A Beginner�s Guide to Affiliate Marketing

by: Jason Gazaway

The dawning of the cyberspace era is at hand. The genesis of artificial intelligence is upon this particular moment in history as everyone in the industrialized world goes about utilizing one of the most sophisticated tools mankind has ever created.

Who, in this day and age, does not know about computers? They are machines capable of controlling operations expressible both in numerical and logical terms. The complex components used by these devices are the ones which enable them to carry out functions that even the geniuses of centuries past would not have imagined possible.

The existence of computers has spawned similar technology that is equally great. Who among those who live in the industrialized world does not know about the internet? It is the technology which enables people to publicly access a worldwide system of interconnected computer networks. It is also this technology which provides them diverse types of services responsible for making their lives unbelievably convenient.

These services include online chat which ignores distance and connects one person to another even across oceans and continents. There is also electronic mail which keeps people in touch in about the same manner. Still, the amazing technology called the internet offers other services like interlinked web pages and other documents of the world wide web. These services allow just about everyone to have access over large amounts of information usually not found in libraries and other like sources.

Consequently, the internet has gained an unbelievable amount of fame as a result of everything that it is able to offer society. Everyone is astonished by how it makes life convenient for those who rely on its utilization day in and day out. This fame has extended itself to those who are enterprising enough to be able to turn a dollar to two in one single day. As a result, the internet has become a complex abode for commercialism that spans everything concerning commerce and marketing.

And so it is through the vast and complex regions of the internet that affiliate marketing came to be. Affiliate marketing is an online marketing strategy that involves the promotion of a website. In this scheme, a person who is technically called an affiliate is able to make money online by simply listing other people�s websites on his own.

These websites are owned by people called merchants, the ones who technically operate the affiliate program. The affiliate promotes these merchants and their wares by merely displaying their link in his website, and whenever a customer clicks on a link and a purchase is made, a sale is generated as a result of that promotion. The merchant then pays the affiliate a commission, the amount of which has been decided on even before the transaction occurred.

It is important for the affiliate to remember that the website he uses as medium in the affiliate program which he is part of should only contain links that have something to do with himself or his product. Consistency is important if he wants to have a strong, solid market that he can count on to be able to generate the amount of sales that he wants to make. Then again, to be able to know and understand what would further interest those who visit his website, the affiliate should take extra effort in scrutinizing his market through and through. Studying the tricks of the trade is a must for anyone who wants to know a business step by careful step.

In getting an online business such as this underway, one is also required to have all the proper tools needed for a successful start. These include tracking software, websites, follow-up manager and a lot more. In addition to this is the fact that some online businesses train people for free, the reason why more and more are succumbing to this business and the wondrous opportunities it offers for financial growth. Here affiliates get paid and are able to realize goals and dreams that would have been impossible for them to achieve under normal circumstances.

The simple scheme called affiliate marketing is more than enough for someone to be able to make a lot of money online. This comes as a result of continual marketing efforts that are sure to bear fruit at the right possible time. The A to Z of affiliate marketing is as easy as it looks, but it also takes a lot of diligence and perseverance to be able to succeed in a business such as this.

How To Make Money Online Without A Website
by: Melanie Mendelson

You don't need to have a website to make money on the Internet. Here is a proven strategy to make money online without a website:

Step 1: Find Affiliate Product

Find a product to promote where you make good commission on each sale. Generally, you will get the biggest commissions on digital products. Digital products are defined as something that is downloaded directly to a customer's computer after purchasing, like electronic books or software.

Since there is no extra cost per unit, no inventory and no shipping, the commissions are much greater than on regular "physical" goods. The most common commission on digital products is 50%. The best place to find such products is Clickbank.com.

Sign up as a reseller (also called affiliate) for a product that looks the most appealing to you. After you sign up, you will get a unique affiliate link where you need to send people to purchase the product.

Your affiliate link will have a special code that will tell the product owner that it's you who referred the customer. The affiliate link code will allow your commissions to be tracked correctly and assigned to you.

Step 2: Get Domain Name

Get a domain name to redirect to your affiliate link. A domain name is a .COM name (like yourproduct.com). You can get it for under $9 at GoDaddy.com. GoDaddy.com will allow you to redirect your domain name to your affiliate link at no extra cost.

So when someone types in your .COM domain in their browser, it will go to your affiliate link. The visitor will see the website with the product you promote, and the commissions will be tracked correctly.

The reason why you need a domain name is that it's memorable and it makes you look more trustworthy. Affiliate links tend to be too long and arouse suspicion. For example, most people would rather click on the link bestwidgets.com as opposed to abcwidgets.com?reseller=john

A domain name will make your affiliate link look like it's your own website. So basically, you will have a product to promote and a website to send people to and get commissions - without really having your own website.

Step 3: Drive Traffic

In order to make sales, you need to get visitors to your domain name (which will forward them to the website of the product that you resell). You can pay for advertising and hope that your profit will be greater than advertising cost, or you can use free ways to generate traffic.

The most effective way to get free targeted visitors to your domain name is by writing and submitting articles. You can write short articles on the topic related to the product that you promote. At the end of the article, you include your author bio and your domain name link.

You will then submit your articles to various websites, and allow them to publish your articles as long as your link is included. Your articles will get published in many places on the Internet, and will be advertising your affiliate link at no cost to you whatsoever. People will read your articles, like what you have to say and click on your domain name link ready to buy.

Once you start getting regular sales from your articles, you can go back to step 1 and find another product to promote using this strategy. After a while, you will build up a nice source of Internet income - without even having a website.
