Computer & Money

Today,  not having a website should no longer be an excure. Platform like Wordpress have make it extremely easy for anyone to create beautiful looking site in a matter of minutes, without having to spend hundreds of hours sitting in front of a computer learning HTML,  CSS and Javascript.

A website play a very important role in affiliate marketing, more so when you incorporate it into your marketing stratagy. Having your own website is assential because it help you build trust with potential customer. People will be more inclined to purchase a weight loss product recommend by a website with the url: www.weightlosspal.com than to purchase product recommended by website with the url: www.supermen83.wixsite.com/weightloss. I hope you get the point.



A website can be use in a few different ways, but this will ultimately depend on the strategy that you use. Here is a couple:

1. A blog: this is website that contains useful infomation abiout specific niche. I only recommend this trategy those who are willing to spend time or money producing quality content. But it can be a great way to earn really good money in the long run.

The reason why it model is no longer appealing to most internet marketer is because in order to make it work, you will be required to create large and engaging pieces of content specifically geared towards your niche audience. Once you create the content, you will then need to invest your time or money in order to rank your post to the first pages of google or other search engines in order get your post to attrack organic traffic. To do this,  you will need to have a website with great search engine optimazation (SEO), which can be another beast on its owner.

       2. Landing or Squeeze page: This is mostly what i use in order to promote products with affiliate makerting.

A landing page can be created as an infomative artical (Advertorial) or as a way to collect visitor's infomation such as thier email address, names and telephone numbers. You can easily create beautiful landing page with softwares like clickfunnels,  leadpages or instapage. If you don't know how a landing page work or how it looks, simply think back at how you got to the point of reading this guide. I first targeted yoi with an advertisement on a social media platform, and when you clicked on it you were immediately sent to the landing page, where we exchanged your email address for this free guide.

In my opinion collecting email should be a must for any affiliate marketer. What many people will tell you to do is to send traffic directly to the offers or to an advertorial, and although it is possible to make some money doing it that way failing to create email list coukd result in losing hundreds of thousands of dollars in the long run.

I can't stree enough about the importance of growing an email list. Many people don't do this because growing an email list takes time, but trust me,  you will be glad that you did it.

A customer's email list, when used correctly, is used to interact, help and generate trust with people. It is not another way to spam them with unrelated offers everyday or sell them on crappy products. When you help people with useful infomation, you will gain their trust and they will begin to see you as an authority, buying anything you recommend without giving it much thought, which as a result will help you earn much more money in comissions.

How to Make Your First Million Dollars Online With Affiliate Marketing - Alex M

The type of product that you decide to promote can have a direct impact on the amount of money that you make. With affiliate marketing, you must understand that some products are in more demand than offers. For lack of a better example, there is a higher demand for an Iphone than for one of those old Nokia phones, yeah those that could cause tiny earthquakes if they fell off your hand. So, knowing this, you should know that you will be more likely to make money by promoting Iphones than by promoting those old Nokia phones. Your job as an affiliate marketer is to find products in demand and put these in font of people that could be interested in them. These products can be either physical or digital.



Physical products

If you prefer to promote physical products over digital ones, you will be able to promote pretty much any product thay you desire. Nowadays, giant retailer like Amazon, Target, Walmart, Best buy, and many others have affiliate programs that give everyone the opportunity to sign up and help them generate sales in exchange for commissions.

How to promote physical products ?

It is very easy to sign up as an affiliate with companies in order to promote physical products. Simply visit their websites, scroll down to the anchor texts "Affiliates", "Publisher", "Work with us", or "Partner".

You should be able to find an affiliate program with all of the companies listed above, but you certainly don't have work with all of them at once, just select the one that sells a product that you will like promote, sign up, and begin promoting it.

When you complete your affiliate registration, you will be given a special link and this link will allow you to track exactly how many sales are generated from the people who click on it and purchase the product base on your recommendation.

Here are some of most profitable physical product categories to promote:

• Electronics
• Sport gear
• Household items
• Wearable accessories
• Health supplements
• Ect.

Affiliate marketing is a marketing model designed so that individuals can help companies sell more of their products and services both online and offline. As an affiliate marketer (also known as publisher), you will work within a referral based system that allows you to earn a cut of the money that companies make from sales made to people that you refer.


How much money can you make with affiliate marketing?

The amount of money that you can earn with affiliate marketing will depend on the product that you choose to promote and how many sales you can generate. Often times this amount can even be 100% of the total price of the product, so if you refer someone to a $100 product and they make the purchase, your commission will be $100 (There is a reason why some companies do this, you will find out why once you become a more advanced marketer).

What products can you sell with affiliate marketing?

One of the reasons why affiliate marketing is so appealing to so many people is because you can promote pretty much anything under the moon. You can sell both high and low ticket products. Low ticket products range in price from $7 to $200, and high ticket from $297 -$25,000.

All and all, if I was to summarize affiliate marketing in five basic points, they would be:

1. You partner with a company to help them promote a product or service.
2. You market and recommend the products to other people by using your own marketing resources.
3. People purchase the product based on your recommendation.
4. You get paid a commission for those purchases.
5. You flip your boss goodbye, move to a mansion in Dubai and buy a Bugatti. (Possible only if you are serious and willing to work hard ☺)

Benefits of affiliate marketing

There has never been a better time to start an affiliate marketing business than today, and the opportunity continues to grow every day as millions of people turn to the internet to purchase new products and services. In fact, the yearly revenue estimate generated from affiliate marketing is a whopping 6.4 billion, which is expected to grow by 40% by the year 2019 as about 80% of all business transactions will begin online. Experienced marketers know this, and they are doing everything they can to take advantage of this predicted growth.

Therefore, if you want to make money online, it is very important that you also prepare yourself to take your own cut of this 6.4 billion dollar pie. Do this by following the instructions provided to you in this free guide and course, and by making the decision to start today.

If you are still skeptical about affiliate marketing (which I don’t blame you there are a lot of people giving it a bad rep out there), below I’ll give you a few more reasons why this is the best online business to start today.

It is easy to get started

Affiliate marketing is one of the best and easiest ways for anyone to make money online. It is a 6.4 billion dollar a year industry with a very low barrier of entry. You don’t need any special degrees or high technical knowledge to make it work, the door is pretty much open to anyone willing to step inside.

You can start with no investment

Affiliate marketing does not require a big initial investment. If you are strapped on cash, there are plenty of free strategies that you can use in order to find people on the internet who are interested in buying whatever you promote.

You can make money selling products that fall within your passion

Another important reason why I love affiliate marketing is because you can earn good money, while promoting products or services within your passion.  Amazon.com alone has one of the biggest affiliate marketing programs, and if you have ever shopped on their site, you can attest that they pretty much sell everything under the moon. This is great for us affiliate marketers because we can make commissions promoting whatever items fall within our passion, without getting bored or not know what we are talking about.

You can work from anywhere in the world

Affiliate marketing allows you to work from anywhere in the world, all you need is a computer and an internet connection.

Who is affiliate marketing for?

Affiliate marketing is for people willing to create a new source of income using the internet. Whether you are looking to make an extra $100 a month, $500 per month, or even $1,000,000 a month, affiliate marketing can be a way to get there.

When done right, affiliate marketing is an excellent way to make really good money online. If you are an over achiever and dedicate yourself enough to master the affiliate marketing game, you can earn incredible amounts of money right from the comfort of your home or anywhere in the world as long as you have a computer and an internet connection at hand.

The wrong approach to affiliate marketing

Nowadays there seem to be a bunch of “gurus” teaching people to do affiliate marketing by means of deceiving people in order to get them to buy their products.

These “gurus” teach their students to overhype their promises in order to increase sales and earn more money in commissions, even when they have never personally used, done any type of research, or believe in the products that they promote.

Although this seems to be a way to make a quick buck online, I don’t really recommend anyone to take this approach. If you want to make good money with affiliate marketing you need to treat it as a business, not as get rich quick scheme.

The right approach to affiliate marketing 

Affiliate marketing is beautiful when done in a way that adds value to people. In other words, don’t get into affiliate marketing if you plan to spam people with offers from products that you know won’t help them. If you do it this way, other than not make many sales, you can end up pissing off a lot of people.

As an affiliate marketer your job is to identify a need in the market, find a solution that satisfies that need (an affiliate product or service), and put that solution in front of the people who need it. It’s simple!

I have had people thank me before for selling them an affiliate product and, in my opinion, that is the way that it should be.
