Chapter 1: Affiliate Marketing
The first, and perhaps most well-known online money making strategy is
called affiliate marketing. It is the most important method of making money
online, because you can combine it with almost any of the other methods
that are in this book. Affiliate marketing involves selling other people’s
products or services on your website, social media page, YouTube account,
and other Internet-based pages, thereby earning a commission on each sale.
Of course, this money making option requires that you have (or create) an
Internet site or page and that site or page caters to the same market as the
merchant or advertiser that you want to highlight and you should also have
enough visitors. But once you have that, you could make some serious cash.
HOW TO GET STARTED
If the idea of affiliate marketing interests you, here is a quick step-by-step
guide to getting you started:
Step #1: Select the category you wish to promote. This is pretty easy to do
if you already have an existing site or page, as it is going to be one that is
relevant to your subject or topic. For instance, if you currently own and
operate a website that is somehow related to money or financial issues, you
could increase your income base as an affiliate marketer (in which you
would be called the publisher) by promoting and selling products and
programs related to this topic (like the programs sold by Dave Ramsey,
creator of Financial Peace University, or Jim Cramer, host of Mad Money).
However, if you don’t have a page or site set up currently, what types of
products or services are you interested in? What are some things that you
are knowledgeable about and can discuss intelligently with your readers?
Select a category that you love or could add value to and the rest of the
process will be much easier for you.
Step #2: Set up a site or web page if you don’t currently have one. If you
don’t already have a website or page set up, now is the time to do it. Some
options to consider include developing a price comparison site, crafting a
review site, or making a discount site for products that people commonly
buy online as each one has the ability to attract consumers looking for
specific items. Also, sites like these serve a functional purpose for the
consumer; whether it is to help them save money, figure out which products

are higher qualities, or both, while putting more money in your pocket at the
same time.
Step #3: Decide what products or services you want to promote. If you
don’t believe in the product or service that you are an affiliate for, how can
you expect your reader to be?
Think of the items that you have no problem recommending to your closest
family and friends and your passion for them will shine through more clearly,
getting your reader as excited about them as you are.
Step #4: Pick which affiliate marketing site(s) you’d like to use and set up
an account. If you’re new to affiliate marketing, you may want to check out
sites such as Click bank, Amazon Affiliate Programs, E- Junkie, Pay Dotcom
(which pays commissions via PayPal), and CJ Affiliate by Conversant
(formerly known as Commission Junction). Each of these can direct you to
the merchants best suited for you, allowing you to make the most money
from your marketing affiliate program.
You’ll want to pay close attention to how each one works and consider the
impact it could have on your potential profits. For instance, Click bank lets
you earn up to 75% of the product price and Pay Dotcom offers commissions
up to 80%, but you may actually make more money off Amazon Affiliates
even though they give you a lower percentage (6-15% depending on which
program you choose) as they are one of the biggest online shopping retailers
worldwide.
If you already have a successful blog or website that draws a lot of traffic,
you may even get paid by a business for simply promoting their brand or
name on your site, such as with Google Ad Sense. Options like this are often
set up as pay-per-click, where you are reimbursed a certain rate for every
person that clicks on the affiliate link that you have displayed somewhere on
your site.
Step #5: How to select an affiliate program to promote. I will review the
process on Click Bank because it is the website I recommend you to start
with. First and most important is the commission you will get for each sale.
Aim at 60%+ commissions for digital products. On average, most digital
products on Click Bank sell between 35$-85$. Applying this rule you will be
making at least 21$ per sale. If you promote physical products, don’t stick
with a specific percent but make sure you will earn at least 50$ per sale
