In this article, I want to take a look at how to make money selling big ticket items. Because I am not an expert in this field I have spent some time now researching various programs and products trying to determine what I want to sell.

In the past five years I spent most of my Internet marketing career promoting affiliate products. I have made my money as an affiliate for pay per click programs, pay per lead programs, and various pay per sale programs.

I have also done well selling private label right products, network marketing, and starting an article writing company. So I guess that does leave big ticket items as one thing I should try right!

Here is what I am finding with big ticket items.

It really is possible to make $1000 per sale went up. Many of the big ticket programs use a pass up compensation plan. Let me explain what that means.

When you join a program you have to buy the product you are going to sell. You also have to give away your first one or two sales to your sponsor. That is how they make their money.

So for example if a program cost $1300 to join, and pays a $1000 commission, the person who makes the sale to you earns $1000 on the product sale as well as $1000 on your first product sale and maybe your second one too.

There are many variations of this. Some offer affiliate programs where you can earn income on the sales from people who buy the product from you. This can be in the form of a long-term residual income which is always a good thing.

My opinion on this now is that if you are going to make money selling a big ticket item, you should plan on the majority of your income coming from your personal sales. From that standpoint it really is irrelevant if the person buying the product from you ever makes a sale or not.

So with a pass up program it is to your benefit to help them make a couple sales because you earn money from those. But I personally have found that you can spend a lot of time working with someone who will never ever be successful on the Internet.

That may be a negative thing to say, but the reality of it is this is true. So you want to join a program where you really are paid an excellent commission on your own sales. I have seen programs allow you to earn literally thousands of dollars as you sell some of the various products that these companies offer.

The other thing I want to stress is finding the right product to sell. If you are going to earn a big commissions selling a product you really are going to have to find a product that excites you, and is easy for you to talk about.

Here is an example.

I have come across an excellent big ticket travel program. People who do well in this type of program are people who enjoy travel. They can become a product of the product and in essence sell their own personal experiences, which is always a plus in any type of sales.

A person who does not like to travel would have problems selling this type of a program. I have seen programs that offer Internet marketing training and self-help training. People who are able to take this program and apply it to their own business do well selling it because they become a product of the product.

So, that is my two takeaways from this article.

To make money selling big ticket items online find a product that excites you, and that you can sell from personal experience. Join a program that will pay you an excellent commission for making your own sales.

Plan on relying on your own efforts as your main source of income. If they have an affiliate program that you can earn commissions on all the better, but this should not be your primary criteria for any program you join. If you enjoy direct selling you can make a fortune selling big ticket items.
