You’re simply selling someone else’s product through your marketing efforts, whether it’s a blog or website, and you receive a sales commission when the sale is completed.
Most of these products are informational ecourse, software, or eBook. Quite a few of the affiliate products pay more than a 50% commission. The smart product owners offer banners, buttons, sales copy, and even articles that you can use to promote with.
Clickbank is one of the most established programs. Commission junction is another source. Both of these make the payments to the affiliates so you don’t have to worry whether the product owner will pay.
PayDotCom is a program which uses PayPal as the payment method. The product owner makes the decision to pay the affiliates and has to authorize PayDotCom to do so.
Many products offer their own affiliate program independently. Look for one with a solid history of payment.
You can also become an affiliate of amazon.com to sell books and consumer products such as jewelry, televisions, whatever. The percentage commission is much lower, but sometimes the retail price is high enough to make up for it.
The fastest way to make money selling affiliate products is to think about the forums lists and discussion groups you already belong to. What are the questions being asked? Is there a problem that people need a solution for? What are the hot topics?
Set up an affiliate account at Clickbank, Go to their marketplace and search for product that will solve the problems, or are the answer to the question being discussed.
Set up a blog or Squidoo pages that relate to the affiliate programs. Post an informative response and include your affiliate product in your response. A softer sell is to post a review of the product on your blog and then post a response to the list/discussion forum stating that you’ve reviewed the product and they can find out more on your blog. You can also set up a Squidoo page and refer people to your Squidoo page. You will probably need to make 3 to 4 sales to earn $100 in commissions.
