Affiliate Marketing Is A Very Green Pasture

by Melvin · Jun 9, 2008

Sorry for the title, I don’t really create great titles and I don’t know how to. ๐Ÿ˜‰ So tomorrow, I’ll be back in class so more probably the next post will be a little sooner. Today I am going to say something about affiliate marketing. No, I won’t define nor discuss the basics of it or maybe even tell you something useful about it. I just am going to tell you guys that affiliate marketing can make you filthy rich. Yes I know you guys already know it but for some people out there who haven’t tried affiliate marketing yet then maybe you shouldn’t.

When I have first entered this I though it works on a CPC basis but it does not (I know I’m a fool). Well I am just surprised that many people do not actually know that affiliate marketing is a very lucrative business. Maybe you feel guys like Shoemoney and Chow and some others make big bucks blogging but the truth is they make even more and more being affiliates. I myself is an affiliate. I use many types of affiliate program and I suggest you too. In this field you really have to learn a lot and being creative helps you more. But to be specific I so much like Commission Junction and PepperJam. They have made great conversions for me. If you are wondering what product am I promoting, I embark a lot in a very easy way of dating. Ringtones are great but the market was very competitive now and dating wasn’t that much.

my account...

So how do you make money w/affiliate marketing? Two things come to my mind when asked about this question, outsourcing and leveraging (go and see wikipedia). I can say that I learned those things along the way. I’m not saying I’m earning a lot from affiliate marketing but what I say is aff.marketing has been my biggest money maker… Basically I start by promoting products, then buying about 30 domains and then hire someone to make me a salespage. That’s it, then some adwords (I highly recommend Aaron Wall SEO Book, the best by far!) Last words, if you are gonna go and try affiliate marketing then patience is the key. Learning is your main weapon and failure will be your guardian angel(i know it’s corny).

Btw, tune in for the next few days because I would be giving an ebook about how a newbie can make $500 per month on affiliate marketing. It costs i forgot and I’m not really sure if I want to share it for free. ๐Ÿ˜‰

    You have earned quit a lot using affiliate marketing!ย  I’m thinking about starting with affiliate marketing. As for the ebook, I suggest that you give it away for only to your subscribers. I guess you know the saying “Money is in the list”.
