Affiliate Marketing starts with a merchant who wishes to sell their
products and/or services on the internet.
This is where you come in!
By becoming an Affiliate, you can promote or sell these products by
directing people to the merchant’s website, via your affiliate link, to
earn a commission for every sale you make.
This commission is usually somewhere between 5 – 75% of the total
sale price, depending on each individual merchant.
Affiliate Marketing is great for beginners because it is a low risk
business, with very little investment required other than time.
Of course, this does not mean you do not have to put in any hard
work. Many people become frustrated after just a few weeks because they
do not start to see immediate results and huge profits rolling in!
But Affiliate Marketing is more of a long-term business, as you put
more and more affiliate links out there on the internet and/or start to
build a mailing list of loyal subscribers, you will start to see profits
rise steadily. It is possible and not that difficult to produce a
full-time income from Affiliate Marketing. Many people have become
incredibly wealthy using this business model alone.
Valuable Tips to Get Started:
Let’s assume you have a good idea, it could be related to something
you already have some knowledge of or are interested in. In fact, this
is usually the best place to start when generating ideas for this type
of business, with something you know and love.
You can now build a website around this idea, if you don’t know how
to build a website don’t panic. You can build a blog quickly and easily
using Blogspot or Wordpress.
So let’s assume your idea relates to your favourite movie star. You
can build a website or blog that has information about this person.
Including pictures, details of their career, news about what they are
doing and where they are etc. Anything that other people may find of
interest.
You can now find products related to your celebrity which you can
promote through your website. This might include a site like Amazon,
where you can promote movies that feature your chosen celebrity. Or it
might be a website that sells autographs or posters of the movie star.
The options are endless, anything that a fan of this person might buy,
you can promote for profit!
Now you are well on your way to making money with Affiliate
Marketing!
The more popular the topic or person you choose to build your website
around, the more likely you will be to make money.
Popular subjects includes: Video games and online gaming, making
money online, celebrities, electrical items and gadgets, adult products,
