Affiliate Marketing
Nick Young asked:
For those of us who aspire to an income online, affiliate marketing seems to be a good place to start. There are lots of options for products to sell and the system is relatively easy to get into. It is an option for earning where you can get started for no outlay at all. Article marketing is a good way to promote your chosen product and there is no cost except for the time to write your articles. There is a little time to get your accounts set up and after that you just need to do a little keyword research and write. Sounds good, how do I start.
First we need to find the products to sell. Amazon has an affiliate program and all you have to do is open an account. They are good because they have established their reputation and people respect them making their products relatively easy to sell. Places like Commission Junction have lots of stores you can sell for although with most you have to be accepted as an affiliate and they like to see your professional looking website first. That rules us out at this stage. Then if you want to sell digital products then Clickbank has the largest range and pays some high commissions. The commissions there are up to 75% but for that reason the affiliate competition is big.
If we are going to use article marketing to promote our product then Ezine is the best but you are not allowed to link straight to an affiliate link from your article. You have to link to your own website. That lets us out again. Not necessarily. If you go to Blogger you can start a free blog and use that to build your landing page or the page that your article will link to. Ezine is happy with this as long as you have lots of worthwhile and relevant information on that page. Of course, you will have links on that page to your affiliate product so your readers can click through and buy.
Affiliate marketing is a numbers game and so the more visitors we get the more chance of a sale. If you get 3/4 sales from every hundred targeted visitors you are going OK. So you see you are going to need lots of visitors so write lots of articles. No one said it was going to be easy.
