Many creative people have trouble marketing and selling their work. There are several reasons for this, and at least one of them is psychological. Too often, we equate "selling" with someone who is taking advantage of others, rather than seeing them as someone who is helping others. I would like to offer the insight that - at least half of the time - those who market and sell products are performing a valuable service to society.
To help you move beyond a possible psychological block, I want you to redefine the term "marketing" in your mind. Replace whatever definition you currently have with the terms: sharing and discovery. You have a good product to share. And those who can be blessed by your product, or can enjoy it in any way, will be making a discovery once they find it!
And now, I want to share another insight with you:
creative works must be shared in order to complete the energy cycle. Frustrated artists and writers aren't usually frustrated because they aren't creating. They are frustrated because they haven't found a way to share their work in the proper way for the energy cycle to come to completion. The cycle must complete in order to give back to them, so they can be replenished enough to create again!
What creators must receive to go on is the feedback energy of appreciation. This is usually conveyed in the physical form of positive feedback, testimonials, and money. This is essential in order to complete the energy cycle, and to feel completion with one's work.
Unfortunately, most creators don't know how to go about getting their own work into the world, so that it is even possible for them to complete the cycle. It has taken us many years to figure it out, because the existing systems usually shut down most creative people. And if you've tried to get your work "out there" you know I speak the truth.
We believe we have finally come up with a success system that works for creative people! And we will gladly share it with you. The first tip is: get your product on ClickBank, which is the best affiliate network on the internet.
ClickBank has over 100,000 affiliate marketers and they have made their producers (mostly authors) and affiliates over 1 billion dollars! Are you asking yourself, "what type of product is so successful through ClickBank?" We'll tell you: it's ebooks! They also work with any digital product, for example: meditations in mp3 format. But most of the products sold through ClickBank are ebooks.
Most people will gladly promote good products if they receive something in return. This is what affiliate marketing is all about. The affiliate marketers promote your product, and they receive a commission. And it's all done automatically through ClickBank. This is an excellent way for the energies of creating, sharing, and receiving and giving to flow.
