How to make money on the Internet – consider becoming an
Affiliate?
(Can't wait, click here to go straight to the Super Affiliate Website.)
If you have been thinking about how you might make money on
the Internet, then you should take a look at becoming an affiliate. For those of you who don’t know or understand what an affiliate
is, then in simple terms it is someone who promotes someone else’s product or
service and if that promotion results in a sale then the affiliate gets paid a
commission. So how does that work in practice, well first you must
register with a company or affiliate network as an affiliate. Some good
affiliate networks to start with are ClickBank and Commission Junction.
ClickBank mainly deals with ebooks and software which can be downloaded as soon
as they have been purchased. Commission Junction on the other hand has a much
wider range of possible affiliate relationships, many with well known large
companies. Once you are registered with one or more of these networks
you will be able to select which products you wish to promote. With ClickBank
you can promote any product that they list. With Commission Junction however,
you have to also apply to each program within Commission Junction that you
select and you may or may not be approved for that program by the company
concerned. Having selected a product or service you then have to
promote it using the web links that the affiliate network will provide to you
for that purpose. An important part in this web link information will be your
Affiliate ID which will be used by the affiliate network and the company whose
product/service you are promoting to identify you as the affiliate sending them
a potential customer. If that person makes a purchase the affiliate network
will be notified and will allocate the appropriate commission to your affiliate
account. At regular intervals the affiliate network will then send you the
commission you have accumulated in your affiliate account. The web link
information mentioned previously that you obtain from the affiliate network can
be used on your own website or blog or possibly in email newsletters or even
directly via web advertising such as AdWords. This gives you a basic overview
as to how affiliate marketing works. Many people are making extra money or
their living as an Internet affiliates in this way. If you think this is something that you would like to know
more about then a good place to start would be to read the
The Super Affiliate Handbook: How I Made $436,797 in One Year Selling Other People's Stuff Online.
This ebook is nearly 240 pages long and has recently been
updated. It is full of useful information and lessons learnt by Rosalind
Gardner, who is actually running successful affiliate web sites. This would be a very good starting point for anyone wanting
to know more about how to get started in affiliate web marketing. It covers the
following basic areas:- - What
is affiliate marketing?
- Finding
your niche.
- Building
you site.
- Adding
content.
- Monetizing
your site.
- Marketing
your site.
- Managing
and growing you affiliate online business.
- And
more
This book is very useful particularly so if you are based in
the US. If you
are based outside the US
then there will be other things you will need to consider such as possibly
exchanging dollars for pounds if you are based in the UK
for example. Currently it would appear that only people resident in the US
can open a US Bank Account, and ClickBank currently will only transfer
commissions to a US Bank Account or send you a dollar check (cheque in the UK).
So this can add delay and expense to the process. Commission Junction on the
other hand allows you to specify the currency for your commission and will
deposit it into a UK bank account if that is what you require. So in this
situation Commission Junction might be a better starting point. If you are interested in knowing more about how to make money as an affiliate then click here to go to the Super Affiliate Handbook website
. Good luck with any business venture you try.
