Affiliate Marketing Secrets

I work at home as a full-time internet marketer. I’m an affiliate, so I sell a lot of different products, but among them is a program that I absolutely love. I am not dependent on sales of this program in order to make my living, but it’s got great residual income potential, so I’ve been working on it for a while now, and I’m having trouble connecting I suppose. So I’m curious about people’s opinions.
This is not an MLM – is is for internet marketing education. You can learn almost anything – affiliate marketing, website development, keyword research,SEO, etc, but I’m having a little trouble competing with all the “Make $1,000 a day!” ads. I know the work at home niche is very competitive, but I get a lot of traffic to my sites, and I offer real information – not a scam “system.” So I would think people appreciate my honesty and candor. However I’ve been told I need to completely rewrite things before because they were considered too “negative” (which I take to mean honest – I give people the good the bad and the ugly about this industry.
So I want some real people’s opinions out there. What do you think holds people back from trying to start their own online businesses? Is it fear of failure? Is it skepticism?
And secondly, do you think people are right about having to pump up your claims in order to get sales? Personally I like a straght-forward person, but maybe I’m not the typical consumer?

Well recently ive been unemployed, and i’m looking for ways to make enough money online to pay my bills. I don’t need much around 20-25 dollars every day for 7 days a weak. I don’t mind putting in 4-6 hours a day to reach this. And for the ones that say it’s impossible, textbroker.com and slicethepie.com have already made me around 20 dollars a day, although it takes around 10-11 hours of work.
Any way i have been considering starting a blog or something, the problem is i don’t really know where to start.
the niche that i enjoy, since i know i would have to write about something that i enjoy
Gaming ( mainly MMORPGs and such )
And Computer support. I enjoy helping people fix a computer problem and so on
The other would be just off the wall stuff like geekologie.com
The thing with computer repair is i have many year experience in it, it’s just finding a job around my home town is almost impossible in this field.
Okay, so i’m not sure how to focus a blog on computer repair, or mmorpgs. The only ideas i can come up with are for a computer repair it would have to be almost like a forum, you ask a question i give you answers but those are a dime a dozen right now. Mmorpgs i can only think of doing websites similar to onrpg.com or mmohut.com but again thats not really a blog. So i don’t really know how to do a blog about the subjects.
Also due to my financial situation right now it would be best if i didnt’ have to purchase a web domain or hosting as right now i don’t have the money. Of course i wouldn’t mind using a place like weebly.com and starting the blog there, and when i get the moeny moving it to my own domain. And just posting ont he weebly site where the new site is located. But any way, i’m wanting to start building a residual income. I don’t care if it’s starting at 10-20 dollars a month, i can learn to make it grow and multiply. And as for the people who like to say it’s impossible shut up i’ve been making money online, albeit the hard way, i’ve done it.

I was under the assumption that blogging on random topics just to hear others’ opinions who read it will help me make money but I think I had this whole thing wrong. Correct me if I am wrong but there are 2 types of bloggers 1. the ones who just blog to get their opinions out and voices heard and have no intentions of making money and those who want to make money and will only blog related to products they are advertising as affiliates to earn some residual income. So the latter would be the right way to go to make money not the first where you are just posting to make a stand on a subject matter since there is no product you can promote related to your random topic discussion….am i right

I’m interested in building a hobbyist website (not a blog though) and hoping to create some residual income from affiliate advertising. I know some HTML.

The general impression most people have is that an affiliate program is illegal or mere pyramid schemes and hence scared of joining one. Do not get associated with such schemes. Go with a program that offers high quality product that you will readily endorse. The growing number of those who have already joined and are succeeding well is proof enough that there are reliable and quality affiliate programs.

Benefits of an affiliate program are –

– You can work part-time.
– It is an opportunity to build a residual income.
– You have the ownership of having your own business.

Affiliate programs have already generated lot of income for many people.

When you decide to join an affiliate program, you must take note that you are getting into something that is best suited for you and one that you are capable of.

When choosing a good program follow these tips:

1. Join a program that has a product that you yourself are interested in or maybe purchase it yourself. That will give you confidence and the motivation to take it forward.

2. Join those programs that offer real and viable products. A little research will do some help. Read testimonials of the members or customers to understand the credibility of the program.

3. Look for a program that is of high quality. A program associated with many experts in that particular industry will stand proof of the standard of the program you will be joining.

4. Choose a program with a compensation plan that pays out a residual income and a payout of 30% or more. Ignore programs that do not reward substantially for your efforts.

5. Go to forums and discussions to get good and reliable feed backs. Make inquiries and look for programs that caters to a growing market. Here there will be more demands.

6. Read the fine prints. There will some quotas that you must fulfill or sales target that is too hard to achieve.

7. Not all affiliate programs have tools and resources that can help you grow the business. Choose the one that provides all these.

8. Finally gather enough knowledge about the affiliate program you will be promoting.
