Hi Everyone,

What if I were to show you how to make money using affiliate marketing, and tell you what steps to take, without charging you for the information? Would you listen? What if I summed everything up and gave you direction, so you would be equipped with the knowledge needed to make a legitimate income, even if you don’t have OR want a website? How about in addition, I break down advertising strategies, and tell you how to make the best of internet traffic, so you don’t go OUT of business once you start? Does any of this sound good? Well, I am about to tell you FOR FREE how to get a brand new marketing business off the ground. Even if you are a slow learner and have VERY limited time, I can assure you that this information can allow you to retire from your nine to five lifestyle within your first year of business. All you need to do is learn and apply it.

So let’s start from the beginning. In order to make money online you need three things: The mindset to succeed and not quit. The skills to put knowledge into action. And last, a good product or service to promote, so you are not selling junk and building a bad reputation for yourself.

Well, to have the mindset to succeed, you simply need the passion to do whatever it takes, and it appears that you already have that or you wouldn’t be here right now. So, great.

The skill comes with practice. Once you start DOING it, it starts to make sense. Slowly but surely you can put together a network of affiliate links all across the internet to build yourself a flow of immediate as well as residual income.

Finding a good product or service to promote is actually pretty simple. You have seen hundreds of scams yourself, I’m sure. Use your instincts. Your gut will tell you what and who is legitimate.

So, let’s get started. Let’s say your long term goal is to build a website that rivals the big corporations, but there is too much work involved if you are new to marketing. Many people buy a template, fill in the blanks, and call it good. After spending a few hundred dollars in pay per click ads, they quit because they haven’t made ANY money. I know, some people have to learn the hard way. You can tell if a site was put together too fast, or if the person has no idea what they are doing. Even if you have a couple affiliate links on your site that would make you money, the sales won’t come in because your site looks cheap. Bottom line.

Here is the good news. Technically, you don’t need a website to make money. If you go to Clickbank.com you can register for free as an affiliate. Go through their list of programs and choose an ebook or membership program to promote. Click where it says to create an affiliate link. When it comes up, it should look something like yournickname.thecompanyyoulike.hop.clickbank.net/. Now, you can buy ads and put your link in them to send visitors to the site you are promoting. When someone clicks on this it will send them directly to the company website. When a sale is made on the site, your affiliate link is tracked back to Clickbank and they will send you a check for a percentage of the sale. Clickbank sends out checks to all their affiliates every two weeks. They are the biggest “affiliate network” online and act as a middleman to make all financial transactions safe and secure. So if you do that, you will make money without a website, MAYBE. For one, pay per click can be very dangerous to a beginner (I will explain more) and for two, your commissions will only be $20. You know, give or take a little.

There is another problem too. When doing PPC, people want to click YourName.com, not some long ridiculous link. They don’t want another affiliate to make money. So what do you do. You buy a domain name, redirect the url to your affiliate link, and BAM. You have YourName.com. You can do this using GoDaddy.com and they have video tutorials if you can’t figure it out.

So, assuming you have a product to promote, how should you advertise? As far as pay per click ads, I would stick with the popular search engines, and bid cheap. The best way is to actually have different ads in different search engines. Use very specific ad content too, so you have targeted traffic (and you get charged less.) There is nothing worse than having people click your ads that are not really interested in what you are offering. This will result in loss of funds and very few sales. Don’t get into bidding wars either, where you are fighting for the top spot in a certain search result. Everyone clicks on the number one spot out of curiosity. Most clicks don’t covert into sales. It is actually better to be number 5, 6, or 7, than 1 or 2. Even if you are 6 pages down because your bid is so low, eventually someone will see your ad. The best part about this is, the person who clicked your ad is TRULY interested in what you are offering, and this will most likely result in a sale. You could make $30 off a $.05 ad. If you were to repeat that over and over, you would become wealthy your first year.

Now I have to clarify that I am speaking of PPC above. If you have high organic ranking that you didn’t pay for, then by all means, get as close to the top as you can. But if you are a beginner, you don’t have to worry about having organic ranking any time soon.

Ad costs keep going up.  You won’t even be able to get listed for a $0.05 bid nowadays.  They will make you pay WAY more than that or your ad won’t even show.  What a pain, right?  Yes… but the story isn’t over yet.

If you don’t have the money to do paid advertising, no big deal. I have advertised in every avenue know to man. You know what? This is my favorite. Writing articles that give me free permanent links to my website. It takes a while to build traffic this way, but it is VERY effective once you have put in your time. There is plenty of free information available. Anything you don’t understand, just Google it, and read what comes up.

Submit your articles manually, or at least do due research. Automatic submission may not always work the way they claim it does. You pay for it. It gets blocked as spam. They keep your money, and you get nothing. They are not all like that, but just be careful what you pay for.  I have even used “article submitting software” and it’s not that great.  It doesn’t even work on half of the websites so it’s more of a pain than a help.  Plus, directories hate auto submission.  Just do it manually and everyone is happy. 

I have read ebooks from numerous membership companies that offer affiliate websites. I actually bought the memberships and read the information. I have gained vast knowledge through most of them, though some were junk. I’m sure you know that you can get a free affiliate website with the purchase of an ebook or whatever from many gurus. They give you a “review” site. The kind that say, “I have reviewed 617.5 websites (like that is even possible) and here are the top 3 ways to make $713.18 a day online.  Give me a break.  Just because you quote some “exact” number doesn’t make it REAL.  The people that get these sites for free and promote them have no idea what they are even promoting, they just want a commission from Clickbank for the sale. Plus they never even reviewed 600 sites in the first place. It is a complete lie. 

KNOW WHAT YOU ARE SELLING. 

I have much more to share, but I know your time is limited.  I could build you an ORIGINAL website that is keyword targeted, and search engine optimized.  Plus there are a few more traffic tips and things like that on the website too. 

To Your Success,

I received an answer to a question that I can’t find with step by directions on how to make money with affiliate programs ? I didn’t print them out.

There are two major types of business models that entrepreneurs use to make money blogging. The first and most common way to turn a blog into a profit making machine is to sell advertising to different companies and brands who want to reach that blog’s readers.
The second kind of money making blog is one that helps a single brand improve its image by creating positive associations between the blog and the product in the mind of consumers. Both kinds of blogs can make a lot of money, especially if the creator has a keen mind for marketing.
If you are blogging with the goal of selling advertising, there are two basic ways that you can go about recruiting sponsors who want to put ads on your site; you can let someone else do all of the legwork, or you can do the work yourself and keep all of the revenue. Within the first group, many people make money blogging by selling space through Google’s AdSense program.
The advantages of this program are numerous, as it requires very little effort on the part of the blogger or webmaster to begin raking in profits. However, most people discover that they make less money through this method than they had hoped that their blog would earn.
Selling advertising directly to companies who want to put banner ads or sponsored links on your blog can take quite a bit of time, but it is often fairly lucrative. If you have a lot of contacts in industries that are related to the topic of your blog, you may want to try to go this route. People who have a strong background in sales and are experienced at pitching proposals can make quite a bit of money by renting blog space to interested companies.
The most serious problem with this model is that you often have to build quite a sizable readership before you can attract advertisers, which can mean that you have to do several months of work before you start to make money blogging.
As blogging becomes a more and more lucrative business, a lot of established companies are considering how they can get into the action. One way that companies are capitalizing on the blog movement is by having blogs that provide a kind of friendly face for their corporation. Often, a company will employ an established blogger to create a weblog designed specifically to appeal to that company’s customers and to create positive associations with the brand in consumers’ minds.Setting up AdSense on your Blog is a breeze, and you can complete the whole process in less then an hour.

It is too easy for some people to decide that in order to learn how to make money with adsense, they should cut corners on some of the rules and common sense assumptions if they want to have adsense success. This is more likely to get them in trouble with Google administrators.
There is no doubt the thousands of good webmasters have adsense success because they have found a good way to learn how to make money with adsense. By following their lead, you can add your name to the list of successful entrepreneurs using the Adsense principles. However, there are some things associated with the Google program that you should avoid at all costs. These may be specific to the program, or they may be just common sense prohibitions. Take the time to know and understand these things that can destroy your revenue source before you are well started.
Getting the cart before the horse
Before attempting to place ads or make money with adsense, be certain that you understand the
concepts and the reasoning behind the actions that you will take. Newcomers often get so excited about the prospects of a good work-at-home income that they will leap into the program and then wonder why the revenues are not as substantial as they are reputed to be. It is because the program is not being followed according to the best rules and practices as set out by Google. Obtaining a good tutorial that will walk you step by step through the process of identifying potential revenue sources and place the appropriate ads will mean more profit for you in the long run.
Assumptions
Don’t make the assumption that just because something worked in another program you have tried that it will work equally well in your adsense success conquest. It may work quite well, or it may be a concept that is adaptable for Adsense, but the trick is to know the difference. You need to understand the big picture before setting your expectations and assumptions about the performance of Adsense. Another assumption to avoid is that you will make a certain amount of money if you follow the program. Even if you abide by all the good principles, it doesn’t guarantee that you will be set for life financially.
Skating on thin ice
When you set out to learn how to make money with adsense, make certain that you don’t push the limits that are defined by the Google administrators. You may be tempted to try something thinking that no one will notice, or that it’s only a little bit questionable. In fact, you are risking your continued participation in the Adsense program if you step over the line. Google is willing to work with you and to respond to honest queries about whether a particular practice or item is acceptable under Adsense guidelines.
Blatant violations
To make money with adsense, you must apply for and be accepted as an Adsense publisher by Google administration. This means that you have agreed to abide by the rules and regulations of the Adsense program. Google–and reputable users of Adsense–recognize that maintaining the quality of the program helps advertising and helps with the acceptance of internet advertising as a legitimate and professional medium for marketing. You may be forgiven one trespass, but Google is also under no obligation to allow you to blatantly ignore the policies and procedures.
