Earn Money From Your WebSite With Affiliate Links

Earn Money From Your WebSite With Affiliate Links

by: Knut Holt

If you have a website with some traffic, you can make money by having links to merchantsก online shops on your site.If someone goes through your links into the shop of the merchant, and buys something, you earn commission from the sale, between 5% and 40% depending on type of merchant. Some merchants also pay for each click or each lead. A lead is a new visitor to the shop that asks for more information or prize offers.

People or companies having these links on their websites, are called affiliates, and the links are called affiliate links. The administrative infrastructure by the merchant that the affiliate register into, in order to get the linking code, is called an affiliate program.

To register into an affiliate program is usually free, and through the program you get freely all you need to make the linking code, to monitor the traffic through your links, and to see what commission you have earned.

An affiliate program is not a MLM program, since the affiliates only earn from sales, leads or clicks.

However, in many programs you can recruit other affiliates and earn some commission from the sales made by the recruited affiliates too.

There are also common networks operated by thirdpart companies where several merchants use a common software and administrative infrastructure to recruit affiliates and monitor the traffic from affiliates. These are called affiliate networks. Both the merchants and potetial affilliates register into the network, and the affiliates can find links to the online shops of hundreds of merchants to use at their website. Examples of affiliate networks are Commission Junction and Clixgalore.

From my experience, the best affiliate programs are for merchants selling althernative health items or items for erotic improvements. I also have good experience with programs in the fields skincare, cosmetics and hobby.

What will work best for you, will however depend upon the kind of traffic you have, and the interests of people visiting your site.

The Deadly Sin Of Inaction

The Deadly Sin Of Inaction

by: Arun Pal Singh

‘there is difference between knowing the path and walking the pathก

Morpheus, Matrix Revolutions.

Can you make money on the net?

What kind of question is that?

Of course you know that it can be made. That is why you are reading an article on internet marketing

It is good to know. Knowledge is an essential item that we should possess.

My next question is to a particular segment.

Why are you not in business then?

Many a people know that money can be made on the internet. A lot of them also know that potential is huge.

But why then they do not start their own business and earn money.

They just know. They do not endeavor.

Just knowing is not enough. One must realize what he knows. Only then he can be convinced about the actual path and destination. So many people start their business on the net. They know they can earn money and lot of that. But they stop midway before they can earn a single dime.

Why?

There is a difference between knowing and walking the path.

They just know. Their knowledge is based on perception. Their knowledge is not based upon realization. They become shaky, loose confidence and stop before they put their first step in.

Knowledge based upon perception from surrounding can be easily clouded. Doubts are raised quickly. Fear rises inside, ‘What if they are wrong!ก

Stirred persons do not go far.

The case is different when you realize the truth.

Okay! How do we realize what we know?

We walk the path. There is no other way. And we walk the path till the end. When we see the truth the doubts vanish.Then we have a knowledge that is based upon conviction and not just perception.

Thousand people can come and tell you กYes there is lot of moneyก and you form an opinion.

Another would come and say it is not true and your mind will raise the alarm.

Because you still doubt what you know.

You have not faced the truth. You have just heard the truth.

You need to walk the path to face the truth.

Then you will be unshakable.

Till then you may read thousand of articles, subscribe to hundreds of newsletter or read a lot of books and each would tell you what I am going to write below

You Can Earn A Lot Of Money On The Net.

That is a very pleasing statement. That is a soothing and exciting statement.

But you will realize this only when you take an action. Before that this knowledge is just hearsay.

As you start you learn to walk further. Use your knowledge to guide you in the initial part. Don’t let fear cloud your judgment. Know a people like you who have walked before. That would keep your mind unclouded and head steady.

Soon you will see and realize the truth.

5 Free Steps To Online Income

5 Free Steps To Online Income

by: Darren Power

If you are new to the online business world and would like to get involved without risking any of your hard earned cash then this article will show you one way to get involved for free.

We are going to discuss ways to promote affiliate programs without your own site and without spending any money.

Best of all if you choose a program related to your interests then it won’t even seem like any work is involved.

The 5 steps are aimed at promoting a product while you go about your normal daily surfing activities.

Before we get on to step 1 you need to locate and join an appropriate affiliate program.

This program ideally should be 2 tier, which means you get paid for sales made through your link as well as for the sales made by affiliates that you refer through your link.

To find an affiliate program search at Google for กaffiliate directoryก then visit the directories and search the directory for a keyword related to your interests.

Once you have joined a program you will receive a link to promote, you may also receive a second link to promote the affiliate program itself which can be used to recruit tier 2 affiliates.

Once you have a link take the following steps to incorporate the affiliate link into your surfing activities:

1. Add a signature to your emails, this will mean that every mail you send will have a tag line at the bottom which, in this case, will promote the service that you are affiliated with. Check the help files in your email program for instructions on how to do this.

2. If you already visit forums related to the product add a signature to your profile. This means that every time you post your link will be added to the end of your post.

Locate more forums where people interested in the product might hang out. Do a search for a keyword followed by forum at Google.

Try and think of all the different related subjects that might have forums and identify as many as possible.

Once you have identified your forums visit them all and join the ones that allow posters to add a signature file to their posts. Then get involved in conversations be useful whenever possible and every time you post an item your affiliate link will be displayed. This will be a lot less like work if you are promoting in a niche that is of interest to you.

3. If you have an eBay account then create an About Me page and include details of the affiliate program there. Click help once logged in to eBay and search for About Me to find instructions on creating your page.

Whenever you list an auction include a line at the top of the description that invites viewers to visit your About Me page.

4. Locate sites that have visitors that might be interested in the product that you are affiliated with especially those that have a mailing list or an ezine. Then contact the site owner and suggest that they join the affiliate program. If they join using your link you will earn a percentage of any commissions that they earn.

5. Repeat, Repeat, Repeat. With so many things success comes down to numbers. The more site owners you contact and the more forums that you post at the more commission you will earn.

Do all of the above and you will earn money for no investment, it may take time and might start slowly but it will happen.

In Mourning for the Google Cash system

In Mourning for the Google Cash system

by: Darren Power

Do you remember when you could pick an affiliate program, hustle up a few hundred keywords toss it all into your Adwords account & wait for the commissions. No me neither! I was busy doing something else during those glory days.

If it ever was that easy it certainly isn’t any more, thereกs a lot of competition & intense bidding for keywords. There are big corporations bidding on anything that moves & paying tens of thousands of dollars every month for number one listings.

Just in case you weren’t getting the message. Google changed the rules. Now Google will only list one ad for each domain name in any given set of results. If youกve ever searched for something obscure and found three or four ads telling you it can be found on eBay you will understand why they did this. The result of this change is that you almost certainly now need your own website to succeed.

But never fear, there are still opportunities for the little guy to earn big.

You just need a plan to maximise revenue from everything that you do and from every visitor that passes through your online real estate.

Here are my top five tips steps for maximising income from affiliate programs.

#1 Sell to a niche. I know youกve heard that message a thousand times before. There are hundreds of guides to niche marketing online and you might be forgiven for thinking itกs just the latest big hype. But the fact is if you choose a small market you can focus your product more precisely on your target market. If you get this right more of your visitors will think that your recommendation was written just for them and for their situation. The result? More of your visitors will buy.

#2 Always collect contact details from your visitors, if they don’t buy today many will buy tomorrow or the day after. If you have a responsive mailing list, you have an asset that can earn you money on demand. All lists start small and small lists can earn big money.

#3 Once you have their mailing details keep in touch, don’t let these people forget who you are. Certainly don’t only send them mail when you have something to sell. Send them freebies and news as well. Build a relationship, tell them about your life, be their trusted friend.

Side Bar

I read a post on a forum a while back about a guy who had been promoting an affiliate program for about a year. Then the program decided they didn’t want affiliates any more. This guy calculated that he had sent over 10,000 paying customers to the merchant over the course of the year. Now he had lost a whole revenue stream and had no way to earn from his past efforts.

If only he had kept in touch with these people by collecting names and mail addresses and keeping in contact, he would probably have made more sales along the way but better still he could now contact them and tell them about another great product.

End Sidebar

#4 Upsell your list. If they didn’t buy initially then keep reminding them of the benefits of the product. If they still don’t buy after later mails sell them something else. If they were buyers of the initial offering then upsell them on something bigger and more expensive.

#5 Don’t stop. Never stop sending mail to your list and don’t leave it so long between mails that they forget who you are. Keep sending useful information every week, build a rapport with them. Do this right and they will come to trust you like a friend and when their friend recommends something they will buy it.If they don’t want to hear from you any more they will use the unsubscribe link. Don’t assume they are all sold out. A good list is good for as long as you maintain it. Which can be until the day you retire.

Build your business right and you will be building an asset that will keep you for the rest of your life.

One great benefit to taking the long term view instead of immediate profits is that you will be in a better position to compete in the PPC marketplace. If the goal of your campaign is to build a list as opposed to making a profit then you can bid higher and run a break even campaign.

Lessons Learned At Gunpoint

Lessons Learned At Gunpoint

by: Andre Clelland

กIf you do anything foolish or try to get out of the car we will shoot youก were the terse words which hung in the air like a bad smell.

The small car was being driven at over 120 KPH down the dark roads and highways. Beside me at the wheel of the car, was one man. Behind me, sat his partner, with a cold gun pressed against the back of my head. There was no doubt that they would do what they said.

A few hours before many thought had been in my head. I had many plans and things that I intended to do. But now, I was focused on ONLY ONE THING getting home alive.

I knew this happened often where I was visiting but never expected it to happen to me. Life was cheap, and over 100 people died each week at the hands of criminals like these. They wanted the car, and I was taken along to give them more time. Nerves were tense and something could go badly wrong.

Everything was focused on getting home alive…

That night I focused on keeping myself and the others calm. We knew that if we were stopped by the police it would become a shootout and we would be killed. We talked and I persuaded them not to tie me up and throw me into a gutter. Within one hour I was left in a dark industrial estate with my hands tied.

Within one more hour I was at home… alive…

WHAT IS THE POINT OF THIS STORY? Is it just to tell you about my experience? NO! I want you to answer one simple question.

If you knew that you had to earn $100 online within the next month what would you do? If the gun was pointed at your head and you had to make money online or face the consequences what would you do?

There are many folks out there who have never made one cent online. You would like to make money but since itกs not essential you have never bothered doing anything about it.

What about you… If the gun was pointed at your head today and you were given 30 days to earn at least $100 what would you do? (and in case you are wondering you can do it easily)

What am I getting at? I am trying to tell you that if you want to earn that $100 you are going to have to do some specific things. You need to learn quick, but most importantly you will need to start doing what your have learned do it now!

Do you see what I mean? I am challenging you to work at your business during the next 30 days. Focus on one program. Create your own website with your own domain name. Promote your website and services.

Work… work… work… and then work some more. It will cost you less than $100 cash but it will take time, enthusiasm and effort.

The ONE Thing YOU Should Focus On Right Now

The ONE Thing YOU Should Focus On Right Now

by: Lynn Terry

Let me just start out by saying that I cant tell you what that กone thingก is. It is for you to choose, and for you to do.

Thereกs a lot of talk out there among the กexpertsก about how to get rich, how to become successful, how to do this or how to do that. Itกs very easy to get distracted, and even easier to become overwhelmed. กInformation Overloadก, they call it.

The truth is, there are A LOT of viable business ideas out there. There are MANY ways to become successful or wealthy. There is TONS of potential in online marketing. And thereกs still PLENTY of room for you to step in and claim your fortune.

The question is: What are you going to do?

You could:

write a book or an ebook

promote affiliate programs via PPC

sell products on eBay

create & optimize contentrich sites in niche markets

build an empire of minisites

become a public speaker

be a web designer, copywriter or VA

That list could go on and on… and on. What I see all too often is that many people try to do ‘the whole listก. Or at least several at once. And that can be okay if your focus is one and the same in all things that you are doing. Or it can be disastrous. A recipe for failure.

Maybe you can relate to this scenario: You set out to do something, and it takes longer to earn the amount you had hoped for… and then you see another option. You try it out, it does pretty well, so you put some time and energy into it. Something happens rules change, markets fluctuate, algorithms change and you’re moved two steps back. You’re introduced with something new, more stable, and you focus on that instead.

This is a familiar story. If you haven’t experienced it yourself youกve certainly heard about someone who has. And theyกll tell you that the business idea they started out with originally was a failure, or that there was กno m0ney in itก or ‘too much competitionก.

Youกve probably heard that you shouldn’t have all of your eggs in one basket. That you should create 10 microniche websites that earn $1,000/month instead of one larger website that will earn you $10,000/month. In less than one hour of surfing the กnet, you might be told to do this, do that, promote x and build z. All of it sounds good. All of it could work. Try to do all of it at once and you’re going to be in trouble.

The key is to have a FOCUS.

Choose one thing and do it WELL. For example, if you have a contentrich website, you can also offer an ebook on the same topic. You can capitalize on affiliate sales, or Adsense clickthroughกs. You can build a highly targeted 0ptin mailing list. You can incorporate an กupsellก and backend sales into your shopping cart. You can set up your own affiliate program.

Basically, you want to build on the foundation you already have and make it stronger, make it bigger… make it more profitable! Sure you can implement all of these new methods and strategies that you learn. But don’t set out to do something completely NEW when you have already invested the time and energy into a project you haven’t yet completed. Instead, focus on making it the BEST.

Once it is running smooth on its own, and completely automated, you may want to build another or focus on something entirely different. But if you’re trying to build on 10 things at once, or find yourself working in entirely too many directions… itกs time to take stock, go back to the foundation, and decide how you can best finish building on that original idea of yours.

And thatกs it. Thatกs the ONE thing that YOU should be focusing on right now.

Tips On How To Earn Money With a Home Business

Tips On How To Earn Money With a Home Business

by: Jim Noel

Everyone wants tips on how to earn money with a home based business. It never seems to amaze me that a lot of people with a work at home business are not earning some money.

When I got to question a few of these people about why they are not earning any money, I found out why!

People, you have to do something to earn something! Just because you have joined a MLM or affiliate program, don’t think just by sitting back you will earn some money. NOT TRUE!!!

So I have tried to make it easy on these people by coming up with the necessary things you need to do to earn money from home.

If you honestly do these things, and still don’t make any money then maybe a home business is not for you. But you need to be honest about this and put out the effort.

1. When you first start with a work at home business, set out at least an hour a day devoted to your business.

2. Spend the first day advertising your business on the free classified websites, there are literally thousands of these sites to advertise on.

3. If you have a website for your business, then spend day 2 submitting your website to all of the search engines, Yahoo, MSN, Google, AOL, etc.

4. Day 3 start submitting to ezines, this is a very good way to promote your business.

5. Day 4 start by writing an article to use in the yahoo groups. And with this article your can promote your website at the end of the article.

6. Day 5 submit your business to the various business message boards, there are lots out there that let you post an ad for your home business.

7. Day 6 you will want to start advancing up and checking for ขLeadsข that are interested in starting a home business. When you find a good source you will want to start emailing them. To do this you will want a good auto responder to handle the high volume of emails.

8. Day 7 you will want to start this process all over again.

You can do these steps in any order, but remember persistence is the key. Spend an hour a day for the first 30 days on these 7 items. Each day promote your business in a different way.

Within 30 days you will start to see the rewards of your work that you only spent 710 hours a week on!

Further more don’t expect to get rich overnight. The businesses offering ขpie in the skyข so to speak do yourself a favor and stay away from those type of offers.

Do yourself a favor when you get involved with a work at home business. You owe it to yourself to give it an honest try. Nothing will happen, if you don’t do anything.

Discover The Secret To Earning Royalty Income Just

Discover The Secret To Earning Royalty Income Just Like Famous Rock Stars!

by: David L. Feinstein

Rock Stars have it made.
They get an inspiration, write a song, get it produced, and then earn checks on their inspiration (OK, some perspiration too …) for the rest of their lives.
I know most of us never think past what they look like and what their music sounds like …but when you go beyond that, did you ever stop to think about how much money they make?
For some, it’s hundreds of thousands of dollars a day!
For work they did once!
The biggest chunk of a Rock Starกs income comes from one simple thing: ROYALTIES!
Royalties are what earn rock stars BIG MONEY. They write or record a song, and the work may be over, but the income pours in for the rest of their lives.
Doesn’t seem fair that they have that sort of advantage over regular folks like us …
Sickening, as a matter of fact, when you come to think of it!
Well I have good news for you. Big parties, expensive cars, huge mansions, exotic vacations they can be yours too! In the near future, other people could be looking at YOUR lifestyle and saying, กIt’s just not fair!ก
What Exactly Is Royalty Income?
Royalty income is similar to what many successful businesses earn each and every day. Once they build their business (like writing or recording that song), they keep making money FOREVER. Insurance agents, appliance warranties, cable TV, ISP’s (AOL), utility companies, just to name a few, all earn royalties.
They have learned one secret the rest of the world hasn’t… Leverage through the efforts of lots of other people. Itกs the EASIEST way to the RICH and GLAMOROUS lifestyle youกve always dreamed about, and contrary to popular belief, you don’t have to be famous to get it!
So what does this have to do with you?
Now I’m About To Share These Same Secrets With YOU!
My 25year career as an accountant and business manager working with some of the top stars in the music and entertainment industry gave me special privileges and the ability to watch the success of my clients from up close. I learned exactly how they did it! But while they were sitting back making millions, here I was working like a dog, day after day.
My Dark Secret Is Your Fortune!
While these clients earned millions of dollars in Royalties from work that was done years ago—without even giving it a second thought. I was jealous. I was resentful. I couldn’t help but compare my income to theirs and I knew they were out living it up while I was working like a dog! I was neither the Rock Star nor the hit song writer. BUT I WANTED THAT INCOME, AND DECIDED TO GO OUT AND GET IT!
And Now I’m Going To Tell You How!
By Applying A Few Simple Principles You Can Do It Too:
1. Work Once Get Paid Forever: Royalty income is based upon work that you have previously completed, and yet you can enjoy financial benefits from it for years to come. (You may have heard Royalties also referred to as ‘residual income.ก)
2. Tax Benefits: When you begin to earn income from Royalties, you are basically selfemployed. You can then enjoy the tax benefits of selfemployment in addition to the financial benefits. Some of these tax benefits include deductible expenses that you could never take advantage of as an employee; things like meals and entertainment, travel expenses, home office equipment, automobile, and medical expenses. In fact, it’s not uncommon for those savings to be between $3,000 and $25,000.
3. Leverage: Income from royalties can also be much broader than just the copyright Royalties that those Rock Stars and Hit Songwriters earn. You can also enjoy the benefits of income from Royalties through the power of กleverage.ก
ITกS ALL ABOUT LEVERAGE!
What is leverage? Itกs similar to the leverage of buying a property with other peopleกs money. The newer trend and the newest WAVE in big income, is earning money through the efforts of OTHER PEOPLE. When you have leverage, you need less of your own efforts, because the efforts of other people are paying off for YOU.
This is not a makemoneyfast scam. It’s a legitimate moneymakingmachine!
By applying a few simple principles and making a few simple decisions, and just slightly changing how you are doing things right now, you can begin earning Royalty checks that you never thought were possible.
WITH MY HELP, YOU CAN START EARNING BIGGER ROYALTY CHECKS THAN YOU EVER IMAGINED!
Don’t miss out on Royalty Riches. Many people have missed opportunities when it’s been placed right in front of them. Don’t be playing the ขSHOULDA, COULDA, WOULDAข song.
It’s Your Choice. But If You Do Nothing, Here’s Where You’re Headed:
• 63% out of 100 people at age 65 depend on social security and charity for food and shelter
• 95% of people at age 65 or either dead or broke…or DEAD BROKE!
• 29% out of 100 people don’t live to age 65

The Different Ways YOU Can Make Money Just By Runn

The Different Ways YOU Can Make Money Just By Running Your Own Website From Home…Even With CFS/FM!

by: Claire Williams

Before I start, I thought this might interest you:

‘the average home based business household earns $50,250 a year. This is almost double the $26,000 annual salary of the average U.S. employee. About 20 percent of all home business households earn in excess of $75,000 a year.ก

from the ‘Entrepreneur Magazine’

I’ll bet that caught your attention didn’t it?

For those of you who have given up, thinking that your Chronic Fatigue Syndrome or Fibromyalgia has prevented you from ever having great financial success, think again.

Okay, so you can’t hold down a job. That’s fine! Because what you CAN do…

…is work from home!

In the past issues, I’ve talked about how you can work from home by running your own moneymaking website. It’s a great way to earn money. But how exactly DO you make money from running your own website???

Lots of ways!

But!!!

Some ways are more energydemanding than others! So here are some of the most ‘convenient’ ways to make a longterm income when you have CFS/FM:

1) Have advertisers (such as Google’s ‘Adsense’ program) pay YOU to put adverts on your website.

This is by far the best AND easiest way to earn money from home. This is because all YOU have to do is write about the topic of your choice throughout your website, to attract enough visitors to your website! Unlike other monetization options, you don’t even have to do any ‘selling’!

Huh???

Well, in basic terms, Google gives you a code, which automatically generates small adverts on your website.

If a visitor just CLICKS on an advert, YOU GET SOME MONEY!

Hurrah!

So think how much you could make if you plaster that Google Adsense code on each web page you have in your website?

Thousands of webmasters are using Google Adsense on their websites and earning a very good living from it!

Definitely worth checking out! Especially because it’s free to join!

So what are the other ways that can make you money if you had your own website?…

2) Sell your OWN electronic product/s on your website!

I suggest that you make and sell your own electronic products (like an ebook for example) because these are the cheapest, least timeconsuming, and most profitable products you could sell on the Internet.

And if you’re going to spend your precious energy, you might as well spend it on something that’s very easy and cheap to do, and that’s a worthwhile income earner.

And when you write your own ebook, you get to keep 100% of the profits! What a nice little earner!

3) Sell other people’s products on your website.

The easiest, most hasslefree way to do this is to join a few ‘Affiliate Programs’. An Affiliate Program is where an online shop gives you your own individual code. You place that code on your website.

If a visitor clicks on your code and BUYS from that online shop, the shop will pay you commission.

Commission rates vary from 5% to 50% depending on which affiliate program you join. So you can make good money from this monetizing option.

4) ‘Referrers Fees’ or ‘Finders Fees’.

Find local businesses and negotiate a deal with them so that they’ll pay you commission for every paying customer that you refer to them.

The best way of generating an ongoing income is to use **more than one** of these options to make money on your website.

There are LOTS of other ways to make money on the Internet just by having a website. But alas, this article must come to an end at some point! I’ll cover all of the above, and other ways to make money online in forthcoming issues.

So there you are, a quick overview of a few different ways in which you CAN earn money from home.

And not just good money but a longterm income. Remember those figures in the quote at the start of this article 20% of all home business households earn in excess of $75,000 a year (approximately 42,000 GBP or 61,000 Euros)!

Think about it.

It’s easy. It’s doable.

And it can be done, whether you have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/ Fibromyalgia, or not.

Use Collaborative Approach and Get Leveraged Ear

Use Collaborative Approach and Get Leveraged Earnings

by: Sanjay Johari

By helping others to grow their business you ensure growth of your own business. I have seen this theory work even while dealing with competitors. This confirms one of the golden rules you get what you give to others.

I have been involved in building and running factories to generate profit and credibility right from constructing foundations for machines and buildings up to the point of developing customers and retaining them. In the process I have had to deal with many agencies suppliers, customers, consultants, government officials, licensing firms and many others.

Whenever I negotiate a deal with these agencies, I always have two considerations at the back of my mind. One of them is cost reduction and the other one is the prospect of entering into longterm relationship. It is often possible to resort to armtwisting to get a deal which appears better for you. But there is a better approach the collaborative approach.

Collaborative Approach Let us take the case of a supplier or a vendor. While it is possible to force a deal in your favor, collaborative approach makes that unnecessary. In this approach you actually work with the vendor as a consultant to help him to reduce his cost of sale, and then get the savings passed on to you. This creates a winwin situation, good relationship develops and longterm source of supply is ensured.

Similar approach works with customers also. Customers can be helped in growing their business, in solving their technical problems and other issues. This may not give immediate monetary benefit, but there are longerterm advantages. One obvious benefit is that loyal customers are developed. Another equally important benefit is that customers actually advertise for your products. This is a nocost advertisement endorsed by actual user of your product.

Network marketing uses a collaborative approach that makes it really appealing. It is unfortunate that network marketing or multilevel marketing is not really considered as respectable as it deserves to be. This may be because many network organizations have disappeared because of faulty systems or unethical practices. Many programs did not have any products to sell; their business was only recruiting down line members. Such programs and associated legal issues should be totally avoided.

PERSISTENCE PAYS One of the reasons why new affiliates give up too early and too easily is that they were probably lured by some getrichquick scheme to join the program which did not materialize as they were led to believe. In any good network marketing program it is important to realize that results will be forthcoming only thru persistence. Building any business which can yield returns sufficient to support a family takes time.

Good Affiliate Programs While many organizations have disappeared in thin air, there are also organizations that are growing and growing. Many programs offer unlimited earning potential. It is important to join only good programs with proven track record. New affiliates are often new to the Internet business and join with the hope of making some extra cash working parttime or working from home. They need support from the organizations operating the programs by way of training, sales promotion material, discussion forums etc. Many programs provide such support to their affiliates.

Personal Guidance While all these material can help a new affiliate, there is no substitute for personal guidance. Apart from other benefits it can provide, it at least assures the new affiliate that she is being taken care of and is not left alone. This is where collaborative approach comes into play. Generally the person who sponsors the new affiliate works as a guide. The guide has more experience in this field and helps the new affiliate to grow her business.

Leveraged Earnings The programs that have a system of providing leveraged earning to its members particularly take advantage of this situation. In leveraged earning, a member earns from the efforts of the downline members. Suppose you have members in your downline just below you, and these members have their own downline members. Like this there are several layers of members below you. Depending upon the program you have joined, you can earn leveraged earning when your downline members in several layers below you earn their commission.

In this situation it will be to your advantage to help other downline members earn commission for themselves. They are also happy to earn for themselves with your help. This collaborative approach works out a winner for all concerned.

Apart from monetary benefits, there are other issues involved in the collaborative approach. In my opinion the most important aspect is that the new affiliate does not feel neglected. There are now plenty of free information available in the Internet, most of which can be obtained by visiting websites or thru autoresponders. All the secrets of running successful business are out there. Yet only a few people are able to succeed and earn back their investment. With so much of oftenconflicting information people get more confused than educated. If there is a person to guide you it will at least give you a sense of relief.

There are awards also for those who guide others to realize their dreams. This is the sense of satisfaction they get in helping others and earning their lifelong gratitude. Other bonus gift is opportunity of building your credibility and gain trust of your business partners.

The sense of belonging, which develops in collaborating with others for overall growth of all, is the real beauty of leveraged earning.

Are Paid Surveys a Waste of Your Time?

Are Paid Surveys a Waste of Your Time?

by: Robert Thompson

Recently ,while visiting one of my favorite business forums, I ran across some interesting comments concerning paid surveys. The gyst of these comments was that taking online surveys is a waste of time. Here is my answer to those comments…

…. Just because you didn’t earn any money with surveys, that doesn’t mean that they are a waste of time.

Like any other online opportunity, it takes time and effort to build an income with surveys. Many people who have failed, say the same thing about SFI, Goji, Empowerism, and dozens of other online stay at home job opportunities. But, thousands of members of these same companies are making good money every month. Try to convince them that they are wasting their time, and they will laugh at you. Meanwhile, their bank accounts just keep filling up with cash!

Survey takers can earn a solid second income. It may not be more than a few hundred dollars each month, but itกs enough to pay the light bill or the phone bill, or maybe both. It takes time to build up a steady stream of business, but the same thing applies regardless of what business you choose to pursue.

The biggest downfall that new survey takers face, is a lack of knowledge of the activity itself. Hopefully, the following will give you a good starting point.

To earn money with surveys, you consider doing the following:

1. Study. Don’t expect things to be all rosy just because the ad looked good when you signed up. Take the time to learn the mechanics of the survey business. This will allow you to identify your particular niche.

2. Continually update your registrations as your survey company updates their data base. New marketing firms are looking to test their products all of the time, so the data bases will constantly grow.

3. Create a seperate Email account just for survey business, and make sure that you turn off all of the spam filters for this account. Often, surveys will trigger a spam filter, and you will never even know that someone wanted you to take part.

4. When you fill out a questionaire for a potential survey, you might find out that you don’t qualify for that particular survey. Send a thank you note and ask to be considered for future surveys.

The magic words, กPlease and Thank Youก never go out of style.

5. When you are offered surveys that result in points, coupons or drawings, fill them out! These are often used as qualifyers by different companies. By completing them, you show that you are serious about participating, and as a result, you increase your chances of being contacted with cash offers.

6. Be truthful and give complete demographic information when applying. Don’t pretend to be a 24 year old woman, when you are actually a 35 year old man. These companies have junk filters too, and they can see through this nonsense in a New York Second.

7. Search for forums that concentrate on surveys. You will be pleasantly surprised by what you find. There are folks out there who are willing to share what they have learned. Take advantage of that help to refine your survey skills.

One of the keys to running a successful stay at home job, is to establish multiple streams of income. Each of these streams might only provide a few dollars each month, but with enough different sources, you will find that you are able to earn a substantial second income. Paid Surveys can provide a terrific income stream, that will continue to grow as you become more knowledgable and experienced with them.

You may not get filthy stinking rich by completing surveys, but if you follow these seven steps, you stand a good chance of earning enough to pay a couple of extra bills each month. Besides, its fun!

Capitalizing On The Autosurfing Craze

Capitalizing On The Autosurfing Craze

by: Keith Gloster

You’ve heard about it in recent months, and its popularity seem to grow in leaps and bounds with each passing day. Paid to surf programs have been on the rise and with the monetary promises that have become the stalwart of their systems, more and more people are joining the bandwagon.

Autosurf programs actually pay you for surfing 40 to 200 sites per day. Don’t let the numbers mislead you though, because this task can be done in less than 15 minutes, regardless of the speed of your Internet connection, through a system that would allow you to surf sites automatically, hence the name.

Think of autosurf programs as cooperatives. Members can advertise and get paid at the same time. Here is an outline of how it works:

You will sign up for the program.

You will be given an initial capital for free, either $5 or $10.

You will be asked to autosurf 150 to 200 sites everyday, before the timer restarts.

For every day that you do your task, you will earn 1 to 2% of your invested capital.

At any time you wish, you could upgrade your membership and increase your capital, so that you will be able to increase your earnings as well.

You will also earn credit points for each day you autosurf. These points are the equivalent of currency in the program’s builtin economy. You could trade these points for fellow members, or exchange them for goodies like free web hosting, banner ads, or ad spots on the windows that appear for every autosurfing session.

A mere user finds autosurfing programs quite lucrative. In three short months, he would have earned back the capital he invested, and every earnings hence would be net profit. Additionally, he could find really good deals for the products and services offered by the program, for as long as he uses his credits well.

An Internet marketer can look at autosurfing programs as free advertising opportunities. Most of the people who participate in autosurfing are on the lookout for moneymaking opportunities online. They are good targets for affiliate programs and the likes. Additionally, the Internet marketer can also earn while availing of the free publicity.

As earlier mentioned, there are a lot of autosurfing programs in existence today, and more are being created everyday. Choosing the right one for your needs, whether you are a marketer or someone who just wants to earn some extra cash, can be a little difficult.

Here are some guidelines to help you choose a reliable autosurfing program:

As much as possible, stick with the programs that have been in existence for the longest time. A lot of the new establishments are offering a higher percentage per session, but you have to study if such a setup is sustainable for them. It would be sad if you’d invest a lot of money on a program that would be gone by next month.

If you want to capitalize on the advertising opportunities that autosurfing programs offer, try to choose one that has many enrollees. You wouldn’t want to spend so much effort in advertising to a handful of users, after all.

Choose autosurf programs the weed out excessive images or bandwidth huggers. Remember, you will have to autosurf everyday, so a program that would pave the way for faster loading of the pages you’re tasked to view would save you a lot of time.

Bear in mind, however, that there is no rule that prohibits you from joining as many autosurfing programs as you like. The more programs you enroll in, the more earning opportunities you will be making for yourself.

Autosurfing has been an Internet staple for a mere three years. It is a relatively new area that marketers can exploit to their advantage.
