Are you ready to learn affiliate marketing dummies? Great! Glad to have you here in this affiliate marketing 101 chat. Today, you'll learn the hottest way to make money on the internet. Especially for everyone new to online business (and dummies.)

You'll be glad to learn that affiliate marketing is extremely simple and doing it is so easy that a 14 year old girl is making over $2000 a month with one website. Her story is amazing, but we'll get to that in a moment... Back to learning...

Maybe you're wondering how you'll make money online without a product to sell?

More good news! Affiliate marketing is a great opportunity because you don't need a product to sell. The truth is there are thousands of products created by other people that you can help sell and earn a commission. Plus, there's not much to it--The process is simple and will only take a couple of minutes to understand.

Getting excited yet? Then let's get on to learning affiliate marketing...
What is Affiliate Marketing and how would you define it?

As you already know, affiliate marketing is a way to make money online. To start, you'll signup to sell a product or service online. Let's use the 5 star SiteSell affiliate program as an example. But you don't really have to "sell" anything. All you do is send visitors to the SiteSell website where people buy the product.

When you send a visitor to the SiteSell website and that visitor buys an ebook, or other product, you'll get paid a commission.

See how easy that is to learn & understand?

Think of it like this: Affiliate marketing isn't selling--It's more like pointing people in the right direction.

What else do I need to learn to make money with affiliate marketing?

The real trick to earning a big pile of cash online is learning how to direct traffic. What do I mean? Well, think about this... You've got to find a way to direct internet traffic to the Site Sell website. The more people you send there, the better chance somebody will buy books & products, which means you'll get paid.

You want to get paid right?

In the affiliate marketing world, Traffic=Money. Sending traffic to the Site Sell website is your #1 goal. It's what will make you a success or a failure. Now, you've got to decide how to grab traffic and deliver it to your affiliate site.

The best possible strategy is to start a website.

Don't worry, it's much easier than it sounds... And much more profitable that you think!

Here's why starting up your own website is the best way to send an army of visitors to the products you're trying to earn a commission on: 1. Tons of free traffic. Building an affiliate marketing website the "right way" will give you a flowing river of free traffic from the search engines. You see, traffic from search engines is great because there's no limit to how much you can have! As long as you keep updating your site, the traffic will come. Sure you'll have to learn about making your site search engine friendly, but that's easy too. Like I said before, if a 14 year old can do it, you can too!
2. It's really cheap. For about the cost of one Pepsi per day, you can own a real, live affiliate business that sends hundreds of people off to buy your affiliate products. You need a website because it's like having your very own salesperson who is working 24 hours a day, 365 days a year--for less than a dollar a day. Know any sales people that will work for a dollar a day? I sure don't.
3. An ethical, legitimate business you can feel proud of. Listen, I'm not telling you to build some junk website with a 900 ads on the homepage because nobody likes getting hit in the face with advertisements. What you should to is make a website about something you really love. Like dogs, skiing, cooking, telling jokes. You should pick something you can easily talk about and something that you'll enjoy talking about forever... Because that's how long you want this business to last right? Forever?
4. Multiple ways to make money: Part 1. Sure you can send people off to sites like SiteSell to buy stuff like ebooks and software. But, there's an even easier way to make money from your visitors--And they don't have to buy anything!

  • hey hey! Have you tried the Intellitus Cash System (google it)? Ive heard some awesome things about it and my friend earned a ton of money.

  • this is simple and to the point, i like it.

  • All correct. But driving traffic of BUYING people is a matter of matter. ATTENTION, please. Here I can give good advice. It's better to start with Neo E-mail Marketing company. Just google this name and find the website link, begins from 'email-to-5000'.

  • Hi im new to affiliate marketing and just wanted to know something. I watch videos on keyword research and choosing a niche, but how do you know if the affiliate program offer products related, for example if you base your website around 'how to lose inner thigh weight',(on a video i saw) how do they know they will have products to promote which relate? thanks

  • thanks for the advice

  • I'm new to all this and don't know anything about this stuff but this is a great presentation.
