The One Best Way to Make Money With Affiliate Programs

Written by Keegan Michaels


Affiliate programs arerepparttar number one most popular way to market onrepparttar 102637 Internet. There are thousands of affiliate and reseller programs covering everything from books to baseball bats.

I make a better bat, you put my banner on your site, and if someone buys a bat after coming through your link, I pay you 25 percent ofrepparttar 102638 selling price. Killer idea, right?

That one sale won't be enough money to payrepparttar 102639 mortgage or even enough to take your kid torepparttar 102640 movies. And to make matters worse, how many of your site's visitors are going to buy my bat?

Once you get pastrepparttar 102641 first blush of affiliate programs,repparttar 102642 sparkle starts to fade. You quickly see if you make any money at all, it's going to be mere pocket change.

This is one ofrepparttar 102643 reasons affiliate programs have started getting a bad name. Small site owners feel they can't make serious money with them and affiliate program owners can't get members motivated to pushrepparttar 102644 program.

STOP FOOLING AROUND.

I don't mean to insult anyone. But let me force you and myself to face a cold fact. Putting an affiliate banner atrepparttar 102645 bottom of your web page--crammed in there with four or five other affiliate banners--isn't going to sell anything.

Lots of sites approachrepparttar 102646 affiliate problem by making themselves a one-stop-shop for loads of links to other sites. This doesn't work very well either. People come torepparttar 102647 Web to find sites that SPECIALIZE in something particular. They rarely buy from a site trying to be a jack of all trades.

THE SOLUTION.

Get yourself a web site that specializes in one particular subject. The narrowerrepparttar 102648 better. If I'm hunting all overrepparttar 102649 Net for a site that tells me how to get heavy metal distortion from my little guitar amp, I jump for joy when I find your site telling me how to do it.

You could have a photo of you holding your Eric Claption guitart and leaning against your amp. You could have articles by you and other experts that tell step-by-step how to getrepparttar 102650 same sonic crunch all my favorite bands use.

And incidentally, you could featurerepparttar 102651 related products sold by GuitarCity (affiliate program) and more in-depth personal lessons from LearnGuitar (affiliate program).

What did you just do here? Realizing you don't have a weird uncle living inrepparttar 102652 basement who inventsrepparttar 102653 hot new product everyone wants, and knowing you don't currently provide a service lots of businesses need, you built a fine site around one or two products someone else makes.
