If you do some homework, you’ll see that there are a wide range of choices to start making money on the internet today. But are they legitimate? It can be really overwhelming. How do you sort through it all? Where do you begin?

Essentially, you need to promote a product in a niche with an audience that’s willing to pay for it. But what if you’ve got no products or services to sell? No problem. You sell other peoples’ products and earn commission on everything you sell.

The Affiliate Marketing Model Explained

A regular store owner doesn’t personally create every product he or she sells. They buy products from manufacturers and then sell them on at a profit. You can do something similar to start making money on the internet. But you don’t have to buy any stock first.

You can choose from a wide range of products to promote online, all with a website sales page set up for you. Your job as an affiliate marketer is to drive traffic to that website using a specific hyperlink. When somebody clicks on that hyperlink and decides to buy from the sales page, you get paid a commission by the product owner.

Find The Right Market

To start with, you’ll need to decide on the niche you want to work in. It’s always best to get started with a niche or industry that you’re already interest in or where you already have some knowledge. When you know what people in your market want, it makes it a lot easier for you to find products that will meet their needs.

Find The Right Products

Most affiliate marketers start looking for products at the ClickBank Marketplace. This is where business owners list their products for affiliates to sell. There is massive choice of different products and services in a wide variety of niches. When you choose a product, get your unique affiliate hyperlink for the product (called a hop-link). This is the link that will take your prospects to the product sales page.

You aren’t limited to selling products from ClickBank. There are many other affiliate marketing companies to choose from.

Find The Right Customers

Now you need to promote and market your unique affiliate hyperlink to catch and drive traffic to your affiliate product offer. Some traffic methods are free and some you have to pay for. Keep in mind that before you start making money on the internet, you may need to spend a little money advertising your chosen products. Online advertising is very cost effective and for a very modest budget you can easily reach your target audience.
