Newbies and Affiliate Marketing By Robert Dull

Most people have a dream of working from home, getting up when they want to, work when they want to and earn as much as they want to. So one of the easiest ways to do that is through affiliate marketing. It for sure is the best method for doing so on-line.
But you know as well as I do there is a lot of information going around that tries to make you think you can join today and be earning money tomorrow. That is not the case, earning money as an affiliate marketer first take some education. What to market, how and where to market. Then it's going to take time and effort to make it happen.
But the good news is because anyone can be an affiliate marketer, this has made the industry one of the fastest growing and most rewarding ways to make a living from home. You figure just by promoting some ones product you can earn some nice commissions.
When you join one of the affiliate programs you pick a product you think you can sell, get your affiliate link and start promoting the product, then when a sale is made you get a percentage of the sale. You get a commission.
But to remember the most important part is to send your prospects through your affiliate link or you won't get credit for the sale and then no commission.
There are a few ways to promote affiliate products and pay per click is just one of them. By just searching Google you will see the pay per click ads. Called Google Ad words. Pay per click cost money and I would not advise the newbie to go that route unless you purchased a good training guide on pay per click. Not doing proper research could cost you your shirt.
If you take the route of pay per click you will want to do some testing and also some budgeting. You will want to make sure there is a return on investment. In other words for every dollar you spend you hope to make a profit.
Now if pay per click scares you a little then you might consider going another direction. One I suggest is article marketing. You will want to pick out a product in a niche. Read over the website get some good points about the product and take the time to write an article about it.
You will want to let the reader know some of the benefits and features of the product in the article you are writing. Once you have completed your article you can submit it to one of the publishers on-line. I like Ezine articles the best.
Making a residual income as an affiliate is not that hard once you know the steps. Like having your own website, doing a product review, using auto responders to build a list and much more.
