How Do YOU Provide Value?

Whenever I read about people who create MNS sites or affiliate blogs in general I always hear the same three things.

1) Pick something you're passionate about.

2) Pick something you can provide a wealth of information on.

3) Your content should provide value to the reader.

My question is how can you provide value to people online if you don't know anything about what you're promoting and have nothing to offer?

People who say they didn't get involved with internet marketing to make money are full of shit. If you were so into a topic that you just wanted to create a website to share with the world you wouldn't have put affiliate offers on it. We're all in it for the money. Let's be honest.

I would think it's a accurate assumption that most people here on BHW are passionate about Internet Marketing. We can't all be the next Matthew Woodward now can we? Off to clickbank or some other affiliate program to promote a product or a service. You may know some stuff about dieting, martial arts, forex, dating etc. but do you really know enough to create a website about it? Are you passionate enough about your topic to continually create content and provide actual value to your reader?

I'm willing to bet you're not.

So how do you do it? Where does the value come from that converts visitors into buyers?

Just think of yourself as a buyer. What would you like to see about a product? What would make you buy it? What are your needs? Will that product fulfill your needs?
These are the kind of questions you should ask yourself.
