Make Money Online With Affiliate Products
by: Mahesh S Mhatre
To make money online you do not need to have a website. You will just need a few good products – affiliates that you promote and are paid for promoting them.
· Choose the Best Affiliate Product
You must have heard about commissions that people earn when they sell a product of a specific brand. What we are going to do is similar in context only our product will be Internet based. Digital products are the high value products that generate much higher commissions that any other products. Electronic books or e-books and most Internet software's today are classified as digital products as they can be directly downloaded after purchase."CommissionJunction.com" and "ClickBank.com" are some of the websites that offer such services.
You get an unique affiliate link which has your reference ID as soon as you sign up for a product that you find interesting. The reference id on the affiliate link will allow the commissions on each sale to be tracked correctly and assigned to you.
· Go one step ahead and make your affiliate link look Genuine by buying a Domain name (.com)
Get a domain name to redirect/forward to your affiliate link. You can easily register a domain name at a very cheap price ($7.99). So when someone types in your .com or domain name in their browser, it will go to your affiliate link. The visitor will obviously see the website with the product that you promote, and the commissions will be tracked correctly.
An affiliate link looks very weird eg. “affiliatedoman.com/product?refid=mmha” as compared to the domain name which you will be registering. For eg: If you are selling a digital camera photo software like photolightning then your domain name can be something like “photosoftwaresale.com” etc.
A domain name masks the affiliate link look like it's your own website. Therefore you have a website for free
as well as a product to promote with large commissions to earn.
· The winning formula: Higher Traffic = Higher Sales
If you are a good writer then write an article promoting your product and a link at the bottom to your website. Articles are the best ways to spread the word about your product and also generate traffic. If you are not a good writer get an article written from some freelancer.
In order to make high commissions from your sales, you need to get traffic to your website and thus the affiliate website. Start an advertising campaign, make sure you don't spend more than you earn. Make a definite plan of action about the amount of money you will be spending on advertising.
There are many article directories and websites which will readily publish your article for free with your links. You will be generating money without spending a dime on advertising if you follow this method. This strategy is simple if you have a good article people will read your article, if they like what you describe they will click your link to buy the product, generating commissions for you. Repeat this step for other products and you will definitely be earning money in a few months and all this without a website.
