Not a native ANG speaker, how to proceed? My own product vs. affiliate. Help please!

[tomaz26]

<div class="bbWrapper">Hi everyone,<br /> <br /> <br /> I am deciding if I should create my own digital product or rather offer someone else product and try to make money with affiliate. The &quot;problem&quot; I have is I come from Slovenia and English is not my native language. I speak pretty good English, but for sure not good enough to offer a product in English. I see some solutions to this problem, but all of them include paying someone for translation or grammar correction all the time. So what do you suggest, how should someone from non English speaking country proceed? Offer product on a local market and limit himself to only a few million of people (2 MIO to be exact..). I do not want to sell only in Slovenia, specially because our on-line market is not as developed as for example UK or US. Also a lot of people here in Slovenia do not want or have a mean to pay on-line. We have a lot of on-line shops selling physical products, but they offer payment after delivery, so this is then sorted. They do not need credit card in this case. Also in this case I would be severely limited with pricing. Our standard is like 30-40 % and not a lot of people have the money to buy like 50-100 USD digital product, no to talk about higher numbers.. <br /> <br /> So all in all I would rather promote some other product from Clickbank or something like that and only create a sales copy and landing pages myself, pay to get them corrected grammatically and try to make money this way. Through paid advertising (FB, Google, other ad networks).. <br /> <br /> thanks for help everyone<br /> <br /> Tomaz</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">I have red the book a few years ago, but do not remember talking about this. Can you help or will I get the same reply, read the book? Yes, I know, you should not be the passenger but the driver, but my question is very specific and not many people here are not native ANG speakers af far as I can see. Specialy not those that made it big. They all come from US or UK.</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">Could you start with Slovenian and then roll out other languages from earnings?</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">Guess I could try, but like I wrote our people are not used to paying online for info product, specially not with credit cards.. And if they do, the price has to be very low, because our average salary for example is 1.000 EUR netto, which is something like 1100 USD.. So hardly anyone would pay a lot for info product. I think US and UK and ANG speaking world is a much much bigger pond, but yeah, a lot of players also.. <img src="/community/imgs/emoticons/em-smile2.png" class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":)" title="Smile :)" data-shortname=":)" /></div>

<div class="bbWrapper">I&#039;m just doing some quick math here, but if you are charging $50 to $100 per sale and let&#039;s assume your net profit is only 30% (which is ridiculously low for a digital product), that means you would need what 50 sales to justify $375 in translation spend to be left with a 20% net profit?<br /> <br /> Translation budget = (50 sales x (($100 per sale + $50 per sale) / 2) x 10%<br /> = 50 sales x $75 per sale x 0.10<br /> = $375 budget<br /> Translation rates are roughly ~$0.25/word so $375 / $0.25 = 1500 words worth of translation<br /> <br /> Well that&#039;s the math. The question is, do you believe in your product enough to invest the $375 to translate it so it&#039;s relevant for your target audience? If not, ask yourself why do you not feel that confidence in what you create.<br /> <br /> If you really want to be an entrepreneur, know that pivots will happen. How we choose the pivots we make is what matters.<br /> <br /> In this case, choosing what is best over what is easiest.<br /> <br /> Hope this helps.</div>
