Explain the Affiliate Programs



More people are discovering the power of affiliate marketing to supplement or even replace their existing income. But there are even more people who would like to have a slice of this exciting world but are unsure exactly what an affiliate program is or what it consists of.

When discussing an affiliate program, it helps to compare it to a traditional networking company where a network of salespeople and distributors are recruited to sell their products to all corners of the globe.
affiliate programs

As an example, instead of a company selling directly to their customers, it sells products through a series of distributors and salespeople. In turn, the members of this distribution and sales network enjoy a very good living by promoting the products made by others.

In essence, the affiliate programs found on the internet are distribution and sales efforts taken to the online world. The affiliate website takes the place of the distributor and sales network, and the individual is paid by the seller of the product when a sale is made. Of course, there are affiliate programs where physical products have to be shipped but there are also many other affiliate programs where only software or informational products have to be downloaded.

It is easy to understand why this arrangement is so popular, from the point of view of both the merchant and the owner of the website. The merchant benefits from increased sales and at the same time do not have to pay for additional advertising and he can expand his network without the need for additional and sometimes expensive advertising. The affiliate, on the other hand, may not have a product of his own to make money from and selling someone else product for a share of the selling price gives him the opportunity to start his own business.

Of course, an effort is required on the part of the affiliate to promote his website and the product he is trying to sell. There are many ways that an affiliate program can be promoted. An example would be if the affiliate already has a website and a link added directly to the merchant site. It costs nothing to set up and is very easy to do with a little cut and paste.

All good affiliate programs will have a back office with tools to use and it is always advisable to protect your affiliate links and therefore your commissions, by disguising your links so that they are not chopped off or used by anyone else. You can find a good program to use to prevent theft of your commission here on this blog.
Commissions paid by merchants vary. You can expect anything up to 70% or even more with some affiliate programs, but these will mainly be software downloads.


 If you go to Clickbank you will find thousands of such programs to promote. With these kinds of commissions, it is easy to see why the promotion of software type programs is such a great way to make money online. At the other end of the scale though some affiliate programs pay a pittance, as low as 1.5% in some cases and you will have to ask yourself if these will be worth the effort.

Affiliate programs are very popular on the internet. If you do not have your own product to sell and you want to have a shot at earning some money on the internet, then affiliate marketing is the way to go. Give a little time, effort and patience and you will be rewarded. So if you're not already familiar with the concept of affiliate marketing, why not check it out?

How To Make Money From Your Blog with Direct Methods


Having thought through whether you should blog for money it is now worth taking a look at some of the different models for doing so.I tend to break the different models that bloggers are using to make money from blogging into two areas: How To Make Money From Your Blog with Direct Methods


  • Direct Income Earning Methods - these methods are where a blogger earns an income directly from their blog.
  • Indirect Income Earning Methods - these methods are where a blogger earns an income because of their blog.

Please note that on occasion in the following post there will be few affiliate links to services that I use and have had some success with.

money

Make-money Direct Methods :



  • Advertising


There are many ways of selling advertising space on a blog (this could almost be a series of its own) but some of the different advertising options that I see bloggers experimenting with include:

Programs like Google AdSense and YPN -(beta{only for US}) are contextual and very popular with bloggers and are probably the most common income stream being used by them today (MSN are developing one too).
In short - these programs scan the content of your blog to assertion what it’s topic is an attempt to put contextually relevant ads (text and image) onto your blog.
They are generally simple to use and involve pasting some code into your blog’s templates.
Payment is on a ‘per click’ basis (referred to as CPC or ‘cost per click’ ads).
They are not so good with ‘general’ type blogs ( many topics) and/or political/spiritual blogs which argue just one side of a case (this confuses AdSense).Must have one blog about one thing only: make money, marketing, family, social class, tips, etc...

You can see the articles about Adsense tips and more, here on this blog.


  • Other CPC Advertising 


There are a variety of other ad systems that pay on a per click basis which are not contextual in nature (which is important as systems like AdSense do not allow you to run contextual ads on the same page view as them). These systems include Chitika’s eMiniMalls which I reviewed here.


  • Impression Based Ads 


Impression based ads pay a small amount for every person who views the advertisement.
The amount that they pay varies from program to program (and ad to ad) and is generally a fraction of a cent.
There are a variety of ad systems around like this including Fastclick which I reviewed here and Tribal Fusion.
Impression based ads won’t earn you much if you don’t have a lot of traffic but can be great if you do.


  • Blog Ads 


BlogAds has become something of an institution when it comes to advertising on blogs.
Bloggers set their own rates and can accept or reject advertisers that apply to them to be featured on their blogs.
These ads put the control of what ads show and how much they earn into the hands of the blogger.
The downside is that if you price them too high you could never have any ads showing at all.
They can also be difficult to be accepted into as a publisher as these days they only accept people into the system if they have a someone who is already in ’sponsor’ or recommend the new publisher.


  • Text Ads 


Another increasingly popular way to sell ads on your blog is to look into text links.
They don’t take up much room and that depending on the system you choose to run them you can have control over which advertisers you accept and reject.

Text Link Ads is another text link seller that more and more bloggers are using. The beauty of both of these systems is that they have a pool of advertisers already so you don’t have to go looking for your own advertisers. Their systems are also both very automated and are just a matter of pasting some code onto your blog. But they don’t earn anywhere near as much as Google AdSense or Chitika for me they add up over the year and have done well for me. BidVertiser and Classifieds are another systems that I know is popular with some (we’ve used them quite successfully on b5media although I have little personal experience with them).


  • RSS Ads 


A popular way for people to read blogs is via RSS. As result publishers and ad providers have been keen to find ways to place ads in feeds. These attempts have been met with a variety of success levels. I’m yet to hear of too many people making big dollars with RSS ads yet but the ad systems seem to be improving. AdSense offers RSS ads to some of its publishers (you have to have a certain number of impressions first) as does YPN. Feedburner is a tool I’ve used to help monetize my own feeds - they give publishers three options
1. AdSense if you’ve been approved by them,
2. Amazon affiliate program
 3. if you have a lot of subscribers (over 500) they have an Ad Network.

  • Other Ads Systems 


In addition to the above systems (most of which I’ve used myself) are many other advertising options which I’ve not had experience with and so won’t personally recommend. I’m sure they are worth experimenting with however as I see many of them being used by bloggers every day. Here they are in no particular order:

  • AdGenta,
  • CrispAds, 
  • Clicksor, 
  • Intelli Txt, 
  • Peak Click, 
  • Double Click, 
  • Industry Brains, 
  • AdHearUs, 
  • Kanoodle, 
  • AVN, 
  • Pheedo, 
  • Adknowledge, 
  • YesAdvertising, 
  • RevenuePilotTextAds, 
  • SearchFeed, 
  • Target Point, 
  • OneMonkey, 
  • TextAds.


  Feel free to add your own and tell us how you’ve gone with them in comments below.

In conclusion, I make money from these free advertising programs :

Google - Adsense.
Chitika’s eMiniMalls
WidgetBucks
Targeted Blog Advertising With PerformancingAds
BidVertiser
AlternateURL


Another form of advertising that a smaller number of bloggers are using it to find their own advertisers.
All of the above systems have the advantage of finding you advertisers (or at least assisting in the automation of ads to your blog) but as your blog grows in profile and influence you might find other options for private deals come up.
The big blog networks have people dedicated to the task of finding advertisers (often working through ad agencies) but smaller bloggers might find this worthwhile also. I’ve been selling ads on my Digital Camera Blog for two years now and as it’s grown in traffic and profile and managed to attract larger companies (who are willing to pay more) to buys space. Currently, the blog features ads from Adobe who have bought a combination of banner, newsletter and text ads. There are a variety of ads that you can offer them including banner ads, buttons, text links, mentions in newsletters and even individual post sponsorships.


Affiliate Programs

Affiliate programs are where you take a commission for referring a reader who purchases a product or service to a company.
Probably the most common of these for bloggers is Amazon which has tens of thousands of products that you can link to.
Other affiliate programs that represent many different companies and products include Commission Junction, Clickbank, E-junkie, Moreniche, Click2Sell
Affiliate programs take some work if you want to get the most out of them (perhaps more work than advertising) but can be lucrative if you match the right program with the right blog/topic. If you want to explore affiliate programs more you might like to read tips for using affiliate programs on your blog, read on this blog .



Selling/Flipping Blogs


The idea of selling (or flipping) your blog is one that many bloggers have in the back of their minds for ‘one day’ but in reality, it is not something that is overly common… yet.
Probably the largest sale is that of Weblogs Inc (a network of blogs) which sold to AOL for a reported $25 million. Of course, this is the stuff that most of us can only dream of - but there are examples of smaller blogs being sold, either privately or via auctions on sites like eBay and SitePoint. One such auction was that of the Blog Herald which took place here.Starting a blog with the main goal of selling it down the track is one that I’ve heard of a number of bloggers doing but few have been successful. Rather than starting with this intention I think if you start with the intention of building a quality site that has a large readership and it’s own good income stream you are more likely to find buyers down the track.

Donations and Tip Jars


A very small number of blogs have a history of making good money with these (Jason Kottke being one of them).
To be successful with asking for money from readers you’ll want to have a large and loyal readership (and a rich one might help too).
Most bloggers just don’t have the critical mass or the cult following to make it work.
For taking a donation button you must have a Paypal account and you take it.


Merchandise


Another method that some blogs use with reasonable effect is to sell T-Shirts, Mugs, Stickers etc with the blog’s name, logo and/or taglines on it.
This is another idea that will probably only work if you either have a brilliantly designed merchandise range and/or you have a cult-like status as a blogger with some fanatical readers who are a little obsessive about your blog.
Some blog topics lend themselves to this more than others.

Selling Subscriptions


The idea of charging readers for content is one that surfaces from time to time.
While there are numerous websites around the web that do this successfully (community membership sites) I’m yet to see many (any) blogs do it well.
The problem that most bloggers who have tried it have run into is that most topics that you could think to start a blog about already have free sites available.
To make it succeed you would need to have some sort of premium/exclusive content and/or real expertise on a topic.

Blog Networks


Another source for bloggers are blog networks.
There are two ways to make money here:


  • - firstly you can start a network and contract bloggers to write for you
  • - secondly, you might like to join a blog network as a writer

There are many networks out there and all have their own strengths and weaknesses. I’ll attempt to write a post on what to think about when you’re looking at whether to join a network later in this series.

 How To Make Money From Your Blog With Indirect Methods 


We now turn our attention to ways of making money from blogging that is more ‘indirect’ in nature - or how to earn money because of your blog rather than from it.Many of the following methods are the result of the profile and perceived expertise of the blogger themselves.

money
Building a profile as a blogger doesn’t happen quickly and starting a blog with some of these hopes should be seen as a long-term thing. My own experience in this area is that now after 18 months of blogging that it’s only been in the last few months that I’ve had opportunities open in most of these areas.


How To Make Money From Your Blog With Indirect Methods 


When you are perceived as an expert on a topic you will find that people naturally come to you for advice - some of them willing to pay for it. Some niches are probably better positioned than others for their bloggers to get into paid consultancy work of course. Recently, one blogger, who was able to charge himself out at $600 per hour to give advice to a large company. Interestingly I’ve heard of a number of companies in the last 6 months who are developing VOIP services that bloggers will be able to add to their sidebars to enable them to be called by readers for consulting. The systems would have per minute rate on them to automate this consulting process.


Steve Rubel announced that he’d been hired by a bigger PR firm. While he didn’t say it explicitly in his post I suspect that one of the reasons for him landing the job was the profile he’d built over the last year and a half from blogging. Steve’s case is not the only one - bloggers are increasingly being targeted by companies because of their demonstrated abilities in their field of expertise.


There are some businesses who employ people to blog for them either as their main role or part of their role. One example of a company who employed a couple of bloggers was Vespa who now have two blogs.job-board-engine is one site worth following if you’re looking for these types of jobs. Most of the jobs there are from blog networks but occasionally they include businesses looking for bloggers also.



I read through the RSS feeds that I follow it seems that every blogger I read has a book either in progress or coming out. Once again it’s about being seen as an expert in your field - if you can achieve this you will find publishers are more receptive to having an idea pitched to them and at times will even seek you out. This is becoming more common with publishers as they are seeing not only some great writers but that many of them already have large amounts of content on their blogs ready to be pulled together into a book!


Manolo from Shore blogs recently landed a writing gig in the Washington Post Express after he was discovered via his blog. These types of opportunities can be in the form of newspapers, magazines, trade publications etc.
Online Writing Gigs - Similarly some bloggers also land jobs writing for other forms of websites as a result of being discovered from their blogs.


This as direct or indirect (and depending upon how you do it you could probably go either way) but some bloggers are leveraging the expertise they have in an area by putting together their own ‘e-products’ such as e-books, teleseminars, courses etc and selling them to their readers.




One of the benefits of blogging about a niche topic that interests you is that you will begin to connect with others who have similar interests and expertise. As you interact with them it’s amazing to see the opportunities for working together that arise.


This is dependent upon the topic you’re writing about but some lucky bloggers end up with all kinds of opportunities to speak at conferences, workshops, and seminars on their topic of choice. Sometimes they are freebies, other times the conference will cover costs and on other occasions, there are speakers fees.


In conclusion, if you’re planning to use some of these indirect ways of making money because of your blog it’s important that you think seriously about building your own profile and credibility as a blogger,think about the types of people that you respect and look to as experts an consider what they offer in their fields. These people are generally original thinkers that not only report what others are doing, but who provide answers and vision for their industry.

Make Money With Online Business Opportunities


Not everyone that buys a computer and gets connected to the Internet is doing so just for entertainment purposes.A lot of people these days are logging on to find ways to earn cash or even to follow their dreams of becoming an online entrepreneur and make money with online business opportunities.

Opportunities
Some people buy their computers just to try to make money online.

1.You'll need,a list (email list)

2.Chose an online business opportunity - here you can learn about business opportunities

3.Draft a short personal business plan identifying the progress you plan to make each month

Working from home with your computer can be very rewarding. But there may be some pitfalls in your journey. A couple of years ago I read a report that claimed that over 90% of people that try to make money online fail (see page one of the web site why most fail). I’m sure that is not the case now but you still have to pick and choose what type of online business you are getting involved with.

Don’t just pick an online program that claims it will pay you umpteen thousands of dollars per month. A lot of claims by program owners of high profits simply are not true. There are a lot of scams out there but we can still make money online.



Pick something that you are interested in and will use on a regular basis. For instance, if you are interested in building your own website (which would be a good place to start) then you could look for an online program that would teach you how to build your sites. If that online program that shows you how to build a website has a compensation plan then you could make some money with it by sharing it with your friends that may also want their own site.

There are a variety of different types of compensation plans that online programs use. With some, you just get paid once for the sale. Others will pay you a recurring monthly income for making the sale. And other online programs will even pay you when the members you refer also refer other members. These are called MLM compensation plans.



Choosing a program with an MLM compensation plan can be very profitable especially if it is a forced matrix plan. A forced matrix compensation plan only allows so many on your first level, generally 2 to 5. If you refer more than 2 to 5 then they would spill over to help your first level members. Can you see how you could work as a team with this type of compensation plan? Every member is working as a team for mutual profits.

But there is a caveat to watch for. You want to make sure you get credit for the people that you refer otherwise it would be a wasted effort. This article is too short to go into static versus dynamic affiliate sites or cookie referral tracking systems. If the sponsor’s name shows on the affiliate site you may want to take note of it before you join then verify that he or she is your sponsor when you log in. If your sponsor received credit for you joining then you should too. A good sponsor should contact you after you have joined from their affiliate site offering help. If they don’t you may want to contact them.

Use a buddy system. Find a friend in your local area that also wants to make money online and have them join your chosen programs from your affiliate sites. This way you can help each other learn about the program and advertise it, especially if the program has a forced matrix compensation plan. Plus you would already have started building your team. And if the program allows multiple accounts you could join each other affiliates sites with your profits, doubling and tripling your income as your team grows.

Once you have your own website you can expand from there by placing links to other programs on your site. A lot of web site host providers also have a compensation plan so that could be another source of income for you. Include your affiliate link to the program you learned how to build a website from. Advertising programs that have a good compensation plan is another way to diversify your income. You’ll need to advertise anyway. Google Adsense or similar programs are free ways to monetize your website. All the best in your endeavors to make money online. Above all have fun.
