12 steps to online marketing

I have been an entrepreneur for many years, but my greatest success has come since learning internet marketing

. In the time I have been working my internet marketing business, I have found the quickest way to make money is through affiliate sales.

The process, although intuitive, can be even easier if you follow five simple keys. From my experience, you can begin this week and see income from this one activity, giving you the ability to afford domain names and outsourcing help. Specifically, you can afford to get help with your email, article marketing, and webinar setup.

The first key to affiliate sales is to look for something to recommend to other people. Find a product that is inexpensive and is a quality item. You want to avoid anything that costs too much; instead, go with something that is reasonably priced for the average person. This way your list of people will trust your recommendations, and you can build on that trust. You will know when you have found a good product when see their sales page, and it is appealing.

The second key is to know what issues your list is looking to be solved. What I am trying to say is to figure out the problems your readers are dealing with and how you can help them. For the answers, I usually go to niche-related sites, forums, or even social networking sites to see if I can find the answer. When I am willing to do this extra bit of research, I end up with more sales because I understand where my readers are coming from.

The third key is to write out a recommendation for the product. When you do, you will want to include the following ideas: what does it do, how will it benefit your reader, how will it measure up to other products, why do you like it, is there anything you do not like about it, and what is your overall opinion? Once you have written your review, you can post it to your blog or website. The most essential element is the affiliate link; be sure you have it in your review so that you can drive traffic there.

The fourth key is to spread the word about your recommendation. Again, your blog or website is important. If you do not have a blog, I recommend WordPress or blogger. You can also send an email to the contacts in your personal or business account. They will be interested to hear about your recommendation.

The last key to affiliate sales is to utilize article marketing). You want to use the keywords in your recommendation that people are actually entering into Google. These will be "buyer" keywords, not just general keywords. Using the "buyer" keywords will boost your post and get your more traffic and eventually more sales.

Without a doubt, affiliate sales can be a quick way to begin earning money. If you work diligently on these steps, you will see cash flow this week.
