subject: It Is Easy To Start Affiliate Marketing! [print this page] Have you decided to start your own Internet Business but you are not sure yet where to start?
Affiliate Marketing could be the solution if you don't have your own product to sell.
The best way, though not the only one, is to have your own website (don't worry, it is not as daunting as it may seem) by selling or promoting something from another website and receiving some sort of commission or percentage in return.You will have more options in sending potential buyers to your affiliate programs if you create a website to promote your affiliate programs.
It is recommended opening an account with some sites like ClickBank, Commission Junction, Ebay, Google and Amazon to find companies actively seeking affiliate marketers. ClickBank and Commission Junction are just two of many companies offering listings of websites in need of affiliate marketers. Amazon, Ebay and Google all have their own affiliate sales programs.
The first step then is to create your own website. The first rule is to keep it simple. You don't need to have a lot of graphics and bright colors all around. A simple design can be the best to attract viewers. Having too many things going on throughout a site can be overwhelming to the visitor and push them away.
There are tons of free software available on the web that are very user friendly like Kompozer. Visiting other professional websites of your niche is a good way to get some ideas on how to design your website.
Another option to start Affiliate Marketing that doesn't require having a website is Article Marketing. Basically, you will write an article related to your affiliate products with a link to the website where these products are sold (you will need to create an affiliate account with the products' seller first). Usually, the link is placed in the article's resource box and you can also submit the same article to more article directories.
Using Article Marketing if you have your own website is also a good strategy if you want to get more and continuous targeted traffic; you can write more articles and place the link to your website in all the articles.
That's not all. In fact, posting messages on community forums, related to your niche, with a link to your site in the signature of each message, is another way to create traffic to attract potential buyers.
