How To Earn Money Online Surely And Steadily With Affiliate Marketing

by Hans Havasi

To those reading this article, I assume you have a basic knowledge of affiliate marketing, what it is and how it works. When I first started out, I used www.clickbank.com mostly.

Networks such as www.clickbank.com keep out bad vendors and help by processing the payments so you get your percentage of each sale.

You can also find other companies that have their own affiliate programs. Be sure though to examine their affiliate programs so you don't get bad surprises!

You'll want a payment schedule and threshold that is fair and that you can live with. It's also great if you can have hands-on help and support as you are picking affiliates to partner with.

Those new to internet marketing can have a difficult time because they don't have a big list they can sell things to and market to. To give a good start you could consider to make a review site and through that get peoples emails by offering free ebooks and/or offering a marketing email course.

This was an easy way for me to get started and learn the basics and I think you'll find it will work for you too if you aren't already using this model.

A review site is a one page website that has a review of an affiliate product. To do this effectively you should actually purchase the product and use it and then write an original review.

Don't just rewrite a review written by somebody else. Make it as personal as possible and include your own results using the program. Your review will have much more credibility that way.

If you'd like, you can include more than one review on the page. For example, I like to have a review of my #1 favorite product in that category and then include 2-4 runner ups and include reviews for those as well.

I set a goal to create 10 of these review sites per month. It took me about 40 hours per month to create those sites. After you create one review site you have a template you can use and it goes much faster.

Then I spent about 10 hours per month marketing the older sites in the forums and other social media plus creating ad campaigns.

My expenses were $10/month for hosting for all of the sites and $8 or so for each individual domain. My marketing expenses, including purchase of the products I reviewed and ad campaigns, were $700-1000 per month.

My profit after expenses, was $4000 each month, which works out to $67 per hour. Not too many jobs pay that much money and I achieved that level in a very short time.

From here on you can grow your business, but for newbies its good to start with review sites. If you want to know more about internet marketing for newbies please visit my site
