You’re here because you want to learn about affiliate marketing. It’s because of affiliate marketing I was able to leave my stressful job in 2008. I now enjoy working in the comfort of my own home.
I’ll be honest I LOVE my lifestyle and I LOVE affiliate marketing.
What is affiliate marketing exactly?
Affiliate marketing is essentially promoting someone else’s products and/or services and earning a commission. As an affiliate you basically act as a 3rd party in promoting these items.
What items can be affiliate products?
ANY! In fact, many of the biggest retailers have affiliate programs including but not limited to Wal-Mart, Best Buy, Staples and Bow flex, just to name a few. There are thousands of online merchants with affiliate programs in fact. Plus, new niche markets pop up every single year.
Where do you find these merchants?
You find these online merchants in Free Affiliate Networks. These networks look for people like us who are interested in promoting products we can earn commissions off of.
The amount of commissions you can earn can vary greatly from merchant to merchant. Some merchants pay you anywhere from 10-20%, while others can pay 50% or more.
How do you get paid by these merchants?
The networks collect the money and pay you. They will pay you either directly into your bank account, into a Paypal account or send you a check. You can also do this in nearly every single country.
Here’s the step by step explanation.
In order to get started in making money online this way you need to do the following.
Research – You’ll need to find a niche market that you can get into and earn money in. I set up a series of free training videos at my site for free affiliate marketing training if you’ve never tried this, start there.
Build a website – Relax, it’s easy. It’s not like it was many years ago where you had to actually know how to ode everything. Now everything is done with a WYSIWYG editor, which stands for What You See Is What You Get.
This allows you to build a website using free templates, without having any prior experience. I also give some pointers about building a website based on a topic or a product here.
It’s important to write good content on your website so that it will attract sales and attention from visitors.
Add affiliate products or pay per click programs – Once you start building your website you can start adding affiliate products to our webpages. Anytime someone buys one of these through you, you earn money. Pay per click programs like Google AdSense will actually pay you per click when a visitor clicks your ad.
Drive traffic – Now you’ll want to start sharing your website with the entire Internet. You can do this in many ways including with online article directories, social sites like Facebook and Twitter, in various forums, answer sites, and more.
You will start rising in the search engines, like Google, for your relevant keywords that people search for and ultimately start making sales through your website as visitors start coming in.
