Ever since i started this website i have received numerous emails asking me why don’t i write something about affiliate marketing. Well today I start a whole new category on the affiliate marketing topic. In this post i will tell some things that could help you decide if affiliate marketing is for you or not.
Affiliate marketing can make you loads of money. Everywhere you can see ads for things teaching you how to make $4000/week. It’s all affiliate marketing. But the thing they aren’t telling you is…
Affiliate marketing costs a lot. If you buy a $40 ebook that tells you how to make money you will need some $4000 to implement what you have read there. Affiliate marketing isn’t cheap - lots and lots of money spent on advertising. But even so, besides advertising money you also must have…
Good selling skills. Because this is what affiliate marketing is all about, selling a product (that is not your own). Products don’t sell by themselves. And selling something requires…
Research. All aspects of research. Starting off with the most important, finding a good affiliate program. After you found that you do some research about the potential buyers and about the competition. And if you don’t do this research you cannot write…
A good presell page. This is where you tell the buyer about the benefits of the product you are selling and why it is better than the competition’s.
Now if you think you can do all this then you are ready for some affiliate marketing. But if you think that just placing a banner (of the product) on your site is going to help you make money then you are wrong (maybe if you have like 20.000 visitors/day, maybe then you will be able to sell something just by placing a banner - but i bet you can’t earn more than $300/month this way).
Affiliate marketing can be a gold mine (that is how i get most of my internet money) if you have the right mining equipment. But if you don’t - you will just stand there, waiting, getting nothing. Like most wannabe affiliates do.
If there is something about affiliate marketing you would like to know, all you have to do is ask me. Send me an email or leave a comment. And why not subscribe to my daily feed? It’s free, you know.
