Wouldn’t it be great if you could build an autopilot money generator? Well for some people this is now a reality, of sorts. Using the internet, and systems which deliver products on autopilot, this is entirely possible. It is also within the reach of anyone with an internet connection and a laptop. The basic premise is to sell products through an automated platform over the internet. Products are delivered and managed by someone else, so you don’t have any customers to deal with, stock to hold or parcels to send out.
Autopilot Money Generator
Think about the last time you bought something on the internet. The last thing I bought was a hose tap fitting from the auction site e-bay. I also buy fairly regularly from Amazon too. Both these sites offer the opportunity to set up an ‘autopilot money generator’ in the form of affiliate marketing. If you don’t know what affiliate marketing is see my article what is affiliate marketing.
Affiliate marketing is basically a referral system where you get paid for referring internet users to products. What’s great about affiliate marketing is that you don’t have to fulfill any orders or deal with any customers. You simply direct people from a website, landing page or advert to products around the internet. You get paid a commission on sales you make.
Scaling Up
Selling products through links is a massive bonus when it comes to automation. The tools and systems now available to anyone, can enable you to reach a global audience, sell products and scale up. This is done with marketing, a landing page, an email list and affiliate products.
Landing pages
A landing page is a page specifically designed to capture someone’s email address. By offering something of value, you can get an email address from someone when they visit your web page. They are then sent a series of emails delivering content and various products and services. Take a look at my landing page here.
Email List
The highest earning internet marketers all have an email list from which to sell products from. By building a list of subscribers, and delivering value, anyone can promote products and earn a commission. Emails can be automated to deliver products to your list as people subscribe through your landing page. As an affiliate marketer your job is to link people to products.

Affiliate Products
Choosing the right affiliate products is massively important to your success online. High ticket products can give you greater returns for sales. Membership products can give you monthly commissions for each sale. Up-selling further products and services to existing customers also is massively important. Ideally you should choose products which offer all these benefits. Over time and with each sale, you are building more and more income streams. Selling small value items is much harder – you don’t get monthly commissions, back end sales or high ticket commissions.
Autopilot Money Generator
As you can see, there is some work involved in building an autopilot money generator. It isn’t some set it and ‘forget it’ scheme. But much of the work you do will benefit you again and again. Once you have done the work once, you effectively have an ‘autopilot money generator’.
Your main job is in setting up systems which collect emails and sell products. This is all automated. Your job then is to send people to those landing pages. The setup can be done in a fairly short amount of time. You can get started here. What comes next is the marketing.
Marketing Your Landing Page
This is perhaps the most difficult part of making money online. Setting up the systems which deliver value is fairly simple, especially if you join a program which already has this built in. Marketing your landing page is the real ‘nuts and bolts’ and will determine whether or not you are successful online. There are several ways to do this.
Content Creation
You can write articles and blogs like this one, create other content like videos or podcasts, or even hold webinars. These methods fall under the bracket of ‘content creation’. Of course your content needs to provide value and help and inspire others. Creating good content is the key to getting the most out of this method of online marketing. In the best case scenario, your content goes viral and gets shared all around the internet.
Thousands of people visit your landing page and buy your products through your email marketing campaign. The worst case is that no one see your content. It doesn’t get ranked on Google or shared on social media. You don’t get any traffic to your landing page!
I created an ebook “Niche Blogging For Profit” to help with one element of content creation – blogging.
Paid Advertising
Another method to bring people to your landing page and sell products through your email list is paid advertising. Paid advertising has some advantages over content creation, and some obvious disadvantages! It costs money! However, get paid advertising right and you can easily scale up a campaign to reach tens of thousands of people within a very short time period.
Get it wrong, however, and you can pay a hefty price. This is why it is important to start small with paid advertising. Test and measure all elements of your campaigns. Only when your advertising is bringing in a tangible return on investment should you increase the budget and scale up.
The best scenario is you start an advertising campaign and you earn double what you spend. You increase the budget slowly and it continues to double your money. Turn it up more and you have got yourself an autopilot money generator. What is great about paid advertising is that once you have done the hard work of testing and measuring, you can scale up easily and let your advertising run. Once a profitable campaign is running, you can leave it without much attention and move on to another one.
