I agree with the above post. Completely pointless even bothering if you have no idea of how you are going to promote your product or website.

The reason people fail online nine times out of ten is because they fail to generate enough targeted traffic to their offer i.e (marketing)

Here is my two cents worth! I have been trying to make money through affiliate marketing for a while. Read loads tried to implement without much luck. Now I am learning with somebody an am really happy, because I think I found the right training program for me and I am on my way.

I would think that you also need to target a niche that people are searching for and maybe that you enjoy since you will need to spend time promoting it. I for one would definitely learn how to make a few extra bucks with affiliate marketing and will be attending some local meetups with other affiliate marketers to pick their brains. From my other business ventures I do believe in finding a good mentor who is willing to help and mentor you along the way.

Yes, it's possible to make a lot of money with affiliate marketing. It is one of the few legitimate ways to make money with little to no investments. It does take time though, and a lot of work! Don't expect to make millions right away, or even in a year. That's not saying it's not possible, it's just not very likely... You have to learn a lot, although it's simple stuff you're learning, you DO need to learn how to do it right.

As far as cost goes, you do need to spend money on a domain name and web hosting. Although, you may choose to go through a free blogging platform if you are just starting out, until you learn the ropes. However, your own website is the better option. Keyword research is crucial to success and targeting free traffic, so eventually keyword research software would be a wise investment, (that should be sooner rather than later) other than that, everything you spend depends on you. You may choose to pay for advertising for a quicker response to your website, although building a foundation and waiting for free, organic traffic is better. You may also want to outsource work that you don't like to do, and get more software that frees more time for you to build more websites...

Starting out though is fairly inexpensive, in relation to starting an offline business. And that's another thing, treat this as a business that you are starting, take it seriously, invest the time, learn everything you can. If you do, it will pay you like a business. If you go into it thinking you are going to get rich in 2 weeks or next month in your spare time, whenever you have 10 minutes to put into it, then you probably won't make much. You do need to put time and energy into affiliate marketing, especially in the beginning until you get it off the ground.

Personally i'd be pretty leery. Of the people i've known who did this the only ones who made any money were people who were willing to turn EVERY interaction with EVERYONE into a selling opportunity. The rest ended up buying an awful lot of the product themselves.

there is no doubt affiliated programs is really very reliable network.edomz.comI am using this network for last one year its working very good for me. I get paid within 24hours when i reach minimum 5$, conversion rate is really very good. live support which they are providing really exceptional.

The danger is in spreading yourself too thin. You need to pick a niche and find some good keywords using Market Samurai. You need to find a good trainer like Matt Carter with his Rapid Profits Formula course. Then build back links into your site to get it in the top half of the first page of Google for your home page keyword and several of your other keywords. Rosalind Gardner at net profits today dot com also has some interesting tips and helpful advice for those interested in affiliate marketing.

Affiliate marketing can be quite lucrative. I made my first $100.00 check by marketing Ipage, a webhoster, on my blog. They actually pay 115.00 per referral. The only thing I did was do some keyword research to write an article about them, I added it to my blog and built backlinks to the article, then I inserted their banners on my blog so that people would click on them. This is just an example of how well you could do with affiliate marketing, however it takes some research and a lot of work to get to the point where you're getting monthly checks from it. It's very possible though. A friend of a friend became an affilitate for a hair loss product for men. He made a web page for the product. He built backlinks to it and got high rankings in the search engines. He makes more than $3000.00 a month off the one site. If you pick the right program, it's extremely profitable.

I think that affiliate marketers are the biggest scammer's in the industry. Once you buy there product then the only way you can get there software to work is if you buy there 2000 dollar help guide and the to bombard you with more programs that they themselves do not use. My e mail box is filled with the latest program,software the can't live without program that promises pie in the sky
and guess who is making all that money while keeping everyone else in the dark ??

What you're describing is not affiliate marketing. An affiliate marketer doesn't own a product.

Anyway, I think affiliate marketing is one of the best ways for someone to get started making money online.

I didnt make millions but as i read and heard about affiliate marketing, it is too much difficult and needs long time to achive ur goals. There isnt a magic way to make money online.

You're right. There is no magic way to make money online. Some things work and some don't. If you are able to create a good website and generate some traffic you can make some money. Good luck!

You can make a ton of money from affiliate marketing! All you doing is selling other people products. You just have to know what you doing! Let me give you some numbers most people don't tell you. If it's a cold offer meaning that the people that you selling too don't know you then you be lucky to get 1 out of 100. Built a list and build a relationship with that list! Then you will make money!
