When you first get started online, you read a lot of info
about how to make money online. I know I did. But I didn't
feel like what I read had a direct impact on what I was
going to be able to do to make money. Either the
information was a little vague--find a product, or make a
product (what do you make or find when you are just getting
started, right?), and then advertise it. Just drive traffic
to your site.
So I did just that. I wrote a book. I sent traffic to my
site. All kinds of traffic--most worthless, some good. But I
didn't make much money. I tracked the traffic, I tested it,
I tested response rates--and I hung in there far longer than
I think that the average person that wants to make money
online does.
Then I discovered affiliate marketing. Affiliate marketing
is where you simply promote another person's product and
they pay you a commission. Of course I studied that too,
and saw that there are cons to affiliate marketing.
Sometimes you don't get paid your commissions. And you
don't have as much control over your sales page as with
your own site.
But, I looked at the pros, too. These affiliate products
already have sales pages (boy, my first sales page was a
disaster), they have been tested to convert, and you don't
have to do any of the backend work like customer service
and deal with PayPal or credit cards.
So I decided to test several different affiliate programs,
sending them all traffic, and seeing which ones converted
and sold and then paid me. And I am making money with
affiliate programs. Case closed.
So how do I do it?
1) I set up a website that offers a free ebook (which is
loaded with affiliate links) and an Ecourse that is mailed
everyday. On the web site I put a web form that collects
the visitors name and email address and sends it to my
autoresponder (step 2).
2) I set up an autoresponder and wrote a series of letters
that teaches people how to make money online-in plain
English, and simply, easy-to-follow steps.
3) In the letters I recommend a series of products that
will help them learn the skills to become successful
online.
4) When my subscribers purchase products from my ebook or
my series of Ecourse lessons, I receive a commission.
5) I write articles just like this one, post them on sites
just like the one you are reading this from, and watch the
traffic come in.
As simple as it may sound, that is precisely what I do. I
know that you can duplicate what I do, and if you do, you
will make money.
