Affiliate Marketing Basics

Hi everyone, I wanted to talk about affiliate marketing today. Affiliate marketing is a way you can promote products or services and get paid! There are tens of thousands of marketers out there! You just have to pick the right one to promote. That being said, it can get difficult because there is so much competition out there! The best way to start affiliate marketing is to look for topics related to what you are writing or selling on your blog or website. If you have a blog and your writing about diet plans, you can go to Clickbank and find topics related to diet plans or losing weight. Clickbank is real easy to join and its free. Clickbank uses a term called gravity, this is the performance statistic that counts the number of different affiliates that earned a commission by promoting the product over the past 12 weeks. Companies that have a high gravity are selling well but there will be more competition. Its a good idea to check the dates that the vendors started on CB because if they have been there a long time and have a gravity of 0 then you probably should look for other vendors. If you would like to become a vendor you can check the prices here: http://raiden0570.reseller.hop.clickbank.net. Otherwise back to the affiliates! I would check around for different affiliate marketing companies! You can pick thousands of marketers on http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?B=70&U=585243&M=47&urllink=. 

Ok you have your blog or website and your affiliate marketers. What now? The single most important step is to find traffic for your website or blog! It seems so simple but why is it so hard to get the word out? Well I'm learning too! The best way I have found is to always blog and comment on other blogs. Use Classified Ads, Twitter, Facebook, Forums, etc. If you would like detailed help about affiliate marketing.

JOKE OF THE DAY

An Avon Lady was delivering products in a high-rise and was riding in the elevator. Suddenly, she had the powerful urge to fart. Since no one was in the elevator, she let it go - and it was a doozy.
Of course, the elevator then stopped at the next floor, so she quickly used some Avon Pine-Scented Spray to cover up the smell. A man entered the elevator and immediately made a face.

"Holy cow! What's that smell?"

"I don't know, sir. I don't smell anything. What does it smell like to you?"

"Like someone crapped a Christmas tree."
