Yes!
Affiliate Marketing provides a way for even beginners to
make money online that is completely free. Free, in this case means that you need:
- No Website/Domain
- No List
- No Product of your own
- No cash to start
Become an Affiliate at ClickBank or One of the other CPA Networks
ClickBank is one of the best known sites, on the web, to find digital products for promotion. Once you are registered at ClickBank, do the following:
- Choose A Category/Niche that you are interested in
- Check that the top 3 offerings in that niche have "grav" of 100% or higher
- Offerings that have a "grav" of 100% or higher are the best sellers (also very competitive)
- Comparable Products with "grav" of less than 100% may also sell very well (much less competitive)
- Select Offerings that pay no less than $20USD commission
Begin to promote your ClickBank products. E-mail Marketing and Article Marketing are two of the great ways to promote affiliate offerings. The reason for this is that the major search engines may place limits on what
Affiliate Products you can advertise on their search engines. However, done right, E-mail and Article marketing may prove to be a goldmine for you. Do not underestimate the power of E-mail and Article Marketing!
What are CPA Networks? These are networks that "pay per action" not just sales. This means that you may get paid when a unique visitor click on your a ad and submits a zipcode. For example, you may be paid $2.50 for a zipcode and that spells $2,500 if you get 1,000 clicks per week.
Note: Some CPA Networks require that you have a website when you join, so you may be limited to the ones that do not have such requirement.
Write and Publish Articles about the
affiliate product(s) you have selected to promote. Article marketing is one of the oldest and best ways to drive FREE Traffic to your offering. There are lots of
free article directories that will allow you to post good quality articles. You may even hire a ghost-writer to write your articles for you.
Promote your ClickBank affiliate link(s) on Facebook.com, Twitter.com and free classifieds. Once you are making money, you may want to try Google Adwords.
Remember: No Website can survive without Traffic.
Traffic = $$$ It is that simple. So, Learn all you can about free traffic.
Do not be fooled by Claims of overnight riches. However, with some smart marketing and promoting, being
an Affiliate Marketer can provide steady income. The key to doing all this is to target
high-traffic keywords and optimize your blog and articles for these high-traffic keywords.
Note: Once set up, this is literally make money while you sleep. However, be patient, this too is not a get-rich-quick scheme.
So, go ahead, see if Affiliate Marketing is for you!
