How to Start Making Money Online in Minutes Without a Website
1. How to Start Making Money
Online in Minutes Without a
Website
2. With the addition of affiliate programs, making money
online has never been easier. Affiliate programs are easy
because they allow people with no computer experience,
and no business experience, to jump online and start
making money almost instantly on the Internet.
3. An affiliate program is something many Web sites use to
attract new visitors. Companies allow you to sign up as
their affiliate and promote their product for them. Should
you help them sell anything, they pay you a commission
for your sales. They track their sales typically by using a
cookie they set on the Web visitor's browser when they
first arrive at the Web site. As an affiliate, if you send a
customer to the main site, even if they return at a later
date and purchase, as long as they still have the cookie on
their computer, the sale is tracked to you. That's right, you
can make money online without having to process any
orders, employ anyone, deal with customer service issues,
or any other time consuming tasks.
4. If you're familiar with affiliate programs then you probably
already know that the whole key to making high
commissions is through getting quality traffic, and a lot of
it, through your affiliate link. How you go about this is
going to be different for whatever product you're
promoting. I strongly believe one of the most lucrative
ways is through pay-per-click advertising. The nice part
about PPC advertising is that you can carefully pick your
keywords for pennies and promote only programs that can
pay you in dollars. The best way to turn a profit with
affiliate programs usually requires some type of budget to
buy advertising. You cannot be afraid to spend money to
make money.
5. There are a couple of other ways to make money
promoting affiliate programs that cost nothing. You can
create a free blog at Blogger and write about subjects that
relate to the products you're promoting. You can also
write informative articles and submit them to places
which will index them and include your affiliate link. And
another popular and free way is to hang out in forums
that relate to your target demographic and post to highly
active threads. If you answer people's questions honestly
and provide a value to the forum, people will not only
read what you post, they will click on your signature and
see the Website you're affiliated with. These are a great
free ways to get traffic to your affiliate link. They take a
little more time and patience than writing a two line PPC
ad, but are completely 100% free.
6. Some affiliate networks and Web sites require you to
already have a Web site to join. If you're just starting out
and don't have a Web site you can use to promote your
affiliate link, start with signing up with places, such as,
Clickbank. If you promote products for a company like
Clickbank, not only do you not need a Web site to join, but
you can market thousands of products they sell and only
sign up once. This means you can have an affiliate link for
any of the products they have, open an account with a PPC
search engine (e.g. Google) and be in business in only a
matter of minutes. Most people new to online marketing
have no idea how quickly they can sign up as an affiliate,
open a PPC advertising account, and immediately start
getting traffic through their affiliate link.
7. If you pick a network like Clickbank they'll provide you
with details regarding which products sell better than
others. This is where many people make the mistake of
signing up for one of the top ten affiliate programs and try
to go out and market it. There's a reason why a product is
the highest selling product at the time, it's because
everyone is already promoting it. When there is a massive
amount of competition, it means that you'll sell less
product and make less money per sale. I've found that the
most lucrative programs to promote are the ones that are
several pages deep into Clickbank's catalog. The less
competition, the easier and quicker you'll start to see
sales. Clickbank is only one out of hundreds of affiliate
networks. You can search almost any store you can think
of along with the word "affiliate" and chances are they
8. Your opportunity to start making money on the Internet
immediately has never been easier. Affiliate programs
allow entrepreneurs to share in the profits of large
corporations and other web based businesses with little
effort. With the large amount of affiliate programs
available today, and the rapid growth of the Internet,
there has never been a better time to get involved in
online marketing.
