You’re about to get your mind blown yet again! I have for you a step-by-step method on how to make money online with no product of your own.
I found this amazing guide over at the warrior forum by a really interesting marketer. His name is Jouvan Johnson, and he profits online by re-branding other people’s digital products.
It’s not about ideas. It’s about making ideas happen.

Jouvan Johnson: I was able to make $23,067.08 in as little as 30 days. I know, sounds almost impossible, right? Truth be told, It wasn’t easy but the process was simple.
You simply need to work smarter. Again, what I did was simple, I just re-launched a digital product and created easy income from it.

11 Steps: Make money online with no product of your own
Keep in mind that I started with absolutely nothing. I had no idea what I was doing at first, no product to sell, no goals set for myself, nor did I have any connections or mentors to help get me started.
Yet, I was able to make money online with no product of my own. This is how I did it:
Step 1: Find Someone Else’s Product
How are you supposed to sell if you don’t have a product? Figuring out the product you want to sell is the first thing you need to take care of.
Digitally downloadable products are very easy products to market, but I decided to focus on software and WordPress plugins.
There is already a large, existing market for digital products. With our tech-saturated world, people constantly have problems when it comes to using software programs.
If you can find a solution for these people, you will have customers lining up and ready to pay for your services.
The question that you should be asking yourself is: where can I find a product to sell? This is where the Internet comes in handy, use it. Personally, I searched for my product on these sites:
You need to strategically find a product that is already decently selling in the market. Look for products that have sold less than 100 copies. This shows that the product has value and people want it, but the brand is lacking.
This is where you step in….
These are the products that make profit. Taking a product and improving it’s brand will definitely get you customers and sales. Make a list of at least 10 products with untapped potential before moving onto the next step.
This is how you make money online with no product, you find other products in need of re-branding.
Step 2: Contact the Creator
This should be easy for you, as there are so many ways to reach a person with the help of the Internet. You can find them on:
- social media sites
- find their contact information along with their product website
- call their business and ask for the creator
You can also simply Google “creator of _______” and that person’s information should come up. Collect all the information you need before moving on.
Step 3: Close the Deal
Here’s an example of how I did it. You can also use this email template:
Hey (Insert Name of the product creator Here),
I came across (the product of the creator) and I really think it’s a great idea. I see a lot of potential with it and believe I can help you make a lot more sales.
I would like to discuss the possibility of a joint venture with you.
You can expect to obtain more customers and profit with no extra work, as I will provide that for you.
I look forward to discussing it with you,
(Your Name Here)
It’s important to get straight to the point, as the creators of these products are busy. Keep your message clear and concise with no extra fluff. Short and sweet will give you better chances to close the deal.
Some of these product creators might contact you. They don’t risk losing anything in doing so, as it only provides them a chance at acquiring new customers.
When product creators start contacting you, simply explain your idea; the special re-launch of their product.
You can pitch your offer of a 50/50 share in profits, which will still be a winning proposition for them. The shares will only be in terms of the profits that arrive from the re-launch. They don’t have any extra work to do because you are there to do that for them, and make the brand better.
For my example, I settled for a simple WordPress membership plugin. After pitching my idea and my offer, I got the approved by the product creator.
Step 4: Re-brand the Product
Because you’re launching a product that is already available on the market, it’s essential to re-brand it. The product will not stand out or improve in sales if you don’t change the brand image.
Come up with a creative name for it. I was able to create my own brand design with Photoshop, but you can consult a professional if you need help doing so. A lot of people use Fiverr for this.
Step 5: Map Out the Sales Funnel
You can maximize your earnings by creating a sales funnel. This increases the likelihood of affiliates picking up your offer and promoting it. Websites like MunchEye.com can help you create a sales funnel by looking at funnel examples for inspiration.
Ask your joint venture partner to share more information about additional products to add to your sales funnel. I asked my partner and he did have other products, but I also used quality PLR products to enhance the funnel even more.
The flow of products connected very smoothly and encouraged sales due to the upsell sequencing.
Step 6: Set Up the Necessary Pages
These are the pages you need:
- Sales Page: You will need sales copy in order to sell your product. It doesn’t need to be self-hosted. I hosted my sales page through a forum, and you could benefit from doing the same to help build traffic when starting your launch.
- Upsell/Downsell Pages: You need a self-hosted site. I used WordPress to build my site on siteground.
- Joint Venture Page: These also need to be self-hosted, just like the upset/downsell page.
- Download page: If your digital product or files are too big than you need this page. If your files are small enough then you can automatically deliver the product using a payment processor.
Set up all your pages to have them ready before moving on to the next step.
Step 7: Create Sales Copy
Looking at other successful products may help provide inspiration for you in creating your own sales copy. Don’t straight up steal other people’s sales copy. Just look around and take pointers from successful sale pages.
Step 8: Set the Launch Date
It’s very important to consider and time your launch date carefully, as timing it right will help create new opportunities. Ideally, you should set it around 3 to 6 weeks in advance.
Step 9: Assemble it Together
Now that your product pages are ready to go, you must assemble them together smoothly for the sake of your customers and your sales. Warrior Plus and JVZOO can allow you to set up a JV deal.
Their payment feature are excellent in helping you and your partner split the profits evenly, as well as handling affiliate commissions.
Step 10: Recruit Affiliates
You have created the perfect conditions and completed all the steps, which makes it the perfect time to start recruiting affiliates. They will help you drive your sales if you’re starting from zero.
I offered my affiliates 100% on the front-end sale in commissions, followed by 50% on all proceeding upsells. It was a deal that benefited both of us.
There were a select few affiliates who I chose to offer 100% of commissions throughout the entire sales funnel. I knew this wasn’t profitable, but I also know it would increase the number of subscribers I had, which would help boost promotion.
You must list your upcoming launch using JV launch boards when recruiting affiliates. Muncheye is a great one to use, JV notify pro is another good one.
Take Note: You can learn a lot from the internet marketers on these launch boards. Learn how they go about promoting their pages, recruiting affiliates, launching their products, and so on. This will help you improve your own launch.
Finding even more affiliates…
Now is the time to find your future affiliates individually. Get ready for rejection, as this will be very frequent and common, but also get ready for your potential affiliates to get on board. Most will say “no”, but some will say “yes”.
When recruiting, it’s all in the numbers and relations. All you can do is ensure that your product is high quality, gives customer satisfaction, and is reasonably priced.
If you want to make money online with no product then I highly recommend networking! It is important to build relationships where you can help others, Many of them will be glad to reciprocate the favor and help you out too.
Not only that, but you can learn so much from other people and their stories. This will help cultivate and fuel inspiration for your success.
Search for others who have launched products similar to yours. Use Muncheye to see how these people reached the top of the leaderboards by modeling their actions.
Keep your affiliates in mind. Take note of those you’ve contacted, those who have replied, and those who have either accepted or rejected your request. You may need to follow up with affiliates who have agreed to promote, as they may be busy with other things.
Step 11: Launch!
Your pages are set up, your affiliates are ready to promote, and your launch date is coming up soon.
Be sure to double-check all aspects of your product and it’s launch to ensure that it can be purchased without a problem. Pretend that you are a customer to see what can be fixed or changed. Double check, and make sure everything runs smoothly.
As a part of the entire process, it is also very important to ensure that all of your customers who purchase the product are added to your email subscribe list. THIS IS CRUCIAL!
Let your affiliates know that the product is launching, before you launch.
Prepare yourself for any issues or complications that may arise during the start of your launch. These problems need to be addressed immediately.
When I first launched my re-branded product, I was posted on my computer, constantly hitting refresh to check my account on PayPal and to reply to customers for a total of 6 hours straight.
Make money online with no product – NO PROBLEM!
Remember that this is how I make money online with no product of my own. This works for me, and this can work for you too. The more you work at it, the better you’ll get.
You may not initially hit thousands of dollars in profit, but with time, practice, and more valuable, applicable, and successful information, you have the potential to hit six figures. Always keep learning and never stop improving. You can get more of my profit generating strategies over at marketingwithjouvan.com.
