So Many Affiliate Programs! Which One Do I Choose?
How to choose the right affiliate program, or even if I should choose at all, to start making money.
OK so good for you, blah blah blah, you want to make money, you need to make money, you don't have job security, for whatever the reason, you're here, and you need to make the best of it. So we're not going to waste your time, you haven't got it.
First of all, no surprises here, ask questions before you join an affiliate program. Do a little research about the different programs. We know this can be quite costly and difficult to do if you don't know anything, or very little about the industry, because we've done it.
You can also seek out a credible source of information, very much like this site here, that has done the research for you.
Get some answers because they will be the deciding factor of what you will be achieving, or not achieving in the very near future.
Just about all these programs cost something to join.
Don't believe for a minute that most affiliate programs being offered today are absolutely free of charge.
If by chance you find a free e-book about how to make money online, it's just a book, and not expert giving you,
leading you thru with step by step instructions.
There are experts out there. The industry recognizes those people as experts, and therefore it would make sense to make a small investment to secure the results you are after.
Consider this; free public schools vs private schools, get my point?
So let talk a bit of what this is all about.
You want to make money online, so why the hell are you reading this? Well this is how it's done., you have to start somewhere.
You need something to sell, what do you have?
You need something to sell, so you sell other people's products.
What do most people sell? not their own stuff.
Does Walmart or Tesco sell their own products, not really.
You go there to get the best deal on brand names.
I know, we hear you, Walmart has Walmart brand freakin' everything, so what? They're usually not as good as the brand name products, and
we're not after discount no-name copied crap.
We want the real thing.
Since we are a very fair company, we're going to tell you
how to do this for free. That's right, free!
Why are we going to do this? because it doesn't work.
It can theoretically, but how much time do you have to reinvent the wheel? It could take you 6 months to not make any money because you don't know what you're doing. (that’s not a typo)
How much time do you have? Don't forget the reason you're getting involved in an online business is because you want more time to yourself.
Affiliate marketing is not the quickest fastest way to get rich and have a residual income, it just isn't, MLM's are.
(that would be Multi-Level-Marketing businesses)
But affiliate marketing is the least expensive way to start,
40 bucks or so and a free website.
Get the one that's already set up for you to make money, and follow the directions, the step by step tutorials, and
make sure you get a program that has a monthly fee because,
and I REALLY NEED TO STRESS THIS FACT-
YOU GET REAL LIVE COACHING AND SUPPORT.
You don't get that with all affiliate programs, in fact
you don't get it with most of them.
You do with MLM's, that's what they are about, a people business, but affiliate marketing is different, it's a loners business.
The cheap-skates and the uninformed go for the
least expensive programs and fail, and in reality most do.
Why? because most programs out there are just e-books.
YOU DON'T WANT JUST AN E-BOOK!
You want a coach,
not just a book. If just a book worked,
why would anybody need to go to church?
Good point huh?
So here's how you do it for free. Go to www.clickbank.com,
set up an account, pick some products based on what they tell you,or what you like, do some free advertising, go deeper in debt.
On the other hand, you spend about 40 bucks or less,
about what it costs for a dime bag, you get a real live person helping you, you have a product that someone has based their reputation on,
and you get a website and all the tools to make money right away.
Not much of decision is it? a no-brainer.
This question is frequently asked,
how do we get paid with the affiliate program?
Each affiliate is given an account id when an account is set up.
When you advertise a product, there is a tag in the links that you place in your ads, or when someone actually goes to the place of purchase.
Any sale made with your tag in the recorded transaction,
pays you the commission.
The amazing thing is, even if the person doing the shopping goes from product to product, as long as it is the product you advertised, and
they are identifiable because they are carrying the cookie you gave them, you will get credit for the sale when it happens.
How cool is that? Very cool,
oh but there are rules, read on...
Companies like Clickbank offer checks in pretty much the same way as any other company.
For some it's every two weeks, direct deposit can be an option.
You can set the regularity of when your checks will arrive, the minimum amount, usually $100, and whether or not you
want direct deposit too, after you qualify.
There are some limitations with companies like Clickbank, and all of them for that matter, but no big deal, you can't get paid every week, two weeks is the minimum. but who cares?
The other thing is, if you sell something, and it's less than $100, and you don't sell anything for another 90 days, guess what?
you lose that money.
Yup, poof, evaporado, sia-freakin'nara, bye bye, it's outta here.
Don't gamble with your time and money, get a good program.
I'm not going to go into strategies and all that stuff, that's what the courses are for, I'm not going to write a book here.
This is what I do, I'm a writer/provocateur,
I'm going to throw one little factor in here by saying this;
would you like to make $10,000 in the next 30 days?
You can make good money with affiliate products, don't get me wrong, I love it! but, you're not going to make
10K in 14, 20, 30, 40 days or so doing it.
Your not going to make $10K over and over and over again beginning your first month marketing affiliate products.
To make 10-20K your first month, that takes a group effort.
Remember the "people business" I mentioned earlier?
That's right, MLM's are the best and fastest way to make big money and create a residual income in the least amount of time.
The down side, if you want to call it that, is that it costs more initially from the beginning, but with the good ones, you never pay anything else again. You think I'm kidding? check it out for yourself, that's what this is about, you doing the research, and I,
the teacher, guiding you along to point out the "safe things to eat".
So there you go. You have a question, just ask. Look for a "contact us" something or other on the home page, or maybe text somewhere that says contact a representative.
Good luck! now get on with it.
The new world order is knocking at your door,
the middle class is about to be eliminated,
are you going to be in that class? Think about it.
