Affiliate Marketing

Generate Income From Multiple Sources

(Info for the non-tech person)

To start, let us look at three general ways of viewing affiliate marketing, as it relates to you having a website.

  1. You do not have a home business website, and you do not want to build one.

  2. You plan to build a home business website.

  3. You already have a website – including a network marketing, mlm, or replicated site.

If you have a (free or paid for) ready-made website, you fall within category two, above. You must do a form of online marketing. You need to build one website to drive traffic to your other website. Otherwise, you may not get enough visitors to your network, mlm, or replicated site.

The information throughout this website will demonstrate why ready-made sites do not generate organic traffic. You should also read the section on understanding search engines.

A powerful way to make-a-living online is the affiliate-marketing model.

The affiliate monetization model allows for long-term success through a wide diversification strategy. With affiliate marketing, unlike a job, you generate income from multiple sources.

The Online Strategy:

You (the affiliate) provide links from your website to the products or services on another site (your affiliate partner). Importantly, you must link to products and/or services that relate to the content of the web page, from which you are linking.

For example, let's say that you wrote content about buying and selling domain names. You would then look for and join an affiliate program, like this one. They use special software to track visitors you send to their website.

You simply place the affiliate link (they provide you) within your content. If the visitor buys, they pay you a commission. It is that simple.

You will never have to...

  • process an order
  • answer customer support emails
  • create an info product
  • ship a product
  • provide a service, other than the link.

The Offline Strategy:

You can use the offline strategy with and without a website. This is a great way to earn an income without building a website.

There are a variety of ways you can provide links to the products and/or services of your affiliate partners. There are many local people and businesses that will never find them unless you provide the link.

The best tool to use is the Offline Affiliate Marketing and Sales Kit produced by Site Sell.

Simply join the free affiliate program. You get complete, systematic, instructions on using the kit.

If you choose, you can build your own affiliate network (not multi-level) through the Remote Order Entry Form. You receive commissions on two levels of sales, as well as team sales. The best part, your (sub) affiliates can exist anywhere in the world. They receive commissions the same as you do. No one loses.
