Free Affiliate Programs Can Make you Rich
By Joshua Spaulding
The way it works is that a company has products that they need to sell. These companies offer others a certain percentage of each sale that they refer. The person creating the referral does not pay anything to join and does not have to deal with packaging and shipping the item. When it comes down to it both the retailer and the affiliate benefit from these free programs.
So now that you know what a free affiliate program is, you need to know how to implement it in order to start making money. The first thing you need to do is to find the best affiliate program you can find that is selling what you want to promote. This can be done by going to almost any website on your topic and looking for a link that says affiliates or partners. While not every company has an affiliate program, most do. If you do not find one on your first couple tries do not worry, just keep looking until you find one.
There are a few websites that house hundreds of free affiliate programs in which you can apply for and manage through their site. These sites are especially useful if you want to promote several different programs. These affiliate hubs are not required and you can be very successful without them.
How do free affiliate programs work? You just find the program in which you want to promote, sign up and once you are approved you will receive a special link. This link is a very unique URL that tracks when someone purchases a product through it. Once a sale is made the company sends money your way.
The amount of money you will receive per sale depends on the free affiliate program that you signed up for. Most companies offer on average about five to ten percent commission on every sale. Some companies will give you so much money for every referral you send to them whether they buy a product or not. Just take a look into each company’s guidelines before signing up and find the one that best suites your needs.
If you own a website you can just post the link or banner on your website and let your viewers find it. If you do not own a website you can promote your link by telling friends and family or by pay per click advertising. Google adwords is a very popular pay per click program in which you pay them a set price for every click someone makes on your ad. If no one clicks you do not pay. If you can write a good ad you will find that you can make a lot of profit doing this. If you write a bad ad that no one is interested in then you may waste money.
There are many other ways to promote free affiliate programs. You may be able to think of better ways that I have stated above. It does not matter how you do it as long as you get people to buy from your link.

To Join or Not to Join an Affiliate Program
To Join or Not to Join an Affiliate Program
By Steven Gerber
Selling is one of the best ways to earn money. Actual selling can be difficult especially if you need to go to different places, carrying your products, and offering it face to face with your customer. Some are even a bit ashamed to do the actual physical selling themselves, because they don’t want to be turned down.
Selling nowadays is not only done through physical product selling, but also through affiliate programs. Have you heard of that term before? If you're new on the net, it simply means selling a product or service through commission basis. But this involves online selling, unlike the physical selling that most people dread.
If you have your very own website, it is much easier to start an affiliate program. It is an opportunity that you must not ignore because it can give you a considerable sum of money if you just know what it's all about and how it is carried out.
Here are important things that you should know before you join an affiliate program:
1. The different types of affiliate programs; including the pay per sale, pay per click, pay per lead, bounty, and two tier.
Once a customer buys a particular item, you will be paid a commission by 'pay per sale'.
The 'pay per click' type pays you every time a customer visits the site, and it doesn’t matter if the customer made a purchase or not, however, you'll earn more if the customers purchase something. With a PPC type, companies pay at the range of .05 dollars to .15 dollars.
You are paid a one-time fee only for each customer that visits the site; the payment is usually between two dollars to five dollars. If a customer signs up for application, the higher yield you'll get.
If you are able to refer a customer, you will get a finder's fee. If in the future the customer makes any purchases, you will no longer receive any commission, and this is called a bounty.
If you are able to make direct sales, you get a commission; and if your sub-affiliates generate sales, you will also get a commission out of their sales, this is called two tiered.
2. The benefits
The benefits of an affiliate program includes: all you have to do is to bring prospects to visit your site and you will not deal with people such as wholesalers, brokers, customer service, employees, technical support, process orders, warranties, and many more. You don’t need to stay on your computer to keep track of the site, you're free to go for a vacation, rest, etc.; and most especially, you can do it anywhere as long as there is an internet connection.
After weighing all these things, it's time to decide if you'll join an affiliate program or not. Once you decide to join, the company will give you a URL or a link. This links are used to gain access to the company's website.
This will allow the company to monitor your website, and the payment or commission that should be given to you.
Affiliate programs make money, so why not join the force. The internet is just there, waiting for interested people who are willing to venture into different business opportunities. If you're capable, and can become an effective affiliate, act now and join.

How Affiliate Marketing Works And Why You May Want To Consider It
How Affiliate Marketing Works And Why You May Want To Consider It
By Gregg Hall
A relatively new method of generating income in the age of the Internet is called affiliate marketing. It is an option for making money that a great many site owners have adopted, with a great deal of success.
The way these programs work is actually quite simple. They seek to reward webmasters for allowing an outside company to promote their products and other materials on their sites. Consider for a moment the example of Webmaster A, who owns a site that promotes a series of ebooks. Webmaster A gets a certain amount of traffic to his or her site, which generates a certain level of sales. Now consider how the level of sales activity would increase if Webmaster A had 100, 1,000, or even 10,000 sites offering that same ebook for sale. More sites equal more sales! It's a very simple but effective concept.
The site owners who agree to allow another company to use their Web site to promote their products receive a commission from the sale of these items. It costs the host company nothing up front to have their products offered by other Web sites; no money will change hands until the new customer decides to purchase the product from the main Web site.
If your site generates a growing amount of traffic each month, it would be a very good idea to consider offering some related products to your customers as an affiliate of another site. The idea is a relatively simple one, but one that has proven to be quite effective over the last few years.
Both small and large businesses can benefit from affiliate marketing programs. Small businesses can promote their products to customers from around the world. With the number of new Web sites growing on a daily basis, there will always be new places for a company to promote their products. Large companies have the capability of promoting themselves on an even grander scale, generally in the thousands of Web sites.
Webmasters also like the idea of affiliate marketing because it can be quite a lucrative alternative source of income. The name of the game in Internet marketing is to create multiple income streams wherever possible and becoming an affiliate certainly fits the bill. One is not limited to one affiliate program on a Web site; site owners are free to choose several products they would like to promote and with the variety of products and materials that are marketed in this fashion, they will have no trouble finding an affiliate program or programs they would like to participate in.
With affiliate marketing programs paying anywhere up to a 35% commission on a single sale, there is no question that this is a most appealing opportunity for many people. In fact, the potential earnings for those involved in affiliate programs is virtually unlimited!

What You Don't Know About Affiliate Marketing is Costing You a Fortune
What You Don't Know About Affiliate Marketing is Costing You a Fortune
By Jeff Diehl
The majority of affiliates are frustrated in their attempt to make any real money online. You've no doubt heard that the affiliate route is the easiest way to get started... AND it is! But, you haven't been told the whole truth. AND it's not your fault.
Affiliate marketing is relatively painless and involves little or no cost because...
You don't need a product of your own
You don't need to build a complicated website
You have no shipping or inventory costs
You don't handle credit cards or refunds
Then you're told all you have to do is promote your affiliate link and refer people to a merchant site. You are rewarded by getting a percentage of the profits. TRUE...
But, promoting your affiliate link is only the beginning!
What you need to understand is that the critical element for long-term success is to build an opt-in list of prospects. Yes, prospects, they are not customers yet! It is these "potential buyers" that you must form a relationship with over time and who will purchase the products you recommend. They will come to trust your recommendations as you routinely follow up with your personal experience with those products.
Avoid the mistake that 95% of affiliates make... assume people will buy from you.
First, people do not give up their hard earned cash easily or the first time they see a product. Do you buy the first new car you see? Probably not unless you're in desperate need. Online buying is no different.
Second, people rarely make a major purchase from someone they don't know or trust. You are merely one of millions of affiliates trying to convince them that your product will fullfill their needs.
The #1 mistake you can make is to send your prospects directly to a merchant's website. Ponder this: You purchase advertising or spend countless hours generating traffic from your promotional efforts and you send those prospects straight to a merchant's site. You have just lost them forever if they don't buy!
If they do buy, you just got lucky with a commission. But you're still flushing a lot of potential cash down the toilet!
That is precisely why you need to get people to opt-in to YOUR list first. You'll be able to recommend products and follow up with multiple offers days, weeks and even months later. You'll actually enjoy the lifetime value of turning prospects into YOUR customers!
If you do not build your list, you cannot build your business... you're only building someone else's!
The key to affiliate success is to...
Drive traffic to your lead capture page
Convince those prospects to opt-in to your list
Follow up through email campaigns
PREsell your prospects with quality content and personal recommendations
The long term profit potential of your business relies on repeat sales from some of the same satisfied customers. Any successful off-line business already knows this... Wal Mart, Walgreens, Trader Joes. Your online business is no different!

Is Affiliate Marketing Right For You
Is Affiliate Marketing Right For You
By Jennie Crawford
If you have been looking to make some extra money from home or even looking for a way to replace your current income with a work at home job, you should check out affiliate marketing.
Affiliate marketing is when you (the affiliate) make someone else’s products (vendor) and receive a commission every time your efforts result in a sale. You can do affiliate marketing entirely online. You do not need to stock any inventory or do any shipping. Order fulfillment is entirely the vendors responsibility. All you do as an affiliate is direct traffic to the vendors website. It is up to the vendor to convince the potential customer to purchase their product.
There is a lot involved of course in getting people to visit the vendors website. You will need to use advertising to accomplish this. The most common type of advertising is pay per click. This is advertising done on search engines. When you do a search, ads pop up on the right hand side of your screen. The are the adverts you place. If someone then clicks on the ad and purchases the product, you make a commission. Whether a purchase is made or not however, you will pay a price for each and every click on your had. One of the best thing about this type of advertising however is that you control what your costs are. Only have $5 a day? Set you budget at $5. You can also set the maximum you will pay per click. It is a great system, but can get expensive.
There are other types of marketing you can become involved in as well. There is article marketing, safelist advertising, classified ads and advertising in ezines. They will all work for you in various degrees. One thing you need to keep in mind though is that it will take time and effort to get your business up and running and making a profit. It won’t make you a millionaire overnight, but with the proper amount of time and effort, it can add whatever amount of income you want to your life. You will just need to put in the effort to reach whatever goal you set for yourself. If you are a self disciplined person and can work without a boss looking over your shoulder, affiliate marketing may be perfect for you. If you need someone constantly looking over your shoulder to make sure you are completing the tasks you need to do, affiliate marketing is probably not right for you. It takes a desire and willingness to work to learn the techniques in order to be successful. And you not only have to learn them, you also have to APPLY them. Just buying a book on affiliate marketing is not going to help you unless you put into the practices what the book teaches.

The use of the computer was even enhanced with the introduction of the internet. Communications were vastly improved, and different businesses are finding the net a very useful tool in conducting their business.
Affiliate programs are making their way in the internet world. It is a great business opportunity for any individual who desires to earn unlimited income. It doesn’t matter if you have a present job or if you're just staying at home. As long as you have an internet connection, you can be an affiliate.
Is there an exact way to master affiliate programs? There are a lot of sources on the internet which says that they can teach you ways to master affiliate programs. But don’t believe on those deceptions, oftentimes they are too misleading, look for a good source, one that is true and already tested.
Affiliate programs are great because you don’t need an initial investment to start such venture. People with no business capital are easily attracted to this kind of business opportunity. You will be part of a particular company's sales force, and you'll be working on a commission basis.
E-commerce sites run affiliate programs to enable them to increase sales figures. Affiliates usually have their own websites where they place banner/button ads and text ads on email messages that promote the products of the e-commerce site. The affiliates are then paid with a certain percentage of each sale they are able to make.
Affiliate program is a practical business. You can do it part time, or if you're serious about it, you can do it full time. If you exert your efforts on it full time, you're guaranteed to earn more money than the casual affiliate.
Before deciding to become an affiliate, you must first establish your own website. This is where you'll display all promotional information of your 'mother' company. Casual affiliates use email newsletters to get leads for the company but having a site is much more advantageous especially to the serious affiliate.
The next step is to find an effective way to drive a large number of possible subscribers to your site. You might consider purchasing a list of emails or ads to increase traffic in your site. If in the real world, you're always avoiding traffic, well on the net, you'll be looking forward for it. You can also combine traffic and newsletters. But make sure that you follow the company's regulations regarding email marketing.
Hundreds or even thousands of companies offer affiliate programs. There is a need to choose one particular affiliate program that catches your interest. In any venture that you undertake, you must love what you're doing. And if you know the products that the company offers, then it will be easier for you to sell it to other prospects.
The business opportunity that you've been waiting for may lie within these affiliate programs. Don’t be scared of the competition on the net, if you can survive the challenges that you're about to face, then it means that you deserve the money that you're earning. If you're competitive enough, you'll earn a great deal of money.

It's no secret to anyone trying to "crack the code" with Affiliate Marketing that finding hot markets that are just waiting to give you their money in exchange for whatever product you're offering them, right? And it seems like nobody is really willing to part with their secrets of just how to find those hot & hungry markets.
Well, I decided to share a method that I've been using to successfully find those red hot buyers for awhile now. The key to remember is to find the market that wants to buy something first; then you proceed to sell them whatever it is they want. Easy, right?
Not for some folks. Here's one way to go about it.
You need to find out what people are buying, right now, in the largest demand.
Do a search on Overture - http://inventory.overture.com/d/searchinventory/suggestion/ for your "root keyword". Let's say it's baby showers. Overture tells me at this given moment, 91,671 searches were made for this term last month. Not a bad market size at all.

Residual Affiliate Programs
Residual Affiliate Programs
By Kathy Burns-Millyard
As a new affiliate marketer, you may have started coming across the term "residual" or "recurring" in reference to affiliate programs. So what does it mean? Quite simply: You sell something once, yet continue to be paid month after month.
Residual affiliate programs can be quite lucrative for an affiliate to promote. Because you're selling something that requires a monthly fee - such as a membership site, ongoing service, or products that get consumed and must be replaced - you can continue earning affiliate income from sales made months and even years ago.
Now, residual income does not last forever. How long it actually lasts depends on the type of products or services you're promoting.
If you're promoting a membership site for instance, you'll continue to earn income as long as the people you referred to the site remain members. If that site is good, your referrals may continue paying for the site for years to come. On average though, many people cancel membership based sites within 3 months.
If you're promoting something like website hosting accounts though - particularly if you're promoting them to businesses - these are quite likely to continue for many years. Assuming the hosting company you're promoting is good, businesses will sign up and continue paying for an indefinite amount of time. Since they're a business and website hosting is a requirement to run the business, they'll probably keep the hosting as long as they are in business, or until they decide to try another... if they ever decide to.
So website hosting services can be extremely lucrative for an affiliate to promote. You simply spend time, money and effort to get the new customer, then you continue to earn from that customer for months, or years, into the future. This adds up very nicely over time. If you signed up just one new customer per month for instance, and each one continues their membership for an entire year, then you'll be earning from 12 by the end of a year.
Another niche market where residual income can be quite profitable is with health and wellness products. I'm not talking about fitness equipment here... instead I'm talking about products that are consumed. Vitamins for instance, or make up, or wrinkle creams. A customer buys these, and uses them every day. After a period of time they run out of the product and must order more. And this is where it gets profitable for an affiliate. If you sold the product through a residual income affiliate program, you'll earn money again when the customer runs out of their product and orders more.
In some cases, the customer actually signs up for an auto shipment. This means they don't have to remember to order more product when theirs is gone. Instead, they automatically receive a new shipment each month, or every three months. And they're automatically billed to, thus you as the affiliate don't have to worry about whether they've reordered or not. It's all done automatically, so your earnings repeat automatically.

Finding Great Keywords
Finding Great Keywords
By Jennie Crawford
For most affiliate marketers, the use of effective keywords can make or break their campaigns. In order to make profits with affiliate marketing, you need to find and utilize correctly the best keywords for any product you are promoting.
Keywords are what a user types into a search engine when they are looking for products or information on the computer. In order to use keywords effectively, you need to figure out all the possible words that a person could use to look for information on the internet relating to the program that you are promoting. You then can group these keywords into ad groups and target specific areas relating to the product you are promoting.
To find all the possible keywords, you need to do some research. There are some free keyword tools at Overture. You can also think of all possible keywords on your own, then type each one into Google and see what else pops up. Google Adwords also has a keyword suggestion tool that you can utilize as you are setting up your Adwords ads. There are also excellent keyword generating software program s available if you don’t like doing the research yourself.
You have to think to yourself, if I were looking for this product, what would I type into Google? If my husband/wife was looking for the same thing, would he/she use the same words, or would they say something else? How about a teenager, senior citizen? Can the product be called multiple names? Are there many different brands? You can use a Thesaurus to look for other words that mean the same thing that you may not have thought of. The more keywords you come up with the better.
The most popular may not be the best, especially for the beginning marketer. They are most likely the most expensive and have the most competition. When you are first starting out, it is better to use less popular keywords that still generate traffic because this will help keep your costs low. Once you get the hang of finding and utilizing keywords to your advantage, you can expand your budget accordingly.

Affiliate Project X Review: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly
Affiliate Project X Review: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly
By Amir Darwish
Don’t buy Affiliate Project X just yet, unless you don’t mind losing your shirt.
There has been a lot of hype in the past few weeks about Affiliate Project X. Chris McNeeney did a wonderful job of hyping up the product and getting people’s appetite whet with a lot of bold claims. He also includes a lot of killer techniques in his Affiliate Project X guide. However, there is one major flaw that underlies his entire book. He leaves a lot of the details out.
What many people don't realize is that those details that are left out are crucial to have anywhere near the success that Affiliate Project X promises. Very few people have the readiness to pick up a book of advanced techniques and hit the ground running with it. There is a lot of experiences that need to be gained through trial and error. Nothing worthwhile is easy.
I wouldn't recommend buying Affiliate Project X if you're buying it because of the sales page. Affiliate Project X doesn't deliver on the promises in the sales page. If you are already a successful internet marketer, it's very possible that you can tweak your methods with the tips provided in Affiliate Project X to make a leap in your profits. However, if you are a beginner, Project X won't give you nearly what you need to become successful.
What beginners in the field of internet marketing need to consider seriously is private membership sites that provide mentoring. There is a handful of them and more are coming up by the day. A newbie can benefit a great deal from personal coaching and mentoring from those that are already successful. Internet marketing has a very large learning curve and without the proper support structure many people are left lost, frustrated and eventually quit.
However, the internet marketing experience can be much more pleasant with the proper support structure in place, primarily a supporting learning environment where you are constantly given feedback on your efforts and encouraged to remain consistent.

Is This The Ultimate Affiliate Marketing Formula?
Is This The Ultimate Affiliate Marketing Formula?
By Jonathan Moss
Why affiliate marketing ? Affiliate marketing allows you to advertise products created by others on your website. You can then earn up to 75% commission for each sale you make. You can choose from affiliate programs that sell almost anything, but you tend to be able to make the most money through selling electronic products such as e-books, reports, software or videos. This article will provide you with some really valuable, time saving tips to help you make a start in affiliate marketing.
Why participate in affiliate marketing programs? Here are four simple tips.
- Find a program in a niche that you like and are interested in.
- Look for a program that is associated with experts.
- Find a product in a growing market to help ensure greater and future demand for the niche.
- Make sure the program has a good range of useful tools and resources to help you promote the product and grow your business.
When you have decided on your chosen niche and selected the products you want to promote, you must consider why customers would want to buy from your site. So, you must remember the following when designing your website.
- Develop unique web pages to promote each product you are marketing - your site must focus on each product individually and nothing else.
- Always include product reviews and testimonials on your site, and offer free content or reports to your visitors.
- List the benefits of the product and focus on points like how the product can make life easier and more comfortable.
- Write articles for e-zines and e-reports highlighting the uses of the product and include them on your site. Try to write a couple of articles per week (300-600 words). Remember that article sites and ezine sites (such as www.ezinearticles.com) are very popular with search engines.
Clearly you would like all of your visitors to click the order button, but converting them to customers is a challenge. On average only 1 out of 100 visitors are likely to buy. Therefore, if you can generate 1000 hits to your website every day, on average you can make 10 sales. But how do you get people to visit your site ?
I have already mentioned that writing articles is a way to get people to your site for free. Another popular way to generate traffic for your website is by paying for it using pay per click (PPC) advertising on the main search engines such as Google or Yahoo. PPC is one of the most cost effective ways of targeted internet advertising. The idea is that you write really good short adverts which appear on the search result pages, and you only pay when someone clicks on your link. Your ranking in the search engine results is determined by the amount you are willing to pay for each click on your advert. The highest bid will be ranked number 1, followed by all equivalent lower bids.
There are of course many other ways to get traffic to your site, and these can be found either by searching the internet, or by reading the answer to my next question. Where do you go from here?
The answer? You should subscribe to a course which can teach you the basics of affiliate marketing in an easy to follow, step-by-step guide. My personal recommendation is the fantastic free 27 day course by Matthew Glanfield. Matthew has been marketing online for over three years. In the second half of 2005 he generated over $100,000 of sales from just one of his affiliate marketing websites. He now runs a number of really successful websites to help others to be able to start their own Internet business.
This course takes you from planning on day one, to having a fully active website promoting your selected product by the end of the course. It is packed with valuable information and videos to get you on track as soon as possible. By signing up for this course you will also receive a free chapter from The Secret Formula For Successful Affiliate Marketing. This e-book is taken from one of Matthew's courses. You will also receive a copy of a brand new e-book called Copy 101 which will help you write really effective PPC ads.

Affiliate Programs, Which Opportunities Are The Best
Affiliate Programs, Which Opportunities Are The Best
By Chris Peterson
There are currently 1000`s of Affiliate Programs online that you can choose from. Which programs are proven and profitable? There is a simple system, that I use to evaluate the various affiliate opportunities out there, and cut through all the hype.
Before I talk about these points, let me first tell you why affiliate programs are the easiest way to start earning money from home, working on your computer. If your ready to start your own home business and believe that the internet is the way to go, you are right. The internet has revolutionized the way people are making money from home.
With the click of a button, you can literally send your advertisements to millions of people. No cold calling, bulk mailing costs or rejection to worry about. Your marketing efforts can produce results for you instantly on the internet.
Companies that have products or services to sell have caught on and realised that, they can employ millions of online salespeople to mass market their products on a commission basis. These salespeople are known as affiliates. Companies and their affiliates are both reaping the financial rewards of this joint partnership.
Take a good look at Click Bank and you will see exactly what I mean.This is one of the largest affiliate programs online. They are basically the go-between or system that introduces product sales to affiliates. Lets say that you just finished your e-book about google adsense affiliate program and you wanted to setup an affiliate program, so these affiliates will market and sell your e-book for you.
Through Click Bank you set the affiliates commission and details and when Click Bank affiliates are looking through the site for products to market they come across your e-book and think this will be a good product for them to sell. These affiliates than start to market your product and make sales for you and commissions for themselves. It`s a marriage made in heaven!
Unlike on the street when a someone starts up a business they have to find a storefront to rent, hire employees, advertise, besides all the other costs of running a business. Most good affiliate programs require you to pay a very small monthly fee anywhere from free to $50 a month. The difference is that once you join an affiliate program, your business is 100% setup for you to market and make money.
Yes, there is learning required along the way, but is not there with any type of business? I will personally take an affiliate website that can be seen globally over a storefront somewhere. There is just something incredible about turning on your computer and logging in to your email and seeing that you have just made a commission from the program you are affiliated with.
These are some of my most important criteria for selecting an affiliate program to join and market. they do not necessarily work for all, but it has helped me earn money on a constant basis as an affiliate.
First
What products or services will you promote as an affiliate with this program?
If you think that the masses will need this product or service you are off to a good start! On the flip side, is their a niche market for this product or service that can make you stand out in a crowded affiliate arena?
Second
What is the cost to join the affiliate program?
In my years of internet marketing experience, I can tell you this "most affiliate programs that are free to join originally, will cost you money if you want to make higher commissions from your sales". The exception to this is click bank. If the cost is $50 or under monthly than I would go for it, Losing $50 if the program does not turn out to be any good is a bummer, but losing a few thousand dollars really hurts!
Third
Does the affiliate program offer you free training and marketing materials? This is a must, especially for affiliates that are brand new to marketing online. Also, you don`t want to have to go and make your own banners, ads and graphics to promote their products.
Fourth
Is the affiliate program established? How long have they been around and do they have a good track record for paying their affiliates on time? You can search related forums to find out about peoples gripes with various opportunities.

There are currently 1000`s of Affiliate Programs online that you can choose from. Which programs are proven and profitable? There is a simple system, that I use to evaluate the various affiliate opportunities out there, and cut through all the hype.
Before I talk about these points, let me first tell you why affiliate programs are the easiest way to start earning money from home, working on your computer. If your ready to start your own home business and believe that the internet is the way to go, you are right. The internet has revolutionized the way people are making money from home.
With the click of a button, you can literally send your advertisements to millions of people. No cold calling, bulk mailing costs or rejection to worry about. Your marketing efforts can produce results for you instantly on the internet.
Companies that have products or services to sell have caught on and realised that, they can employ millions of online salespeople to mass market their products on a commission basis. These salespeople are known as affiliates. Companies and their affiliates are both reaping the financial rewards of this joint partnership.
Take a good look at Click Bank and you will see exactly what I mean.This is one of the largest affiliate programs online. They are basically the go-between or system that introduces product sales to affiliates. Lets say that you just finished your e-book about google adsense affiliate program and you wanted to setup an affiliate program, so these affiliates will market and sell your e-book for you.
Through Click Bank you set the affiliates commission and details and when Click Bank affiliates are looking through the site for products to market they come across your e-book and think this will be a good product for them to sell. These affiliates than start to market your product and make sales for you and commissions for themselves. It`s a marriage made in heaven!
Unlike on the street when a someone starts up a business they have to find a storefront to rent, hire employees, advertise, besides all the other costs of running a business. Most good affiliate programs require you to pay a very small monthly fee anywhere from free to $50 a month. The difference is that once you join an affiliate program, your business is 100% setup for you to market and make money.
Yes, there is learning required along the way, but is not there with any type of business? I will personally take an affiliate website that can be seen globally over a storefront somewhere. There is just something incredible about turning on your computer and logging in to your email and seeing that you have just made a commission from the program you are affiliated with.
These are some of my most important criteria for selecting an affiliate program to join and market. they do not necessarily work for all, but it has helped me earn money on a constant basis as an affiliate.
First
What products or services will you promote as an affiliate with this program?
If you think that the masses will need this product or service you are off to a good start! On the flip side, is their a niche market for this product or service that can make you stand out in a crowded affiliate arena?
Second
What is the cost to join the affiliate program?
In my years of internet marketing experience, I can tell you this "most affiliate programs that are free to join originally, will cost you money if you want to make higher commissions from your sales". The exception to this is click bank. If the cost is $50 or under monthly than I would go for it, Losing $50 if the program does not turn out to be any good is a bummer, but losing a few thousand dollars really hurts!
Third
Does the affiliate program offer you free training and marketing materials? This is a must, especially for affiliates that are brand new to marketing online. Also, you don`t want to have to go and make your own banners, ads and graphics to promote their products.
Fourth
Is the affiliate program established? How long have they been around and do they have a good track record for paying their affiliates on time? You can search related forums to find out about peoples gripes with various opportunities.
Fifth
Does the affiliate program offer excellent support? If you have a question, do you want to wait three weeks for a reply? Of course not but this is the turn around time for some affiliate programs support departments to answer your questions.
If you can ask yourself, these basic questions with a yes, than you have found a Keeper. Go ahead and join the affiliate program and start your business today!

Don’t Tell me how to make money. Show Me!
Don’t Tell me how to make money. Show Me!
Written By: Tony Smith
Surprising as it is, the vast majority of merchants don't take into account that only about 5% of their affiliates make the money. Another 5 – 10% make some money and the rest, on the average don't make any money at all! So why wouldn't more merchants start showing their affiliates how to make money? Someone has gotten smarter.
It can take a while to figure out what affiliate marketing is all about. You can buy into programs that sound great, that offered you resell rights, but what good are they if you don't know how to start marketing them? Merchants will tell you that you can make lots of money in just days, but if you don't know how what good is it? They tell you that it is easy money and that people will flock to their products, but no one shows you how to do it! They will tell you to market to your opt-in list. How can you sell to a list that you don't have? How do you build a list? I can be very frustrating! You know that it must be possible! After all you are buying these products and you know that with the millions of people on the internet, that other people must be buying them too. So you know that it is possibile to make money selling other people's great products, you just need to find out how.

Top 3 Ways To Boost Your Affiliate Commissions Overnight
Top 3 Ways To Boost Your Affiliate Commissions Overnight
Written By: Stanley Tang
The ideal world of affiliate marketing does not require having your won website, dealing with customers, refunds, product development and maintenance. This is one of the easiest ways of launching into an online business and earning more profits. Assuming you are already into an affiliate program, what would be the next thing you would want to do? Double, or even triple, your commissions, right? How do you do that? Here are some powerful tips on how to boost your affiliate program commissions overnight.
1. Know the best program and products to promote. Obviously, you would want to promote a program that will enable you to achieve the greatest profits in the shortest possible time. There are several factors to consider in selecting such a program. Choose the ones that have a generous commission structure. Have products that fit in with your target audience. And that has a solid track record of paying their affiliate easily and on time. If you cannot seem to increase your investments, dump that program and keep looking for better ones. There are thousands of affiliate programs online which gives you the reason to be picky. You may want to select the best to avoid losing your advertising dollars. Write free reports or short ebooks to distribute from your site. There is a great possibility that you are competing with other affiliates that are promoting the same program. If you start writing short report related to the product you are promoting, you will be able to distinguish yourself from the other affiliates. In the reports, provide some valuable information for free. If possible, add some recommendations about the products. With ebooks, you get credibility. Customers will see that in you and they will be enticed to try out what you are offering.
2. Collect and save the email addresses of those who download your free ebooks. It is a known fact that people do not make a purchase on the first solicitation. You may want to send out your message more than six times to make a sale. This is the simple reason why you should collect the contact information of those who downloaded your reports and ebooks. You can make follow-ups on these contacts to remind them to make a purchase from you. Get the contact information of a prospect before sending them to the vendor's website. Keep in mind that you are providing free advertisement for the product owners. You get paid only when you make a sale. If you send prospects directly to the vendors, chances are they would be lost to you forever. But when you get their names, you can always send other marketing messages to them to be able to earn an ongoing commission instead of a one-time sale only. Publish an online newsletter or Ezine. It is always best to recommend a product to someone you know than to sell to a stranger. This is the purpose behind publishing your own newsletter. This also allows you to develop a relationship based on trust with your subscribers. This strategy is a delicate balance between providing useful information with a sales pitch. If you continue to write informative editorials you will be able to build a sense of reciprocity in your readers that may lead them to support you by buying your products.
3. Ask for higher than normal commission from merchants. If you are already successful with a particular promotion, you should try and approach the merchant and negotiate a percentage commission for your sales. If the merchant is smart, he or she will likely grant your request rather than lose a valuable asset in you. Keep in mind that you are a zero-risk investment to your merchant; so do not be shy about requesting for addition in your commissions. Just try to be reasonable about it. Write strong pay Per Click ads. PPC search engine is the most effective means of advertising online. As an affiliate, you can make a small income just by managing PPC campaigns such as Google AdWords and Overture. Then you should try and monitor them to see which ads are more effective and which ones to dispose of.
Try out these strategies and see the difference it can make to your commission checks in the shortest of time.

You Can Become A Super Affiliate Marketer
You Can Become A Super Affiliate Marketer
Written By: Jason Chew
The more you understand about any subject, the more interesting it becomes. As you read this article you'll find that the subject of Affiliate Marketing is certainly no exception.
See how much you can learn about becoming a super affiliate Marketer when you take a little time to read a well-researched article? Don't miss out on the rest of this great information.
Over the past years, web hosting has grown bigger than it used to be. With more companies getting into this business and finding the many benefits it can give them, the demand for web hosting has never been higher. These seem to be the trend of today.
More than 38 million people have put up their very first websites online last year alone. It is estimated that the internet sales industry will top then dollar bank by 2008. Majority of those sites will be offering different affiliate programs for people to choose and participate into.
This only means one thing. It is easier now to find the right web host for your application. The possibility of quality web hosting companies separating themselves from the rest of the industry is anticipated. If this is done, the unprofessional and incompetent ones will suffer.
Support will be the number one consideration for people when choosing a web host. It will be obvious that traditional advertising will become less and less effective. Most people would rather opt for the web host based on things that they see and hear. Also based on the recommendations by those who have tried them and have proved to be a successful.
This is a great opportunity for web hosting affiliates and resellers alike. There would hundreds of web hosting and programs to choose from that the difficulty in finding the right one for them is not a problem anymore.
How does one become a successful affiliate in the niche markets using web hosting?
If you think about it, everyone who needs a website needs a web hosting company to host it for them. As of now, there is really no leading hosting industry so most people choose hosts based from recommendations. Usually, they get it from the ones that have already availed of a web hosting services.
With the many hosts offering affiliate programs, there is the tendency to find the one which you think will work best for you. Think of the product you will be promoting. Pattern them to the site and see if they are catering to the same things as you are.
When you have been with one host for quite some time and seem not to be making much despite all your effort, leave that one and look for another. There is no use in trying to stick to one when you would be before off in another one. Things will only have to get better from there because you already have been in worst situations.
Try this out. If you are quite happy and satisfied with your web host, try to see if they are offering an affiliate program you can participate on. Instead of you paying them, why not make it the other way around; them paying you. The process can be as easy as putting a small "powered by" or "hosted by" link at the bottom of your page and you are already in an affiliate business.
Why choose paying for your for your web hosting when you do not have to? Try to get paid by letting people know you like your web host.
Always remember that when choosing a web host, choose the one that is known for its fantastic customer support. There are also many hosting affiliate programs.

The more you understand about any subject, the more interesting it becomes. As you read this article you'll find that the subject of Affiliate Marketing is certainly no exception.
See how much you can learn about becoming a super affiliate Marketer when you take a little time to read a well-researched article? Don't miss out on the rest of this great information.
Over the past years, web hosting has grown bigger than it used to be. With more companies getting into this business and finding the many benefits it can give them, the demand for web hosting has never been higher. These seem to be the trend of today.
More than 38 million people have put up their very first websites online last year alone. It is estimated that the internet sales industry will top then dollar bank by 2008. Majority of those sites will be offering different affiliate programs for people to choose and participate into.
This only means one thing. It is easier now to find the right web host for your application. The possibility of quality web hosting companies separating themselves from the rest of the industry is anticipated. If this is done, the unprofessional and incompetent ones will suffer.
Support will be the number one consideration for people when choosing a web host. It will be obvious that traditional advertising will become less and less effective. Most people would rather opt for the web host based on things that they see and hear. Also based on the recommendations by those who have tried them and have proved to be a successful.
This is a great opportunity for web hosting affiliates and resellers alike. There would hundreds of web hosting and programs to choose from that the difficulty in finding the right one for them is not a problem anymore.
How does one become a successful affiliate in the niche markets using web hosting?
If you think about it, everyone who needs a website needs a web hosting company to host it for them. As of now, there is really no leading hosting industry so most people choose hosts based from recommendations. Usually, they get it from the ones that have already availed of a web hosting services.
With the many hosts offering affiliate programs, there is the tendency to find the one which you think will work best for you. Think of the product you will be promoting. Pattern them to the site and see if they are catering to the same things as you are.
When you have been with one host for quite some time and seem not to be making much despite all your effort, leave that one and look for another. There is no use in trying to stick to one when you would be before off in another one. Things will only have to get better from there because you already have been in worst situations.
Try this out. If you are quite happy and satisfied with your web host, try to see if they are offering an affiliate program you can participate on. Instead of you paying them, why not make it the other way around; them paying you. The process can be as easy as putting a small "powered by" or "hosted by" link at the bottom of your page and you are already in an affiliate business.
Why choose paying for your for your web hosting when you do not have to? Try to get paid by letting people know you like your web host.
Always remember that when choosing a web host, choose the one that is known for its fantastic customer support. There are also many hosting affiliate programs. Residual affiliate program is also being hosted. This is the program wherein you get paid a percentage every month for a client that you refer. This can allow you to have a steady source of income. With perseverance, you can even be quite successful in this field.
There are a lot of niche markets out there just waiting for the right affiliate to penetrate to them and make that dollars dream come true. Knowing which one to get into is being confident enough of your potentials and the good results you will be getting.
Web hosting is just one affiliate market you could try out and make some good and continuous income. Just remember that to be successful on your endeavor also means that time, effort and patience is needed.
Nobody has invented the perfect affiliate market yet. But some people do know how to make it big in this kind of market. It is just knowing your kind of market and making the earnings there.

Tips For Frustrated Affiliate Marketers
Tips For Frustrated Affiliate Marketers
Written By: Isaiah Hull
Do you go through affiliate programs like most people go through pairs of socks? Many Internet marketers do. In fact, 97% of all Internet marketers never make a single cent advertising opportunities on the Internet. They jump from one opportunity to the next and never see results. If you want to break free from this cycle of failure--if you want to earn a living off of your Internet ventures--continue reading. I will tell you exactly how you can earn money from any legitimate affiliate program.
In order to get the most information from what I am about to explain to you, you must accept that these methods are not intended to be "secrets." These are scientifically-proven, best-practice methods that all top marketers use. If you want results, you will have to do and continue to do the following five things:
1. Know your product. Do not advertise for a product or affiliate program that you are not currently using. I cannot even count the amount of affiliate programs and product offers I have rejected immediately from people who know very little about what they are actually promoting. If you want to make money selling a product or service, you have to use it, understand it, and be able to convince your prospects that they should own it. If you yourself do not believe in it--because you have not even tried it--then you will have a hard time convincing anyone else it is worthwhile.
2. Know your field. You must continually become more knowledgeable about the market in which you are selling your product or service. For instance, I try to read at least 50 pages on Internet marketing each day to complement the marketing I do. This keeps me learning about my field. The best part about this is that you can do it without spending any money at all. The Internet is loaded with free content sites where you can find free ebooks and special reports on any subject. The Internet is also loaded with affiliate program promoters who are out-selling you. Use google to find these sites and then reverse engineer them--pick apart the source code, page setup, and content layout to find out how you can become more like your competition who is outselling you.
3. Focus your efforts and limit your innovation. As much as "limiting your innovation" may go against your business instincts, it is an absolute must with a limited marketing budget. Figure out what works for you scientifically by measuring your advertising results. When you find something that works, stick with it. If you are getting traffic from reciprocal links, continue to build them. If you are getting constant sign-ups from your newsletter, improve your newsletter and order more leads. Do not stray far from your original plan. Preset the amount of innovative ideas you want to try out each night, but center your marketing efforts around getting better results from methods that have already worked for you.
4. Spend money wisely. The Internet is loaded with scams and bad information. It is really easy to be tricked into blowing money on "get rich quick" schemes and information that you can find in free resources. I personally have spent thousands of dollars needlessly. But do not get me wrong; I am not saying there are no legitimate affiliate promotion services or information products out there: I am saying that the vast majority of them do not work as well as they say they do. So hold onto your cash. When you find a product that multiple people have personally recommended to you, then consider buying it. Otherwise, conserve your cash for purchasing services or products that will produce hard, definite results, such as email leads for your newsletter or phone leads you can contact personally to promote your program.
5. Remember that your success is dependent on your choices and your work alone. If you get upset about not becoming successful with a specific affiliate program, do not blame the program--blame yourself. Do a thorough analysis of what you could be doing better and how you could be making quantitative progress
every single day. There are people who do not pay any money at all for promotional services and yet are still able to make a living just from using free tools on the Internet. If they can do it, there is no reason at all why you cannot. Joining a marketing group or forum in your field will help you realize this reality. Seeing and talking to people who are succeeding in your field will remind you that it is entirely possible to make money online without having a million dollars to begin with.
While there are some "secrets" to getting more sign-ups and site visitors, the bigger part of affiliate program marketing is following a sound business plan. If you keep the five concepts I have listed above central to your marketing campaign, you will not fail. But, if you continue to market sporadically--switching from product to product and method to method--you will never break out of that 97% who never make money.

15 Reasons to Become An Affiliate Marketer
15 Reasons to Become An Affiliate Marketer
Written By: Rosalind Gardner
There are HUGE benefits to promoting affiliate programs with your own home-based Internet business, and I've come up with a list of 15 great reasons to become an affiliate marketer.
Let's look at each reason separately:
1. No Production Costs - The cost to develop and produce a new product is prohibitive for almost anyone who wants to start a home-based business. With affiliate programs, production costs aren't an issue. The product has been developed and proven - all on the merchant's nickel.
2. Low Cost Set-up - Compared with building a brick and mortar store, starting a home-based Internet business is relatively cheap. You probably already have a desk, Internet-connected computer and word-processing software, which is all the equipment you may need.
3. No Fees for Joining or Licenses to Buy - I often compare doing business as an affiliate, with distributing a line of products in the real world. The biggest difference is that the distributor must often pay for a license to distribute products within a limited geographic region. Affiliate programs, on the other hand, are usually free to join, and geographic market reach is limited only by the affiliate's ability to promote his web site.
4. Choose From Thousands of Products and Services - What isn't sold online? That list must be shorter than the one describing all that IS sold online. There are thousands and thousands of affiliate programs selling every product under the sun. That makes it easy to find products related to your current or planned web site.
5. No Sales Experience Needed - When I started my affiliate business, I had absolutely no sales experience. That wasn't a problem, however. The companies I affiliated with provided excellent marketing material. Using their sales copy, I was able to get my first affiliate site up in less
than a day.
6. No Employees - The largest expense of most businesses is employee salaries. Although there might be times when you need or want someone to work for you as an affiliate, it's doubtful you'll ever have to worry about hiring full or part-time employees. When you have a project you want to hire out, it is easy to find specialists in every computer-related field who can work for you from the comfort of THEIR own homes. You pay only for the project, and never have to worry about ongoing employee-related benefits and deductions.
7. No Expensive Merchant Accounts Needed - Setting up a merchant account for any business is a time-consuming and costly business. It's even more tedious for Internet businesses. However, merchant accounts aren't a concern when you're an affiliate. The merchant bears that cost and handles all processing of payments. You never have to lose sleep over potential charge backs, fraud or losing your merchant account when you're an affiliate.
8. No Inventory to Carry - Even if you live in a small one-bedroom apartment, as an affiliate you can sell large items without storage concerns.
9. No Order-Processing - Forget the problems associated with collecting and storing names, addresses, credit card numbers, etc. The merchant does all that!
10. No Product Shipping - The cost and hassle to prepare and ship products to customers worldwide could be staggering. Affiliates never have to worry about packaging supplies or postal rates.
11. No Customer Service Concerns - Do you hate the prospect of dealing with nasty people or customer complaints? Don't worry about it! The merchant handles the snivelers.
12. Make Money While You Sleep - What other business allows you as a sole proprietor to keep your doors open and keep making money even when you take breaks or after you go home for the night?
13. The World at Your Doorstep - The Internet is the world's largest marketplace. You can drive more visitors to your online store in a day, than many small-town merchants sees in his or her brick and mortar business in a year.
14. Minimal Risk - The product you chose isn't making money? Dump it. Take down your links and promote another! It's that easy. There are no long-term contracts binding you to products that don't sell.
15. High Income Potential - If you have a job, your salary or hourly wage is probably pre-determined. Maybe there's not much, other than working overtime, that you can do to increase your income. With your own affiliate business on the Internet your income potential is limited only by your desire, effort and imagination.
There you have them - all the good reasons to start your own online affiliate marketing business. Start today and benefit from this incredibly simple, cost-effective business opportunity known as affiliate marketing. The time is right, and the time is now.

Online Affiliate Scams: Don't Be a Victim of One
Online Affiliate Scams: Don't Be a Victim of One
Written By: Kevin Nobleman
Selling Affiliate Products In Your Online Store. Avoid These Common Online Affiliate Scams. I lost a ton of money promoting useless non-paying affiliate programs until I found these guys. It's time to learn the truth about affiliate products and sales from someone who KNOWS the business!
If you want to sell products as an affiliate, where do you look? There are all kinds of affiliate programs to join on several major affiliate networks. There's likely to be lots of decent sales generating affiliate companies right?
Not true, according to Adam Fisher, the Affiliate Product Sourcing Editor for Net Worth Radio:
When you see all these "Incredible" affiliate companies and programs and products of affiliate networks on the internet, promising phenomenal sales and offering commissions ranging anywhere from 5% to 50% or more, what you're seeing is 99% junk.
There are thousands of scammers, snake oil salesmen and con artists on the Internet who are just lying around waiting to AMBUSH you when you begin looking for REAL affiliate programs to do business with. Believe it or not, there is a whole niche industry built up on the Net around this kind of scamming! The folks who run these scams have all the moral fiber of a box of hair, and the only reason they even recognize the word 'Scruples' is from the TV ad for the party game.
You may have even fallen prey to one of these con artists, selling you on their "exclusive" affiliate programs as if they are the greatest money-makers since the internet bubble burst. Me too. I've joined so many programs that I can't even recollect how many. I don't know why, but I tend to find the "good" in people, and I was "sold" by these marketing schemes time and time again, even after being scammed by the latest one. Finally, after so much disappointment and frustration, I had HAD ENOUGH. I decided to get to the bottom of this appeal we all have with online affiliate companies, and find out if there really were any PROFITABLE ones for selling "hot" affiliate goods at premium prices.
I literally contacted the administrator of every affiliate website I could find. Posing as an investor, I managed to persuade the owners that I was seriously interested in purchasing their entire website and business. That way, once the cartoonish bags of money flashed in their heads, they would grant me free access to their member's areas to examine what I would be "selling". Well, I was appalled with 99% of what I found. Many of the owners actually bragged about how many people joined their useless non-paying affiliate programs. I repeatedly found:
outdated links
non-working links
links leading to other sites that wanted you to sell crap
no help section
no real email support
few if any sales
I quickly realized that these so-called affiliate networks were totally pointless. And the owners knew it, yet they were laughing all the way to the ATM machine! Needless to say, I didn't respond when they asked if I was still interested in purchasing their websites. Surprisingly, while sitting through all of the scam artist's websites, I was able to locate a group of individuals that actually ran profitable and legitimate programs.
The owners were common folk like you and me that found a way to earn extra money working from home on their computers. Their membership areas were impressive, with a great deal of quality information on how to make $100-$200 per day on your computer doing very little work. I even chatted with a few of their affiliates in several online forums, and they confirmed that they were earning extra money using the information, support and products that the affiliate websites had provided them. It was like I found a few diamonds in the rough. But don't take my word for it, you can drop by the over one dozen sites I found. See what you think.
They DO NOT charge a minimal fee for access to their program, which is to be expected for any legitimate program that actually has people on staff who are dedicated to helping you get earning online. What a warm group of people! Anyway, if you do decide you are interested in any of the dozen companies, I advise you to join post-haste, as the owners have informed me that they are getting so many new affiliate members by word of mouth referrals, that they will be blocking off membership completely by month's end. (By the way, you didn't receive this news from me!) They don't have a large enough staff to welcome many more people, and they are driven to providing excellent service to each person. Well, my quest to find legitimate online affiliate programs has come to an end. I have to mention I was profoundly disappointed with most of what I found, and I strongly urge you not to take any chances doing business with any companies other than the twelve I will share with you.
Whatever you do, I hope you and your loves ones have a healthy, prosperous year.
Take care and I wish you all the best.

I have to mention I was profoundly disappointed with most of what I found, and I strongly urge you not to take any chances doing business with any companies other than the twelve I will share with you.
Whatever you do, I hope you and your loves ones have a healthy, prosperous year.
Take care and I wish you all the best.
