subject: Make Money Online With Affiliate Marketing [print this page] Make money online with affiliate marketing is something which is often talked about these days, especially on the internet. It is a big and competitive industry and will swallow you up if you are not careful. I remember when I first jumped in. It was the deep end and I made no money whatsoever.
So I crawled back to the drawing board to try again and now I have some tips to help you succeed right from the start. I am absolutely convinced that pros and beginners alike can make money online with affiliate marketing.
First things first, what is affiliate marketing? Basically it's a system of advertising by which you (the affiliate) sell a product (of the merchant's) and you make a commission. If the product is $100 and the commission rate is 50% then for every sale you make, you get $50.
Why is it popular? It's popular because you don't need a product to begin. There isn't any lengthy process to write a book - instead you can jump in straight away. It really is that simple to make money online with affiliate marketing.
Why do so many people fail? It is said that 4 out of 5 businesses fail and I would be willing to bet that 4 out of 5 people give up before making money online. They start full of passion and direction, but when they find it's 'too hard', they give up and go back to the boring 9-5 slog.
How can you avoid failing? The first thing is research. When you are trying to make money online with affiliate marketing, guess what you are doing? Marketing...duh! And because you are marketing, you need to know different things about your market. Things like how many people are already promoting it, whether there is actually any money to be made, and whether there are any products for the market.
Where not to begin? Do not begin in the 'make money' niche! This is the single greatest cause of down-trodden beginner affiliate marketers. As you probably already know, there is an abundance of make money products online. Some of them are very helpful, but most contain information which could be had for free and in some cases, information which is actually detrimental in helping you to make money online with affiliate marketing.
So where do you begin? Begin with research. Have a look at keywords and their Google results. Find out if many people are already promoting the same product. Look for reviews on the product. Find out what people are saying about the product. Before you make a website, find out whether it is really worth getting into that industry. If not, then find another one and you will soon make money online with affiliate marketing.
There is no excuse for not taking action
