Make Money Affiliate Marketing the Old Fashioned Way - Simple Is Better
Author: Grant Gerver
I am always searching for ways to make money online. I've seen every method known to man. Almost all contain one central theme: no way, Jose! There is no easy, fast or sure way to make a fortune online. I have come to that brilliant conclusion, probably long after you already have. But, I've got this Walter Mitty - Don Quixote streak in me (aka "Don Quixmitty") that makes me a permanent hopeless dreamer. It's terrific and it's destructive all in one fell swoop.
Basically, I think it's time to get real, so to speak, and look for a way to earn an income online that sounds like this: Make Money Affiliate Marketing the Old Fashioned Way - Simple is Better. I'm talking buying and selling, and getting a nice commission just for recommending others, but nothing remotely approaching the dread multi-level marketing (MLM) business model. And, it better not cost anything to join and earn, either.
Human beings have been buying, selling, bartering and trading goods and services since the dawn of mankind. Despite how technologized we've become, the oldest business in history remains the same. It's just the methods for conducting it that have changed. No matter.
Basically, you never have to convince anybody that buying and selling is a great way to make money. We've all known that since Day One. It's simple. You sell your stuff to a willing buyer for a fair price and vice versa.
Everybody wins. You just have to find the best place online to conduct your business, unless garage sales are your thing. They certainly aren't mine. But, let me just say that I think they are definitely a remarkable phenomenon and as American as apple pie, or whatever corresponding phrase you use in your country. Here's another: Somebody else's junk is somebody else's treasure. There's a lot of power and truth in that age-old axiom.
So, get out there and EMPLOY YOURSELF! You're the boss. You don't ever have to wear a tie or get ready for work. Yes friends, sell all your unwanted junk and spread the word about your favorite online place to do it. It will pay you in spades. You'll never know just how many "treasure seekers" are ready, willing and able to turn your has-beens into must-haves!
What are some easy ways to make money through affiliate marketing?
I’m talking about programs similar (but not limited) to Adscend Media.
I don’t know coding or anything like that. I know people that do affiliate marketing work, and i’d like to get in on that myself.
Where are some places to go for this work? What can i do to make money if i don’t know coding/computer programming? Where can i get more info on how to work with affiliate marketing? Information on stuff like that would be greatly appreciated.
Yes, people really do make money through affiliate marketing. Some quite lucratively in fact. However, it can become an unfulfilled dream for those who perceive it to be easy. Being a successful affiliate marketer is an acquired skill. I would recommend much study of how affiliate marketing works prior to getting involved. If you would like some study and tips on this topic. You can visit a web page from the web host that I personally use at http://affiliatemarketing.sitesell.com/UnstoppableDreams.html

Hi: I have joined over 140 affiliate programs of gaming sites (bingo, casino, poker, skill games, and sportsbooks). Only about two dozen or so of these have resulted in any income — around $4K in the last 6 months.
If you are interested in promoting gaming sites, then you may find my article helpful; it’s called “Seven Tips for Choosing an Online Gaming Affiliate Program”. It contains tips as well as my top 12 recommended affiliate programs.

I am a full-time Affiliate Marketer and I received my training at WAU. It’s a great place to start and you will become an expert within weeks. I’m very happy with the income I earn, especially knowing its only limited by my actions or lack of actions.
I recommend you review the training, decide what kind of niche you want to dominate and take consistent action. Some of the Top Affiliate Marketers are earning 6 figures, most without investing any money other than training.
FYI: Be careful of those scammy “get-rich-quick” websites. This business takes effort and time, but extremely worth it in the end.
Best Wishes!
Affiliate programs are the first choice of most newcomers to net earnings because they have many advantages:
1. All you have to do is to join a merchant program as an affiliate and send visitors to the merchant site
2. All other work such as making a sale, delivering the product or service, receiving payment, attending to the complaints or making a refund, is handled by the merchant site.
3. The merchant site also sees to it that you are paid commission when a sale is made through your efforts.
4. You are also rewarded when a sale is made through the efforts of an affiliate referred by you to the merchant site.
All easy and simple. But most affiliates soon find that in spite of their best efforts they are not making any money.
This is because the affiliate earnings depend not on how many visitors they send to the merchant site, but how many of them buy the product or service of the merchant.
So just sending visitors to the merchant site is not enough.
You can do this easily by joining traffic exchange or autosurf programs. Your merchant site will be seen hundreds of times but it will not make a sale. This is because these visitors are not interested in your site. They are looking at it to earn credits so they can show their site to others.
This is not to say that traffic programs have no use at all.
I have used them successfully to build my downline in free-to-join programs, but have never made a sale through them. Most members of such programs are promoting their own programs. They could get interested in joining other opportunities, but would rarely go for a product themselves.
So if you want to earn from affiliate programs, the thing to do is to send interested visitors to your merchant site.
Who is an interested visitor?
This is the visitor who reached your site by himself. He is looking for the product you are promoting. This is why he took the trouble of finding it from a search engine or from the particular kind of ads or forums.
This visitor is red hot for a sale. He is already interested in your product. If he finds what he wants on your merchant site, he is very much likely to look at the product’s features, mentally compare it with other similar products, ask for more information by giving his email address. All this can lead to a sale and a commission for you.
How to target interested visitors
The best way to reach interested visitors is promoting your products through search engines submissions, placing catchy ads, posting in forums or through your own website.
This may sound daunting to newcomers at first but all these are do-able with a little effort. You can get help for mastering all these skills from the resources freely available on the internet.
Joining right affiliate programs can also help a good deal to gain affiliate mastery. While great many affiliate programs give you a few text ads and banners and be done with you, there are some programs that give valuable training to succeed.
Be positive
Most newcomers to internet earning fail because they expect to be rich in a week, if not overnight. When this doesn’t happen as it rarely does in real life, they get discouraged. They are also influenced by others who like them tried but failed to earn with affiliate programs. The result — they give up, frustrated.
The reality is that nobody becomes rich overnight in internet marketing. You have to work at it consistently. Most important of all, banish negative thinking from your life and believe that if others have succeeded, you, too, can and will.
That perhaps is the most important ingredient for your success.
