If you have a product, there is probably a platform through
which you can sell it. If you don’t have a product, there are
many products that other people have that you can sell for a
commission (known as affiliate marketing). Either way, don’t
discount your assets as a viable means to make a sale.2.1 Affiliate MarketingWhile the concept of selling a product that is not yours might
seem strange at first it is actually quite common. Many
companies will allow this because it allows them to reach an
audience that they otherwise would not.
It is like hiring a bunch of sales representatives on
commission. Here are some affiliate marketing programs that
combine lots of different affiliate offers.
