When you want to make money from your own website, affiliate marketing is usually the way to go. There are a couple reasons for this. For one thing you need very little to start with if any money to get started. This is true even if you want to do it completely on free sites like we are going to discuss.
But even better than that, you can milk your own business for almost any commission you want for as long as you want to make money. This is a fantastic way to do business and owning your own totally free enterprise up to and can really grow a huge stream of income.
But there are things you have to understand about making money online. Even after all the options are taken care of, they always have a place for you to go in. The first and most important thing is choosing the right product. This has to be the best money maker you can find. I suggest that you use the free tools on the internet to see if you can find a product. If you do, the creator most likely would not make any money unless he or she was who has been making the sales.
This is where choosing the right product is so important. When you have found the product, you are next going to have to figure out a way to promote it. And the best and easiest way to promote it is by writing articles. This is the easiest way to market on the internet from home. You however, don't get paid for putting ads or banners or anything like that on your own sites. You only get paid if you actually make sales, and the chances of you succeeding unless you use paid marketing is slim to none.
So, figure out a way to write articles that is going to sell and promote the product you have chosen. Get your hands on some of the keywords that it targets to start with. You now have to figure out how to get traffic to your site and the easiest way to do this is by writing articles.
It is just as easy to write an article as it is to promote an affiliate product. First, all you have to do is write a 300-500 word article. It doesn't have to be perfect, but yet, you have to be able to engage your readers. That is the key. If you are not a good writer, outsource it, they won't be too expensive.
You need to write about a certain product or service, or a couple of things. It should be something that you know about and can be talked about. You should feel comfortable promoting it and you should use the affiliate link you were given to promote.
The next step is to write a "presell" or review page. This is where you get to sell your affiliate product. This also shouldn't take too long. Put together a simple page with some information about the product and four or five affiliate links. You should promote the page that you were given and not the redirected URL. Or at least, you shouldn't. Many sites that redirect their readers to an affiliate product have ethics which are much more questionable than if you were to promote the page directly.
Sites like Clickbank and Commission Junction are even better because you can often find a lot of affiliates that promote these products. These sites are filled with hundreds of affiliate products that you can promote and are all kinds of things you might be interested in. This is another thing to keep in mind. A lot of the affiliate products at these sites are "hard" goods; meaning they're electronic or have to be Packaged and shipped by the owner.
You can Google for "affiliate marketing information" to find many different articles on the subject and you can also check out Websites like Clickbank and Commission Junction. There's also forums, blogs, and reviews to help you in your search for a specific product or service. Let's just say you're interested in marketing " manipulative writing" (words that might be related to your product). Go to those sites and look for the words "sell" or "sell your writing" and browse the products that come up. If you like what you see and are thinking of marketing a product on your site, feel free to do it. Never be afraid to ask!
In my opinion, it just makes sense to use an approach like this if you want to make money online from home. You can also make money with a website at the same time which is another advantage of using an approach like this. You can use a website or simply create a redirect and direct traffic to the article to your own website or to an affiliate website. Keep in mind that with this traffic, you are building your list which is where your long-term financial security comes from.
