Also, find products and services to promote. This can be done through affiliate networks. Affiliate network acts as an intermediary between publishers and merchant affiliate programs. There are so many affiliate networks that connect merchants with affiliate site publishers who can help them sell their products. For merchants, affiliate network service and benefits may include tracking technology, reporting tools, payment processing and also access to a large base of publishers. It is also almost the same with affiliates but they have the opportunity to register for one or more than one merchant affiliate program in a more simplified way, also access to payment aggregation and access to product API’s.

Examples of such networks are Google AdSense, which requires less of your involvement in sales of the product. Your personal income is realized by the number of clicks. I.e. on a pay-per-click basis. Other examples of affiliate networks are Shareasale, Commission Junction which is one of the most popular affiliate network, owned by ValueClick, which emerged with Be Free founded in 1998. Commission Junction makes things easy for affiliates by consolidating all payouts into one payment. LinkShare which has more than 700 merchant in its affiliate network, ClickBank which offers a huge array of downloadable products, mainly eBooks. It is also very cheap and easy for merchants to join as they provide products with high quality.

When setting up an affiliate marketing site, there are two main approaches:

Resource sites: these are sites that are focused on offering a lot of how- to articles, tutorials and posts. They provide affiliates with links and banner ads which serves as a guide to get more information about them. They frequently add fresh content that are vital giving people reasons to visit your site again and click some of your money making links. These are more informative types of sites and the more information you have on your chosen niche market, the better.

Review sites: these sites are available for you to review products, help you provide a link or banner ads that click through for sales on your merchant partner’s site.  Basically, you are connecting customers (buyers) with companies (vendors).

As an affiliate, your site must attract a lot of targeted traffic to succeed. This is why it is necessary to use marketing strategies to increase your traffic. This can be achieved by four major ways.

  1. Free advertising
  2. Paid advertising
  3. Article marketing
  4. E-mail marketing

Lastly, as a marketer, you cannot build your career laying basis on your own experience. A lot of online communities exist. These communities are made up of people of like mind who exchange insights and ideas. Join one of the forums and benefits from the experience of people, especially those who have made it to the top in affiliate marketing. Examples of some online forums that you can join are Digital Point, aBestWeb, Warrior Forum among others.

Making Money with Google

Here are some tips if you are interested in making money with Google AdSense

Make Money with Google

It will interest you to know that Google AdSense is a way to monetize your traffic, and this is not much of a difficult job to do. Google.com earns a large percent of its revenue by allowing other website owners to advertise on their search result page which is usually managed through a program called AdWords i.e. pay per click marketing. Advertisers pay a certain amount of money per click for the ads. This makes advertisers compete for the spots and whosoever has the highest bid and most quality ad gets the top spot. This is more like an auction-based system.it is simple. When someone clicks on the text or image being displayed on your site, you earn about 68% of the click while Google earns the rest. The more the click, the more you earn. Please note that the AdSense is not a way to get rich quickly and easily, it takes a lot of work to make money.

The commission you earn depends largely on how much advertisers are paying Google for a particular ad. You might be wondering how much is paid per click, it is quite impossible to know the average amount paid, so be very careful so you don’t get misled by people who know nothing or less about it; only Google knows how much is paid. The amount you earn depends on the amount of targeted traffic you receive to your site, and how well you can grab the attention of the audience.
