* Figure out how to "affiliate market"
* Find out what you may or may not be doing wrong.
Now, you may have stumbled across this site for some other reason, but I am here to talk about Affiliate marketing, and the secret to making it work.
Alright, first, let me start off by just explaining what Affiliate marketing actually is. In my blog post 3 secret ways to make money online, I talk a small amount about Affiliate marketing, what it is, and basically how it can earn you money. But, I did not go into great detail.
Affiliate marketing according to Wikipedia:
Affiliate marketing is a type of performance-based marketing in which a business rewards one or more affiliates for each visitor or customer brought about by the affiliate's own marketing efforts.
So what does that mean?
Well, an affiliate is someone who is associated with someone or some entity.
So, if are you an affiliate with a business, you are "in business with them."
So, you bring them customers, they make a sale, you get a percentage.
Most people, when thinking of affiliate marketing, call upon Amazon.com.
But, Amazon is not the ONLY program out there, there are hundreds, if not thousands of businesses offering affiliate programs.
Well, now that you have a pretty good idea of what affiliate, affiliate marketing mean. Lets talk about products!
Products!
This is where the "secret to affiliate marketing" comes into play.
If you were a business owner, and you are selling products, that no one wants to buy, you are not going to get very far. That is obvious.
So, you need to be very careful when choosing which products to promote. Any tablets, iphones, and electronics, are very popular, and will generally do well; however, everyone knows this, so you will have steeper competition.
So, what you need to do, is find something, that people are willing to buy, something that you yourself like, or can at least play up, talk about, make it seem interesting and irresistible.
Here is an example.
