What are the start up requirements?
The start up requirements to this business model are really simple. In fact, the simpler the better when you are starting out.
The complexity really only comes later if you want to be able to cross-sell and up-sell lots of different products. In the beginning, I wouldn't worry about that too much. Just focus on getting your product out there.
In its most simple form, you just need:
1) A website to sell the products.
2) A system to auto deliver the digital products. There are quite a few different options around. I've tried quite a few out, however I still come back to a member. It's super flexible so it allows you to do lots of powerful things that you may not use now, but in the future probably will.
If you are using Clickbank to sell the products and you get a Clickbank only product delivery system, then you are locked in to a certain extent. If you use a member you can change payment systems easily, as well as have the foundation for a continuity program, like a monthly membership, as well. Plus, it includes integrated affiliate management and autoresponder in the one system.
You can still use a member if you choose to ship a physical product as well.
3) A way to take the money. As I mentioned last week, a PayPal or Clickbank account will do. I like those two because they convert well.
4) A product to sell. Of course, you'll also need a niche and an expert to co-produce the product with.
