So You Want To Start An Affiliate Internet Marketing Business?

So You Want To Start An Affiliate Internet Marketing Business?

Do you wish you could work from anywhere in the world on your own terms? Would you like to have a business that runs on auto pilot for you? Do you want a business where you don't have to go door to door, cold call people, or work your so called warm list? If you answered yes to all of those questions then you are on the right track. You can build your online business so you don't even have to talk to anyone period if you don't want to.

Some links in this article are affiliate links from which we may receive a tiny commission, at no additional cost to you, should you visit a merchant via our link and subsequently make a purchase.

To be quite honest with you, it was only about 5 years ago that I actually learned how to even turn a computer on. Don't laugh; its true. If someone told me I was going to have a successful Internet Marketing business in the future I would have laughed at them.

I still don't have a clue how to build a website. And frankly the technical stuff doesn't interest me. You do not have to be an expert to have your own online business. Just get someone else to do it for you like I did.

Things you need to know before you start

The fastest way to get to the top is to role model someone else who is already doing what you want to do. Follow the recipe as it is called. If someone else is doing something and you do exactly what they are doing then you will have the same results. If you try and bake a cake and miss half of the ingredients you will not have very good results.

You could try and reinvent the wheel like some people and spend a lot of youre hard earned dollars. Believe me you will spend a lot as there is a lot of fluff out there.

You are probably wondering how you go about finding someone that is successful in the Internet Marketing business. For starters, don't waste your time with people trying to push their products on you. Most of it is just garbage that only gives you bits and pieces of the puzzle. You wouldn't want someone to give you the tools to build the house but not the actual plans would you?

Find the right people to help you

Find someone who will build you your own site exactly like their own, will give you a how to guide to success, and will actually support you through the process. Trust me if you are new like I was you will have tons of questions.

There are lots of people out there who will build you a site for free. Now keep in mind everything won't be free. You should expect the fact that you will have to pay to register and host your own domain name. The person who is building your website should have a list of affiliate companies they are already using to make money online. Some of the affiliate companies charge to become members and some don't. My advice is when you join them is not to upgrade anything right away until you actually start referring people. Use the money you make off of your profits to pay for the upgrade as this will also increase your profits.

One Last Reminder

When building any business dont expect to have things happen overnight. You will have to work at it a few hours every week. In an online business you build up your client list first and then let it do the work for you. Oh and the most important part; don't wait until you learn everything. Take Action Now! Motion beats meditation any day of the week.

The Indispensable Blogger Memory Jogger

In today's age of technological marvels, most of us almost always have some electronic way to save our ideas on the fly.  But, sooner-or-later there is going to come a time when you find yourself without an electronic scratchpad, and you'll have an idea which has just struck you as having incredible awesomeness and you certainly don't want to forget it.  My recommendation is that you ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS carry a small notebook and a pen or pencil in some convenient place, whether it be your back pocket, our purse, or hidden in the Maxwell Smart Shoe Phone compartment.

It doesn't have to be anything fancy, just a convenient spot to write down ideas as they come to you if you don't have any technologically advanced media storage device on your person at the time.  You can see some of my recommended products below.  The first notebook displayed, is much less expensive than the one displayed below it; however, the binding is not leather, nor is it refillable.  This doesn't mean that it isn't a good little notebook, but you have to make a decision which one fits your needs the best.  Personally, I like the idea of being able to refill my notebooks when I'm out of pages.  The advantage of the less expensive notebook is that it is compact, flat, and a bunch of them can easily be stored together for future reference.

Word Press Plug-Ins That Can Help You

If you are writing a blog on a WordPress platform, there are some plug-ins that in my opinion are must-haves, because they will probably benefit you (and perhaps boost your traffic a little bit.)  First and foremost, as the CommentLuv Plug-In.  This is a great little plug-in, because it allows anyone who comments on your blog to get a link attached to their comment back to their own blog.  This can benefit both blogs with more traffic.  Along with CommentLuv, I also use "Simple Trackback Validation" and "GASP."  Simple Trackback Validation lets you establish some criteria for Trackbacks that you will approve, and it automatically eliminates a lot of SPAM trackbacks.

GASP stands for "Growmap Anti Spambot Plugin" and is also very helpful in reducing SPAM attacks.  

The next must-have plug-in is NextScripts Social Network Auto-Poster (SNAP for short).  This plug-in will auto-post 

all your new content to your Facebook Fan Page, Twitter, StumbleUpon, Delicious, etc.  
The free version has some limitations; howeve with the paid version you can be auto-posting
 to all your social networks at the same time from an assortment of blogs.  HOWEVER; I 
caution you, that even though this plug-in can also be used to auto-post to "Blogger," the kind 
people at Google DO NOT LIKE SNAP.  I set it up originally to auto-post to three of my Blogger 
blogs, which were shut down by Google immediately for being "SPAM" blogs, even though 
they weren't.  Google says that you can appeal their decision, and they'll look at the site in 
twenty-four to forty-eight hours, because this decision is actually made by Google robots.  So, 
I notified Google about the three Blogger sites that were shut down erroneously, and I have 

been waiting over a month for a response from them.  Just be warned, DO NOT USE this plug-in

 with Blogger

Make Google AdSense Part of Your Plan

If you are writing a Blog, one important feature that you need to consider is Google AdSense.  Almost all website formats will offer you some way of integrating Google AdSense into your campaigns.  This may not make you a fortune, but AdSense will place ads on your site that are relevant to the content of your site, which also lends credibility to your site.  Personally, I'm very partial to Google Blogger and WordPress for my sites, as they both are set up very well to accommodate Google AdSense ads.  But, also you need to be careful that you are offering unique content on your website, because if you try to get by without unique content, you run the risk of having your AdSense ads pulled by Google.

For WordPress Blogs, I'm partial to registering my domain on Siteground, because it is very easy to set up a WordPress site on their servers.  It's pretty much one click and done, and then all you have to do is write your content.
