Affiliate Marketing for Beginners - Start Making Money Now! by SimplyWebtastic


Are you looking to make some extra money, but don't have the funds or resources to start-up a full-time business? If so, Affiliate Marketing is the solution for you. Affiliate Marketing is essentially selling someone elses goods or services and earning a commission on that sale.

The benefits of Affiliate Marketing are the low start up costs, absence of product inventory, and the high-profit potential. With Affiliate Marketing, you actively promote someone elses products, by various advertising methods, and the affiliate's source provides the goods or services to the customer. They handle customer payment and product delivery. You simply collect the commission.

HOW TO GET STARTED

The first step for any Affiliate Marketer is to establish a relationship with an affiliate community. Currently, the largest on-line distributor of digital media for affiliates, is ClickBank. Signing-up as an affiliate is free and only takes a few minutes.

You can find the ClickBank affiliate homepage here.

After signing-up with ClickBank, you will need to search their digital marketplace to determine which product or products to promote. There are thousands of affiliate programs to choose from and they range from work-at-home programs to financial investment techniques. You are not limited in the number or type of programs you can choose. However, it's best to start off small and grow your business as needed.

Once you have selected some affiliate programs, you will need to carefully think about how and where to promote your product.

PROMOTING YOUR PRODUCT

The key to success in any business venture is careful marketing and promotion of your product. Below are some proven techniques to help drive traffic and potential customers to your affiliate program:

1. The best way to get free advertising for your product is to join on-line forums related to the product you are selling. For example, if you are trying to sell a Work-At-Home program, do a Google search for work-at-home (and other variations), and visit the on-line forums, websites and blogs that allow discussions about your topic. This approach provides you with a highly targeted audience. They are already visiting the selected website because they have an interest in it. You now have a captive audience that may have an interest in your product. Look for websites with high traffic volume to increase your odds of finding a buyer.

2. This next approach works very well, but does require you to set a small budget for advertising costs. Google Ad-Words provides a way to target the people who are interested in your product. After signing-up for a free Google Ad-Words account, you create on-line ads that get displayed on Google's search results listings. Google does an excellent job of displaying only relevant ads that are related to the customer's search.

Remember, the displayed ads cost you money. Costs can vary widely (5 cents on up) depending on the keywords you use to target the ad, but you are allowed to set a daily budget ($5 for example). Once your daily quota nears this limit, Google slows down or stops the displaying of your ad. There are many options that you can configure with Google's Ad-Words that make the process very simple and rewarding. This method takes some trial and error in determining the right keywords that attract the most customers, but the rewards can be astonishing.

You can only succeed if you try! Take the time to research your options before investing any time or money. This is just one of many informational articles found at SimplyWebtastic.com, a solution for any of your Affiliate Marketing or Small Business needs.
