and promote the affiliate products.

You can only acquire these skills through learning and studying of books that will guide and teach you the fundamental steps required to create

your 'cash machine'. As we go along and at the appropriate time, I'll direct you to more resources sites where you can

• Technical

• Critical thinking

• Tools for setting up website and e-mail list

auto responder which will capture email addresses and running an email list. Both of these tools are required, and

the skill to use them, are of great importance.

Also, you need to master how to set all up on a very basic level, and of course be able to have links to where to some

resources that will help along the way could be found

WHY AND HOW AFFILIATE MARKETING WORKS

Affiliate marketing works on the principle that merchants need to generate traffic to his website, and for him to generate a lot of traffic to his site, he can start an “affiliate program”.
”.
An affiliate program is a system whereby a merchant will
provides support and all the necessary incentives to enable affiliates join the program.
Setting up the program demands that the merchant does several thing :which includes
Provision of an affiliate “tracking” system
Deciding on the affiliates commission for each referred sale .
Setting up support and resources for affiliates so they can easily market the products
The affiliate tracking systems can be run by the merchant, or through a third-party like
Clickbank or Commission Junction
“Commissions” (what affiliates are paid) are usually set as a percentage of product price.
Lastly, the support and resources include things like banners, solo ads and other pre-written
promotional material the affiliate can use.
When an Affiliate joins a particular Affiliate programme,he is given an “Affiliate Link”.
This link is unique to that individual affiliate, and all visitors referred by the affiliate through that
link are tracked and credited to the affiliate.

To sum up: when a visitor clicks through an affiliate link and purchases something, the affiliate
who referred that visitor gets credit for the sale and gets paid a commission.
Once you have the link, you can start using it on your own website, in e-mails, in Google
Adwords ads, and so on. The link will take the visitor to the merchant's sales page, while
crediting you with the referral if a sale is made.
The reason affiliate programs works so well is because of the incentive provided to affiliates,
and the cost-effectiveness provided to the merchant.
The affiliate wants to earn money. The merchant wants to save money, and he does, because
he doesn't have to pay the affiliate anything until a sale is made.
This is different from traditional advertising, where you have to pay up front for visitors and have
no guarantee of sales.
So, the relationship between an affiliate and a merchant is really a win-win situation. For the
affiliate, especially, there's no limit on income. As an affiliate, you can earn as much money as
you are able to generate in commissions.
This is unlike a regular job where you have a fixed salary our hourly wage. If you were to refer
$100,000 in sales as an affiliate on one product, and if your commission is 50%, then you get
$50,000.
It doesn't matter how long it took you to do it…or even whether you do it month after month…
You control your own financial destiny all the way
Good-Luck

Affiliate Marketing Made Easy

Affiliate marketing is like an agency relationship. There is
no extra work and expense involved in being an Affiliate marketer.As an Affiliate you don’t need product of your own, processing payments or dealing with customer service issues. All you have to do is to connect buyers to sellers you and you get paid as soon as the relationship is created. One can say that this is a Pay for performance advertising model
As an affiliate, you're going to advertising for the merchants website or services.

YOU NEED TRAFFIC
Let's look at this in terms of “problem and solution”, and you'll understand the basis for this lesson

Every website owner needs more of? --> Traffic. You may have the best
product in the world, If live people are not visiting your website, you will make no sale.

There are many ways to get traffic to a website. Most merchants combines
'natural' traffic strategies (like getting a high ranking in the search engines) and paid advertising strategies.

The problem is that there's no so much traffic a merchant can generate on their own at least based on cost and other effective strategies.
This was big problem for smaller, independent companies who resources, the budget and brand awareness of giants like Microsoft or Coca Cola

This Lingered until when a little company called Amazon.com developed a new marketing system called 'Affiliate marketing'.

Their aim and objective was to break the limitations of the traditional advertising, and unleash a flood of traffics to their site.
This new affiliate marketing model they created relied on the power of networking.
In other words, they created their own networks of individual advertisers, called affiliates, who gets
paid for each sale generated by new visitors that came in through them.
This method worked so well and brought entirely new field of professional affiliate
marketers.
Thousands of new affiliates, and affiliate networks, sprang up across the web.
Affiliate marketing is now a business model in and of itself, and not just an advertising model but a source income generating opportunity to a lot of people
The reason is that affiliates can make serious incomes referring sales to their merchants.
Fortunes can be made by helping to sell other people's products and the level of success depend on your efforts and commitment to your work
In Internet.
Goodluck

SELLING OTHER PEOPLE”S PRODUCT

it is easier and better to learn Affiliate business by acting as
a “middle-person” between the buyers and sellers before producing your own information e-book.
You'll still use information to do this. For instance if
a potential buyer is looking for an information on weight loss
He'll do a search in the search engine, and comes across thousands of websites that that offer diets, and
weight loss tips. exercise tips

The main concern for this potential buyer is: to find the best .This is where you come in as the 'middle-person'. You've researched the weight loss market,
and come across thousands of websites that offer diets, exercise tips and
weight loss tips.
The main concern for this potential buyer is: solution for his/her, and your’s
as the 'middle -person' .is to research the weight loss market extensively and to pjck the. Having picked the Burn The Fat offers,
Your duty then is to contact the buyer and convince him on why Burn The Fat is ideal for him to invest in, .connecting the buyer to the Seller. For you to be able to do this you must have the buyers personal information and contact. address eg e-mail address this information enables you to do the necessary follow up and educates him on weight loss generally as well as giving him the benefit s of choosing Burn The Fat.

Precisely your duty as an Affiliate is to introduce buyers to the seller and the ablity to convince the buyer to buy your product as a solution to his problem.

This to be honest is never a simple task, because you are introducing two unseen strangers and this is quite different like that of real persons .You should realize that people create impression about each other and also study each other extensively to know if they can associate. Equally that also applies in the internet marketing just as in the real world
There you should give people detailed information about the product ,It features, and benefits
Good Luck

HOW TO MAKE MONEY IN THE INTERNET

A lot of people get amazed on how do people make money on the Internet, The truth still remains that a lot of money making means is abound online with a variety of money-making opportunities at your digital doorstep.
A lot of people still hold the view that Internet Income are t entirely advertising based as was the case in the 90’s but such notion is wrong of the present day trend in the Internet world You need to offer valuable and real goods to your visitors at a reasonable price
The types of products and services offered matters a lot. Although everything could be sold in the internet .
Also, there are some products and services which are exclusively Internet-based,
(for example, e-books, website graphics, Internet service
providers, e-mail providers, etc).
Both Physical and Digital goods such as. clothing, jewelry, houses, cars, kitchen appliances, plane tickets, toys and so for physical and
products and services on the Internet. For example, downloadables audio, video and software are considered 'digital' products.
le e-books, audio, video and software are considered 'digital' products.Also

Other types of digital products include membership-based services. For example, you can charge a monthly fee for access to a website, newsletter, consulting service and so on but monetization models
based on Internet traffic and advertising.for example
Google Ad sense. In the Google Ad sense program, website
publishers can place Google ads on their websites and get paid each time a visitor clicks on one of the advertisements
.
Likewise, publishers can set their own advertising rates and sell space for things like banner advertisements.

This is all very similar to the 'old' model Internet businesses relied on a few years back
It’s just a matter of finding creative ways to extract advertising profit from the content that pulls

INTERNET AND WHY PEOPLE DO INTERNET BUSINESS

what can owning an Internet business do for you? Internet Business is all about freedom. An Internet business gives you more freedom in choosing how to spend to spend your time,
how to showcase your talent online and how earn a living online from the comfort of your home.
Through Internet business, you are the master of yourself
You decide to sell, how much time and effort you invest in selling them
You get to set your own hours and periods to work. You get to run them at your discretion and will never be dismissed by any one.
If you find it just doesn't suit you, you can change the
your business, sell it off, even quit and go back to your former job.
Internet business is also about money. Potentially lots of
Money if you hit a lucrative niche and understand how to exploit it.
I challenge you to find any other business that can pull in as much income as an Internt business

You can enter Internet at extremely low cost without any barrier compared to traditional business where
you have to spend several thousand of dollars just to get started.
Which is out of reach for the the ordinary person
In the Internet business, you can get started with little or nothing. People have built fortunes on the Internet starting with nothing more than fifty-bucks and an idea on what to do and they have made fortunes today.

Not only that start-up costs are low, but overall operating costs in Internet
Business are lower compared to traditional businesses. You can spend, say, $100/month on
web hosting and advertising, while making back 10 x's that amount.
I can't think of any other industry where profit margins exceed expenses.

Internet based business still is ahead when you look at the
scale of profit relative to the individual compared other form of business
serious look at how an Internet business might benefit you.

Maybe you're ready to find a way out of your current job. Maybe you want to save for retirement
or put your children through reasonably qualitative education or wants
Extra time, extra money, or both, then an Internet business is
the easiest and most effective paths to achieving those goals!
