Thinking About Affiliate Marketing

Are you considering selling other peoples online products

? It is quite easy to get started selling those products online. It is probably one of the easiest ways of making money.

You do not have to create or develop the product yourself. Affiliate marketing is a way of making money by where you sell products that belong to someone else.

With affiliate marketing, you are kind of a middleman between the buyer and the product owner. Your job is to promote the products and eventually deliver potential buyers to the product owner's home page.

Pre-selling is a technique that not everyone uses. Instead of directing the visitor straight to the owner's home page you are better off providing a good user experience to your visitors by directing them to your product review blog or site where you provide a review on the product, and then sending them onto the home page using your affiliate link.

For instance, if you are selling an ebook on gardening, you could create a gardening blog. You could talk about all the different plants, shrubs and flowers, the landscaping side, and the maintaining of a vegetable patch.

Then, every so often in your posts, you will mention how much great advice you got from an ebook you bought which has helped you to plan and maintain your garden. Include a link to the gardening ebook with your affiliate code imbedded into it.

Another way to pre-sell to your visitors is to offer a free report related to the product you are promoting, in exchange for their email address. You can put your affiliate link in the report and add on a few other affiliate links for other products.

Once you have their email address, you can continue to promote other products to them. One way is to offer a series of emails that contain useful advice and have a link to an affiliate product at the end of the email. Another way is to advertisements to your list from time to time, but remember that you can't just keep selling to them even in email marketing. You must continually deliver good informative value to the customer, if you want them to stay on your list.

If you want to get into selling online products, the availability of such products are abound.

You will find many products at the major networks like Linkshare, Shareasale, and Commission Junction for physical products, and clickbank and Paygear for digital products.

Another technique is to go to large online stores like Ebay and Amazon that offer a variety of products to promote and set up an affiliate/partnership account directly with them.

One last technique is to type in your keyword plus the phrase affiliate product, into a search engine. For example, a search of credit cards + Affiliate Program turns up more than 42 million results. Many of these are affiliate programs in the credit cards niche.

There is no better time to start selling products online using the affiliate marketing techniques above than right now.
