Affiliate marketing is an excellent way to make money on the Internet without actually selling a product or service.

A person joins an affiliate network or an affiliate program with a single company and promotes their product or service to others via specially encoded links.

When a visitor to the affiliate marketer’s website clicks on one of these links and makes a purchase, the affiliate receives a percentage of the sale.

Successful affiliate marketers need a website that attracts visitors with unique and interesting content. Fresh content goes a long way in making a website rank higher in search engines. The content must be relevant to the product or service the website is promoting.

Writing content to entice visitors to click on an affiliate link is easier when it is a subject the website owner is familiar with and interested in. The website must also be visually appealing and easy to navigate to entice visitors to stay and read the content. The website should never appear to be simply thrown together to promote affiliate links, it should provide helpful information.

Having relevant inbound links to your affiliate marketing website generates traffic. Search engines place more emphasis on websites that have good quality links pointed toward them. There are numerous ways to build links.

Commenting on relevant blogs using a signature that links back to the affiliate website creates back links. Write relevant articles and post to article sites that allow backlinks within the articles or author information. Trading links with other websites should be done sparingly, if at all. The goal is to limit the amount of advertising on an affiliate website and trading links simply adds more advertising clutter.

Now is the time to start looking for affiliate partners to promote. Affiliate partners should have products or services relevant to the website. Consider website analytics to see what keywords are bring visitors to the website and chose affiliate partners that offer products related to these keywords.

Most companies that offer affiliate programs want to see a website in place first. Partnerships with companies that offer affiliate programs are how successful affiliate marketers make money, so affiliate programs need to be chosen carefully. A website that partners with too many companies will not be as successful as the advertisements will compete with each other. Check the landing page of each affiliate partner. If the deal is not appealing to you, it won’t be appealing to your visitors.

Even a website that attracts traffic does not necessarily benefit from affiliate links without a call to action. A call to action is any content that gets visitors to click on an affiliate link and make a purchase. Affiliate marketers need to convince visitors that they need a partner’s product and they need to be told the benefits of owning the product. Articles about personal experiences using a product or service work well.

Calls to action are more effective if visitors trust a website and consider the website authoritative. Blog comments and social media content without overt sales pitches help build both trust and traffic.

Affiliate marketing requires continual work in addition to creating new content. Partners will offer special promotions that must be incorporated into an affiliate website. Most affiliate partners will send new promotional material to you via email. Sales and seasonal promotions offer affiliate marketers an extra chance to make money only if new promotional banners or ads are added in a timely fashion. Check all affiliate links regularly to make sure they are still working properly.

Affiliate marketing provides many people an easy way to start a profitable online business without a major investment. Don’t expect to see large profits from affiliate marketing right away. The most successful affiliate marketers see their income rise as they gain experience.

I’m a big fan of Shoemoney and I’ve have subscribed to his blogs plus newsletter.

Today I want to share a great story that he posted on his newsletter :-

” ShoeMoney Oct NewsLetter – The Mindset For Success

I am hearing a lot of great stories from people who have gone through my free shoemoneyx.com course and doing some neat things generating revenue. Please keep sending me your stories. I love hearing them! That is why I made the program!

Now I don’t mean to pee in your cheerios but I want to talk to you and share something with you. Something I feel is really important. Making money online is easy. Profiting from it over the long haul IS NOT.

Eventually everyone’s ship comes in. When your ship comes in what will you do? Maybe your ship just came in?

This is my personal story and dealing with my first big success and how I was able to position myself for the best outcome.

I hit rock bottom about 8 years ago. I was 420 lbs, smoked 2 packs of cigarettes a day, about 60k in credit card debt, and just had lost my job. I also sleeping on my friends couch.

Its important to know what rock bottom feels like. Its important to know what its like to really be hungry. Its important to know what it feels like to drive a 1990 rusty van with no muffler. Its important to know what having massive amounts of credit card debt and what appears to be no way out feels like. Its important to have that feeling that you are a failure at life and maybe that’s all you will ever be.

Now I say that its important but to me it was ABSOLUTELY crucial in developing my mindset for success.

I am guessing you have seen the image of me and the Google AdSense check for 132,994.97 for one month.

Its actually hard to search for anything related to making money on the internet and NOT see it…

The one thing I have never really talked about was the back story on WHY I took a picture of me and that AdSense Check for 133k before taking it to the bank to cashing it.

As I am sure you know Google AdSense is run on your website and you get money when visitors click on your AdSense ad. Almost all of my traffic was coming from Google so I felt it was really a house of cards. If Google felt my website was no longer relevant for the keywords they were sending me traffic then over night I was done!

At the time I was totally new to making money on the internet and I never thought it was going to last.

I took the picture because I always thought that if my websites disappeared tomorrow I could leverage that picture into a book or something… I didn’t really know…

I always had in the back of my mind what rock bottom felt like and I never wanted to experience that again.

In hind site it was even more brilliant then I ever thought it was going to be. Especially that that month was the last month that Google ever sent out paper checks for over $10,000.00 so really nobody will ever have a check.

But I never took my success for granted and I diversified my website income into many other forms instead of just Google AdSense.

I learned how to make money from donations, affiliate programs direct banner sales, selling my own products, and subscription. Within a few months my subscription revenue, Direct banner sales, and affiliate revenue each by themselves dwarfed my Google AdSense revenue.

So I have all this money coming in from the website im all diversified but I still did not really feel safe.

So I started the ShoeMoney blog (originally on googleninja.com before I obtained shoemoney.com) basically just talking about the ins and outs of making money.

Because I had the Google AdSense Check for 133k and some pretty other large screenshots of revenue that I could use to make points on what I was talking about the blog VERY quickly became an authority in the space of making money online. So much so that in its first year that we implemented advertising on shoemoney.com we did over 2007 $100,000.00 in revenue.

In 2008 we boosted that to $490,000.00

in 2009 shoemoney.com will make over $750,000.00 probably closer to 1m in revenue.

But lets take a step back. Because we had built this authority we were able to leverage our audience into starting our own conference called the elite retreat. We started the event in 2006 and have sold out events every year since. Even at a price tag of $5,000.00 per person.

In 2007 we leveraged the blog audience and our contacts and started our own advertising network called Auctionads. Auctionads is truly an amazing success story and one of my proudest accomplishments. We took a company from 0 to 25k active publishers doing over 3 million per month in revenue in less then 4 months and sold the company. That is simply unheard of. It would not have been possible without leveraging our previously accomplishments and taking them to the next level.

So what drives me to keep doing more things?

I can remember that feeling of hitting rock bottom like it was yesterday.

ONLY now the steaks are MUCH bigger. I am now married and have 2 kids. I also have 20 employees that I am responsible for.

So why am I telling you all this.

I want you to recognize what you have and not take it for granted.

I had to hit rock bottom to find myself and really develop a work ethic and drive for more. Maybe you don’t?

Always be leveraging your current position and looking for your next thing.

I have no doubt that everyone reading this will come into money/success eventually. If you love what you do and you keep trying then its just the law of averages. Eventually its going to work. But when it does what will you do?

Until next month,

Jeremy ”
