Affiliates Where do
I Start?
The Hype! Is
Any of It True?
No! You don't need to build traps or boxes
or hold up your customers, who all have the potential to be repeat customers or word
of mouth advertisement for you and your sites. The two more birds in the bush we all strive
to get. Going after them, can truly make us lose the birds in our hands. By getting the
quick buck or the fast flip. You can get visitors this way, but you hurt your
self and no one else, but those whom you promote, in the long run.
The hype comes from these Pyramid
builders and story tellers, the so called Guru's
who have a secrete! Which they now know, and it makes them millions and they want to give
now some thing back to you, because life is so good for them now. Hog washers they do this only because it feeds the beast,
who never stops hungering for more.
Making Money
With Affiliate Marketing is It Possible?
Yes Virginia, there is a Santa Clause, and he sells stuff every day and needs help
doing it!
Making money with affiliate marketing, is one of the more easier ways of earning. The rewards are an endless, there are open possibilities of career opportunities, that are open to virtually everyone. This is!
What is so good about this business? Its availability to everyone.
Well it is that anyone can join and make their way up the ladder to success.
Affiliate marketing has been known to be cost-efficient,
an easy method of turning some of your time into money, and with long-term results
already seen and proven. In fact, you can start even with little to no money invested into
it, or not even owning a computer of your own.
And with one or several of these affiliate marketing accounts working properly, you
too can have the benefit of working from home/and or from your local Library or an inter-net
coffee house or even Club Med. Enjoying the
freedom and flexibility of working for yourself.
I do however strongly suggest once you make some profits you get a high end
well trusted Laptop with several connection options and at least three browsers and
at least two operating systems installed on it! Also with a top end virus protection program.
Something to plan for.
But, there are some people who fail in this kind of business. It could
be because they lack knowledge and/or their not willing to put in the initial amount of time required to get it up and running
and keep it up and running. There is tons of reading involved. If you are a Website
owner and you want to become an Affiliate Marketing Business Site, you should know
you must choose wisely and where you must go to get these good affiliate programs.
How do I become a Super Affiliate?
Clickbank.com is an ideal place to start.
Here, you can find one of the largest affiliate marketing programs in the industry. You just need
to visit their site, sign up and start reading. Then all you do is choose and promote the products and services that perfectly fit you and your site and your interests. These products are typically ranked according to their
type and/ or service along with their popularity.
Clickbank
is one of the affiliate Net-workers, that will serve as the
necessary “Middle Man” The Go Between Guys much like Google.
They
put Web merchants and their associated affiliates together to gain Customers. They are responsible in providing the technology
to deliver the merchant's products along with their descriptions and the reporting of their sells and profits from these
sells and commissions etc. etc.
They also do the
job of collecting and storing all of this massive amounts of information. From the merchants and customers giving the proper
payment of commissions to the correct affiliates involved in their particular campaigns and/or programs.
Clickbank provides you a large and ever
increasing network of publishers or affiliates to tap into. To be more specific, Clickbank has more than 100,000 affiliates who are experts in finding potential customers for your affiliate program. The reason more
and more affiliates are joining Clickbank every day is obvious – the process
of gaining commissions in this network is fair and transparent, plus they by far offer
the largest sharing of commission sales percentages up to 75%.
For web merchants, who wish to join Clickbank.
Joining is very easy to do. You just need to sign up! Their
site is free to affiliates and there is a nominal one time charge for Vendors or Sellers
of Products and Services.
Then you allow them to sell your products through their affiliates. You keep up your promotional web site, that gives
your potential customers detailed information about your offered product or services.
At your website, you must also maintain a comprehensive
technical support page(s) for your product. ie. a shopping Cart and info on how to
pay, what to pay, when and to whom to pay returns and Guarantees etc. etc.
In return, Clickbank will promote and sell your product take a percentage from you and
the affiliate, give your customers a guarantee of some sorts, for your product, allow their affiliates to pass on traffic
to your web site, enable you to encourage more new affiliates, to advertise your Website and its products, furnish real-time
sales reporting for you and the affiliates and send you and all the affiliates a pay check twice a month.
Sounds easy and It is, after you Just Do
It! (JDI) a while. Real time learning, get some hands on experience, get them a little dirty, the risk for you is minimal, and they help you every step of the way, because
it pays them to do so.
So what are you sitting there for? Get busy!
When you finally decide to do some thing,
become a Clickbank affiliate, you surely won't find it hard to promote these products. They maintain them for you. You
will need a Clickbank account, and a tax number or Social Security number etc. etc.
A bank and an account for direct deposit, would be nice, I am not sure if it is needed, they may
send out checks still, I can't remember just now. I have not been to my account for a while, because I am building a learning Website and a traffic wheel, so I am socializing a lot to build these Hubs up.
Then you'll need to decide if your
just going to sell or promote others or yourself or both. When, you are ready and have a Clickbank Username, you are
then free to choose whatever marketing tools you want to use from within and without Clickbank, to bring in more clicks and
generate more sales for your products and/or someone else's products. Always read the
terms of use Documents! ALWAYS!
This
is how simple it is to join Clickbank. But being a Clickbank Super Affiliate is no
minor achievement. It means you should learn and keep learning, as to keep and possess the ability to sell lots of affiliate
products. From other Company's besides Clickbank. You'll also need to have
expertise, which you will gain over time by using Clickbank.
In these other fields of web marketing. Search Engine Optimization,or SEO,
Email Marketing, Newsletter Marketing, Reciprocal Linkage, Link Exchanges, and other methods of promoting your merchant's
goods and services. And others and their products as well, but here you don't work as hard. Not as much or as hard here
within Clickbank, because they will be doing this along with you and the other sellers and affiliates of these products and
services also. A team effort, kind of. And a rather Large and Growing team it is becoming.
