Affiliate Marketing
Unless you've been living under a rock, you have probably heard of countless normal, working-class men and women who have supplemented, or even replaced their full-time income with an internet phenomenon known as affiliate marketing. But what is affiliate marketing, exactly. More importantly, how can you cash in on this growing business opportunity while it is still as white-hot as can be? Keep reading!
What Is Affiliate Marketing?
Quite simply, working as an affiliate is much like the online version of being a sales associate for a car dealership, furniture store, or insurance agency. The only difference is that you can work for as many different companies as you want, on a freelance basis, without ever having to answer to a chain of command. Oh, and you can do it all from home in your undies!
What's even better is that if you do it correctly, you can keep making money for months and even years to come without ever needing to maintain production. In other words, you earn residual income for your efforts. Work once and get paid over and over again... not a bad system, if you ask me! But there is a catch.
Why Affiliate Marketing Isn't Perfect
In all honesty, this business model is near-perfect. You get to promote other people's products, earn nice commissions essentially on autopilot, never handle any inventory, never need to create a product of your own, and never deal with any customer service issues. It's really nice like that. The only problem I can really see with being an affiliate is that you only get paid for your own efforts. As a product owner, you can build an army of affiliates to work for you.
That said, affiliate marketing is the perfect way to make truly easy money online with virtually zero hassle whatsoever. And the money you can earn is absolutely ridiculous. There are affiliates out there right now earning five and six figures per year... and "super affiliates" earning this much every single month! Yes, some affiliate marketers are earning well over a million dollars on an annual basis!
Obviously, you can't live on this kind of money. But it can help you pay a few bills.:=)
How Can I Cash In With Affiliate Marketing?
The process becomes second nature over time. The first thing you'll want to do is choose a good product to promote. There is a whole list of criteria you should follow to ensure you've found a good product. But I assure you, these products are literally everywhere. Some things you should look for include:
* High demand (obviously)
* Good payout
* Good customer support (we never want to promote shady products)
* High conversions
* Strong reputation
* "Evergreen niche" (will sell all year-round)
* Solves a real problem
