Affiliate Marketing Blog |

Having been exploring the internet marketing field for the last 10 years, I am still very frustrated not knowing how exactly to make money online with Affiliate Programs like ClickBank or Commission Junction that’s Affiliate Marketing.
Please, reply to me only in case you are already making tons of money as a Super Affiliate.
In addition, please do regard me as an absolute beginner to Affiliate Marketing as I have never ever made any money with Affiliate Marketing at all.
Obviously, the main reason I am interested in the Affiliate Marketing field is the fact that I still do not have my own products or services to sell.
What I have realized is that there is a huge amount of scepticism among many potential Affiliates (including myself) when it comes to the important question whether or how I as an ambitious Affiliate can trust the Merchant or how I can be assured that the Merchant will morally and honestly be paying to me (or into my PayPal account) every time I refer them to a customer who then buys the Merchant’s product from my Affiliate link.
Subsequently, my main questions are:

How to research into, find and then select a legitimate Affiliate Program?

How to make sure that the Mechant will really link my PayPal account correctly and properly, so that I know he or she is a genuine and professional person who won’t be cheating or stealing away my hardly earned commissions?

How and where can I create a simple web page (landing page or squueze page) with my affiliate link? Please, once again regard me as an absolute beginner and tell me the step by step process of how to set up or create my Affiliate web page as I really do not know how to.

How to ensure the necessary traffic of potential buyers to my Affiliate web site so that I really start seeing some concrete results that’s making money online? If it’s Pay Per Click that is a solution, please guide me step by step on how to create successful money making Google Adwords campaigns. Or, do you suggest anything better than PPC?

Once again, I am only interested to learn from experienced money making Affiliates and Super Affiliates who have been making lots of money from the Affiliate Programs that they have joined.

Please, do not try to sell me here any cheap ebooks or similar downloadable information products with hyped and long sales copies, because I won’t be wasting my money on these any longer.

If you’re a genuine and successful Affiliate Marketer, please feel free to reach me on my Skype: bruno.bb100

In advance many thanks for your kind help and advices.

Best wishes for the New Year!!

Hi there,

I find it interesting to post such a question on something as public as Yahoo Answers: I wonder how many people will post dozens of affiliate links to GRQ programs etc!

Personally, my experience of affiliate marketing is making a little income through Amazon Associates (laptops and books) and a Wholesale Directory. In every case, the pages with the links on weren’t especially promoting the product in question. You could call this ‘passive affiliate marketing’. I did have a lot of traffic though until I sold up.

My current website, I’m focusing a bit more on active promotion where I feature and talk about the product in question. That way, I can shift higher-ticket items - some of my favourite affiliate programs I’ve featured here: http://www.how-to-build-a-website.co.uk/free-to-join-affiliate-programs.html

I know you’re not going to like the paid material, but Affilorama offers a free level of membership which is quite good. They do promote their premium level of membership ($67 monthly!) and try and entice you in with one-time offers etc. but have a look at the free program. http://www.affilorama.com/

I’ve also got rights to distribute this eBook: http://www.how-to-build-a-website.co.uk/support-files/affiliate-masters-course.pdf - It’s 152 pages long, and it helped me focus on the affiliate marketing strategy for my current site.

I am interested in learning how to make money online.
I am a complete beginner and have no knowledge of what affiliate marketing is or anything else. are their any good websites that explain what i need to learn. And anything else yo think would be help full wold be great. written explanations would also be good.

Thank you,

E-Bay is a good place. I have a resume writing service and make extra money typing people’s resumes. Also, I see stuff too. I think you can go into E-bay "Help" and see if there is a way you can work for them. Good Luck.

First off, a little back story so that you’ll understand everything. Basically, didn’t do that well in High School just getting low B’s and High C’s despite the simplicity of those courses. I just didn’t think any of it would be that important at the moment, and now its coming back to bite me in the a$$.

Well sort of anyway, I spent the time I was supposed to be doing homework learning computer programming and other divisions of computer science. I graduated high school May 2009, and wasn’t sure if I wanted to go to college yet so I gave myself a year off.

Now it’s January, and I’m wanting to go to college. I just took my SAT’s and will be getting my scores back on February 19th. I’ve been looking at Colleges such as:

Rice University (First Choice)
Harvey Mudd (heard this school was tough, but i’ve always liked a challenge)
University Of Texas at Austin (School i’ve always dreamt of going to)
Texas A&M
Ohio State
University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
CalTech

I am VERY interested in genetic programming, and have been toying around with it lately. I am also well versed in OOP principles, and making flexible, reusable, and extensible programs. I have experience developing software for clients via freelancing websites such as rentacoder.com and scriptlance.com.

As you might be able to tell, I am very confused as to what I need to do now. I was wondering if applying genetic programming to solve some sort of problem would increase my chances of getting into these schools. Would any other type of computer programming projects help my chances of getting in? Is my real world software development experience helpful in getting me into college?

Also, my family is making little to no income right now so I should be eligible for financial aid. I have found a ton of resources online, but I’m not sure what to do with all of them. I’m basically lost right now, and asking for some guidance for anyone that has been in a similar situation. Also, here is a list of skills that I have:

HTML
CSS
Graphic Design (beginner to intermediate)
PHP (5 years experience)
MySQL
Perl
Python
C# (3 years experience)
*nix administration
I’m great with Regex
Security vulnerabilities (hackthissite.com hellboundhackers.org and finding vulner. on local machine)
C++ (beginnner)
Java (beginner to intermediate, very similar to C#)
Search Engine Optimization
Internet Marketing
Affiliate Marketing
E-commerce
Ad copy testing/tracking conversions
Google Adwords Specialist

I also might consider playing football in college, here are my relevant attributes:
6′4 198 lbs
4.6 40 yard dash
225 lbs X 1 (weak I know)
32" vertical
4.43 20 yard shuttle

Another thing of note is I have impeccable balance and control of my body due to training parkour for 2 years. Here is parkour:

I would be a newbie to affiliate marketing and am looking for a good resource to learn about the business. I know there are so many different approaches. Yeah I know that MMM charges $97 a month for the services, but the service look very informative. Can anybody elaborate about MMM. I am quite aware that any business takes money to make money. I am expecting for be a multi cazillionaire over night by no means. But I see no reason that I couldn’t make a extra $500 a month if I just knew where to start. I know you can make money on places like Ebay because I have in the past but I do not want to handle any products. So can anybody lead me in the right direction.

He’s not bad…I have looked into some of his training methods, but most of it are things you can learn on your own thru various sites at no costs. I recommend if you’re gonna learn from a guru…why not go the #1 internet guru himself, Ewen Chia. Not sure if you have heard of him, but he’s a super affiliate and what he teach is absolutely amazing. All of the affliates out there definitely recognize who he is and at one point learned from him.

You can find more out about him at http://www.Super-Affiliates-Club.com.

Hope that helps and good luck.

Does anyone have real experience with making money as an online marketing affiliate? I want to learn more about how it works and ….ofcourse …..I don’t want to get scammed. Any words of wisdom?

I do recommend you two free ebooks.

They’re about affiliate programs and how you can decently profit from your website.

You can download them from the site below.
They’re free and no email is required.

Good luck!

Who out there can give factually opinion on affiliate marketing. Everybody out there seems to think that their program that they are apart off is the only who that is legit. When in reality they are trying to promote it to make a dollar. Who out there is getting true results and can prove it. I’m not trying to be direct but trying to make the best decision before I jump in. I want to get aboard the affiliate marketing train but do not want to be ran over and lose a ton of money because of a bad decision. What is the best program to learn from to understand the business and how it works.

There are different ways to make money on affiliate marketing so there are different programs. What I would suggest is that you read about affiliate program and choose a program that you think will work for you. Do not jump from one program to another as this is usually the reason why affiliates fail. They get so bogged down with too many information and does not accomplish anything. Also, make sure that the one you choose has good support as this is very important.
I have learned about affiliate marketing from a site that offers free lessons called Affilorama. It is great for beginners and the lessons are easy to understand. Check it out if you don’t want to invest any money yet.

So i have gotten started in affiliate marketing, i don’t want to go all out and spend money on ppc or my own domain or anything like that as im not going to be doing this for a living just for a little extra cash, so i have decided im just going to write articles and submit them to different sites. The problem is i have no idea where to start. Like lets go with i’m trying to sell an e-book on "learning to play the guitar" Should i write up my own pitch page on why they should buy this or is it better to give information on the guitar lead them into learning it (very basic) and say if they want to learn to play more they should buy this. Any suggestions on whats the best to do?

You have a demo of your product and let the customer do the free trial… It might be interesting and persuasive.
