There is a way to make money out of providing CD’s and Resource Packages as bonuses with your main product, which you really should try…
As I write I am joint venturing an audio set of CD’s that sells for £297. The package includes a free ‘Toolbox’ Resource CD.
Now that CD lists all of the best tools and sources for Internet Entrepreneurs. A really useful list for people using the internet to do business.
But, look deeper. The helpful page of links to great pieces of software, copywriting resources, reports, resources etc is actually a page of affiliate links.
So each time a customer looks at the CD to find a particular tool he clicks on the link to get more info on a specific tool and it makes a small commission for me on autopilot.
Imagine the potential commission income if that CD goes out with 10 or 15,000 Cash On Demand style front end products!
Actually, it soon mounts up…
I regularly get commission cheques for HUNDREDS OF POUNDS from links I have set up a while ago. And it’s weird … or maybe I’m weird … but I really do get more excited when I get a cheque for $400 in commissions from something I haven’t touched for two years, than I do when I have a £1 Million Pound success from a Cash On Demand product.
Odd eh?
One of my students even offers a set of DVD’s. consisting of two DVD’s, plus two bonus DVD’s making a total of 4 altogether.
But he also has a ‘stealth marketing’ bonus. He offers a FREE three month subscription to a member’s only website.
At the end of the three months, people can cancel but otherwise can continue their subscription for over £100. THAT £100 COMES IN AUTOMATICALLY, unless they cancel.
So from offering a FREE BONUS with a HIGH PERCEIVED VALUE he also gets added income later on a continuity plan for those individuals who don’t wish to cancel the bonus.
