How Money Is Made Online? (Part II)

 



#3. Sell Other People Products. (Affiliate Marketing)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

You can sell products already created by others, saving you hundreds of hours of precious time and start making money on the Internet almost immediately. By choosing to sell other people stuff you:


  • Don't have to deal with customers (don't answer questions and complaints).
  • Don't risk time and money creating our own product.
  • You don't need a merchant account.
  • SalesLetter already created and optimized (hopefully) by vendor.
  • Forget about thieves and scammers.

Among other advantages. You only have to concentrate in generating qualified and steady traffic in order to keep your profits. You don't even need a Website in order to profit from affiliate marketing.

The key to start an affiliate marketing business is to select the product that pays the best commissions. People making a good living online prefer to sell digital products, since they are the most profitable. A digital product is something that is completely served online, such as a service, a digital book, a teleseminar, etc. ClickBank MarketPlace is the source of thousands of digital products to choose from.

The reason owners of digital products pay the highest commissions is because profits are very high (in most cases 95% of the sales price is pure profit) so, merchants can give away 50% of the sales price and still make a very nice earning. This is impossible to do with physical products, so you will have to bring much more traffic to reach the same earnings.

The key to be successful with affiliate marketing is search a market that has not too much competition and select a promotion strategy that is not full of competition (another time the competition thing). If you ignore this you could be promoting forever before seeing sales or wasting a lot of money.

Later in this course, you will learn how to do a competitive analysis for each form of business we have talked about.


#4. Profit From Advertising
---
--------------------------------------------------------

While trust is the key for Affiliate Marketing, traffic is the key when creating sites to sell advertising.

This is the easiest way to start earning money from a website, since as in affiliate marketing, you don't have to create your own product, or deal with customers. The only tough thing to do is build traffic and once you have built traffic to your website, you can:

  • Sell banner advertising.
  • Sell one-way links.
  • Put Adsense ads.

The advantage of this option compared to affiliate marketing is that the visitor doesn't have to buy a product and this makes it more recession resistant.

Buying and selling banner advertising is worth if you do it through a broker, since you have to evaluate many things to make sure you are paying the right price. Remember that all success in Business comes from buying cheap and selling dear and people who do it indirectly are the most successful.

Getting directly involved in the ad market can be time consuming, that's why Google created the Adsense program that makes it possible to put ads in your site and get paid when somebody clicks on them. You can join the program totally free and this way, you let Google do the selling of your ad space and only bother to collect the payments (that are put automatically at your bank by Google each month).





To achieve good earnings through Adsense, you will have to focus on keywords that brings enough traffic, not just high paying keywords, since keywords pay different depending on how much the advertiser is willing to pay. What good will do for your earnings if you manage to get 1 click a Month of a keyword paying $50 bucks a click instead of focusing on a keyword that pays lots less like $2 a click but could bring you 1,000 clicks a month?

As I said, the real secret to be successful selling advertising is getting traffic and again, if you go for the big traffic, then you will likely get frustrated long before selling something or seeing clicks at your Adsense reports. Start slow and tiny and you will see results faster, once you are confident enough, go for the big traffic and I will show you how to do it.
