Learn Affiliate Marketing

I am willing to do whatever it takes to make an income, I am imprisoned at home with a baby and an abusive husband, there is absolutely no way I can go out to work right now, the only thing I have access on is a computer. Is affiliate marketing real? Should I spend time on it?

Hey Tiger,

Sorry to hear about your abusive husband and current situation. I myself am imprisoned (in a different way) – can’t find "normal" 9 to 5 work, and was turned onto internet marketing years ago.

Like you, I first thought it was a scam and too good to be true. That’s because of all the hype that these marketers do…$1,000 in 24/hrs! How I made $1,267,313 in one year from affiliate marketing on Clickbank!

Certainly, those things DO happen, but they are not typical and cannot be expected. So you need to first sort reality from fantasy.

Here’s the fantasy: Work just a couple hours a day, clicking a few buttons, and within one week, you’ll have reach job-quitting status income.

Here’s reality: affiliate marketing and Clickbank ARE REAL, but it’s not a get rich quick scheme. You have to pour in hours of work each day, especially as a beginner when you’re first learning it. It took me almost 3 months to make my first few sales. I probably worked 200+ hours to make those first few sales ($150 total). But I was new, and didn’t know what I was doing.

Is 200 hrs worth $150? Of course not, but that wasn’t what I gained out of it. I gained the experience and knowledge, so my next sites would be 100x easier and faster, and even more profitable.

So let me explain how affiliate marketing and Clickbank work for real.

Clickbank is an affiliate network, where people who have created their own products to sell submit their product (called an offer) to the network. Then affiliates search through all the available offers on Clickbank, choose one they like and seems promising. They go out and promote the chosen product via websites, ads, etc. and if someone buys the product through the affiliate’s link/site, the affiliate will earn a commission, a cut of the total sale price.

Different products/vendors offer different commission rates, up to 75%. So if you sell a product for $100, you can make anywhere from $50-75. Well, Clickbank also takes a small percentage fee too, so maybe a little less than that.

The hard work comes from learning how to promote these products well. If you’re not careful, you can lose a lot of money. Many beginners are scared to invest money upfront, so they go the free route of SEO (search engine optimization), the art of getting your website to show up in the first page of Google when someone searches for a term (called a keyword).

There are many other methods of promotion, each with their pros and cons.

This blog post explains what those various methods are, including the pros and cons of each:

Again, I’ll repeat, affiliate marketing IS NOT easy get rich quick. But it IS convenient and anyone can do it from home with an internet connection. It takes dedication, but the rewards are tremendous: freedom of finances, freedom of time (after you’ve learned to automate the workflow), freedom from stress.

I would like to start a travel agency and I don’t know if I need a certain affiliate marketing program for a travel agency?
Thanks!
I live in Australia!

If your looking to get an army of affiliates to promote your agency and offer you should look into this network. I am an affiliate marketer and i have seen great results with this network!

I hope this helps, Money!

I am a recent college grad, looking for a job. Since the market doesn’t look to promising at the moment, do you think it would be a good idea for me to focus on getting my CPA? Would it be easier for me to get a job if I get the license? I have a good GPA of 3.75 from a decent catholic university and did two internships, but still have a feeling that it will be a long time before I land my first job. What should I do?

Here is my $0.02
Here in the Boston area, employers have become quite selective. The recruiter in a "big 4"firm has 3 piles they make while going thru a stack of resumes. First pile are those with good GPAs, and 150 hours and/or having passed the CPA exam. Second pile are those with "just" an outstanding GPA. third pile is everyone else.
After you do your soul searching there, then you have to get your CPA done. find a State where you want to live&work in, where you meet the requirement for sitting for the exam and get to it. Chose a CPA review that you are confident will help you pass the 1st time. Time is money, so focus on VALUE
Good luck

I have have noted that earning income using affiliate marketing programs takes time as it is not easy to rank high quickly on search engines. The fast methods seem to be expensive.

Hi There
I have been involved in the internet affiliate marketing business for several years now. Please believe me when I say there are no quick ways to build lists or attract new affiliates. It takes time and perseverance. It can be very frustrating at times. I have spent hours and hours trying to promote different affiliate programs and attract new affiliates. The biggest disappointments are after working hard to attract new affiliates is to find that only about 5% of them are willing to work at the particular program. The other 95% just sit back and wait for you to do the work for them. If the particular program requires that they have to pay a fee then your recruiting efforts are mostly for naught.
The people that make big bucks in the affiliate marketing business are those that invest large amounts of money in advertising and pay per click marketing. All these hypes that we see everyday about joining super list building programs, video courses, fantastic affiliate programs and all the other tremendous offers is just to get our money. They expect people like us to invest in these programs and fail. After failing most of us move onto another program that looks unbelievable and fail again. That’s how THEY make their big bucks.
I am not saying that you cannot make money with affiliate marketing. There are some good programs out there that will work for the right people with the right skills and who are willing to invest the time and money. I will keep trying though. Recently I have gotten interested in the social networking aspect of the internet marketing. Namely Twitter. Twitter is quick, easy and fun place to meet and exchange information and ideas and you can actually make a few bucks.
I have searched out some great tools and Ebooks that can help attract interested followers! Most of them are free.
For example Social Oomph, http://www.socialoomphblog.com/ ,Tweet Spinner https://tweetspinner.com , Twitter Karma, http://dossy.org/twitter/karma/ , Hoot Suite http://hootsuite.com/ just mention a few, are all great programs for attracting followers who are interested in your particular niche.
There are also some great eBooks available to help you, such as My Twitter Tool Box with 350 twitter tools (most of them free)at http://mytwittertoolbox.tk/ or Twitter for Internet Marketers at http://twitterforinternetmarketers.tk plus much more at http://moretwitterinfo.tk/

I wish you great success in whatever your endeavors might be.

I’ve been seeing things online about affiliate marketing. I was wondering if it is still in? Is it easy money?
What does it take to start? What about surveys?

For example, TradeDoubler is probably the biggest in Belgium and some other European countries. I’d like to know what the TradeDoubler of Brazil is as well as its leading competitors in Brazil.

I can’t say I know for SURE whether or not these companies operate in Brazil, but it’s worth a check, they are all very good:

ClickBank (for digital products)
MarketHealth (for health and wellness products)
NeverBlue (for freebies and downloadables)
ROI Rocket (for general products, they also have good zip/email submits)

Give those a look. They’re my personal favorites.
