Can you really get rich being an affiliate?  Really?

Well, there are some who claim that you can get very rich being an affiliate, and there are others who say that you can’t.  So unless you happen to personally know someone who has gotten rich in affiliate marketing, I would say at this point that I don’t know.

Now that doesn’t help much, does it!  I must say that so far, I have not gotten rich in affiliate marketing, but I am going to keep trying! :-)  Because even though I do not know anyone personally who has gotten rich in affiliate marketing, I do “know” some people online who claim to have gotten rich being affiliates.  And unless they are lying, then I believe it is possible.

So how does one get rich in affiliate marketing?

I don’t know if I have room here to give you the full tutorial, so I will give the beginning basics.  I may give more information in future blog posts, if this gets too long.

The first step to becoming an affiliate is deciding on a niche.  What is a niche?  A niche is a category that you are interested in promoting.  It can either be broad (health, fitness, weight loss, internet marketing, getting out of debt) or it can be much narrower (how to stop snoring, 5 steps to increasing your endurance, 7 tips for losing your first ten pounds, how to market your business using classified ads, 10 ways to cut expenses).

It may be a good idea to do some keyword research to find out just how popular your chosen niche really is.  You will need to check to see how many searches are being made on that keyword, as well as how much competition there is in that niche.  If there are not many searches, then it would be harder to get prospects to your site to see your product.  If there is much competition, it will be hard to stand out from the crowd, unless you can come up with a particular twist or something eye-catching.

A good keyword tool is Google AdWords Keyword Tool.  You can find it easily by doing a Google search.  It will be the first listing.  Check it out and play with it for a while to see how it works.

What’s next?

Next, you will need to find products in your chosen niche.  These are usually in the form of ebooks or software, but you could also sell physical products that have affiliate programs.  There are many to choose from, so choose wisely – not all products being sold on the internet are good quality.  If you sell a product that is poor quality, it will affect your own reputation, as well as cause a lot of people to ask for refunds.  So make sure what you want to sell is a good-quality product before you market it.

But how does one find products to sell?

Go to a good search engine and do a search for your niche, with the words “affiliate program” after the niche word(s).  This should pull up many possibilities for both products and vendors (people offering the products to affiliates to sell).  Once again, research to make sure the vendor is reputable and treats the affiliates well.  Or you could just take the easy way out and go to Clickbank to see if there are any products in your niche for sale there.

And I am noticing that this post is getting rather long, so stay tuned next time for Part 2!

I have been talking about something big that would be coming in the near future, and it is finally here!

My Big Revelation

I have been spending the past month or so doing intense training with my mentor, Chris Farrell.  Chris Farrell’s membership site has been voted the Number One Internet Marketing Service by IM Report Card.

And I can verify that he deserves it!  His training is top-notch, and even if you are a complete newbie who knows nothing about technology or the marketing business, you can understand everything he teaches.

If you have been struggling to make the kind of money online that you dream about, and that you hear everyone say you can make, but you just aren’t making, you need to check Chris Farrell out.

Your Free Gift

I have also mentioned a free gift for you.  Well, it is ready for you!  Chris has written a wonderful eBook called, “Create YourFirst Website By 3:45 This Afternoon.”

Many free eBooks you will find on the web are nothing more than cheap junk that say a little good and a lot of nothing.  Chris Farrell’s materials are as far from that as Neptune is from the Sun!

Chris only puts out quality material that is loaded with information.  He leaves nothing out.  (Have you noticed that most authors of eBooks or courses will leave out important steps, and then tell you that you have to purchase their expensive programs or books to get the full story?  Not Chris!  He tells you EVERYTHING you need to know!)

So go to my website and get a copy of this eBook now.  You won’t regret it!

Why would I say such a thing?!  If I am in affiliate marketing, shouldn’t I be more positive than all that?

Remember the subtitle of my blog site?  It is “Best Network Marketing Secrets.”  And one of the secrets of affiliate marketing that not many people want to tell you is that. . .making money in affiliate marketing takes TIME!

Why do the “experts” not want you to know this?

If you know this dirty little “secret,” you may not be so ready to buy their programs that claim that you can make thousands of dollars in a short period of time!  And then the people selling the training programs or ebooks would not make the kind of money THEY want to make!

Does this mean that you can’t make good money in affiliate marketing?

The answer to that is “NO!”  You can make VERY good money in affiliate marketing, but you have to be prepared to spend lots of time and energy (WORK) training; setting things up; deciding on your market, product, advertising, etc.; and then building your list before you can expect to make much, if any, money.  Once you put in the effort, once you spend the time that it takes to get everything in place, once you get your list well on its way, THEN you can start making money.

And it may not be thousands right away.  You may make $34 here, $75 there, eventually working up to $100-$250 per day.  After some more time and effort, you may then start seeing $1000 days.  But not if you want it NOW.  You will need to be patient and work hard to get there.

And if you are willing to put in the time and effort that it takes, you will make a good income in affiliate marketing.  But if you just want the big bucks NOW, than you really need to rethink going into business for yourself, because anything you do to make money from your computer will take WORK.

Stay tuned for some more tips on affiliate marketing in my next post!

Ask yourself this at the end of the day, would I hire myself tomorrow?  Be honest.  Do you spend your time wisely and get lots done, or do you find yourself being lazy, doing busy work, and putting off what you know needs doing?

Some days you have the motivation and inner drive to work hard and get a lot of work done, and other days (like today when it is cloudy and dreary) you feel lazy and tired.  It is just so HARD to think and do any work except busy work.

How do you make yourself get work done when you feel that way?  Do you have a schedule that you follow no matter what, and just DO what you need to?  Do you take a nap, hoping that will take the edge off so you will feel more like working?  Do you declare a vacation day for yourself?  Do you have motivational phrases posted around your office to inspire you to get busy?

I would love to hear from you what you do when you feel this way!

Are you getting work done, or are you being lazy?

Think about what you do every day at your computer, or whatever you do to start your work day.  Do you do a lot of busy work, like check email, headlines, facebook, twitter, your stats?  If this only takes you a few minutes, that is fine.  But if it ends up sucking you in and taking you half the day, this is not working hard or smart.

If you need to write an article or a blog, or write some ad copy, this should really be tackled fairly early in your day so that you can get it done while your mind is fresh and you have the time.  If you let things slide while you do your busy work, your mind will be more sluggish and you will find it easier to put things off that you really should be doing.

Once your important tasks are finished, then you can make time to do the other things, and then you can spend as much time as you want or need in those tasks.  You will feel like you got things accomplished, and you will feel good about yourself and your business.

Or if you feel some of those things are important to your business, set a time limit, do what you really need to first, then move on to your other more important tasks, returning to the emails, etc., later.

And sign up on the right for email training in affiliate marketing, if that is your niche.

So, what is the first step in getting started with affiliate marketing?  What do you need to do?

Getting Started With Affiliate Marketing

The first step, in my opinion, is to get some good training so that you know what you are doing.  If you do not get good training, you can try to do things the way you think they should be done, and go through a lot of trial and error.  And you don’t really want to have a lot of error, do you?  That can be costly, and it definitely will be time-wasting.

So find someone who can teach you the ins and outs of affiliate marketing, someone who will walk you through step by step, so that you can make a minimum of errors and start making money faster.

There are a myriad of articles, ebooks, and training programs on the internet that can teach you how to get started.  So how do you know which one to pick?  How do you know the good from the bad, the mediocre from the scams?

The Best Way

The best way is to find someone you trust who can lead you to someone who is doing well in affiliate marketing and who does well at teaching it to others.  There may be many good teachers out there, but the one that I know about, who does an excellent job teaching others, is my buddy, Vick.

Vick wrote a couple of articles on my blog here recently, and I am learning a lot from him.  His teaching style is the best that I have seen.  His training videos are short, excellent quality, and very informative.  He and his team tell you everything you need to know.  When something isn’t working well anymore, he makes changes to help you be successful.

And his webinars are fun.  You really feel like you are in a community when you are watching one of his webinars.  You can interact with others in the webinar, not just the leader.

So if you are at all interested in affiliate marketing, I would highly recommend that you click on the link on the right for Global Success Club, and check out what we are doing!

Fast Money Online – How to Make It Happen
FREE – 48 Hour Cash Machine

http://budurl.com/vz74

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

Many people desire to make fast money online. There are quite a few ways to do this. One very popular way to do this is by product review. Product reviews require you to give a little bit of personal information, such as your home address, in order to receive a product. The product may range from health and beauty items to personal fitness. It also may be something simple, like signing up for a website membership. After reviewing the product, a survey is taken that may take only a few minutes. Payment is then usually received within a few weeks.

Surveys are another way to make fast money online. Aside from reviewing products, you may be asked to do just general surveys according to certain specifications. These surveys may be sent to you because of your background, age, sex or a variety of other aspects. Many times surveys are based on the personal interests of people, and allow web sites and others to reach a wider range of people by reviewing their product based on what is said in their surveys. Surveys pay well depending on the topic, and payment is received within a few weeks or within a month.

Another way to make fast money online is to sell things. You can sell just about anything, but many people chose items that they are not using or do not need. These items are typically found around their home and can range in type. Some items that can be sold include CDs, video games, appliances, sporting goods, and even furniture such as lamps, bookcases, dressers, and more. If you are selling these items from a site, the website takes a portion of the money you sold the item for, usually a small percentage. Payment is received within a few days.

One final way that you can make fast money online is to become a content writer. This content will be displayed on the web site that employs you. Content must be completely unique and thus not plagiarized in any way. Writers can write many different types of articles, such as how-to articles, product reviews or general articles. These articles usually require the writer to include one or more keyword that is the subject of the article. Payment is based about how many words are in the article and the quality of the content. Payment is usually received within one week.

Fast Cash Online – Is it Possible?

FREE 48 Hour Cash Machine

http://budurl.com/vz74

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

You’ve seen the stories about making fast cash online. People have reported that overnight, they’ve made thousands or hundreds of thousands of dollars. Now they can quit their jobs, stay at home with their families, buy their dream houses and take all of those vacations they wanted to take. Realistically speaking, all kinds of warning bells should be going off in your head right now. However, there are a few things to consider when people make these claims.

How fast is fast? That’s the question that most people should consider when they read the term “fast cash online.” What is fast to you may not be fast to me. We all have different concepts of time. An 8-hour shift at work may fly by for some, while others are dragging their feet, wondering when the day is going to end. At the same token, a driver may think that 60mph is fast, while another one thinks that the same speed is too slow. The point is our definition of time varies from person to person. Keep that in mind.

Many people don’t mind spending a year to make their online money making system work. To them, that’s fast. In a brick and mortar business, it may take years to see actual profit. This is not necessarily so with an online business. If you keep working at it, it is possible to make it successful in 12 months or less. But you must stay consistent. Another thing to consider is how much cash is the person talking about? Is it anywhere from $5 to $10? What if it’s simply ten cents? This is where this term can get very tricky. Yes, that money is indeed fast cash online, since it was made online very quickly. But is that the amount that you really thought you were going to get?

Even if it starts out as a very small amount, there is always room for improvement when trying to make money online. If you take the time to work with what you have, you’ll find yourself pulling in money left and right before you know it. The one thing that we always forget as humans is time flies. Not just when you’re having fun, but when you’re doing anything. Those little tweaks that you’re making to your business right now will seem like ancient history in 3 to 6 months. You really will refer to it as “a long time ago.” You will have done so many things in that period of time, that it will more than likely seem like it.

Here’s more affiliate program information for you that I promised in my last blog.

Okay, last time we covered some of the necessary but boring affiliate programs that can bring in good residual income.  But you want something a little more exciting, right?

Affiliate Programs, Part 2

There are a TON of affiliate programs out there, and I haven’t even scratched the surface in my own research!

One of the most well-known and used affiliate program sites is ClickBank.  Some of you may be very familiar with ClickBank, and others of you may be wondering what I am talking about.  So for those of you in the dark, ClickBank is a website where you can sign up for free, pick a category in their marketplace, chose a product they have for sale, and then market it yourself for 50-70% commissions.

If you can find some free or cheap places to advertise, this is a very inexpensive way to go, but there are some tricks to picking the right products and choosing where to market them.  If you sign up for my free newsletter on the right, you can learn these secrets and start making money.

Also, if you do a search for affiliate programs, you can find a lot of places that offer to let you be an affiliate.  In fact, the more you learn about affiliate programs, the more places you will notice that offer them!

Some of these programs will be for things that have monthly fees, some will be one-time fees, and others will offer other products to the customer, which will also get you commissions if they buy.

And the more you learn, the more you will find out how to do even better with affiliate marketing!  (Can you tell I’m excited about affiliate marketing?!)

So sign up today, and get started with YOUR affiliate marketing!  Then tell me all about your success!

You’re going to talk about affiliate programs again?  Yes, I am!  And do you know why?  It is because there is a lot of money to be made from affiliate programs, and I feel you should know more about them.

Affiliate Programs, Part 1

Today, I am going to focus on one kind of affiliate programs – those that are not real exciting, but people need and use.  These can bring in monthly or yearly residual income.

Everyone doing business online needs to have one or more domain names.  If you can catch them before they start their business and recommend a place to go to get their domain names, you can get commissions every time they sign up for a new name.  You just have to sign up for the affiliate program the company has, and then whenever you send someone there, and they buy, you will get a commission.  As you may already know, you have to renew your domain name from time to time, and so will your customers.  If you can get a commission from them every time, it will give you repeated income.

Now granted, domain names are not big money-makers.  However, when they are all added together, and if you can bring in new customers on a regular basis, it can add up.

Another place to make good commissions from boring affiliates is your autoresponder host.  You can become an affiliate of that, too, and then you will get a MONTHLY residual income.  Anyone who wants to use an autoresponder list, or who wants to write their own autoresponders, needs to be a member of an autoresponder company.  These companies charge a monthly fee to use their service.  So anyone you can get to sign up will bring you a monthly commission.  Get enough people buying, and you can have a pretty good monthly income, especially if you can keep getting new sign-ups!

Stay tuned next time for more on affiliate programs.  I will tackle the more fun kind next time!

In the meantime, if you like the free information you are getting on this blog, let me know you like it.  If you want more in-depth information, sign up on the right for my emails.
