You may have seen a product get introduced to the marketplace that somehow didn’t generate the kind of profits initially expected. You see this all the time especially if you look into the clickbank marketplace. So if this is your product, should you just chuck it or can you still turn a profit with it?

In this article I’m going to share some simple ideas you can use to turn your losses into profitable gains.

One of the first things you can do to salvage the time and effort that went into creating and marketing the product is to offer reprint or resale rights.

This is a great way to get more exposure for your primary business and turn what seemed like a losing proposition into a cash generator.

Who would be interested in purchasing the reprint rights to your product?

People who are not interested in creating products themselves and just want a ready made business in a box that they can just plug in and profit from.

Another idea that you can use to generate more traffic to your internet business is to offer the product as a bonus to someone else’s paid product.

This will not only give your business increased exposure, but will also put you in direct contact with proven buyers in the market place.

Make sure to include within your product, links that will give those buying customers an opportunity to subscribe to your list so that you can capitalize on future marketing opportunities.

Here’s something to consider. What about using that product as a lead generator to increase the size of your subscriber list?

If there is one thing people don’t mind getting… it’s a free product.

So create a lead capture page that asks for your visitors details in exchange for the product. This can be an excellent way to give your visitors a preview of the kind of quality your business represents, while building your credibility and relationships with your subscribers simultaneously.

You could also participate in free giveaway list building events and use your product as a way to generate tons of leads fast.

List building should be the primary focus for any online marketer looking to build a sustainable income on the internet. What’s interesting is how long it takes some people to come around and realize that.

My Story

I was not interested in building a list when I first started online. I wanted to remain anonymous, make my money and move on. However, after banging my head against the wall for about 6 months, all of a sudden I had this great awakening and finally realized that I needed to build a list or quit.

Sure I’ve built some mini sites and peppered the internet with a flurry of affiliate activity, but those things don’t kick in for awhile. I came to the conclusion that If I was going to make serious money online, I would have to build a list and brand myself for it to happen.

Now understand, I am not looking to be anybody’s guru. I don’t mind trying to help out if I can, but the guru deal is not for me. Besides the internet is flooded with guru’s and psuedo-guru’s, you can have it.

Like you, I don’t want to go back to a nine to five and deal with that B.S., cause after twenty years in the automotive industry and living through more than  3 layoffs… it don’t work.

So if you want to make a serious go at making a living online, start building your list. There are a ton of things you can do to get one started, but one of the best ways I’ve found to grow a list fast is with giveaway events.

Giveaways give us little guys a chance to joint venture with some of the bigger fish in the pond. It’s as simple as finding something you have giveaway rights to and contributing to the event.

Everybody promotes and everybody wins. It can even set the stage for future JV’s. So if any of what I just said in the post made any sense to you, check out the Free IM Giveaway. It launches in a couple of days and you can contribute and start building your list.
