Can You Make Money As An Affiliate Marketer?
Posted 20th November 2008 at 04:41 PM by Barbara Womack
Yes! Definitely. Just like you, I had been searching for a proven method to easily make multiple streams of passive income online. I was looking specifically for a system that would work for the ordinary person no matter what level of experience... Simple, basic stuff...that works and easy to understand. A system that would walk you through, step by step and show you how it’s done. I’m talking about tutorial videos and ebooks that over delivers in teaching and support. After all not all of us, including myself are computer or marketing savvy! The problem was finding the right affiliate marketing program that does what it claims and stands behind their products 100%.
The best place to start your search is the ClickBank Marketplace. There are over 11,000 information products to promote in dozens of markets and most pay 50-75% commission per sale. You don't have to be passionate about the market but it should be something you at least have an interest in learning about because you'll need to know what you're selling before you can recommend it to others. Select one of the top-selling products in a category that interests you. You want a competitive market where a lot of money is already being spent. There will always be room in a market of cash-in-hand buyers.
I highly recommend that you start out promoting digital products such as
information and software. Digital products are available for instant download so there is very little overhead and profit margins are much higher than they are with hard goods. That's why merchant's who sell digital products pay higher commissions. In fact, there are thousands of programs online that will pay you 50% - 75% commission.
Buy the product that you plan to promote. You want to make sure you're selling something with true value and has a decent sales letter. Spend some time reviewing the materials. And if you really want to be thorough, test some of the strategies to see if they actually work. Don’t rely on other’s testimonials and reviews. Check it out yourself, be your own judge.
Remember people buy from people they trust and if you want to continue selling products and services to your customers, don't risk your reputation by recommending a product that is full of hype and fluff! Think of yourself as a customer, if you are convinced to buy it then so will others.
