The truth about money making opportunities online Affiliate Marketing |
| The three types of affiliate marketing are: Pay Per Click - Whenever a customer leaves the affiliate website by "clicking" on the link leading to the merchant's website, a certain amount of money is deposited in the affiliates account. The amount can vary from a few cents to dollars, depending on the product and amount of the commission. The most well known pay per click source for webmasters is Google Adsense. Pay Per Sale - This works in a similar way but you don't get paid by a visitor clicking on a link. They must complete some type of transaction on the site they arrive at. Usually this will be some kind of product to purchase. You would then receive a percentage, or commission. Some examples of affiliate marketing sites that use this method are Commission Junction and The Link Share Network Pay Per Lead - Each time a customer registers at the merchant's website after clicking on an advertisement on the affiliates website, a certain amount is paid to the affiliate. You can find these kinds of advertisers at the same links I gave you in the previous categories All three of these methods are great way to earn some extra money without actually having to be hands on every day. All it involves is placing an ad on the affiliates website. There's no selling, nothing to ship or promotion, although you can promote your site. The key is to get traffic. Once you have steady traffic on your site the clicks will come. At that point you can truly sit back and cash the checks when they come. All in all affiliate marketing is one of the best ways to earn money online. If this is something you would like to try, you'd be well advised to do your homework. The links I gave you above are reputable companies, and I am sure there are more. But as with anything involving money research and be careful. After that, there's not much else to do except wait for those checks to start coming. More ways to make money online How to get Traffic to your site More on the next page @copyright 2008 |
