There are obviously many ways to make money online, some
simple, some quite complicated...
If you're relatively new to Internet marketing, this
5-part course is particularly suited for you. It details
one of the most simple, yet most effective formulas for
making money online that you'll find. Trust me, if this
course can work for my dad, a retired naval officer who
knows next to nothing about online marketing, it can
work for you if you simply put it to use.
...So with that, let's get started! Affiliate programs,
most of which are free to join, can be an excellent way
to make money online. But they, like anything else,
require use of the proper tools and resources if you're
to expect any kind of significant success.
That's the thing. Way too many people hope or even
expect to make money online without any type of
investment. I can tell you right now, if that is what
you're expecting, you might as well call it quits before
you even get started. I am only being honest!
What you should expect is a modest investment of your
time and (ideally) money. Though you can succeed without
investing a dime, it will likely take you significantly
longer than if you're willing to set aside a small
budget specifically for online advertising.
Now, the first step in our 5 part formula is to find one
or several good affiliate programs to join. As an
affiliate, your job is simply to send visitors to the
website hosting the affiliate programs. For each visitor
you send who then decides to order, you are paid a
commission.
Affiliate programs are attractive for beginners in
particular because you don't have to worry about
processing payments, delivering products, & etc. And
again, most affiliate programs cost absolutely nothing
to participate in. Indeed, these are advantages for most
any person looking to make money online, beginner or
otherwise.
However... In order to make significant amounts of money
through affiliate programs, you'll still need the proper
tools and resources. We'll cover those later.
Right now it's time to choose your first affiliate
program! You can find various affiliate program
directories by doing a search for 'affiliate program
directory', 'associate program directory', etc., at
Google.com.
Here is a good directory to start with:
http://www.associateprograms.com
Now, when choosing affiliate programs, here are 10 keys
to look for:
1. Ideally, choose an affiliate program that promotes
products or services you enjoy!
2. Choose a program that offers high commissions,
preferably 30% or higher.
3. Look for programs that offer residual, weekly or
monthly income.
4. Look for a program that offers a product you would
purchase yourself. Chances are, if you're interested in
the product,many others are as well.
5. Look for a program with a good sales conversion rate.
You can email the program operator and ask for
statistics and proof of sales conversion rates.
6. Choose an affiliate program that provides a good set
of promotional tools and resources that you can use to
promote the program.
7. Look for a program that caters to a growing market or
target audience.
8. Watch out for pyramid schemes. Participate only in
programs that offer real, viable products.
9. Look for a program that targets a wide audience - not
a small niche that could be saturated quickly.
10. Look for a programs that pay. Luckily, it's a small
percentage, but there are dishonest program operators
out there. If necessary, ask the program operator for
the contact info of a few other affiliates.
One affiliate program that meets all of the above
criteria, besides points 1 and 4 which you'll have to
determine for yourself, is the program you'll find here:
