Why Affiliate Marketing is the Most Popular Method of Making Money Online
People
have two views of learning affiliate marketing and it depends who you've been
listening to. It's either a piece of cake and will make you a million in a
fortnight (yea, right) or it's tough, tough, tough, it's saturated, nobody
makes any money any more and you'll lose your shirt (boo, hoo).
A simple
answer would be to say that the truth lies somewhere between the two, but
that's taking the easy way out.
The truth
is it depends not on how many people are doing it or how many people are buying
stuff or the latest web statistics or the latest super-product. The truth is it
depends on you.
More
internet millionaires were made this year than ever before. More will be made
next year. The internet is not saturated. You haven't missed the opportunity to
make money online. It's not rocket science or brain surgery, it's just another
way of doing business.
Some
people will make nothing. Some will make lots. Business was ever thus, the
internet hasn't changed anything...
...except
the entry level.
There has
never been an easier way to set-up a business than doing it online. Learning
affiliate marketing is an extremely low-cost way to start working from home
and, eventually, making a living on the internet. If you've got as far as this
article you have all the tools and ability you need to make money with
affiliate marketing.
You have
access to a computer and you can read. That's it. Everything else you can earn
along the way, if you're prepared to put in a little effort.
Which is
fair enough. Nobody starts out knowing it all and nobody is going to just give
you fistfuls of cash. We all learn. If you're prepared to do that, and put some
action in afterwards, you'll do fine. Actually you'll do better than fine.
Trawling
the major search engines will provide you with huge amounts of affiliate
marketing information and affiliate marketing courses. You need to be on your
toes, of course. As with anything else online, there's a lot of junk mixed in
with the valuable information.
You need
to sift through, study, and become a student of affiliate marketing. Before
making big leaps, take small steps. See what information you can get for free.
Invest a few dollars in one or two e-books. Use what I call the Pizza
Principle. If you think an e-book can teach you something, and it costs less
than the price of a family pizza, you can probably afford it.
A $97
dollar course, however attractive it might look, is not pizza money. You
probably want to be making some money online first and pay for that kind of
thing out of profits.
One
successful entry strategy for learning affiliate marketing is via article
writing or a combination of article marketing and blogging. It's cheap and can
be extremely effective. People are making six figure incomes using this alone.
