Affiliate marketing is absolutely the best way to get your Internet home based business off to a fast start and this is primarily because you can either get paid a commission for selling goods as an affiliate or you can open up an account as a Publisher and promote your own product.
What is affiliate marketing
In affiliate marketing, people that have nothing to do with your Internet home based business or your product, will sell your product on your behalf in exchange for getting a cut of the profits. For example, on a major affiliate marketing website like Clickbank or PayDotCom a typical product that is sold for $50 might give anywhere between $20 and $40 of that money to the affiliate that created the sale. This allows you to market on your own (for the full $50 per product) as well as enlist the help of others on the terms that you only pay them when they make a sale.
How to Start with Affiliate marketing
Usually the process of signing up to be an affiliate is fairly simple. You will be provided with an affiliate marketing ID and a website page in most cases. The requirement from you is to advertise that sales page in order to sell the products or get others to sign up as an affiliate. You will earn a certain amount of commission on all the sales you make and the sales your referrals make.
But remember sell only products that are related to your niche. If your home based online business website is about exotic fish, most of your site visitors are probably interested in fish. Products having to do with breeding fish, fishtanks, making money with exotic fish, and buying exotic fish at a discount are all products that would do well.
Promoting your affiliate Marketing business
Incentives For Buyers
You must use every possible means to encourage people not only to visit your internet home based business site but also to click and proceed to the websites of the products and services you are promoting. Building an opt-in email list is one of the best ways to gather prospects. Offer a newsletter or an e-zine. Better yet, offer incentives to your prospects to encourage them to subscribe to your newsletters. You can present free softwares, access to exclusive services and other freebies that will be helpful to your prospects.
Social networking
In Social networking each site has it's own individual regulations. In some sites, an affiliate might be allowed to link directly to an affiliate marketing product or program for instance, while in other sites, you may be restricted to some links which lead to your own blogs or internet home based business websites only.
By joining social networks that allow users to link to an affiliate marketing sales page, or to your own Web site or blog, you can considerably increase the amount of profits you're making as an affiliate.
Article Marketing.
One of the best ways to get long term traffic for your internt home based business website is by submitting articles, with your website's link at the resource box, to e-zines and free article sites. You will not only gain exposure, you will also have the opportunity to advertise for free, just include a link back to your site. The more sites you submit your articles to, the better your link popularity is.
Finally
Promote your internet home based business by using a number of different marketing techniques. Write articles, place free ads, place paid ads, use solo, ezine and classified ads, email, ppc and as many other different marketing techniques as you can think of. By using a diversified approach, you can determine which sources work best for you. Then focus on those methods that perform the best.
