Looking for a plug and play startup? The ideal business is globally scalable, has products which can be accessed online and can be operated from a laptop. This business already exists and in the form of a ‘plug and play startup’. But how does this work, what is involved and can anyone use it? What training do you need, and do you need to be tech savvy or of a certain age to ‘get it’?
Plug And Play Startup
Firstly this business model is based on a concept known as affiliate marketing. You may have heard of affiliate marketing already. Basically affiliate marketing lets anyone promote goods and services on behalf of the product owners to earn commissions.
It’s a kind of referral marketing on the internet; which is also performance based. By recommending certain products and services online, you can earn a ‘cut’ of the sale price. You don’t need to personally deliver any orders or even speak to a customer if you choose not to. This is one of the characteristics which makes affiliate marketing so versatile. It means you can work from anywhere and deliver customers to products globally.
Plug and Play Business – Digital Products
Digital products are great for a scalable business. With digital products you can promote globally. Anyone with a laptop and internet connection can access digital products. This makes your ‘plug and play startup’ instantly global and very scalable.
The question is what products make a good business model. More on this later. Digital products also allow affiliate marketers to make larger than normal commissions on products. With physical products, such as those you might find on Amazon, you can’t earn the same level of commissions.
This is partly because of the costs involved in manufacture, storage and postage of the product itself. With digital products, the postage and storage costs are ‘virtually’ none – pun intended! This mean that the owner of the products can pay their affiliates a larger commission based on the sales they make. 40% commissions are not untypical for the sale of digital products.
What’s Involved In This Business Model
Up-sells
This plug and play start up is a ‘plug and play’ because it can be set up an automated to deliver products through websites and series of emails. As your customers purchase products they also have the option to by later products sold by the company known as ‘up-sells’. Up-sells are products within a range which allow the affiliate to earn commissions on later sales to existing customers.
Subscriptions
This is a tactic which makes affiliate marketing much more viable because of the business model in place. In addition to this you can also benefit from subscription products. Subscriptions products are much better for affiliate than basic single point-of-sale products. Subscriptions are memberships or software purchases with an ongoing value.
High Ticket Sales
High ticket sales are higher valued products which offer more value to customers. By having a range of products within a product suite, including high ticket items, you can benefit from larger commissions made on high ticket sales.
This makes your business much more lucrative and especially allows you to build and scale up with paid advertising on the internet. In combination with a purely online business, digital products allow you to automated a sales funnel and send targeted traffic through it. This can be done with automated systems to allow you to create a largely ‘hands off’ business, once it is all set up and working.
