Starting an Online Business - Affiliate
Programs Make it Easy!
by: Kacey Chavez
If you have been longing to start a business onlineyou
may be coming across terms you've never heard before.
You may also have found the opportunities available are
overwhelming. Where do you begin?
AFFILIATE PROGRAMS - EASY START
Affiliate programs may be the easiest online business
to start running. Why?
With any online business you must have a product or service
to sell. First you must create this product or service
and then you must be able to fill orders.
Selling your own product or service also means creating
a website, learning how to write ad copy, setting up a
marketing plan, being able to accept payments online and
obviously doing the work. If you're selling a physical
product then you will need to make or buy the item, package
it and pay for shipping costs. If you provide a service
than you will likely have to start by doing free jobs
to build your credibility and then when you are charging
for your service you are still limited by how much work
you can actually handle.
THE MAGIC OF AFFILIATE PROGRAMS
Affiliate programs are a great way to get started in an
online business. In fact there are even some 'Super Affiliates'
who are making fabulous incomes from affiliate programs.
So, what ARE affiliate programs?
Affiliate programs allow you to sell another company's
service or product and make a commission on every sale
or lead. You do not even need to build a website or handle
the transaction. Your job is to drive traffic (customers)
to your affiliate link.
An affiliate link is a special URL code that will identify
customers coming to the company's site from your advertising.
It will likely be the website address with a code attached
to the end.
Some affiliate programs also have tiers. That means if
someone who is interested in SELLING the product comes
through your link and signs up you will also get a small
percentage of THEIR earnings.
HOW DO I CHOOSE A PROGRAM?
You should research the popularity of some of your interests.
Try to determine if people are buying that product or
service online. There are many sources for finding that
information including free ones such as the Overture keyword
tool.
When you have found an area that is popular then type
the subject along with 'affiliate program' into your search
engine and see which programs have services or products
for that area. You can also use an affiliate program directory.
When you have found a program that looks interesting you
should read the terms of the program. Make sure that payouts
are not based on a high commission earning or you may
never see your money. Also try to choose programs with
high commission rates. Often you will find ebooks and
downloadable software has the highest rates as there is
no physical product to make or ship. If you are satisfied
with the terms then you need to sign up - usually a simple
process.
START MARKETING
The reason affiliate programs are so great for beginners
is that you only need to focus on marketing - not making
- your product.
Many affiliate programs have information on how to market
and give you tools such as banners, product feeds and
more. You can also look for other information on marketing
including writing articles, creating pay-per-click campaigns,
commenting in online forums etc. As you gain experience
marketing you will make adjustments to your selling and
start creating a wonderful income!
