Affiliate Programs
will help you succeed in earning money from your we b
site or blog if you know how to use them properly, it's teamwork at its finest and
joining them is 100% free. It's important for you to know what to focus on
"before" you join affiliate companies and what to do "after" you join them
to maximize the overall affiliate program profits from your web site or
blog.
You will however (and this
is a biggie) need
knowledge, motivation, and an investment of your time if you want to turn your
ho-hum zero
income web site into your personal online employee earning you money 24
hours a day, 7 days a week. When we're done with you you'll be able to
earn a nice "hands off" online income even while you're tweeting, facebooking, myspacing...
or watching TV.
This site is an inside look
into how Mr. and Mrs. average got started earning affiliate commissions
from basic general content web sites and how you can do the same. If you have the time to learn
- then we have the time to show you what you need to do to get started, or
what to do in order to increase your current income if you already have a web site or blog
out on
the Internet.

We'll cover the many free to
join affiliate companies and their affiliate programs, effective affiliate marketing
methods we've used over the years, what free hosting companies are
available so you can set up your free web site or blog, how you can
generate free web traffic and more...
Ultimately we'll show you what we did to earn a nice monthly income so you can do the same thing. If a
couple old geezers (we can
say that) like us can earn a nice monthly income through the combination
of a web site, affiliate companies, affiliate programs and visitor traffic
then you can do the same. We only discuss affiliate programs that work &
pay! |

Affiliate marketing is not
rocket science and it doesn't require some special "secret affiliate
handshake". Basically you have the traffic (or we'll show you how to
get it), an advertiser wants customers and the affiliate company
contains the marketing tools and back office interface that you'll
need to effectively market the advertisers wares to the Internet
masses. |

 As
an online affiliate marketer there's no "easy button" for you to push, however
our goal is to show you what to do, and just as importantly what NOT to do
in order to be a financially successful online affiliate marketer. It's
time for you to get out of the mindset that you're web site or blog is
simply a medium for you to entertain the people of the world for free, on
your time, because you don't know how to monetize it and make it
profitable. If you're going to be a
webmaster with a web site or blog, and you're going to put thousands of
hours into your online web creation, then by golly you ought to earn
something for your efforts.... money. |

You've already seen all the ads,
banners, Google Adsense, and those irritating pop-ups out there so you
already know that practically all sites and blogs are advertising something. OK,
and... and let's go ahead and get this out of the way... as you poke
around our site you'll see that we've got our wrinkly fingers in the ol'
Google Adsense advertising pie too. |

Web sites (even the Mom &
Pop types) that are advertising offers through affiliate networks or
affiliate programs are earning their owners
money, some sites are earning small amounts, extra spending
money, while others are earning thousands of dollars per day. Then of
course there's people like Margie and I, somewhere in the middle. We're not giving blood
and collecting aluminum cans to pay for our meds, yet we're not quite in
that beachfront behemoth of a Florida mansion either. Regardless
of the amount of money you earn from your web site all sounds the
same... Click-cha-ching. Money is changing hands many times
per second, of every minute, during all hours of every single day
and it just never stops. You can believe that it'll go on for as long as
well, there's an Internet, people on earth to surf it, and all those
human wants and needs that must be filled. |

I'm a
newbie, I want to get started: If you're a newbie to building free web
sites, generating free traffic or you're just not clear about affiliate
programs and how they can benefit you, then we will get
you schooled up easy enough. And remember this site is not the only source
for affiliate program or affiliate marketing information, it's just
a starting point for you. We'll tell you what we know, what has
worked for us and what has not worked but ultimately you'll need to
fine tune your knowledge through self education, and gain your own
experience by getting out there and doing it. Once you know what
affiliate marketing is all about then you can focus on your site
content, traffic generation, SEO (search engine optimization), and
more. We'll explain more about these things later, however for now
we recommend you start at the new to
affiliate marketing area.
I've
been online a while and want to
move forward: If you've been online a while with a site or blog and
you want to move up to the next level and monetize your web site.
We're going to pause here... you may have heard that term out there,
you know "monetize" which really means "converting some benefit
received in non-monetary form (your web site and traffic) and
turning it into a monetary payment (affiliate commissions). So
you're taking something of value and turning it into money, nice,
and you likely already do that daily... work at a regular jobs and
give up something of value (your time) to the company, and then they
give you money. You monetize yourself in your regular job, so why
not monetize your web site or blog? OK, just took my blood pressure
medicine and I'm back on track now. As someone with a web site or
blog something
you need is visitors since without them you effectively have no customers
and you can make no sales. For you we recommend you focus first in our free traffic area
to learn about content, SEO, traffic programs etc. Once you have a
good feel for how to bring them in, then you can focus on the second
phase which is providing them those things they need to solve their
problems, and you'll find those kinds of visitor solutions through
the many advertisers offers in the affiliate
company programs area.
I'm experienced,
but it's just not working, I'm going broke: So you've had a web site
or a blog for a couple years and you feel you've just been entertaining
the Internet masses for free and you haven't made a dime yet, we've been
there and have already earned our geriatric support t-shirts and we
understand. Or you've
somehow managed to spend down most of the children's college fund for
hosting, advertising, Google Adwords and every thing in between. If this
is you then you need to stop working so hard at losing money and get back
to the basics. It could be your content, traffic, lack of traffic, or
untargeted visitors, search engine optimization, the affiliate programs
you're currently with or any combination of those and more. I recommend
you scour this entire site (yes I know you're a Guru) until you determine
what it is that you're doing wrong, and then... don't do it anymore.
If by chance you are a
Webmaster that is intensely involved in compiling mailing lists,
emailing them with your newest amazing deal or money making program,
tweaking "squeeze pages", joining and then telling your list about
every PLR (private label rights) e-book that hits the streets then
you are truly working too hard competing with every other
Webmaster trying to sell the same product to the same group of
people. We cannot tell you or show you how to get a few hundred more
people to sign up on your list, or how to increase the response rate
to your list, and we cannot point out the hottest PLR happening
right now because we do not "actively" sell those products or use
those marketing methods. If you have a web site with content but
you're spending more then you make trying to get it off the ground,
then poke around this site to see if there's something we're doing
that will help you on your affiliate marketing journey. |

What we're going to show you is something that anyone with a web site or blog can do, we already
know it works... we've done it. We'll show you examples, some proof
to spice it up a bit and we'll also teach you what we've learned. More importantly
we hope what we share will motivate you to
get started today so you can earn from affiliate programs for the
many years to come. |

Earning an income from affiliate
companies doesn't take any special webmaster or marketing skills
and if you already have a blog or web site then you're half way
there. If you don't currently have a web site or blog that's OK too
as I'll get you pointed in the right direction so you can set-up
your blog free, or even build your own web site for free. |
|
|
Making money from your web site also does not require over-priced
software and you will NOT buy anything from this site. You'll
benefit directly from our years of
online affiliate experience, and you'll save time and money in the long run.
We've already made the affiliate mistakes along the way so you don't have to. |

If you're unfamiliar with affiliate marketing or companies
and how they can help you earn an income from
your site or blog then
I highly recommend you read the "Affiliates 101"
section first. This section will tell you all about affiliate
marketing and companies, how they can can generate income for you,
and I've saved the best for last... what methods you should use to
maximize your income right now, and also increase your affiliate
income in the future.

If you already know about affiliate marketing then all you
really need now are some professional and high quality affiliate
management companies to join so the "Affiliate
Companies" list area is for you. Any affiliate company you ever
join should be 100% free (no fee), they should provide you with a
large selection of advertiser links & banners for your particular
targeted market, and lastly they should have a proven record of
on-time payouts to the Publishers (web or blog owners). Affiliate
companies are no different then anything else in life, you want and
deserve 'value".
