A Day In The Life Of An Affiliate Marketer Being in the affiliate marketing business is not that hard now with the internet at your disposable. It is much easier now compared to the days when people have to make use of the telephones and other mediums of information just to get the latest updates on the way their program is coming along. So with technology at hand, and assuming that the affiliate is working from home, a day in his or her life would sound something like this… Upon waking up and after having breakfast, the computer is turned on to check out new developments in the network. As far as the marketer is concerned there might be new things to update and statistics to keep track on. The site design has to be revised. The marketer knows that a welldesigned site can increase sign ups from visitors. It can also help in the affiliate’s conversion rates. That done, it is time to submit the affiliate program to directories that lists affiliate programs. These directories are means to attract people in joining your affiliate program. A sure way of promoting the affiliate program. Time to track down the sales you are getting from your affiliates fairly and accurately. There are phone orders and mails to track down. See if they are new clients checking the products out. Noting down the contact information that might be a viable source in the future. There are lots of resources to sort out. Ads, banners, button ads and sample recommendations to give out because the marketer knows that this is one way of ensuring more sales. Best to stay visible and accessible too. The affiliate marketer remembered that there are questions to answer from the visitors. This has to be done quickly. Nothing can turn off a customer than an unanswered email. To prove that the affiliate is working effectively and efficiently, inquiries would have to be paid more attention on. Nobody wants to be ignored and customers are not always the most patient of all people. Quick answer that should appear professional yet friendly too. In the process of doing all the necessities, the marketer is logged on to a chat room where he or she interacts with other affiliates and those under

that same program. This is where they can discuss things on how to best promote their products. There are things to be learned and it is a continuous process. Sharing tips and advices is a good way of showing support. There may be others out there wanting to join and may be enticed by the discussion that is going on. There is no harm in assuming what opportunities ahead. The newsletters and ezines were updated days ago, so it is time for the affiliate marketer to see if there are some new things happening in the market. This will be written about in the marketer’s publication to be distributed to the old and new customers. These same publications are also an important tool in keeping up to date with the newly introduced products. The marketer has put up a sale and promotion that customers may want to know about. Besides, they have to keep up with the deadline of these sales written in the publications. It is that time to show some appreciation to those who have helped the marketer in the promotions and sale increase. Nothing like mentioning the persons, their sites and the process they have done that made everything worked. Of course, this will be published in the newsletters. Among the more important information that have been written already. The marketer still has time to write out recommendations to those who want credible sources for the products being promoted. There is also time to post some comments on how to be a successful affiliate marketer on a site where there are lots of wannabees. Two objectives done at the same time. The marketer gets to promote the product as well as the program they are in. Who knows, someone may be inclined to join. Time flies. Missed lunch but is quite contented with the tasks done. Bed time…. Ok, so this may not be all done in a day. But then, this gives you an idea of how an affiliate marketer, a dedicated one that is, spends the marketing day. Is that success looming in the distance or what?

Affiliate Marketing And Home Business Many of us dream of being our own bosses. The lure of big money and flexible work hours is quite attractive. However, many are afraid to venture out on their own. They fear that they do not have the capital required to get a business started or they don’t want to lose the security of their day job. The solution could be starting a home business. The truth of the matter is that you can start your home business with no money at all. Ask yourself this, do you have a spare room or space in your house. Do you have a computer with an internet connection? Do you have a phone line? If you have these three things you have the essentials of an office from which your home business can be made. Affiliate marketing can be a great way for you to get started in your home business. Affiliate marketing will provide you with the opportunity to sell either a product or a service. With low capital and little space you may want to concentrate on services. Once you have made the decision, you need to evaluate your skills. What services can you offer and what skills can you bring. Many people start off with affiliate marketing programs from major search engines. If you’re good at website design, you could register your page with someone such as yahoo publisher. This way your site will get traffic with the help of the search engine Yahoo. If yours is a sales website, your traffic could translate into increased sales.

Affiliate Marketing and Pay Per Click Do you want to make more money? Do you want to turn that computer you spent so much money on into a cash cow? Well it is possible. It won’t happen overnight but with time and hard work you’ll soon be working from home if you choose. Do you currently have a website? Do you wonder why it isn’t making you any money? You keep posting great content, wonderful writing samples and articles but still your balance is zero. Well perhaps you need to expand your horizons. By signing up for pay per click affiliate sites you can soon see cash going into your account simply by maintaining your site. One of the most popular Pay per click programs is Google Adsense. Google Adsense will take care of the advertising for you. When you sign up, your site will have new advertisements and banner places in the open spaces. If anyone visits your site and clicks on one of the ads, you get a referral payment. Again, Google takes care of the ad placement allowing you to concentrate on increasing the traffic to your site. Joining a scheme such as Google Adsense is a good idea. They will help to promote your site and advise you on how to increase your traffic. If you have been maintaining your website for a while, you probably know that one of the best ways to attract traffic is through the use of keywords.

This will help maximize the key word usage and help get the correct one for the most traffic. Google does charge for this service so you need to be sure it is worth it before you buy. You don’t want all of your profits ate up by the ad words scheme. When you sign up for Google Adsense, you can be assured that page appropriate ads will be places on your webpage. If you have a pet care site then things related to that topic will be placed. Obscure and ads that have nothing to do with your page are not likely to impress your reader or increase your earnings. Google Adsense is only one example of search engines that offer a pay per click money making service. There are hundreds of others. One of the most notable is Yahoo publisher. It functions in much the same way as Google Adsense and offers a similar style of service. Which one you

choose will largely depend on you. If you have several sites, you could try both schemes. See which one is better and go with that one. If you have one or several web pages that just seem to be doing nothing, then look into a pay per click program. Sites such as Google Adsense and yahoo publisher will do most of the hard work for you. They will place the ads and decide which ads will be best for your site. This will leave you time to do the most important thing; increase your site traffic and eventually your ad revenue. If you have websites, look into pay per click.

the products. Affiliate marketing programs should try to help you as much as possible. They better you do the better they do. Finally, many times you need support and advice when you run a business.

Affiliate Marketing Resources Many of us would love to venture out on our own and work for ourselves. However, two major factors tend to get in the way. The first being money and the second being risk. These two factors should not be taken lightly. Even small businesses need a substantial amount of capital to get them started. The risk factor is even scarier. Up to 90% of all small businesses fail within the first year. Affiliate marketing takes the risk away. It can also be started with next to 0 money. Affiliate marketing can be quite a lucrative venture. If you have a natural knack for sales or marketing and are self-motivated and prepared to work hard then an affiliate marketing scheme could be a wise move for you. Almost daily, you see advertised, courses and seminars that claim to hold the secret of instant wealth. By attending this course you will have all of the tools you need to get your business off the ground and become a millionaire. Those who want to start their own affiliate marketing business often attend these thinking that they will help their business thrive. Courses and seminars more often than not, disappoint. First, these courses and seminars are usually quite expensive. You have the course or seminar fee. Plus any travel and hotel costs. Most of these are held in heavy tourist destinations around the country. Second, the person giving the seminar or course is usually on some kind of a promotional tour. While they do give out information at the course or seminar, their true goal is to sell you their latest book or software. The truth be told, everything you learned from that seminar was probably written in their book. You could have saved thousands if you had just bought their book and read it rather than shelling out for this course. While it is true that you should educate yourself in affiliate marketing, the best resources are not courses. However, books are. By simply reading up on affiliate marketing, you can gain wonderful insights and save loads of money. By simply looking on retail sites such as Amazon or EBay, you can get hundreds of titles on the subject.

THE 7 REPORTS: 7 Things You Need To Know About Affiliate Marketing
7 Quick Tips For Online Business 1. Take action. It’s not enough to purchase a product, read some report or book or watch some video or webinar. Nothing will happen until you take action. Just can’t finish a race if you don’t run. You can’t drive if you don’t start a car. You can’t make money if you don’t work. Period. Don’t jump from purchasing one product to purchasing another product without giving a try to what you have learned from that first product. Don’t delay your actions because you can’t move forward without them. You can’t achieve anything if you don’t act towards achieving it. Remember, nothing happens until you take action.
2. Have “to don’t” list. You need to have your “to do” list in order to make things done, but in the same way you should have your “to don’t do” list in order to save yourself some time, effort and energy. Your “to don’t” list should include things that can easily be outsourced to other people because you are either not good at performing those tasks, you find them boring (which can take you more time to complete them) or you have better things to do. Don’t waste your time on things that somebody else can do much faster and cheaper.
3. Time is money. Keep that on your mind. Time is money and your time is valuable. Don’t waste your time on tasks that you can outsource for a much smaller price that you would actually spend on it. Give some price to your time. Say to yourself that your hour is worth XX amount of dollars. Then act accordingly to that. If there is something you need to do that would take you XX number of hours, and you can outsource it for less that “XX hours × your hourly rate”, then outsource it and spend that XX number of hours more wisely.
4. Remove all distractions. When you work you should work and only work! Forget about television, forget about Facebook, forget about Twitter and emails, forget about

your spouse and kids – concentrate only on your work. Decide for how many hours per day you gonna work and then stick to the plan – without any distractions. If possible, work in chunks of 45 minutes then take 15 minutes breaks, and so on. But give your best to be fully concentrated on your work and don’t let anything distract you.
5. Improve your conversions. Many people are doing it wrong. They concentrate on getting more traffic and pumping it to their websites although their conversions are more than bad. However, they will put lot of effort into pumping more traffic and losing those visitors instead of trying to increase their conversion rates. If you are generating 100 visitors to your website daily, and getting only 10 subscribers, you shouldn’t think about how to increase number of visitors – you should think about how to improve conversion rates so you get 50 or more subscribers from those same 100 visitors. After all, that’s easier to achieve then doubling your traffic.
6. Focus on important things. In this business everything is important, from your domain name to the footers of your reports, but before you make everything perfect, which can be achieved over time, you should concentrate on important things. No one cares which software you are using to generate your reports, nor which microphone you are using. Your visitors care only about what you have to share with them, what’s inside your reports and what you have to say to them in your videos or podcasts. Concentrate on the content and your visitors – concentrate on important things.
7. How bad you want it? It’s a fact that you won’t succeed online if you don’t want it badly. Now, some people put lot of effort in this business because they are broke and this is their only chance to achieve something. Some people succeed because they simply love this business. Some people succeed because they have good connections or some other skills. But all of them succeed because they have something that’s pushing them forward. What pushes you forward? What are your reasons to succeed in this business? How badly you want it? Think about it and find something you can refer to whenever you lose your focus. Find one thing (or more of them) that will push you forward and make you want to succeed!
