I am one of many online mentors who help people to get started online. People want to make money, but making that first sale seems to be the most difficult task to accomplish. I believe that the answer is through affiliate marketing. There are so many reasons for you to do this.
When you are just getting started with an online business you have no products or services of your own. It makes sense to promote other people’s products and services while you are getting started. Here are even more reasons to do this during your first year online.
Affiliate marketing will hep you to:
- Increase your income by promoting appropriate affiliate products to your list
- Learn exactly what experienced marketers do and model it in your own business
- Start part-time while you are still learning how to make money online
- Create relationships with others that will lead to future Joint Ventures
The first money I made online was in the spring of 2006. I earned $21.60 from the sale of an affiliate product on dog training. Once I made that sale I knew that anything was possible and it encouraged me to keep working to build my online business. You can do the same thing.
Hello Connie. Very timely. I started promoting a CB product on cleaning out foreclosures a few weeks ago, nothing yet. Today I switched to a competing product with higher gravity, hope that helps. On my Florida wildlife blog, started promoting a CB product on landscape photography about a week ago, nothing there yet. It will happen.
Just want to let your readers know that the very first sale I ever made in online marketing was with one of your products, Connie. Affiliate marketing is the perfect way to get started on the internet. It’s also exciting to learn all about building an online marketing empire from experts like yourself. I figure if I just sit up and pay attention to what you’re teaching, the information products I eventually develop will be slam dunks!
