Affiliate Marketing
What are affiliate marketing programs?
Affiliate marketing programs are programs that allow webmasters to sell
products for other companies and receive a commission for their efforts.
Affiliates advertise for the manufacturer or producer of an item. Instead of
charging an advertising fee up front, the affiliate receives a commission on
each item that is sold from his website. If you are a website owner, you
would partner with the manufacturer or producer
of an item. Most of these companies will already
have an affiliate program in place. You simply
apply to the company and they will approve or
disapprove your site as a place to sell their
items. What would make them approve or
disapprove? If you are a manufacturer or a
producer of a product, you will set up your own
affiliate program which will allow you to get
free advertising on your affiliate partners
website to sell your item. There are also
companies that will set up a program for you and
take a percentage of the sale in exchange for
finding your affiliates and running your
affiliate program. How do you set up your own
affiliate marketing program?
Can you really make money with
affiliate marketing programs?
YES! There is tons of money to be made with
affiliate programs. If you have a good website that has lots of traffic, you
can make a very hefty living by selling other peoples products. Many
successful affiliates don't have a product of their own to sell. I don't.
They make their entire living off other companies products. It is so easy to
set the links up and start making money. Unfortunately, most webmasters who
try this, fail miserably at it.
So why do most people fail with affiliate marketing programs?
The secret in successful affiliate marketing is to have a website that is
worth going to. You can't just have page after page of affiliate links. Why
would anyone even come to your site, let alone stay long enough to buy
anything? Content is the 'secret' ingredient. It's not even a well guarded
secret. Go to any website that offers marketing tips and you will hear it
over and over again. You must have content! Read this
story and you will begin to understand why
content is so important.
Let's pretend there are ten stores in your neighborhood all selling
basically the same items for roughly the same price. Nine of these stores
have very little staff. You rarely see anyone until you get to the check out
counter. If you do get lucky enough to find a sales person, when you ask
your question, they hand you five or six products and scream, "buy these",
and run away. At the check out counter you ask the person a question and
they just stare at you with their hand out waiting for you to pay.
The tenth store has a lot of helpful, knowledgeable staff. They are eager
to answer your questions and they seem to know what they are talking about.
They lead you in the direction of the item that is right for you and offer
you suggestions on why this item will help you. They consider your
individual situation and possibly have a couple other items that may work
well for you. The person at the checkout counter makes sure you have what
you need and pleasantly answers any additional questions you may have.
Remember, all these store have basically the same types of items for roughly
the same price. Where are you going to shop? If the tenth store had prices
that were even a little higher than the other stores, would you still pick
them? Probably.
Your website is your store, only you are not competing with nine other
stores, more like 900,000. You have to be better than the rest or forget
even wasting your time. Sound a little harsh? Sorry if I burst your bubble.
This is the hard reality of the internet and why most people don't make it.
You have to have content and it has to be good
content. People want to know you. They want to
hear what you have to say about the situation
and/or the product. They need to feel they can
trust your suggestions. Content gives them your
prospective and allows them to hear your views.
A page full of links shows them that you could
care less about them. All you want is their
money and they aren't going to give you any of
it. My Goal is to help you achieve your goal.
My goal with this website is to help you make money with affiliate
marketing programs. If you follow the information I have laid out here, you
can make a nice living in front of your computer. I don't plan to sell you
any of this information. All my information is free.
NOTE: Some people think if they get something free it isn't as good
as something they would have to pay for. (You can always send me a check
if it will make you feel better.) This may be true a lot of the time. It
isn't true here. I created this website to be exactly what I wished I
could have found years ago. You will find software or e-books here and
there that you can buy if you want them. They are not necessary to set
up a money making website. They will sometimes make you life easier
because they may automate a manual job.
For some people time is more valuable than money so the software or
e-books for sale are for those people. I built all of my websites
without buying any extra software and I will show you how to do it. If
you need to speed thing up and you have available finances, by all means
buy the software. I just don't want you to think you have to because you
don't.

build your own. If you would rather start with a
working site and build from there...
