The bundle that’ll help you learn the skills that’ll make you better prepared for everything businesses are expecting from you.

Whether you simply want to learn how to make your first $ Dollar or $1,000 online or more than this, create streams of passive income or build your own online business empire, Online Business from Scratch will help you turn your dream of starting an online business into reality.

How I Got Started?

For many years my life was in the corporate world.

I worked in Digital Marketing, was in the digital marketing business and got involved in a number of technology start-ups.

But I was so burned out dealing with the complexities of businesses with lots of people and other things over which I had no control, that I decided to look at starting my own Internet business.

Like you, I had heard all kinds of fantastic claims about people making $19,487 in three weeks or $150,000 per year working part time.

That got my attention, but knowing the business world as well as I do, I found these claims VERY HARD to swallow.

Looking for What Works So prior to making the decision to start an online business, I spent the better part of a year reading, studying and researching.

I wanted to find out what really worked for the people who succeeded and to discover why so many people FAILED. I spent a lot of time surfing and visiting sites.

FREE TRAINING: "How to Earn a 6-Figure Side-Income Online"

I bought and read a lot of Books. I bought courses on how to market on the Internet.

I interviewed successful internet marketers. And I spent $5,000 on Big Seminars where I met some heavy hitters.

Being Overwhelmed At first I WAS OVERWHELMED. There was so much to learn, and there were so many different stories about how to succeed.

Everybody had a different idea about what worked and what didn’t.

AND there was tons more to understand about marketing and selling on the Internet.

Affiliate programs, traffic generation, conversion ratios, search engines, shopping carts, merchant accounts, and on and on.

It seemed endless.

Taking the Plunge Finally… I just decided to take the plunge, knowing that I would learn more in the water than watching from the beach.

So I bought a small Internet business, a free traffic exchange. It was a bit bumpy at the start but that site is now doing almost $500 a month in revenues.

And it only requires a few people to run it.

Bottom line: with all my study, research, interviews, cold hard cash and hands-on experience (including a bunch of mistakes) I’ve uncovered…

THREE SECRETS “GET-RICH-QUICK” BOOKS DON’T TELL YOU. 1) Most of the claims people make are in fact true!

BUT… what they don’t tell you is that IT TOOK THEM A YEAR – SOMETIMES TWO OR THREE YEARS -- BEFORE THEY MASTERED THE SKILLS to make $$$$$$$ in three weeks or $$$$$$$ working part time.

FREE TRAINING: "How to Earn a 6-Figure Side-Income Online"

2) ALL THE SUCCESSFUL PEOPLE LEARNED HOW TO MAKE MONEY BY FIRST LEARNING THE BASICS. Then they applied them to building one online business, then a second and a third and so on, until they had MULTIPLE-STREAMS OF INCOME. Once they figured out how to do it, they did it again and again. Just as you would never consider putting all your life savings into one stock, the same is true with online businesses.

3) And then I discovered THE BIGGEST SINGLE REASON PEOPLE FAIL. Each and every person I talked with about their failures had TRIED TO DO TOO MUCH, TOO SOON. They tried to master the technology, product development, marketing and selling all at once.

And IN EVERY CASE they were OVERWHELMED, FRUSTRATED and then…they CRASHED AND BURNED… long before they saw their first dollar.

The whole name of the game is for you to LEARN how to make money online.

You can easily do it, IF you’re willing to work at it for a couple of years because it will take your that long to learn how to make $5,000 or more, a year.

Remember one of the three secrets, it takes everybody that long. Keep remembering what I said up front.

This is NOT a GET RICH QUICK plan, this is GET RICH PLAN. The QUICK is what kills people…because they really get frustrated and angry when it doesn’t work right away and then they GIVE UP -- feeling they’ve failed.

Our approach may take a little longer but …it WORKS. Once you’ve mastered all three phases, you’ll have your own SIMPLE MONEY MACHINE. Then you build a second, then a third, fourth, thereby creating MULTIPLE STREAMS OF INCOME… until you make enough to retire!

FREE TRAINING: "How to Earn a 6-Figure Side-Income Online"

What’s really exciting about this strategy is that by reversing the process and including a “money model” with each step, you start making money right from the beginning.

And the MONEY is your constant reminder of what you need to focus on and what you need to LEARN. It’s a GREAT TEACHER. You’ll… LEARN MUCH FASTER… You’ll… BE MORE MOTIVATED & BE MORE CONFIDENT… IF… you’re EARNING… WHILE YOU’RE LEARNING. Who Is The Program For? The DIGITAL LIFESTYLE ENREPRENUER, program is designed for four types of people: 1) Those who have decided to start an Internet business, but don’t know where or how to begin; 2) Those who already have a website or online business that is NOT living up to their expectations, (everything you’ll learn here can be directly applied to your existing online business or Website); 3) Those who are looking for a job, have time on their hands, and would like to make some money while waiting for a new position.

4) Those who are currently employed and wish to begin developing a business where they have control in the event their job is outsourced. Almost anyone can learn to make a DIGITAL BUSINESS. Because you can just stay at one level and prefect those skills so until you reach your financial goals or keep moving to the next level as your skills and confidence grows.

Students, housewives, professional people, even kids are building DIGITAL BUSINESS. The Internet’s Different

FREE TRAINING: "How to Earn a 6-Figure Side-Income Online"

On the Internet, the medium is communications, the product is information, and the content is intellectual.

Anybody with a brain can play. All you need in order to start is: (1) a computer, (2) high-speed access to the Net, (3) the desire, (4) the willingness to learn, and (5) your HEAD. (While you don’t actually need a high-speed connection, you’ll want one so you don’t waste so much time waiting for things to happen while you’re working.) So what does all this mean to YOU? 1. You can start your business with LITTLE or NO CAPITAL. Unlike traditional businesses with hard assets, you don’t need to invest in building physical products, factories, inventory or stores.

Assuming you already have a computer and Web access, you can start with little or no capital.

Never before has it been possible to start a business with so LITTLE CAPITAL and still have the potential to make millions.

2. You can start your Internet business in your SPARE TIME. A Web business can be built by one person working at any time of the day or night. There’s no need to quit your day job before you’ve mastered the skills and built a new income base.

3. You don’t need EMPLOYEES. Most of the skills required for running an Internet business can be learned as you go. And to the extent that you do require the specialized skills of others, you can find these people on the Net and hire them as contractors, either by the job or by the hour.

FREE TRAINING: "How to Earn a 6-Figure Side-Income Online"

No need to worry about employees, insurance or benefits.

4. You can start and run the business from your HOME. Other businesses require a place where customers can come to purchase a product, a place to warehouse inventory, and offices to house a staff. But you can start your Internet business in the den, a spare bedroom or even a closet!

All of your customers arrive via the Internet and your inventory is on a hard disc in your computer.

5. You get to be your own BOSS. This is a great opportunity for those of you who want to take responsibility for yourselves and your future. You get to do things the way you want: work when you want, wear what you want and make as much as you want.

The sense of FREEDOM is fantastic!

6. You can build your business ANYWHERE in the world.

You can live and work wherever your heart desires you to be. You can start it where you are, build it up and then move to where you’ve always wanted to live.

Moving your business is as easy as carrying your laptop anywhere. All you need is a highspeed connection to the Internet.

7. You can go as FAST or SLOW as you want.

There’s no urgency to build a business in the next month.

Start simple, learn the basics, make some money, develop your skills and confidence and move at your own pace.

The only pressure is the pressure you create for yourself.

Never before has it been so easy to start a business, with no capital, and that has the HUGE UPSIDE POTENTIAL that the Internet affords.

The leverage is enormous.

FREE TRAINING: "How to Earn a 6-Figure Side-Income Online"

You can now reach a world-wide market from your computer. And it will be a few years before this window of opportunity closes.

As more and more people discover the Net’s potential, the profitable market niches will get filled by those who get off their butts and swing into ACTION. So Where Do You Start?

I’ve talked about what a fantastic financial opportunity the Internet is.

Hundreds of thousands of people make all or some portion of their living from one or more DIGITAL LIFESTYLE ENTREPREUR BUSINESS. What we’ve not talked about is…YOU. DIGITAL ENTREPREUR BUSINESS is built by people like YOU. However, there are three characteristics successful DIGITAL ENTREPREUR BUSINESS has.

Do you have these characteristics…or are you willing to develop them?

1) You’re DECISIVE and TAKE ACTION. YOU will not create your first Money Machine, much less the second and third, until you decide to take ACTION. It’s a lot of fun to dream about having money, but money doesn’t come to people who don’t see the opportunities in front of them and TAKE ACTION. You have to identify an OBJECTIVE, develop a PLAN and then start to WORK. 2) You’re NOT AFRAID to make mistakes and you’re quick to fix them.

YOU must be willing to experiment, to try something, and if it doesn’t work, try something else and keep trying…until you figure it out.

The Internet is still in its infancy. And it’s changing rapidly. It’s in a very dynamic growth phase. There are no hard and fast rules. There are only guidelines.

FREE TRAINING: "How to Earn a 6-Figure Side-Income Online"

What worked yesterday may no longer work tomorrow…and vice versa. So YOU must be open to change, willing to experiment and not get discouraged when it doesn’t work the first time.

As someone wise once said, “We don’t learn from our successes, we learn from our failures.” Since so many variables have to work right for success, it’s not possible to make a list of the reasons.

But it’s usually pretty easy to see what didn’t work and why.

3) You’re WILLING TO INVEST BOTH TIME AND MONEY IN LEARNING. Because the Internet is so new and changing so fast, the most successful people spend a lot of time and money on their CONTINUING EDUCATIONS. They constantly read books, both for new information and for motivation. They often read the same books multiple times to keep pounding the information home. They invest in courses and seminars.

They spend time with other successful people looking for new ideas and better ways of doing things. So don’t think that by reading and studying this book alone you’re going to get rich.

Though you don’t have to spend $3,000, you must be willing to read three books on the same subject just to get different perspectives. And you’re willing to re-read the same book five times to make sure you got it all, and you start hanging out at seminars with the gurus.

Then you’re on your way.

There are no shortcuts to success.

That’s why Get-Rich-Quick books don’t work.

This book will only work if…YOU work IT. Still with me?

If so, let’s get to work….

Affiliate marketing is when you get paid a commission for referring customers to purchase someone else's product or service?

It's a very easy way of making money, simply because you don't have to do any of the work in creating the product or service.

The only thing that you have to do is provide the visitors and traffic to someone else's website and then they do the rest.

MUST READ -> Why Affiliate Marketing Is Good For You? The vendor that you're promoting will have the website, sales page, product, customer

FREE TRAINING: "How to Earn a 6-Figure Side-Income Online"

support, etc‌ and basically just pay you a commission for every sale that you generate for them.

Everything is tracked through a unique link that the vendor will give you, so you get credit for every sale you generate for the vendor.

The key to making reliable, repeatable money as an affiliate is to find a product that is in high demand, pays a good commission to you, and is backed by a company that takes care of their customers.

That means finding the perfect affiliate products to promote.

You also want to work with the best affiliate marketing programs that have good reputations, and that work very diligently marketing to your prospects, so that they do a lot of the hard sales work for you.

So, What Is Affiliate Marketing All About?

A simple definition for affiliate marketing is: Affiliate marketing is one of the most popular ways people make money online. It is a strategy where an individual partners with a business in order to make a commission by referring readers or visitors to a business’s particular product or service. But that really is quite a simple explanation. To be really successful at making money with affiliate marketing there is a little more to it.

Affiliate Marketing is a performance-based marketing system that basically involves four distinct elements: the merchant, the affiliate, the consumer and the network.

1. The merchant, also known as a seller or retailer, is an individual or a business that sells a product or provides a service. The merchant and affiliate marketer collaborates to promote the products and services.

2. The affiliate is (or can be) an individual who promotes products and services and gets commission on each sale. The affiliate works with the merchant to promote the merchant’s

FREE TRAINING: "How to Earn a 6-Figure Side-Income Online"

products and services. The affiliate creates marketing campaigns that use ads, links and banners to find buyers for the merchant’s products and services.

3. The consumer, can be all of us. In affiliate marketing, the consumer is a person who uses goods or services to satisfy his or her needs.

The network, also called program or platform, acts as an intermediary between the merchant and the affiliate. The network is completely digital and requires varying levels of involvement from both the merchant and affiliate.

2. How Much Money Can You Make From Affiliate Marketing?

As far as the amount of money you can make, the sky is the limit. There are affiliate marketers who quietly make thousands of dollars per month and more. We’re not talking just a handful of affiliates here either.

This is a business that rewards effort.

The more time, effort and resources you put into your affiliate marketing business, the better your chances of earning a significant income.

Basically, you get rewarded for referring customers to someone else.

How cool is that?

If you’re a beginner who wants to learn how to make money from affiliate marketing, then this is THE place to be!

In this STEP, I’m gonna walk you through the 4 essential steps from a newbie perspective for not only building an affiliate marketing business from scratch, but also generating a fulltime income that grows exponentially month-after-month.

Sound awesome to you?

FREE TRAINING: "How to Earn a 6-Figure Side-Income Online"

However, please do bear one thing in mind – it’s gonna take a lot of hard work if you want a 4 or 5-figure monthly income. Some affiliates even make as much as 6 figures PER MONTH!!!

YEP, you better believe it!

The most successful online business owners may have a wealth of experience under their belts, but like you, they started out with little to no knowledge on internet and affiliate marketing.

They simply learned what to do, knuckled down, and put the time into building an empire.

In addition, they made sacrifices – none of this sofa, snack bowl and JUST SURFING FACEBOOK. Work like a donkey, first. Chill out time, second.

That’s the secret formula to success. If they can do it – you sure as hell can! I believe in YOU. But before you start your new adventure in the land of affiliate marketing, it’s important to write down your financial and non-financial goals on paper because it will fuel your journey across cyberspace to success.

For more help, read my article on creating an affiliate marketing business plan. Are your goals and plan set?

Now, let’s look at the main criteria for a successful biz… #1 PASSION – WHAT INSPIRES YOU? 1) What hobby or interest do you have during your spare time?

2) What are you insanely passionate about?

3) What do you love doing that you’d love to share with others?

Pick just one thing.

FREE TRAINING: "How to Earn a 6-Figure Side-Income Online"

When it comes to affiliate marketing, you must start with a passion for 2 very simple reasons.

• It will be your direction online.

• You need something fun.

If you’re working on something that you don’t enjoy, how successful do you reckon you’ll be, huh?

Not very. Choose the wrong interest, and it will feel like working a 2nd mundane “JOB” lol.

Your passion is your starting point, and will be the “niche market” you’ll be focusing on, going forward on the web. I’ve found that the most successful affiliates are also the most passionate ones.

So it’s important that you get this step right from the very beginning. #2 WEBSITE – LAY YOUR FOUNDATION In today’s fast-growing internet marketing world, blogging is the best and most popular way to publish content, recommend products and services, and above all, build your own brand.

3. How Affiliate Marketing Works?

FREE TRAINING: "How to Earn a 6-Figure Side-Income Online"

With affiliate marketing you typically have a website, like the www.edoup.com site you can see below.

FREE TRAINING: "How to Earn a 6-Figure Side-Income Online"

FREE TRAINING: "How to Earn a 6-Figure Side-Income Online"

Now you don’t actually need a website – there are loads of different ways to do affiliate marketing and some of them don’t even involve owning a website – but most affiliates prefer to have their own digital real estate.

It’s also the method teach here at Master Digital Marketing, because there's so much more potential to build a brand, and grow an affiliate strategy that will profit you in the longer-term.

On your website you talk about different affiliate products – recommend them to readers, give detailed reviews, and make comparisons and so on.

You’ll have a special link, known as an affiliate link, for every product that you’re promoting. Affiliate links have tracking in them to make sure that you get credited with every sale you make.

When someone clicks your affiliate link, then the merchant knows it was you who sent the customer.

Let me stress that affiliate links don’t affect the customer at all… they don’t pay more, they don’t miss out on anything, and they will most likely never know that they purchased through an affiliate link.

All it means is that when a customer buys something within a certain time period after clicking on your affiliate link, you get the commission.

So the big goal of affiliate marketing is to get as many people as possible click on your links and visiting merchant pages; the more people that click on your affiliate links, the more chances you have of a sale occurring and earning a commission.

In the Master Digital Marketing lessons, we cover loads of different ways of getting traffic! Some of these methods are paid, such as PPC (pay-per-click) advertising, and some are free, like SEO (search engine optimization) but take a little more time and

FREE TRAINING: "How to Earn a 6-Figure Side-Income Online"

effort on your part.

You can find more information on both of these traffic methods in "introduction to PPC" and "introduction to SEO." If this all seems a bit overwhelming, don’t panic. Getting started with affiliate marketing is actually really easy.

CLICK here To Get this COURSE These exciting video lessons will get you started on the right foot, and teach you the basics of affiliate marketing.

Most importantly, you need to take action. The most successful affiliate marketers are those who do, rather than those who think about doing.

Take what you learn from Master Digital Marketing and start working hard. You might not get it right the first time, but the experience is what really counts when you are learning affiliate marketing. You will hone your skills and abilities over time, so don’t sweat the fine points!

If you want to get it right the first time, and then you need to try AffiloBlueprint. It’s our exclusive step-by-step blueprint for building profitable affiliate sites to a proven formula.

4. What Does An Affiliate Marketer Actually Do? An affiliate marketer promotes one or multiple products and/or services, and works to attract interested potential customers who may, or may not, go on to make purchases.

If a purchase is made as a result of a customer clicking through to an offer via the affiliate marketer’s link, the affiliate marketer will be due a commission from the seller.

Is Affiliate Marketing A Passive Business Model?

FREE TRAINING: "How to Earn a 6-Figure Side-Income Online"

It is absolutely possible for this business model to eventually generate passive income for you, once the hard work has been put in at the start.

And it’s like everything else in this life…the more effort you put in, the more success you will enjoy, and conversely, neglect will undoubtedly show up in your results before too long.

In broad outline, there are 8 steps to follow: 1. Choose a potential niche 2. Check for a decent amount of keywords around the niche, both short-tail and longtail 3. Check there are good products/services in that niche that you can genuinely recommend (and that will be profitable) 4. Research your niche for indications of it being a good buyer’s market without excessive competition 5. Build a high-quality website around your niche, the days of throwing up trash micro-sites are long gone 6. Attract targeted visitors to your website (organically and/or through PPC ads) 7. Build an email list from the visitors to your website 8. Make affiliate sales either directly off your website or with follow-ups to your email list (earning an income) “ If you are truly serious about making an ongoing income from affiliate marketing, I would strongly suggest that you follow the guidelines below from day one: 1. Only recommend products/services that you know and understand well — do not promote stuff that you cannot genuinely recommend.

2. Simply recommend products/services based on your experience – try to avoid telling people to make a purchase.

Try and keep this at the front of your mind: MUST READ -> 9 Myths About Affiliate Marketing Are your recommendations likely to help people?

If the answer is yes, then it’s all good.

FREE TRAINING: "How to Earn a 6-Figure Side-Income Online"

If not, find another niche where what you can offer to potential product buyers will be helpful.

Let’s take a closer look at the critical first step…

Choosing A Niche Undoubtedly one of the most important steps when starting out is finding and deciding on the right niche for you.

What will your site be about?

Who will it be for?

The first three steps noted further above are all about selecting and qualifying a niche that is right for you.

Get this part wrong and you will have nothing to sell and no market to sell to.

Start by thinking about what interests you!

What do you like doing? What excites you, or at least interests you?

Don’t get me wrong here; I’m not saying your chosen niche has to be a passion. It absolutely doesn’t.

But it does need to be something you find interesting enough to build a website about. If you come up with a potential niche idea but the thought of spending hours researching and producing content about it bores you, it’s probably not the niche for you.

Anyway, possible niches… …these could be absolutely anything…and I really do mean anything, try this lot on for size: how to become an actor, how to be a better DJ, muscle building, great fitness in middle-age, best vacuum cleaners, cake decorating, home schooling, virtual worker advice, career change,

FREE TRAINING: "How to Earn a 6-Figure Side-Income Online"

Don’t rush this part, but equally don’t make the mistake of looking for the “perfect niche” and end up spending all of your time on this part, without ever getting your site up and running.

Ideally, you’d want to promote products that you’ve used and benefited from yourself, and as long as there is an affiliate program available for them, you can do exactly that.

If choosing the right niche is like building the engine of your car, the next phase is all about the putting in the chassis and frame.

5. How To Get Started As An Affiliate Marketer?

The internet is your playground. Just remember to play by your strengths, do something that you like to do, something that you are good at.

A Deals and Coupons Website Online shopping is only getting bigger by the day, and one of the reasons it is spreading so wildly is the low prices available online. This gave rise to the concept of deals and discounts

FREE TRAINING: "How to Earn a 6-Figure Side-Income Online"

aggregator sites. You can start a deals and discounts site too; it is the most direct and easiest way to be an affiliate marketer.

Online Community You can start a community bringing together people interested in a particular subject like writing, fashion, technology, etc. This makes the site a dynamic store house of information, and converting members into customers becomes much easier.

[DesiDime.com is an online shopping community] A Social Media Page Be it Facebook, Twitter, Google Plus, Instagram, Snapchat, Pinterest, et al.; if you have a strong presence, following and influence in any of the social media channels, you can make it a source of your income through affiliate marketing.

Price Comparison Site: Online shopping has made instant price comparison easier than ever. You can simply give people a platform where they can see all the prices offered by various stores of a single product/ service, to help them grab the best one.

Online Review Site: Another factor that has played an important part in adoption of online shopping is firsthand reviews of products and services online. You may start reviewing various products and services for people, make recommendations and earn affiliate commission on them.

However, make sure that your reviews are genuinely helping people make informed buying decisions. Reviewing things that you actually use or relate to is the best way to establish an authority and convince people to buy something. This is called involved affiliate marketing.

Online Guide: Are you passionate about coding?

Do you understand make-up better than others?

Develop your expertise and share your knowledge with people.

Micro Niche Website Creating a high-quality website/ blog on a specific subject rather than a broad category, is much more profitable because such sites attract quality targeted traffic, and they convert into customers better than un-targeted traffic.

[Love That Pet only talks about pets and their needs] The best thing about niche sites are that once you have done the hard work, you can keep earning from it without having to constantly worry about keeping the site evergreen.

Product Discovery Site The internet is full of unique, niche, and never-seen-before products waiting to be discovered. The inventory of uncommon artifacts is so large that you can build a website around helping people discover such interesting products, while earning a commission on them.

[Take My Paycheck helps people discover bizarre products online] Today, online content has metamorphosed completely and any form of valuable content like photographs, montages, videos; can be a great source, which can be monetized easily with affiliate partnerships.

These are some primary ways of going online and getting started as an affiliate marketer.

Once you become more familiarized with the concept, you can even consider some of these advanced ways to make money as an affiliate marketer: Media Buying It is exactly like traditional media buying, only online. Media buying is buying advertising space (like banner ads) on a website or network of websites for a set budget and period of time. You can then promote various offers on these advertising banners for affiliate commission.

FREE TRAINING: "How to Earn a 6-Figure Side-Income Online"

For e.g. if you buy advertising banners on a network of skin care blog and websites, you can promote a number skin care or beauty product offers through it. The commission for this is usually on the basis of how many times the ads were seen by a customer or how many customers signed up via the ad.

Some of the niches in which affiliate marketers are making great money via media buying are dating, languages, weight loss, adults, and skin care.

However, this method needs a slightly higher investment, at least of around $500 to $1000, to get started.

Search Engine Marketing (SEM) / Pay Per Click Advertising (PPC) When you buy ad space from Google and Bing, and use it to promote various offers for affiliate commission, it is called Search Engine Marketing or SEM. Google AdWords is the most popular paid search platform used by search marketers, followed by Bing Ads and Yahoo Search Ads. When people search for something on Google or other search engines, you can display your ads among the other (organic or unpaid) search results through Pay Per Click. PPC is a model of advertising in which you only pay the search engine when someone clicks on your ad, irrespective of how many times the ad was shown.

PPC is available on auction basis i.e. marketers bid on various keywords and search phrases, then the search engine platforms choose the best bidder depending on the relevancy, validity and other quality aspects of the ad and give their ad a prominent place in the search results.

Email Marketing Email marketing is using email to promote products/ services/ offers.

If you have a stockpile of email id’s, you can easily become an affiliate marketer by promoting your affiliate campaigns via emails sent out to those potential customers.

FREE TRAINING: "How to Earn a 6-Figure Side-Income Online"

E.g. of you have a beauty blog then you can ask your visitors to sign up for a weekly/ daily offers newsletter, and then you can promote various offers on beauty products through those emails.

Email marketing is one of the most inexpensive and easiest ways to advertise offers.

At the end of the day, above-and-beyond the types of affiliates I’ve outlined merchants need to consider how each affiliate drives traffic to promote their offers to ensure they’re compliant and playing by the rules.

6. How Do Affiliate Marketers Get Paid?

A quick and inexpensive method of making money without the hassle of actually selling a product, affiliate marketing has an undeniable draw for those looking to increase their income online.

But how does an affiliate get paid after linking the seller to the consumer? The answer is complicated. The consumer doesn’t always need to buy the product for the affiliate to get a kickback.

Depending on the program, the affiliate’s contribution to the seller’s sales will be measured differently. The affiliate may get paid in various ways: 1. Pay Per Sale.

This is the standard affiliate marketing structure. In this program, the merchant pays the affiliate a percentage of the sale price of the product after the consumer purchases the product as a result of the affiliate’s marketing strategies.

In other words, the affiliate must actually get the investor to invest in the product before they are compensated.

2. Pay Per Lead.

A more complex system, this program compensates the affiliate based on the conversion of

FREE TRAINING: "How to Earn a 6-Figure Side-Income Online"

leads. The affiliate must persuade the consumer to visit the merchant’s website and complete the desired action — whether it’s filling out a contact form, signing up for a trial of a product, subscribing to a newsletter, or downloading software or files.

3. Pay Per Click.

This program focuses on incentivizing the affiliate to redirect consumers from their marketing platform to the merchant’s website. This means the affiliate must engage the consumer to the extent that they will move from the affiliate’s site to the merchant’s site.

The affiliate is then paid based on the increase in web traffic.

7. Why Be An Affiliate Marketer?

1. Passive Income While any “regular” job requires you to be at work to make money, affiliate marketing offers you the ability to make money while you sleep. By investing an initial amount of time into a campaign, you will see continuous returns on that time as consumers purchase the

FREE TRAINING: "How to Earn a 6-Figure Side-Income Online"

product over the following days and weeks.

You receive money for your work long after you’ve finished it. Even when you’re not in front of your computer, your marketing skills will be earning you a steady flow of income.

2. No Customer Support.

Individual sellers and companies offering products or services have to deal with their consumers and ensure they are satisfied with what they have purchased.

Thanks to the affiliate marketing structure, you’ll never have to be concerned with customer support or customer satisfaction. The entire job of the affiliate marketer is to link the seller with the consumer.

The seller deals with any consumer complaints after you receive your commission from the sale.

3. Work From Home.

If you’re someone who hates going to the office, affiliate marketing is the perfect solution.

You’ll be able to launch campaigns and receive revenue from the products that sellers create while working from the comfort of your own home.

This is a job you can do without ever getting out of your pajamas.

4. Cost Effective.

Most businesses require startup fees as well as a cash flow to finance the products being sold. However, affiliate marketing can be done at a low cost, meaning you can get started quickly and without much hassle.

There are no affiliate program fees to worry about and no need to create a product.

Beginning this line of work is relatively straightforward.

5. Convenient And Flexible.

Since you’re essentially a freelancer, you get ultimate independence in setting your own goals, redirecting your path when you feel so inclined, choosing the products that interest

FREE TRAINING: "How to Earn a 6-Figure Side-Income Online"

This convenience means you can diversify your portfolio if you like or focus solely on simple and straightforward campaigns. You’ll also be free from company restrictions and regulations as well as ill-performing teams.

6. Performance-Based Rewards.

With other jobs, you could work an 80-hour week and still earn the same salary. Affiliate marketing is purely based on your performance. You’ll get from it what you put into it.

Honing your reviewing skills and writing engaging campaigns will translate to direct improvements in your revenue. You’ll finally get paid for the outstanding work you do!

7. You Gain Professional Independence Why is affiliate marketing the best thing for you?    

8. What To Consider When Applying To Affiliate Programs?

1. Passive Income Before you throw yourself headlong into the marketing activities that will dominate most of your time as an affiliate, it’s critical that you select a good market in which to exercise your marketing skill.

Whether you use affiliate marketing to add an extra funding stream to your website or it’s your main source of income, finding the best programs to promote is crucial for success.

FREE TRAINING: "How to Earn a 6-Figure Side-Income Online"

With so much to choose from, this may initially seem a daunting task but with a little guidance, selecting quality affiliate programs shouldn’t be as challenging as you think.

Not all products with affiliate programs are profitable and even the best marketing efforts can wasted if the program isn’t attractive to visitors, or doesn’t pay out a good commission.

Your next step is clear: it’s time to apply to some affiliate programs.

There are endless options when it comes to affiliate programs and networks, and it’s important to make sure that you apply to ones that make sense for you.

Many new affiliate marketers get started and try to apply to every single one, but this is a rookie mistake. You’ll be putting in a lot of effort to get set up on those sites, and not all of them will even suit you and your audience.

So before you go through the application process and sign up for every affiliate program available, make sure to consider a few important things first.

FREE TRAINING: "How to Earn a 6-Figure Side-Income Online"

1. Promoting Products With Good Market Acceptance When promoting a product, research it first. Do a quick search online and look for people’s opinions about this product.

Promoting products that have poor market acceptance can damage the image of your website.

If a product is well-accepted, it will give you a better chance of sales, because people have a greater tendency to trust quality products.

2. Promote Products Related To Your Web Content The next tip I can give is perhaps the most important for a good converting affiliate. It’s important that your readers identify the product with the theme of your site.

If your website is about mobile phones and applications, you can promote an affiliate program about cooking, but you probably won’t reach the same success as if you promoted a program related to mobile phones or technology.

3. Be The Client Of The Product You Promote The best way for you to certify the quality of a product is to be a customer yourself. In some cases, this will not be feasible, because of the costs involved in purchasing the product.

4. Good Commissions Are An Incentive When we promote an affiliate program, we have a very clear intention: to make money online.

Thus, commissions paid by affiliate programs are one of the most important factors in analyzing the program. If you consider the commission fair and motivating, surely this will give you extra motivation in promoting the program.

5. Promotional Materials Will Boost Sales Before choosing an affiliate program, it’s important to check the promotional materials you get to promote the product.

FREE TRAINING: "How to Earn a 6-Figure Side-Income Online"

The most common methods are banners, but there may be other methods like sending ready-made text in a newsletter, for example product reviews or even publications optimized for sharing in social networks.

6. Permissions For Product Promotion Some affiliate programs have special conditions for promoting a product. For example, certain affiliate programs don’t allow you to create campaigns on Facebook for selling a product.

Therefore, affiliates who run large Facebook fan pages won’t be interested in joining any affiliate program with such restrictions.

Other programs may not allow you to create email campaigns or to create campaigns in Google AdWords.

7. The Importance Of Long-Term Gain Earning money by promoting a good affiliate program in the long term is a factor sometimes overlooked. But this should not be the case.

If you plan to have regular earnings for a period of time (and not just a short-term gain), it’s crucial to see if affiliate programs offer commission when the customer renews the product you recommended.

8. Available Payment Methods For you to earn money to disclose affiliate programs, it is essential that people buy the service you recommend. And that will only happen if the product has the right payment methods available to most people.

9. Affiliate Networks Are An Extra Advantage Many affiliate programs work in a multilevel network. This means when someone registers and you earn the affiliate commission and if that affiliate advertises the service and other affiliates register, you will receive a percentage of those sales.

FREE TRAINING: "How to Earn a 6-Figure Side-Income Online"

In some affiliate programs, you can attract many affiliates who then have their own affiliate network, and you will receive part of the profits they received from their affiliates in their own network.

When you are choosing a product, how much you can earn is important, but you will find you are most successful with the programs that you are genuinely passionate about.

When you sell something you care about, your customer can tell.

This can be one of the most important choices of all - do you love the product?

To recap, they are: - Understand your blog’s niche.

- Start with a list of products you currently use.

- Research your potential affiliates using popular marketplaces.

Affiliate marketing is not a “set it and forget it” type of business.

It’s a continuous optimization work, and this strategy gives you the tools to do just that.

Optimize for success.

CPM is usually referred to the number of clicks registered in a website by the readers. Ad Networks, such as AdSense, calculate ad revenue for websites based on CPM. 2. CTR: Click-Through Rate This is a way of measuring the success of an online advertising campaign. A CTR is a percentage obtained by dividing the number of users who clicked on an ad on a web page by the number of times the ad was delivered (impressions).

For example, if a banner ad was delivered 100 times (100 impressions) and one person clicked on it (clicks recorded), then the resulting CTR would be 1 percent and be displayed as 1.00.

Let me explain you it in more details. Suppose you have put one ad on your blog and it appears to your visitor 100 times a day and 3 people click on it then your CTR will be 3% or 0.03 If 10 people out of 10000 impressions of ads are clicking on ads then your CTR will be 0.1% or 0.001 CTR Calculation formula (Number of Clicks / Number of impressions) x 100 So if number of impression is 100000 and number of click is 1000 then CTR will be

CTR = (1000/100000) * 100 = 1% 3. CPA: Cost Per Action Or Cost Per Acquisition Advertising is performance based and is common in the affiliate marketing sector of the business. In this payment scheme, the publisher takes all the risk of running the ad, and the advertiser pays only for the amount of users who complete a transaction, such as a purchase or sign-up.

For example, action can be of any type, it may be filling out a form on destination website or joining e-mail list at destination websites etc.

CPA refers to any campaign where a value is assigned to the acquisition of a lead, sale, subscription, or any predefined “action”.

CPA is most commonly used in affiliate marketing when discussing campaigns that are paying for sales.

This is the best type of rate to pay for banner advertisements and the worst type of rate to charge.

4. CPC: Cost Per Click This is a payment option that compensates a publisher whenever their referred customers click on a link for an advertiser's offer. CPC is also an internet-marketing formula used to price banner ads.

Google adsense is famous example of it.

Some advertisers will pay publishers based on the number of times a banner is clicked.

5. CPS : Cost Per Sale CPS refers to any campaign where an advertiser pays an affiliate for each sale that their traffic produces. If an advertisers’ product sells for $100, they are often willing to pay a

large percentage of each sale that an affiliate generates.

For example, a purchase in a web shop The thought process behind the CPS model is that there is little to no risk for the advertiser, as they are not paying for leads or clicks to their product.

They are only paying a preset value for each sale, and thus do not have to worry about converting leads into sales, or clicks into leads and then those leads into sales. Since quality issues arise fairly infrequently on the CPS model, the main factor determine pay increases for traffic is volume of sales produced.

6. CPL : Cost per Lead.

CPL is an affiliate network’s favorite model to work with. When advertisers purchase leads, they are inherently taking a risk that they can offset lead costs with product sales on their backend.

For example, an advertiser may purchase leads for $5.00 per lead, and sell their product for $100. In order to break even on their lead costs, they will need 1 sale for every 20 leads.

For example, a newsletter subscription Since purchasing leads is typically performance based, if an affiliate can do strong volume with high quality traffic, the advertiser will pay more for the leads.

7. CPI: Cost Per Install The CPI model is a very interesting one. It refers primarily to app install offers.

The advertiser or app owner will pay the affiliate each time a new user installs an App onto their smart phone, tablet, or sometimes desktop.

Often times, the acquisition includes the install, and then the user opening the app for the first time. This model has become gradually more popular as mobile apps have exploded in popularity!

The Bottom Line Although the most popular online advertising model is CPC because of search engines, which one is actually best depends on the ad platform and other factors.

CPMs work best for the publisher because they provide a guaranteed and predictable stream of revenue over the course of the agreement.

CPCs work better than CPMs for the advertisers because they pay only for results in the form of clicks. They represent a higher risk to the publisher.

CPAs work best of all for advertisers because they pay for actual results in the form of either leads or transactions. They represent the highest risk to the publisher.

I hope this helped you to understand the basic terms.
