3. You've probably heard of affiliate programs. Companies
use affiliate pograms to sell their products. The most
common way for making money online with affiliate
programs is through posting a link on your website. When
a customer clicks on that link and buys the product, you
earn a commission.
4. There are many advantages to making money online with
affiliate programs. Startup costs are minimal. The only
money you spend is to promote the product, whether
through a website or other means. You don't actually sell
the product, so you don't spend time shipping the
products or money to buy them at wholesale prices,
hoping to sell them later. Another advantage is that you
don't have to worry about unsatisfied customers returning
the product to you.
5. A good way to start making money online with affiliate
programs is to find a subject you are interested in and
start a website. After the website is up, find companies
that sell this product and register to be an affiliate. They
will give you some code to paste in your website. You can
use text codes or pictures, but text code seems to be the
most effective for converting to sales.
6. Look at websites in your area of interest. For example, if
you are interested in music, look at sites devoted to your
favorite musicians. Study them to see how they place ads.
Notice your responses to those ads. Some are annoying,
but others will make you want to click through. Learn
from this and place ads similar to those that interested
you.
7. Starting a website devoted to something you love is
rewarding. If you need some extra money, making money
online with affiliate programs can be a useful addition to
something you already enjoy.
