Are you looking for a very cost effective way to make an extra income? Let me show you why online affiliate programs are a great answer to your needs...You must have been exposed to the online hype, and the fact is starting an online business is a great way to make an extra income. There are many ways to make money online, one of them, is joining online affiliate programs...Here are six great reasons (only) why this could be exactly what you are looking for. I respect your time, so I’ll keep each point brief. Here we go...1. Your ProductsMany people don’t have their own products to market online, and even if they do, they would have to handle the shipment of the products to every corner of the world, or they would narrow their market to specific areas only.Online affiliate programs provide a wide variety of quality products, which meet every customer’s needs, and you can market those products world wide without worrying about their shipment. All you need is to refer people to your affiliate websites. Any orders taken from that website are automatically handled by the company on your behalf.2. Your Income PotentialBesides the commission you can earn from direct products selling, there’s another powerful way to make a great income online - residual income, and this is by referring other people to join the opportunity. This way you can build a network of people where you make a commission for each sale they make...Some companies limit you to one level of sponsored affiliates, which mean, you only get commission for the sales of the first level of people you refer, however, MANY other great companies do NOT limit your income potential, actually, it’s infinite deep network where you can enjoy passive income.3. Your InvestmentThe great news is – you are NOT required to put any money down in order to join an online affiliate opportunity, you can join for FREE! Some of them might claim that you must buy their products (you should avoid those...), even though I believe in the concept of buying from your own store, real opportunities should not force you to perform nor limit your potential, so it is all up to you.Of course, any kind of business requires some kind of investment, generally speaking it’s a trade off between time and money, the more you are willing to invest, the less time you need to build a solid business, and vise-versa. So it is all up to you.4. Your Business TrainingSome of the great online business will train you for FREE. Do NOT take this lightly, if you are serious about making real income, you will need proper training to build your business effectively, this will save you time AND money!The information I have learned is priceless! I learned how to master the science of marketing, and it was easy for people like me (I’m a computer software engineer who knew NOTHING about marketing!) to build a successful business. As I already mentioned, this training is available to you for FREE even before they see a penny from you!5. Your Business NeedsThis is extremely important. To have a successful online business, you must have the proper tools like tracking software, websites, follow-up manager and more. Without those tools, you are shooting in the dark and you’ll waste your time and money.The serious online affiliate opportunities will provide you with those must have tools, and will guide you exactly how to use them in your favor. Again, FREE of charge!6. Your Bottom LineI’m well aware to the fact that the bottom line of any business, including online business, is making money. However, there are issues beyond that, those are the issues behind your desire to make money, either to spend more time with your family, get out of debt, own your own home or you name it...Affiliate programs can be a great way to achieve whatever reasons you might have that triggered you to search for ways to make an extra income. Just make sure you join a great opportunity that is willing to invest in your success, because your success means also theirs!Allow me to close with a quote by Robert Kiosaki, the author of the book titled "Rich Dad Poor Dad". Mr. Kiosaki, a self made millionaire who also works in network marketing and who opened my eyes through his astonishing books, said the following:"Is your business or the company you work for going to do well in a depression? If not, start a part time business. Our businesses are designed to do well in a good economy and do even better in a depression. A part-time business that will do well in a down economy is a network marketing business. During a depression, many more people will be very receptive to joining a network marketing company".Online affiliate companies are the new cutting edge network marketing companies, which makes the whole process much easier.

by: shrinivas Vaidya
Dear friends, when it comes to promoting affiliate programswe all follow a certain defined process. We first go togoogle.com ,type affiliate programs in the search field. Whenthe results get displayed we look for "high paying" affiliateprograms. By "high paying" I mean those who pay 25% commissions.Then we visit each and every website listed and join theprograms becuse they are free! to join. We put all sorts of banners and text ads on our links page and expect to see a check in our mail box the next morning.Well, I am here going to reveal a very different way of promoting affiliate programs. Let us revise the processone-by-one.Step 1> Search for affiliate programs with your favoritesearch engine. Look for only those affiliate programs whcichhave products which interests you. For example if you are interested in "radio controlled airplanes" then look for suchproducts first. Don't start with promoting "herbal shampoos"or "yoga cd's" just because they pay 40% commissions.Since you already know a little about rc planes it wiil bemuch easier for you to promote various aspects of theproduct.So when selecting the affiliate prgram keep in mind the following sequencea)Product which you know about or are interested in.b)Qulaity of the product. To know the quality of theproduct it is advisavle to buy the product yourselffirst.c)The organisation associated with the product. Look forthe promotional material they are giving to affiliates.This shows the confidence of the manufacturer in their ownproduct.d)Commission structure. Some webmasters provide 2 tier commission structure. Some have a threshhold amout beforethe affiliates get paid. Here is a nice place to sart with.This is a list which contains 50 affiliate Programs That PayAT LEAST 50% commissions. Visit http://www.myfriendlyebooks.com/Aff/a1.htm) Step 2> Design a simple landing page to "presell" the productbefore sending the visitors to actual sales page. Now this stepis extremely imporant. Why do you to presell the product ?. Thisis because this is internet. No one knows you here or has seenyou personally.Normally when someone buys from the internet he is going to lookfor similar 4-5 products before he gets to the final decision.Here if he comes to your affiliate landing page it becomesmuch easier for him to compare the product you want to promotewith similar 4-5 products in the category.The landing page you have designed can have testimonials, whichyou can borrow from the sales page. It can also contain your own experience about the product. You can use before/after situations for describing the benefits of the product. You can use photographs of yourself using the product successfully. Thisadds instant credibility to the product you want to promote.Step 3>When the visitors reach your landing page you must havea system to capture their names and email addresses. Because as I said earlier there are many people who look for similar4-5 products before buying. By capturing email addresse you can"follow up" your subscribers later on using newsletters orproduct features using email autoresponders.The best way to capture email addresses is to provide a free gift related to the product. This free gift can bean eBook written by you or many webmasters already have anebook written for the affiliates. SO again this is a very importan tpoint, join only those programs where you will find a decent promitional material already prepared for the affiliates.That's it friends.

3 Keys To Success With Your Affiliate Program
by: Andy Murray
Copyright 2005 Andy MurrayAffiliate programs (also called Referral Programs or Partnership Programs) are essentially commission-based sales schemes. Joining an affiliate program is a neat way to make money from your users. But just as you can join someone else's affiliate program, so you can set up your own program and invite webmasters to sign up. Here are my top 3 tips to succeed with your own affiliate program. 1. How to attract affiliates One of the biggest fears new Affiliate managers have is in finding new affiliates. This fear is a stumbling block that stops many site owners from getting started with affiliate marketing. Interestingly, with a proper marketing strategy, getting affiliates may not be very difficult. Given below are some tips that may help in attracting new affiliates.Find complimentary sites - "Complementary" sites are sites that sell products or services that compliment your offers. If you sell "gardening tools", a site that sells books on "gardening tips" would be a perfect affiliate. Find content sites - There are many sites that do not sell any kind of product or service but are mainly content oriented sites. Such sites promote an idea, concept, study or belief. Content sites that are used as a resource for your target market are ideal affiliates.Finally, there are several sites on the Internet dedicated to listing affiliate Programs. Get your program listed in these directories.2. Classifying Affiliates for Better ManagementThe hardest part of administrating an Affiliate Program is deciding what your affiliates need to help make the sale. But, by carefully categorizing your affiliates, you can easily determine what their needs are and how to accurately meet them. The first step is to pick at least three types of affiliate. Take a look at your affiliates and try to determine one outstanding characteristic that can easily be compared across the board and choose at least three types of the characteristic.The Second Step is to determine the needs of each type. Each of your affiliate types will have different needs; some of their needs will overlap, but you should find a distinct difference in many of their needs. If you find that all of them have the same needs, go back to step one and re-think your types.The Third Step involves the process of creating and compiling linking methods for each group of affiliates. Based on the needs you identified in Step two, create and compile linking methods for each type. 3. Safe Guarding Against SpamAny time you run a program where your affiliates rely on other signups to generate profits, you will eventually have a problem with spam. One of your affiliates will inevitably get it into their head to blitz the Web with unwanted garbage. When this happens you need to be ready to take action otherwise it will cost you! Your Internet company can boot you off your server and you can find yourself blacklisted. Not good for business. If you get an email from someone claiming they received spam with your URL, then take it as an early warning. I am not advising you to immediately terminate the affiliate's account, but be sure to contact them to follow up on the complaint. Let your affiliate know you received a complaint and advise them to remove this person from their list. If you only get one or two complaints, it's probably not spam, the complainants might simply have signed up for an email list and forgotten all about it. You will know when one of your affiliates is spamming, because you will get anywhere from 10 to 100 complaints in the same day all regarding the same URL. The best thing to do in this case is to immediately terminate or disable the account of the affiliate URL that was spammed.Running your own affiliate program can become an extrememly profitable venture for your business. You can recruit a HUGE sales force promoting your products for you, and ONLY pay them when you make a sale!
