were either to adapt or leave a rich cash harvesting empire behind. Even though Ebay now offers the classified ad feature where you may still place a digital product, most are not willing to go that route. The classified ad option does not allow one to collect feedback, nor are transaction actually done through Ebay. You must now add your own link or Paypal button to make the sale. The other way to still sell an e-book or digital product on Ebay is to have a physical product created with it and offer the digital product on a CD or DVD instead. That option simply isn’t in many marketers line of sight and may in fact, be to expensive.

Time will tell how the classified ad or CD/DVD options fare on Ebay but one thing is for certain this will help clean up much of the manipulation of sales, email accounts and feedback scores. Just the other day I already noticed a decline in amount of e-books and digital products listed on Ebay. If someone was looking to sell digital products on Ebay now is probably the best time. Right after something changes is usually the best time to get in on what is bound to be a good thing.

Making a great living as an affiliate marketer is becoming more and more possible for the average person - regardless of expertise or education.

What’s more it is possible to entirely automate the process of selling online from following up with your prospects through to product sale, delivery and beyond.

Remember, the affiliate sale and after sales process, including support and product delivery are covered by the merchant or product owner. So, if you are an affiliate marketer you can forget about that aspect of your business. This part is already automated as far as you are concerned.

What’s left then? Well, skipping over how you will get visitors to visit your website, there is the small task of following up with leads and prospects.

It would be virtually impossible to do this manually once your web business starts to grow. It may be doable if you are getting 1 to 2 leads per day BUT what happens when this number grows to 10, 20, 50 or maybe even 100 leads per day?

The reason I setup my online business was because I wanted more freedom in my life. If I’m following up with leads all day long then any freedom I have has disappeared.

This is why it is important to me and I’m sure to you to put as much of our business on auto-pilot as possible.

If you setup an email capture form and followup autoresponder to automate the sales process then you can concentrate all your efforts on marketing your website. Your only job then would be to send visitors to your website with your lead capture form. Once they enter your autoresponder the rest is on automatic pilot - from followup through to sale.The end result of which will be affiliate commission checks in your mailbox or bank account. Using autoresponders to sell your affiliate products is an absolute must as far as I am concerned if you are serious about building a successful affiliate business.

Using such services frees up a lot of your time to get on with marketing and developing your business to new and greater heights.At no other time in history has there been an easier way to create automatic income streams than the opportunities being presented to online entrepreneurs. It is up to you to take advantage of the technology available and apply it to your business.

The costs involved are so low that it would be downright idiotic not to get your own affiliate followup system.
