Becoming an Affiliate

If you can either write articles or have the market & promotion knowledge to publicize articles that others write, becoming an affiliate for several companies may be a great way for you to generate a nice income right from your own home. You can do this by receiving part of the revenue off of sales that the company gets from people who “click through” from your web-site by the company’s links that are placed on your pages.

If you cannot write this kind of content of your own, there's plenty of ways to pick up free or paid content to place on your affiliate web-site. There's plenty of reasons why paying for such articles would be to your advantage. First, you will be able to tell the writer exactly what you require, what product you are trying to sell, & what direction they can go in to keep your readers interested & informed. On the other hand, when you search for free content, you are limited to what is already out there. Secondly, you will own the copyright to this content. That means that no two else can reuse it without your consent. If you opt for free content, you will be sharing that content with an unknown amount of other affiliate web-sites, and the original author will be able to place their byline at the bottom of the article which could result in them stealing your traffic.

Since you will be promoting a product or service, you will require a killer sales pitch & web-site content to get your readers interested in the product, convince them that they cannot live without the product, & to keep them coming back to your web-site time & time again for more recommendations & your useful content, which will get them clicking on your links six times again. Although plenty of affiliate companies only give you money off of the first sale you make from each customer, you have the option of promoting a nice range of companies so that you can still make a profit off of your returning customers.

There's plenty of products that have nice affiliate commission rates for those who know how to pre-sale their product & deliver click through customers who are ready to buy. As long as you choose to promote a product or service that can be very useful to a wide variety of people, then pre-selling your selected company may not be that hard at all. The key in this situation may likely be getting those customers to your web-site so that they have a chance to see your recommendations & click on your affiliate links.
