If you want to make a lot of money, find a product that everybody wants and sell it.  The trick here is finding the right product.  Wouldn’t it be great if you could just sell other people’s products that have already been manufactured and proven?

Well, that’s being done every day by more and more people just like you who are making good money by becoming what’s known as an affiliate marketer. Affiliate marketing is defined as an Internet-based marketing practice in which a business pays the affiliate for his efforts in bringing customers to their site.

In other words, they’re using one website to drive traffic to another where the purchase is ultimately made. When this is done, or an item is purchased, the associate gets paid or gets a commission.

 

Affiliate marketing has grown steadily since its inception more than a dozen years ago.  There are several ways to receive compensation.  Most affiliate programs use revenue sharing or cost per sale.  Others use cost per action or cost per click.  It’s your job to send visitors through your affiliate link.

Merchants like affiliate marketing because there’s little expense to them, unless a sale is made.  Affiliate marketing is also called “performance marketing” because you’re rewarded according to your performance.

If you don’t perform, you don’t get paid.  Most affiliate programs and affiliate networks offer free participation when you fill out the required forms and get approval.  They’ll sometimes want to see your website.

Blogging-tips

Develop a website, blog or forum on a topic you know and love — and it becomes much easier.  People search the Internet primarily for information and as they’re accessing that information, many will click through your affiliate link for additional data where the sales pitch is made.  Turn your knowledge into content and content will turn into income.

Create a website that’s professional and attractive that will delight your visitors.  Find a niche market, if possible, and specialize for less competition.  It must also be convenient (easy) for your site visitors to click through to the affiliate website.  Keep them satisfied, with your knowledge and reputation; consider installing Chat on your site, to be available to help them.

 

About Theme-Based Sites

Theme-based websites are best. For example, cooking exotic dishes with tasty recipes.  This would put you in a great position to market to various companies that sell cookbooks, cookware, and foods that go into preparation of the dishes.

If you’re good with designing clothes, you can go that route. Sewing unique fashions is a fantastic idea if that’s your talent – such as for T-shirts.  At your website, you could promote cricut machines (Amazon does carry cricut machines, if You’d like to be an affiliate for them).

The theme-based list is endless.  Be creative and call upon your own talents, know-how,  and experience.

 

Affiliate marketing is rarely a get rich quick scheme, but you can start part time requiring little money.  With proper planning, learning and a little work you could develop a respectable income.

An alternative to marketing other people’s products is to Develop Your Own products – such as using quality PLR  [I suggest rewriting it by at least 50 percent] – and then you could take 2 to 4 High-Quality PLR products and combine them .. and then insert some of your own personality into the ebook or video series.

 

TIP:  It is also a good idea to include links out to helpful resources that are ‘related’ to the topic at hand.

Video-creation

When you create a series of videos to educate, a large part of your personality will come across – it’s a GOOD IDEA to use humor, yet you need to be authentic.  So if you’re naturally a grouse (sullen or grouchy), it may not be a good idea to “fake it”.

Think about it, and find some way to be creative – for example, if you’re moody or cynical, then use sarcastic humor.  You might want to use a vision board .

Develop a script prior to filming yourself.  Being organized is the key.   key-premise
