How to Make Money Promoting Affiliate Programs

Hi Reed hope your little bundle arrives soon!!

I have a quistion about affilates websites

Is it easier to design your own blank website and fill it with various affilate links? or make the affilate links specisfic to your interests this i would of thought is the better option has you will have a passion for the affilate product your selling

Also with owning s few differnt type affilate websites i would presume this would create multiple income streams?

lastly can you reccomend any affilate programs?
regards DAVE

Another thing to be concerned about is how long your affiliate code will be “cookied” to a buyer. Sometimes if they are in a continuation program your commissions will stop after three months or a year, and it’s because the cookie is set to expire and your commissions will be lost from that point on.

Dear Reed:

Our country is in a financial turmoil because Americans are simply
ignorant about money. They have been led to believe that bank credit
is money. It is not. You cannot weigh it. You cannot establish a value on it and it is purely an I.O.U. It therefore counterfeit. Look at an ordinary bill and see if it promises anything. A bill must be a lawful document It should tell you who issued it (US), what does it pay in Lawful money, how much to pay, when (0n demand) and to whom (bearer).

Does your bills say any of that? No, that’s why it is counterfeit! Would you sell your carof receive your paycheck for an I.O.U.? That’s what we are all doing today. Bottomline. Our real money has been stolen from us and replaced with bank credit which based on nothing.

I will give you my solution to our problem later when I build my website. I want to teach all Americans about financial literacy. That a job and present educatioanal system is outdated and obsolete.

Americans need to learn how to have money make money for them. That all stocks, bonds, options, derivatives, commodities are speculative. Meaning you have to sell such investments at a higher price than what you paid for it to profit. More later. Ted Alexander.

@Liz Nichols…I did not know that Liz. I have a couple of affiliate programs I run, you know the type with free downloads, etc. I promote them mainly in safelist environments, however, the bulk of my online income derives from CPA programs. I don’t put too much stock in some of those guys–heard too many bad stories.

In reply to Liz Nichols,
I think that this is one of many draws that go hand in hand with the sales pitch and is something i take with a pinch of salt.
One of the major improvements boasted by both the new Internet Explorer 8 and Google’s Chrome browser is the new privacy protections put in place.
It’s no secret that the new wave of browsers that are present just now have far more sophisticated cookie blocking capabilities along with firewalls. If you look at some of the claims that cookies remain on people’s hard drive for up to 3 months or more you have to ask yourself is this the case.

I myself have my browser set to clear cookies after each session.

Hi Reed,

You are making a good point here.

Affiliate marketing is the way to go for those that are just starting out and need to learn how this works.

There are lot of benefits but the most important one is that you risk nothing… You can even use free traffic sources to test the program to see if it makes you money.

Thanks,

I’ve been selling my own products and just got set up in Click Bank. I’ve been using the 7 Dollar script to get affiliates.

If anyone here has had good or bad experiences with Clickbank (as a publisher), please let me know.

Clickbank is great affiliate network, but there are some good in-house affiliate programs as well. I like when I’m provided with various promo materials… and it’s very important to receive a good support by the company.

Affiliate marketing has been and always will be the quickest way to make money. I do my homework ( yuk ); amount of commission? reputation? How is the programs sales page? does it “ring?”, if not I re-write it. Banners I do mostly myself. Cookies will expire so contact the company or person before hand and have them re-set the cookies.
“Kensilver”, I market “green” cleaning supplies from SFI. I have one page sites for other products from SFI and basically use SFI as an affiliate program. Word of caution..watch out for their “terms of use”
Lastly, forget the “shot-gun” approach. One, one page site for each affiliate program will work better and don’t forget to get your visitor’s name and e-mail address.
“Remember” treat it as a hobby and you will make money. Treat it as a business and you will soon have “your” own.

Hi Reed,
This is great reading. I am just starting and I am going with affiliate programs until I get more knowledge about marketing my own products.
I hope your new addition arrives soon. Have a great day and thanks.

Thanks for this. As I come from an online ad agency background I have always used third party networks like DGM, great if you are UK and Europe based.http://www.dgm-uk.com/index.php/dgmaffiliates

Then moving clientside into the heavily populated high incoming affiliate earning world of eGaming, there are a heap of excellent inhouse programs that gaming companies developed as well as third parties.

If anyone is in Gaming I recommend Canaffco

Good luck with the baby Reed

Dear Sponsor! I do not know, that it is necessary to make to receive
Money, so necessary for me!!!!?? ON a card a zero!!!????

how can i earn money without pay a member ship or buy a product, example: pay per click or pay per lead.

To answer dave smith … NO its not good to take a blank page and fill it with affiliate links, the search engines hate these types of sites and there is a good chance you won’t make a dime. You are better off building a site or blog on a particular subject and adding a few ads here and there that are relevant to your site content, this works well and has worked for me for years.

I think your tip about tracking your stats is crucial. A lot of people do not track their stats because they are lazy, but it is really one of the most important parts of marketing online. If you don’t know what’s working and what isn’t, then you won’t know what to scale and what to throw away, and you will make far less then your potential, if you make anything at all.

That is a good article. What are the affiliate programs you recommend? I know it depends on the niche, but I mean more like what service? I have been using commission junction. They are pretty good I guess.

Very true, there is a lot of money to made as an affiliate. I truly believe that as an affiliate, pushing a product you actually use and like, will give you a huge advantage over those pushing products they really have no knowlegde of.
