Affiliate Marketing A Great Way TO Start Your Home Based Business

December 11, 2008 Affiliate Marketing No Comments
Are you looking for an home based business but lack money or experience to begin your own business? Are you leery of the hordes of work from home business scams? Then you need to read the rest of this article so I can put your fears at ease. There are many online opportunities out there for first timers. One of the very best is affiliate marketing.
Affiliate marketing is a great program for first time online marketers or people on a limited budget. Becoming an Affiliate Marketer gives you the opportunity to begin selling without your own product. It is very easy simply sign up with an affiliate-marketing program then choose products of interest to you in a niche you have a little knowledge in. Affiliate marketers are paid by the original merchant on a percentage or commission basis. When you recommend a product and send visitors to the product web site and a sale is made you will receive a commission.
Becoming an affiliate in an affiliate marketing program is a simple process and it will cost you nothing to join the program. Your only expense is promoting the product and driving traffic or potential buyers to your affiliate web site. In spite of all the potential earnings and bonuses offers by affiliate programs many people fail at affiliate marketing for one very simple reason, they don’t know how to properly promote and market their affiliate products.

 

The real question of the day is, do you have to have a website to participate in affiliate programs? You can do affiliate marketing without your own website to begin with. In fact, you can market affiliate programs without ever having a web site. There are many ways to promote and market affiliate products without your own web site.

 

The easiest and frankly the best way to market affiliate programs is utilizing the power of a free blog. When you market affiliate programs via a blog you are not nailed down to any one product like you are with a fixed content web site. You can ad fresh content on a regular basis and promote a variety of affiliate products depending on the subject matter of your posts.

 

I’ll leave you with that thought in mind. I’ll be covering additional affiliate marketing strategies and aspects of affiliate marketing in my next article.

Till next time, Happy marketing!

How To Easily Set Up Your, Affiliate Marketing, Money Making Blogs

You can easily set up money making blogs without even having a website. Blogs are an Affiliate Marketers gold mine. You can zero in and have a blog on a particular affiliate niche, or you can promote a number of affiliate products from a single blog. All you need is your own domain name and a web hosting account. You can use the standard “free” WordPress Blog if you choose, however I highly recommend hosting your own blog. When you host your blog, on your own hosting account, you have complete control and do not run the risk of having your blog shut down. You can have as many blogs, in the niches of your choice, with single hosting account for less than eight bucks a month.

 

I personally use Blue Voda. Blue Voda is a free downloadable wysiwig (what you see is what you get) web site building software and web hosting service. I’ve been using Blue Voda for some time now and can say without reservation, It is amazingly easy to use. You don’t need any prior experience or know html. Their support is fantastic. Blue Voda provides you with free video tutorials on every aspect of setting up and installing your WordPress Blog or building your website. You can download a free copy here.

Now back to setting up your cash generating blog. The first thing to do is register your domain name and activate your hosting account with Blue Voda. Now go to the video tutorial section of Blue Voda and open the section labeled (How to install WordPress in Blue Voda) and simply follow the directions. This can be done in a few minutes.

You will initially be provided with the default WordPress templates. I suggest you don’t use these. They are too generic and unprofessional. Go to WordPress and find a template that is professional in appearance and is optimized for Google ad sense. WordPress has a ton of templates that you can download for free. Down load the ones you like and then upload them to your Blue Voda account. Again Blue Voda provides clear video instructions on how to upload files to your account. You can now change your theme with just a couple of mouse clicks until you arrive at the one you like best.

Next I suggest you download a few plugins to help monetize and manage your blog. You should at least have a stat plug in to keep records of your traffic, an RSS plug-in for people to subscribe to your blog and an SEO plug-in to help increase your traffic and search engine rating. There are a lot of cool plugins for WordPress. Check them out and install as many as you feel you would like.

After you have made a few posts sign up for a Google ad sense account and then start posting at least three times a week. That’s all there is to it. You now have a cash generating blog. The amount you make is completely up to you and your commitment and efforts. One thing is a given…You will make money from your Google ad sense. It could amount to a few hundred dollars a month for each blog. It is all dependent on how much traffic you generate. If you would like a complete training course on how to make a fortune blogging, from someone who is making about $90,000.00 a month, I suggest you pick up a copy of Rob Benwell’s Blogging to the Bank 3.0

Till next time, Terry
