The internet is exploding at an exponential rate according to statistics there are 94 million searches everyday with 85 of the users making a purchase online this is an increase of 40 in the last 2 years with increasing opportunities one of the most popularised forms of income generation is affiliate marketing.
Most of the global leading companies all use affiliate programmes to promote their brands, affiliate marketing is when an affiliate has a website with a merchants link with their special ID embedded in it once a customer clicks on the link and makes a purchase the affiliate receives a commission.
As the growth in internet purchasing grows the potential for the newbie affiliate becomes greater right! Wrong! Unfortunately the failure rate is an alarming 95 so why the high rate of failure, the reasons are multi faceted. But the overriding problem is the lack of knowledge and training in marketing on the internet. That’s because they buy an e book or e books, which claims to show you the easy way to internet riches and find out there is a large portion of information that is missing. I doubt if there is any one out there who hasn’t purchased such a book or have been misled into believing this, when first starting out. That’s only natural and from this you will learn that you need to acquire more knowledge.
So what are the options? Fortunately there is abundance of resources to acquiring the skills to succeed and prosper, even if you have very little to start off with in terms of finance, you will have to learn about PPC pay per click, marketing in general in a wide range of areas and also email marketing, just be a little discerning in your choice of what to subscribe to or purchase and be realistic in your expectations.
When starting off the majority of people will be looking to generate a life changing income but do not expect this immediately as anything worth having always takes time and effort before this will materialise, think of it this way expect a little trickle then this will turn into a stream which in turn will increase in to a flood, it’s the first couple of hundred dollars that is the target.
One way of promoting affiliate marketing is to pre sell your potential customer with a landing page so that they may make an informed choice a review site before purchasing the product. The single most simplified method is to already have a premade landing page with products ready to promote, once you have the necessary skills in promoting these sites you can add your own products to your own landing page in whichever market niche that you wish. This can be promoted through pay per click article writing forums or email marketing.
Do not just subscribe to a membership or opt in to a programme blindly. Carry out some research on an interest that you may have, find out as much as possible in your related topic check it out with a software tool on search engines to ascertain the number of searches being made on a monthly basis.
