Many people want to make money online. But dont know how to make a website. They can start with Affiliate marketing. In Affiliate Marketing you dont need a product or website of your own. You can join many Affiliate Programs online. Clickbank and Commission Junction are two popular affiliate programs.
When you sell a product, the program gives you commission for each sale. You can promote the product by advertising the merchants website. This is one of the easiest ways to make money online and this method is known as Direct Linking.
The affiliate program will provide you with a unique link for each product listed on it. When you will advertise that link, people are going to visit the merchants website. If someone likes the product, a sale will be made. Each sale means a fixed percentage as a commission for you.
The important think is that how you are going to advertise the merchants website. One of the easiest ways is to start advertising with Pay per Click Method. All the three main search engines, Google, Yahoo and MSN have PPC programs. Pay per Click means that for each click on your ad you will have to pay.
You can open a Google Adwords Account with $5. Similarly, you can open an MSN account for $5. Yahoo lets you open an account if you deposit minimum $30. All the three search engines also can give you a free $50 or $100 voucher also in the beginning.
This voucher will let you get $50 or $100 free clicks. This will let you test a few products in the beginning for free. So dont waste these clicks thinking that they are free. You need to open an account on Google, Yahoo and MSN.
Select a niche that you think is popular these days. You can use Alexa or Lycos to check what are the hottest products. Choose a product. Make a campaign on these three search engines.
Your daily budget in the beginning should not be more than $2. It will help you do your testing without wasting too much of your money. Choice of keywords is very important in keywords because for each click you are paying.
Think what type of keywords; people are going to write to search for the product. Long tail keywords are the ones that convert well on PPC. Long tail keyword means a keyword containing three or more words. Avoid one word keywords. They have lots of traffic but generally dont convert.
You can search keywords through Google Keywords Tool for Google Adwords. Similarly MSN also has tool in built in it. Yahoo has its own free Overture Keyword Tool.
Use these keyword tools to select your keywords wisely. The general rule is this that there should be sale in 100 clicks. If you dont make a sale in 100 clicks, drop the website and choose another merchants product and website. Try to make $50 daily in the start.
