So I decided to help you on your way to earning money online and working from home. The journey isnt easy, but when you get their its worth it.
1. Alright so you want to get into affiliate marketing right? Well it takes some common knowledge of search engine optimization, and owning your own website. Many people will tell you you can just wing it and just host a blog off blogger but you really do need a website. Some people honestly make it just by using a blog, but dont count on it to much.
2. I cannot sum up everything you need to know about search engine optimization in one article so you need to read more about it. Basically, the goal of SEO is to increase your search engine ranking position (SERP) and get you to the top. Then your website gets more traffic..and you sell more! This is always the point of everything you do, to promote a good or service and make commission off of it.
3. So the first thing you need to do is join an affiliate network. Join Underground Elephant, they will help you succeed.
4. After you join an affiliate network you're ready to promote your affiliate link. Buy a domain name that you think will help with your efforts that is keyword friendly. What keywords do you want to rank for? Do these keywords sum up what your promoting?
5. What it comes down to is selling the product. After you finish buying your domain, you need to do on page search engine optimization. Read up on this, it is very important.
6. Off page optimization consists of getting backlinks. Submit to article directories, url directories, blog directories, rss feed submissions, ping submissions, forum posting, blog commenting, social bookmarking, and more.
7. This may all sound confusing but in the end you need to think about one thing. How do you get the word out about what you are promoting? After you can answer this everything will make sense. Tweeting, facebook-ing, using linked in, blogging, digg-ing, mixx-ing, using stumble upon, delicious, etc will all become second nature to you on your journey to success.
