I’ve been getting more and more questions from subscribers who want to know how they can start making money online FAST, so I thought this would be a good time to talk about selling affiliate products.
Truth is, if you’re looking to create an online income stream as fast as possible, then promoting affiliate products is definitely the way to go!
As an affiliate, you don’t have to worry about finding, purchasing, warehousing, or shipping stock to customers. Instead, you simply recommend other peoples’ products in exchange for commissions!
All you have to do is attract traffic to your website, then send that traffic to your merchant’s site.
When your traffic buys their product, money flows into your bank account!
So what kind of income can you expect from your commission checks?
Well, that depends on a few things. First, what affiliate program do you sign up with? Good merchants offer commissions of 30% or more of the profits on each unit sold. If they’re only offering you a measly 10% to 20%, it’s probably not worth your time…
…Because if you really want to make good affiliate money, it’s going to take some work.
We call affiliates who put in that extra little bit of work and make a LOT of extra cash “super affiliates.” Super affiliates don’t just put one link or banner ad on their site and then wait for something to happen — super affiliates MAKE it happen!
As an affiliate there are a few things you must have if you’re to make great money:
- A product and / or service that everyone needs. Not wants – needs!
- A product and / or service that’s great value for money.
- Preferably a product and / or service that you’ve developed full confidence in through your own use.
- High enough commissions to make your efforts worthwhile.
- Preferably pays you over and over. Promoting any form of service with a monthly recurring cost of membership is superb as you will have commissions rolling each month – all from one initial sale.
- Good training and other resources to help your promotion activities.
- Ready and quick direct access to the program owner.
With a bit of research it’s not difficult to find a program that meets all of these but, in my mind anyway, the 12SC Professional Marketing Suite is clearly one of the best out there.
