People make money everyday selling other people's products either as a joint venture partner or an affiliate. There are many advantages and major considerations to launching yourself into such a program.
You've probably heard of affiliate programs. They act as advertising arms for various products ranging from e-books to cement. You put up the site, advertise it and list your affiliated companies and anyone who buys from them from your site earns you a commission.
Companies use affiliate pograms to sell their products, such as those listed here. While this is a web page that directly sells other people's products to earn me a commission I have other pages whereby I earn a second income from other people sending affiliates to my programs from my site, such as here. My home page is used to encourage people to click over to sites from which I make a fee for the click. That works the same as pay-per-click through the search engines but is probably a lot cheaper for Companies than paying
high prices on the search engines for a first page listing.
The most common way for making money online with affiliate programs is through posting a link on your website. Some sites are dedicated just to affiliate programs and some offer a 2 tier bonus so that anyone you introduce to the first site also earns you a commission if they, in turn, introduce someone else to the program.
There are many advantages to making money online with affiliate programs. Startup costs are minimal. The only money you spend is to promote the product, whether through a website or other means such as blogs, pay-per-clicks or through local media advertising. You don't actually sell the product, so you don't spend time shipping the products or money to buy them at wholesale prices, hoping to sell them later. Another advantage is that you don't have to worry about unsatisfied customers returning the product to you.
A good way to start making money online with affiliate programs is to find a subject you are interested in and start a website. After the website is up, find companies that sell this product and register to be an affiliate. They will give you some code to paste in your website. You can use text codes or pictures, but text code seems to be the most effective for converting to sales.
Look at websites in your area of interest. For example, if you are interested in music, look at sites devoted to your favorite musicians. Many Companies are interested in selling their music through affiliate programs and even videos and movies are sold this way, as noted in my shop. Study them to see how they place ads. Notice your responses to those ads. Some are annoying, but others will make you want to click through. Learn from this and place ads similar to those that interested you.
Starting a website devoted to something you love is rewarding. If you need some extra money, making money online with affiliate programs can be a useful addition to something you already enjoy.
