How to make the right choices in Affiliate Marketing

One of the easiest and cheapest ways to earn money online is doing Affiliate Marketing. This is the selling and promoting of other people's products and/or services.

Thousands of companies offer the possibility of entering their Affiliate Program.

But is it ok to just accept the first offers that come along?

Or should we be more careful in our choice?

When you enter in to the Affiliate Marketing business, there are a few things you should take in to account before choosing the Affiliate programs you will work with.

First of all, you should choose a product or service that really sells online. A little research on one of the search engines can be very helpful. It is for example very unlikely that people will buy a car online! The number of people that buy (real) jewellery or clothes online is also rather limited!

Statistics exist and it shouldn't take you too much time to find a few interesting products.

Next, you should check-out how much commission you are offered. In my personal opinion, you should never enter an Affiliate Program that offers you less then 25%. You would simply need too many sales (and visitors and time) before earning some decent money. There are plenty of companies that offer you much more then 25%. There are even companies that offer more then 100% commission (subscriptions) !

Think before you act !!!

You should also consider the factor of Residual Income.

This is the money you will receive month after month, long after the original sale has been made, and for which you don't have to do anything ! People who subscribe to an ongoing service (hosting, internet connexion,...) will pay a monthly fee. Many companies will pay a part of that fee to whoever brought in the sales, on top of the commission they received !

The ideal Affiliate Program will offer you both : a commission of minimum 25% and Residual Income.

Sometimes, you must be able to look beyond the primary information.

Some companies will offer you only Residual Income, but will give you beautiful bonuses for every xxx- customers you bring in !

GDI is a good example of this (more information on my web site).

The Bottom-line of all this ?

Do not join just any Affiliate Program.

The success of your business and the amount of money you earn depend upon these choices !
