If you a newbie in the information product sales business than like most people it seems easy to do because you can have a long term business by starting with one product. Then as you grow, you just add a product and do just a few more tasks. However as you grow your business you find there are many more tasks then when you ever envisioned.
What this means is over time, you usually discover the obvious tasks and at others times there are many more not so obvious but required tasks. To ensure your success is mandatory now, you have to do it right and you will find yourself working within the following areas.
At some point you become a sales manager and have to care for installation and setup of your sales process for all your products. In the product management area, you encounter tasks like creating product offers, one- time offers, up-sells, down-sells and cross-selling offers.
In the payment management process, you will also have to develop the buying process using code from PayPal or whoever the payment provider is for your business. If your product is more complex, then installment plans, and subscription offers are required.
In the affiliate management area you will have to care for creating affiliate membership process, tasks and related documentation. This can be done with complex html development process or using a more simple Blog or Joomla type system.

In addition you have to care for daily support questions, email management and conversion tracking to name a few more areas. Suffice it to say there is much more so the goal is to know what you are getting into sooner than later.
