At first glance Affiliate Marketing may seem like a lot of work and a lot to learn. Once you dig deeper you soon realize that it's not so daunting, to get involved in.
There are many different types of affiliate programs you can start quite quickly and cheaply.
So what is an affiliate program?
In simple terms it is where you (webmaster) refer people (customers) to a vendor, and if that referral purchases a product from the vendor then you get a commission.
You can receive commissions from anything around 30% - 75% on average and can also be on a recurring basis, for example; a membership site that you pay monthly.
There are many affiliate programs that can be joined on the web - ClickBank, Commission Junction and Paydotcom to name a few.
When you have selected your product in a specific niche, it is better to have a website with a squeeze page dedicated to that particular product. This usually attracts more people (traffic) to that specific place.
You can attract traffic in various ways such as forums, article directories and review blogs.
In forums posting threads and asking questions related to your niche and replying to questions asked is a good way to drive traffic to your affiliate product. Always remembering to embed your affiliate link in your posts.
Article directories is another good way of getting your affiliate link out there by adding it to your resource box at the end of the article.
You can write reviews for certain blog owners looking for content with your link embedded through hyperlinks in your review.
They are all good ways of getting a positive outlook on your product.
Finding the best products for promoting needs some research and acquiring quality rather than popularity is the best option.
With the popular products you will have to work harder to promote them because of all the competition they have. This will make your chances of a profit less likely than it would be with less competition.
So to end i would say the 3 main points to deliberate when deciding what product to promote would be; ease of navigation, the popularity and the percentage you will receive for selling the product.
Consider each product carefully before promoting it, it might be a good idea to use it yourself first so you have first hand knowledge of the product.
I hope this has been somewhat helpful in your quest to earn from all programs attached to Affiliate Marketing.
