Affiliate Marketing As A Home Business
True or False Question: You MUST have your own product if you want to make money online.
Answer: FALSE.
Thats right. And that’s what affiliate marketing is all about. Making money off your business partner(affiliate)’s product. All you have to do is advertise your affiliate’s product using the resources will be provided by them (banner ads, text links). You can market their products almost anywhere – from your blog, promoting them through your mailing list, as a backend link through your products if you have one.
The downside is, you will need a good mailing list or a heavy traffic site if you want to make money this way. Which you would have to work hard for – money doesn’t fall from the sky. Also, your list should also be somewhat targeted to your affiliate’s products to increase the likelihood of them buying.
“Great! I wanna make some money NOW!”
Slow down cowboy. As I mentioned earlier, you need a list or blog full of readers. There are many affiliate programs you can join. One of them is ClickBank. Just sign up and you can start selling their products immediately. Note: Different products have different commisions so its good to go check it out first.
Another way is to approach other Internet Marketers or Home Business Owners. I’m sure many would be interested in increasing their sales even if they have to pay you 50%, its still a win-win situation as you both still get cash! The best way is to drop them a personal email and get in touch with them. You will be given an affliliate link where any sales made through that link will give you a commision.
