Making Money Online With Affiliate Marketing

We discussed this briefly in the affiliate network category, the idea is that you get traffic to someone else’s site, and if someone buys you get a cut of the sale. You don’t have to deal with the customer service, refunds, product creation, upgrades etc, all you do is send traffic to them. However that also means you don’t control any of the process which can be frustrating.

Let’s look at the main ways you can get people to click through your affiliate link to go to the merchant’s site:

Review pages: Review 3 products on a specific niche and recommend which you think is best. Have affiliate links in for all of them just in case someone prefers something about one of the others. Drive traffic to the page and if they like your reviews you should get sales!

In context links: When you are writing about something on your site/blog, in an article, then you put your affiliate link directly into the text as you talk about something. Maybe you are talking about dog training, and you can quickly slip in an affiliate link about a product you know of that may help them.

Banner ads: Display one of the graphical banner ads on your page with a message of some kind that will make people click through.

Small text adverts: Just like Adsense, when you control your own site you can control what shows up on it, so you could put small discrete text adverts on your site to promote products.

Popups: Have you ever had something ‘popup’ on the screen when you go to a website? They are a great way of getting attention to your message/advert.

Those are the main methods and lots of different variations of each exist to making money online with affiliate marketing program. To get started then you need a solid plan of how you are going to get traffic through the affiliate link (without spamming etc) and then you need to sign up to one of the networks mentioned earlier.

If you still prefer the Adsense model of building small sites and getting traffic to them to get people to click ads, then you can use the same strategy but just replace the Adsense code for the little text ads mentioned above, I have heard that it can make much more revenue than Adsense and you have much more control over what is displayed.

Of course you don’t actually need to make a full sale… another form of making money online with affiliate marketing is where you just get people to give their zipcode to a website, or sign up with their email address etc, known as CPA or Cost Per Action/Cost Per Acquisition offers then the payouts can be quite lucrative, $1, $2 even much higher for credit card applications and insurance applications. Of course for the higher payouts you need the visitor to do more work!

But the simple offers can be hugely effective, for instance, if someone was offering a free trial of a site, and all the person had to do was give their email address. Then if you offered that to people in the right market who were interested in that kind of site, how many would sign up? A lot more people than would buy it if you just flat out referred them there and asked them to buy! So although the payouts are smaller than getting paid for every sale, the fact you can get so many more people complying can often make it much more lucrative!

I have looked at many articles and not come across such a site as yours that tells everyone everything they need to know.

I have added yoiu to my bookmarks. Can anyone else suggest other related topics that I can search for to find out more information?
