Written by D.Rhodes

It's quite a simple process: 1. Join an affiliate scheme. 2. Get your linking code. 3. Make a web page and put repparttar

code on it. 4. Wait for repparttar 102196

cash to roll in.

Simple!....or is it?

You produce your pages, submit them to a search engine and....nothing!

You are probably falling down on more than part of repparttar 102197 process. Here is a quick guide that may (or may not!) help you along repparttar 102198 way to an Internet based income.

1. Join an affiliate scheme: Not all affiliate schemes are made repparttar 102199 same. Look deeper before you decide to sign up. Ask yourself questions from a buyer’s point of view before you even start filling in repparttar 102200 application form. Would I buy this product? Would I buy from this Company? Have I heard of this company? Is repparttar 102201 product something I really need? The more negative responses you have repparttar 102202 less likely anyone else would buy either. This could mean saving you hundreds of hours trying to promote repparttar 102203 affiliate scheme with no results.

2.Make A Web Page and put repparttar 102204 affiliate link on it: Wait!!! Before your even start there’s more than just making a web page any old how. Firstly, buy a domain name and proper hosting. Having a website which resides on a real domain is much better than trying to use free web space. Its looks more professional and wont be artificially crammed with extra advertising banners by repparttar 102205 host. These extra banners and adverts are trying to steal YOUR generated traffic. With affiliate scheme promotion as competitive as it is, you need repparttar 102206 full attention of any visitors you do manage to get. You want hem to see your hard work, not let them be stolen. Before you even buy a domain name (not expensive at all!) give a thought to keywords you will employ on your site. For example, if you are promoting loans, then ensure your domain name employs that you do. A domain name www.ilikeicecream.com is no good if you are selling car loans!! There are many good sites details how to research keywords and phrases. I recommend your read these BEFORE even opening your web creation/coding software. (Search for SEO in and search engine for more material than you could ever read).

Seven Ways to Set Yourself Apart From Other Affiliate Marketers By DeAnna Spencer

Okay so you’ve read (fill in repparttar blank with internet guru’s name here)’s book and decided that affiliate marketing is repparttar 102195 way for you to earn some extra money online. I mean after all, all you have to do is plug in your name and run their ads and collect your commission check and ride off into repparttar 102196 sunset, right? Not quite. With so many people promoting repparttar 102197 exact same program as you, in repparttar 102198 exact same ezines or on repparttar 102199 exact same websites, you need some ways to distinguish yourself from repparttar 102200 rest of repparttar 102201 pack of affiliate marketers. Here are seven ways for you to do this.

1. Host Your Own Website.

I know I sound like a broken record, but it is absolutely essential for you to have your own website. For starters you can have a domain name that is easy to remember. I mean can you remember http://www.areallylongaffiliatemarketersurl.com/?pid=123/r=4(My apologies if that url actually belongs to someone, I just made it up on repparttar 102202 spot for an illustration)? I didn’t think so.

So if you can’t remember it and it’s your url, what makes you think your potential customer is going to remember it. Do you know what they are going to do? They are going to just chop off repparttar 102203 stuff at repparttar 102204 end and type in repparttar 102205 main domain name and purchase repparttar 102206 product from repparttar 102207 main site. However if you have your own url, you could have a url like http://www.yourdomain.com which is much easier to remember and you can just point your visitors to your affiliate page in your website.

2. Write Your Own Ads

Email repparttar 102208 owner of your affiliate program and ask if you can write your own ads. Most of repparttar 102209 time they will not have a problem with this, but you need to check with them first. A lot of times when I publish my ezine, I have published repparttar 102210 same ad two or three times and I wanted to email repparttar 102211 advertisers and say if only you had used your own ad. People become immune to ads after a while and if they see repparttar 102212 same ads over and over again, they may just skip over it altogether. Your objective is to get people to click on your link and if your wording is different they just might stop and read your ad and be curious enough to click through to your website.
