Making money from home has become a popular topic in recent years. Many think the cost of starting up a business is expensive. That couldn’t be farther from the truth. With the use of the internet anyone could be making affiliate money with little to no investment. Affiliate marketing is the hottest new work at home phenomenon to develop in the past decade. So what can you do to start earning affiliate money?
Their are a number of programs online today that you can buy that will help you start earning affiliate money. Some are expensive around $200 or so while others are much more affordable usually in the $39 to $49 dollar range. I personally have bought several programs over the past two years and can tell you that most are relatively the same. Each marketing guru puts their own spin on things.
To start making affiliate money you would do fine to go for one of the cheaper programs. Most of them will give you an e-book about 70-100 pages in length and a free website to implement the ideas expressed in the book. If you follow their instructions explicitly you will be making affiliate money in about a months time. Many programs promise that you will be making affiliate money in days but be realistic. If you make enough affiliate money in the first month to cover the cost of the program and any advertising fees you are off to a good start.
Another way to make affiliate money that won’t cost you a dime is to advertise using articles. Article advertising will take substantially more work on your part. Before you can begin earning affiliate money you will have to locate products you feel you can write an article about.
After you have located a few products with the potential to earn you affiliate money do some brainstorming about the product. Select a keyword that is related to the product and write your article based around that keyword. Repeat this process for other keywords. Make sure to place a link leading to the product your promoting towards the end of the article.
Lastly, to earn affiliate money from your articles you will need to post them somewhere that people will be able to read them. E-zineArticles.com, GoArticles.com, SearchWarp.com, and U.S.freeads.com are all free article directories that you can post on. Their are other’s out there but you should focus on these four because they generally get higher volumes of traffic and Google likes to give high search ranks to articles posted on them.
If you wish to make affiliate money using the article advertising method you will have to create new articles on a daily basis. Writing 1-3 articles a day you will start to see affiliate money by the end of your first month. This method takes a lot of work but it is a sure fire way to earn affiliate money.
Both methods discussed here will allow you to begin earning affiliate money. The only difference is one will cost a small amount and the other is free. Keep in mind you will have to put forth the effort whichever path you take. I wish you the best of luck.
