Affiliate Marketers I need your Advice!!!

8 replies
My wife is questioning my desire to do affiliate marketing. She says why would anybody want to click on my link just to buy products/services that I promote.

So affiliate marketers, my question is, about how much do you make a month? Is it possible to make a living on the amount you make?

Thanks

    Why don't you answer your wife:

    "Look honey, when people want to buy something, they search on Google right? Here... my site is appear on Google.

    And if they interested in good review title, they'll click that title right? Look... my review title is good and grabbing attention.

    And if they read good review they'll interested in the product right? Here... I wrote good review.

    When they are interested then they'll search button to buy it right? Here I provide the buy now button that they can click.

    Then, is it possible that I make money from creating review sites? Of course it is!"

    If it was not be possible to make a living from affiliate marketing, then it would not exist and neither would this forum. I ask her how many times she has clicked on an ad and bought a product or read and article and bought a product. Show her the simple process and it will make more sense to her.

    Marketing happens everywhere and online marketing is not that different than the off line marketing. It is still about putting your ad in front of someone that wants to buy the product.

    I'm not sure any of us telling you how much we make through affiliate marketing is going to help you in this situation. What I would do find a niche (problem), build a website (solution) and prove to her how it works that way.

    As always just my $.02...

    You're going to fail. If you're afraid of failure then you do not belong in the Internet Marketing Business. Period.

    It depends upon the product you promote and the review/letter/blog/article/salespage you make.

    People are always searching for a 3rd party view on a product or a service before they go ahead and buy it, and this is where an affiliate marketer can capitalize on. You writer reviews or informative articles containing unique content and post it on the web, then people would read them and if the article are interesting enough, they will click on the aff. link (at the end of the article) for sure. And further, if they buy, you get a commission.

    You cannot expect anyone to click on your link just like that, you must give him a reason to click, that is attained by providing quality content or provides a solution.

    People don't just make a living, they make a fortune out of Affiliate marketing.

    To put it plainly Network Marketing is a numbers game, your audience is the world at time you have hundreds of thousands of potential buyers. You only have to sell a 20 dollar product 50k times to become a millionaire.

    I have yet to join the ranks myself, but I get a strong impression many network marketer pro's make millions.

    Sorry I realize now your post was in regards to affiliate marketing, regardless your commissions are just smaller, but at the same time you can market many products and you don't have to focus building your own rather then just on marketing.

    As my wise uncle used to say, do what you gotta do until you can do what you want to do. Keep your day job, as slow money is better then no money.

    In the mean time keep working the affiliate marketing building the B plan, learn, test, and act. When things start to take off, then you do whatever you choose.

    Oh yes, you can make a full-time income with internet marketing. Limitless potential. When people want to buy something, they will go to search engines to look for reviews, etc. before they buy.

    Yeah, I think just about every internet/affiliate marketer faces these type of questions and doubt at the beginning. My family and many of my friends use to think I was just trying to live a pipe dream.

    That was until I started banking each month. Once the money roles in then people know it's no joke.

    Anyways, I make enough per month to pay my bills and about to take it to another level since now I work full time online. I started off part time and went full time online within a few years. That was all while I was working a full time job and doing affiliate marketing only part time.

    If you stay focused and put in the effort, it's very possible to bring in enough money within a year or two to completely live off of your online income.

    I know several people who bring in 6 figures just from affiliate marketing. Having said that, I know even more people who tried and didn't make any money online. I don't want to hype anyone up and just want to be real.

    It's really going to be up to you. It's not about the skill level, talents, or etc.... cause I didn't have any of those when I first started. It's more about being determined, focused and having the right attitude if you want to make it online.
