I Get Money

If you have pondered the possibility of starting your own online storefront which ships tangible products, but have been deterred by the prospect of having to deal with inventory, then the method devised by super affiliates Steve Clayton and Tim Godfrey may provide just the opportunity you have been waiting for.

Let me say right now that if anyone other than Steve Clayton and Tim Godfrey were attempting to get my attention by proposing to dominate niches using what sounds like eBay-seller type storefronts, I’d not be interested in listening to their proposition.

However, this pair happen to be outstanding internet marketers, as you’ll see in just a moment.

Steve and Tim achieved fame with their 2008 product, known as Commission Blueprint, in which they exposed their enormously successful affiliate marketing methods for selling ClickBank products through pay per click advertising.

In fact, one of their campaigns consistently earned about $100,000 per month in commissions, with an ad spend that cost perhaps a quarter of that. If this sounds astonishing, it should. Especially when you consider they were able to do so selling scores of non-internet marketing related products, like acne solutions, and schemes to run your car on water (apparently people will buy this kind of thing!).

So Steve Clayton and Tim Godfrey understand how to sell stuff. It’s just what they are good at. They have done the work, learned from their experience, and these days they are happy to earn some extra money revealing what it is that they do so well. I am sure that it also does wonders for the ego, but if the end result is a better understanding for me as to how to sell effectively, then that’s all I care about. I am sure this is also true for you.

But who are these guys really?

Well, Steve Clayton has a technical background, having spent two decades in, as he describes it, “Corporate America”. But he left that life in 2003 after deciding that what he wanted to do was create his own lifestyle free from anyone else. Well, he almost achieved his goal, but as luck would have it, he chanced to meet Tim Godfrey and the two struck up a partnership which has worked out very well for the both of them. Tim has invested a lot of time experimenting with all the myriad ways that affiliates can earn money online, including having produced his own affiliate marketing products. He seems to be content being the backend part of this dynamic duo, while Steve appears in the videos and gets his face out in front of everyone.

Their first product for 2009 is called the Niche Blueprint. In contrast to their first joint product, which focused on how to sell digital goods, this time around they are explaining how to be hugely successful at selling physical products.

As examples of this, they say they have made hundreds of thousands of dollars targeting obscure niches such as bird cages, sewing machines, and even train horns. Train horns? You will probably be shocked to discover that people are prepared to pay up to $1000 or more to place powerful train horns on their automobiles. Who knows why! But if there is a market for it, and the returns are good, then it is clearly something that should peak the interest of any serious affiliate marketer.

Now, I have promoted physical goods in the past (and even presently) and I know that the commissions on these are generally very low. For instance, the best commission rate you can get promoting an item through Amazon.com is about 8 percent. Steve and Tim understand this. So instead of just earning their commissions through referred sales, they have devised a method for procuring the goods wholesale, and then drop shipping the items through an inexpensive service. That way, they can set the prices of the merchandise and earn more that the standard affiliate commissions. In effect, they have become vendors.

In theory, it sounds viable, but what about the storefront? How do you go about finding suppliers of the goods that you want to sell through the online store? And what about the drop shipping end of it (which allows you to avoid stocking any inventory)?

Well, Steve and Tim decided to set up their own drop shipping business so that they could eliminate the middle-man. When their clients purchase the Niche Blueprint, which you can learn more about in my Niche Blueprint review, they get a free lifetime subscription to the service.

They also get all of the software required to set up their online store, plus lots of video tutorials and PDF manuals that explain how to do everything. Again, if it was anyone other than this pair of marketers offering the product, I would likely not pay too much attention. But these guys are simply just too successful to ignore.

So if you think you might like to leverage their success, have a closer look at the Niche Blueprint. But I must warn you that Steve and Tim rarely take new clients for this product, so if you see that they have opened up their membership queue, realize that it will only be temporary. I have also decided to make it easier for potential clients to decide to sign up for the Niche Blueprint. I am offering a sizable bonus in the form of companion software that can be used to produce lead-in pages for your store. You can see my offer on my review page for the Niche Blueprint.
