Affiliate Marketing Course
There is a lot of money to be made through affiliate marketing, and on some affiliate programs, the affiliates are actually making more money through commission then the merchant is making overall through the sale. Click Here for The Best Guide to Make Money Online (Maverick Money Makers)The first thing you need to do is understand in this affiliate marketing course is what affiliate marketing is: The top and bottom of it is “selling other peoples stuff” this is commonly referred to as the acronym SOPS. What happens is a merchant will allow you to become an affiliate if you own your own website (blog site in some cases). The merchant will then give you (the affiliate) an affiliate link to put on your website, in which case if someone clicks to view the merchants website through this link and consequently purchases a product you will get paid a commission (which varies on each product). The Merchant could be selling physical goods (Amazon), digital goods (guides, eBooks, etc), Memberships (dating websites), this list could go on. If you are just starting out, in fact even if you are fairly advanced I would recommend selling digital products; this is because the commission on these products is that much better. This is due to the fact that the overheads are so much lower because everything is automated apart from the content. The way this works out for the merchant is that it basically gets good advertising, they will tend to get a lot more sales due to the fact that affiliates are actually doing their market research for them. If there are 20 affiliates promoting 1 product you can bet that they are all doing something different to utilize their affiliate link therefore making the merchant 20 times more likely to make a sale. The question i always get asked in my affiliate marketing course is how much is this going to cost to set up? Well to be honest you can do this for free using a wordpress blog, having said that you probably won’t get very good sales doing this. I would have to recommend buying your own domain and even if you have no clue about internet websites you can install wordpress onto your webpage. Doing this just means that it looks a lot more professional and more people are likely to stick around and read the content of your website, it can also speed up the time taken to progress up the Google page rankings (meaning more traffic to your website). It is possible to buy a .com domain for roughly $10, I tend to buy my own domains from “GoDaddy”. If you do go down the route of buying your own domain, you will also need to purchase “hosting”. Hosting is somewhere that you can park your domain, you are buying some web space (to put it in real life context: when you park your car in a public car park, many of these charge an amount for certain times you are paying for a space for that allotted time). I tend to use “HostGator” their pricing is extremely reasonable ranging from roughly $5 p/m (not a great deal for the return in affiliate marketing you could be making).
