Easy simple way three: Start your own affiliate program

Step number three is based on the premise that you have done and accomplished steps one and two to some degree of success.

Now before you jump all over me saying - “how can step three be at no cost to me, if I would have to pay a company to help me create an affiliate program and to service it. Or I would have to buy expensive programs to run my own affiliate program“.

Let me explain.

The best way to make money online is if you have thousands of people looking at your website a day. Traffic is king! Long live the King!

It doesn’t matter if you have a website and want to make money using something like adsense where you hope visitors click on ads and you earn money. Or if you makes the worlds greatest cupcakes and want to sell the recipe online. You need traffic!

Now in our step #1 way to make money - I explained how getting traffic using any PPC campaign can and is very expensive.

Also in #2 way to make money - I explained the benefits of having and owning your own product or service. You can reap better rewards correct.

So it is only logical that ultimately in the end you need an affiliate program of your own to help you inexpensively promote and sell more. Traffic is king, the more traffic the more your odds of making a sale increase. Remember it is all about the numbers game. For every 100 people who see an ad for a new stereo system - 1 person will purchase that system. It’s a basic principal in real estate, sales, or in any business. You need traffic - be it the kind that walks in the front door or clicks an online link.

Create an affiliate program.

But how do I create an affiliate program at no extra cost to me?

Follow this easy simple step; are you ready….. Write about your product, service or website.

Write - yes write. In today’s internet world hundreds if not thousands a day are trying to get Google and other search engines to rank their websites high. It’s known as SEO - search engine optimization. What is happening is that in order to get a good ranking from the search engine - websites need “content” and also more fresh content on a daily or weekly basis. So they use tools that help them get relevant content from others sources to automatically post on their site.

Now this is done to help with ranking, and also getting new fresh content on a regular basis. They use tools like RSS feeds to automatically post articles, blog’s, and such on their site. This is how you can create your own affiliate program at no extra cost to you.

Remember - an affiliate program basically enlist the services of hundreds of people to promote a service or product and promises to compensate the affiliate if there is a sale or lead generated.

So - Here is how you can start your own affiliate program:

Write articles about your website, product, or service. Carefully write out your article, and embed [ place ] links in the article to your website, site you have your product or services [ what is called landing page ]. A landing page is basically a big webpage ad that ‘s sole purpose is to entice the viewer to act - such as to purchase something.

Make sure these article’s you write - you will be writing more than one, are articulate, interesting, informative, and fall into the subject matter. [** again - if you write about dogs and link to cats - don’t expect to make a sale ].

Here is the good part.

If you write these articles and you join - perfect example - Goarticles.com and post these articles to be freely distributed to whomever wants them - you basically have hundreds, thousands of websites promoting your product, service, or website. [ blink - light bulb goes on! ]

Goarticles.com and other websites share articles with members. So if you wanted to read about “making paper dolls ” you could search their data base and find something there. If you join, you could download this article [ following their restrictions ] on to your site for free. But many who want new and fresh content on a daily or weekly basis use RSS feeds to automatically have “content” [ articles ] meeting their websites relevant subject downloaded directly to their site.

Imagine, 100 or 1,000 websites posting your article [ an article that promotes your service, product or website ] to their visitors. Imagine the traffic that can be generated for free.

Many webmasters use this technique to create not only traffic to their site but it also creates “ back links” [ one way links pointing traffic to their site ]. Why, because this also helps with your websites ranking.

Tip: A boost to traffic and free affiliate program

Here is a simple and probably well known technique that is used but often misunderstood. We all know it as “Social Book Marking”

Social Book marking is the greatest thing on earth for driving traffic to your site and having other people, possibly hundreds and thousands of people promoting your site. Have you heard of Digg, Blink, Netscape, Jackdrop, and other site that allow people to vote on sites that they have visited. People spend ours voting for or against sites they like or hate. In fact, many webmasters use these Social book marking sites to promote their site and drive traffic to their site.

Think of it as being on the top selling book list for several weeks or month. Most of these sites have a front page that shows the most popular sites - so if you post one page of your site and hundreds of people like it and vote for it, then your article or post stays on the front page of that social site main landing page. So in turn for every person that signs in to that social site [ potentially millions ] have the opportunity to see your link…. Wow, millions of traffic can be gained in an instance. Who needs to pay for traffic - when you can get it for free………

Times are hard. People want to do more than make ends meat. People know that there is money that can be made on the internet. But how do you do it with out getting scammed or fleeced by scam artist?

1- become an affiliate [ join for free - sell other peoples products ]

2- Create your own product, service, or niche [ be the boss, own it ]

3- Create your own affiliate program [ use others to promote for free ]

With no extra cost to you, a basic method that will not change no matter what is happening in the internet community
