Affiliate programs can be an effective
way of earning money on the Internet. It doesn't matter whether you have a product
to sell or not; you can help others sell their products and earn commissions!
One
of the biggest advantages of affiliate marketing is that you don't need to stock
products, ship orders, have a merchant account or anything else like that. Your
only job is to send qualified traffic to affiliate links and cash a check every
month or every two weeks (depending on the network).
To get
started in affiliate marketing, I recommend two networks which each have thousands
of products to market in this fashion. These two networks also disclose which
products do better for all affiliates in general. This is a real key to success
when you first get started. Pick the programs that are doing well for everyone
else and they will be much more likely to do well for you. The two networks I
recommend are:
It
is free to sign up at each of these networks and you do NOT need a Website to
get started. You can buy traffic and send it directly to the affiliate links you
will be provided when you sign up! Of course, I do recommend that you eventually
get your own Website. It will eventually be crucial in your online success. However,
if you don't already have a Website—or you don't know how to create web pages
yet—it is much better to just take action and get started today! Affiliate
marketing is a great way to do that. All you have to do is sign up for a free
affiliate network, choose a product, buy some traffic (visitors sent to your affiliate
link) and viola...within a few hours you could have your first online success.
I got my own start in affiliate marketing. The founders of
MarketingBlaster.com
also started their first Internet business with affiliate marketing. To this day,
I still have some affiliate campaigns going. My total check each month for
affiliate sales alone has been in excess of $4,000. I'm guessing that it could
be 10 times that if I focused all of my efforts into affiliate marketing (I spend
less than an hour a week at it now-a-days).
Although your
first sale may only yield a net profit of $5 or even less, all you have to do
is multiply that. If you purchased 1,000 visitors to get that net profit of $5,
just purchase 10,000 to make your first $50. Or 1,000,000 visitors to make your
first $5,000. It really is that simple! Just reinvest part of your profits back
into advertising and your profits will snowball!
