The internet gives the average person a the level playing field to anyone who is ambitious and willing to learn. Never before could anyone compete successfully with large corporations to attain their dreams. Dreams come true every day on the internet. Learning to make money online is to feel the soft silk of success beneath your fingers.
What is affiliate marketing? It involves a person's becoming a commission salesperson for a company. The big difference between an old fashioned salesman and an affiliate marketer is that if the salesman didn't sell, he or she would be fired and replaced by someone new.
In affiliate marketing, if you don't sell, you don't make money. As a website owner, you could be an affiliate for dozens of companies so if the products of one or two don't sell, you still have a chance to make a go of it with the other companies' products you are an affiliate for. There is no firing.
All this is made to appear very complicated by some who want to sell you their magic solution. Considering all the hype out there, it is not your fault if you haven't succeeded yet. Just read on.
The affiliate marketing system in a nutshell.
Mary in Vancouver has a Chihuahua dog named Vincent. Fall is coming and even Vancouver gets cold in the winter. Vincent will need a new winter wardrobe. One must maintain standards, you know. Mary loves walking the walkway with little Vincent running beside her as they share a secret passion for cotton candy.
She accesses her favorite search engine and enters a search for "Chihuahua winter clothes". As usual, her screen fills up with the top 10 ranked sites for Chihuahua clothes. Statistically, the top 3 get the lion's share of the clicks.
This is the first of the 4 steps mentioned above. A successful website learns to attract free (organic) traffic to their online offering. Contrary to what some gurus say, learning to attract quality, high value free traffic through the search engines is not rocket science.
Someone who takes their time to learn and experiment a bit will do just fine. Never mind what the experts with the pricey solutions have to say.
One of the top websites is called Chihuahua-Clothes-R-Us and the description catches her eye. She clicks the link and is immediately taken to an amazing page featuring all kinds of Chihuahua clothes.
This is the second of the 4 steps mentioned above. You have to have quality content on your website. For this reason, it is highly encouraged that you build your site around a theme you love like Chihuahua dogs. Your love of the subject will shine through your pages.
Mary is distracted by a page on beach wear for when Vincent goes with Mama to the beach. There are terry cloth coats for when he has his bath or he is taken to the doggie spa and so forth.
She clicks on a link that promises winter Chihuahua wear. Sure enough, there are all kinds of winter Chihuahua clothes. One winter coat is made of black leather. The images are so good that she can almost smell the leather.
She takes her time. She is, after all, in Chihuahua heaven. Suddenly, she stumbles upon a link to a Chihuahua safety equipment page. Mary had never thought of that. What would happen to Vincent if she hit a car or something and he was unprotected on the seat?
Intrigued, she finds herself surrounded by all kinds of safety gear for her little dog like car safety harness and special leashes that have a built in GPS transmitter. If Vincent were to get lost, she would have no trouble finding him with her lap top.
If incorporating all this into a fun, profitable website leaves you fearful and anxious, relax, take it easy and take a deep breath. The process can be simple and easy. We will blow away the smoke and take aim at those fears and concerns.
Back to Mary and her search.
Another link takes her to Chihuahua nutrition pages and she soon finds herself immersed in deep reading on how to keep Vincent healthy.
And so it goes. She has a great need that she is willing to lay out lots of cash for. If the builder of the website is smart, he or she also has a love for the little Chihuahua dogs and it will show in the quality of the content on their site pages.
You can almost hear the happy, healthy clicking of little paws on pavement.
Along the way, they have found different companies that offer different Chihuahua specialty items. All of these companies have affiliate programs and the site owners signed up for all of the best ones.
What they are doing in their pages is called preselling and this is the third step mentioned in the beginning. Mary came to the website with a definite need. The site pages convince her that they hold the solution. Mary is presold on the idea that she need go no further.
The Chihuahua winter clothes come from a company in California. The safety equipment is from a company in New York and the GPS harness is from Japan. The site owners do not have to handle any of the items she might purchase.
Their site does the selling, the customer does the buying and the companies do all the shipping, customer care and so forth. This is the fourth item: Monetization.
There is a mechanism in place for Mary to safely buy what she needs without the site owners doing anything other than creating quality content on their pages.
"Cha-ching!"
Nothing compares to the affiliate marketing system. It's almost as if all those products are in the site owner's warehouse, but they are not.
Affiliate marketing allows anyone to build a business on virtually anything without having to risk a cent. Nothing in history can match this for sheer potential.
