Make Money with Affiliate Programs

Affiliate programs (also known as associate programs) give you the opportunity to sell products without the hassle of shipping, customer service, and inventory. After joining an affiliate program, you simply promote a special link that you are given and let the merchant handle everything else. This method offers a win-win situation for both the affiliate and the merchant. Affiliate programs have become the most powerful method of marketing available on the internet today.

How do affiliate programs work?

The concept of affiliate programs is quite simple. You place the link of another vendor on your website. When visitors come to your site, they click on the affiliate link. If your referral decides to make a purchase, then you get paid a commission. It is all based on a simple referral system.

Can I really make money with affiliate programs?

Every website can make some money by placing an affiliate link on the site, but in order to make real money several key elements must be in place:

• Your site must have great content that brings visitors back to your website over and over again.
• You must join affiliate programs that have content similar to your website. If the visitor has no interest in what the other websites have to offer, then they will never click on your links.
• You must join top quality affiliate programs that pay.

What if I don't have my own web site?

No problem. There are a number of other ways that you can advertise your partner's web sites:

• Place free online classified ads
• Place banner ads on other websites
• Write e-zine ads that mention the website.
• Submit your affiliate link to search engines.
• Create your own "doorway" page that is optimized for search engines. This page will advertise the site you are affiliated with and include a link to your partner's website.
• Write an effective e-mail ad and send it to opt-in mailing lists.
• Use pay-per-click search engines

How do I get started?

Your first step is to build a Web site that builds targeted traffic and that causes visitors to click through with a warm, open-to-buy attitude to merchant sites that you represent.
