Making affiliate stores

Wednesday, May 4, 2011

The key to a successful business is to be there managing the business and understanding your customers and their needs, but making use of a company who already does all the work and you just have to send them referrals is completely different. The concept differs in the being there part, building on a website to send customers to someone else and you still get paid for moving no product or any customer service skills has changed the way business is done on the internet. This is business on a whole new level where business meetings take place in your underwear on webcam and while you sleep your wallet is growing and inflating with no effort. Now I don't want to sound like you should not care about your web readers or visitors if you will, I simply mean the affiliate company does all the work. Now If you truly care which you should, sometimes the affiliate companies do not have time to answer emails quickly and therefor the people you send to them might contact you instead to get questions answered so take the time to help them.If you are running or making a affiliate store you need to be there for your customers, even though you don't have anything to do with the product or service you can still be there for the people you send to them.

How affiliate stores work and how you can use it to your advantage
You have two options here and both are easy but one is free. You can pay a web company to build a webpage around the affiliate you chose which can be pricey or you can build your own website or blog and build it around the affiliate and make money that way. I believe everyone has thought at one time or another " hey I want to start a business" but then came to realize how much effort and money goes into building one from scratch. So naturally using a business that is already in place in the form of affiliate programs is a sure fire way to fill that piggy bank. Imagine it this way if someone approached you and said I will get you all of my products, store and branding if you just help send the customers my way and I'll pay up to 35% to you of what the customer buys, wouldn't you? People who make affiliate stores do very well and so can you.

Are affiliate programs illiegal

Depending on where you live in the world some affiliate promotions are a grey area usually not enforced but still resides in grey land. The poker community for starters can be illegal to promote in some regions, especially when age comes into play. Liquor and tobacco is another instance of grey areas for you to promote. I am not saying do not do it, I mean I have not ever heard of some one getting a knock on the door for using a affiliate programs since one is truly not responsible for the operation of the affiliate program and any legality issues that come for the ride, you are simply pointing people where the websites are. Now if you are telling people to break the law by using a certain affiliate then well it may just be illegal and ultimately the area in the world which you live will play a major role. So if you are going to promote a program that is in a grey area be careful on which words you use to pre sell the affiliate.

Should I use affiliate programs

Using affiliate programs are a great way to help provide the cost and time of running a blog or website. Depending on your niche you might want to hand pick the affiliate programs instead of just throwing up any old affiliate that has nothing to do with your site. Do not be worried that your niche isn't right for affiliate programs since there is hundreds if not thousands to choose from and implement and if wisely chosen they can become your sole income, of course that is provided you have done the leg work already and you took the time to build your website up without slapping a program without any traffic coming into your blog.

Can affiliate programs make money
This is an easy answer is: of course they can and you shouldn't feel bad about using them either. Many times a reader that comes to your blog will be searching for hours on google to find a product or service that is reliable and fail, so offering an affiliate ad to help your reader find what they are looking for is not only good, but helpful at the same time. When deciding to use affiliate programs one should only consider two things. The first is making sure the affiliate program is not a scam and has many reviews, positive reviews is a must. You do not want to use a program that many users are having difficulty with and there could be many reasons so just ask around and read up on the exact one you choose. The second is please choose the right affiliate for your niche for instance if your blog is about google then don't put affiliate ads that are about stuffed animals!

Can you point me in the right direction
Well I was going to save this for a later post but out of the top of my head I already can point you to a great affiliate program, The name is AffiliateFuture and they are one of the most highly recommended programs out there.

Final thoughts
Stop thinking should I use affiliate programs and start using them today, wasn't that a great final thought?

First post - The concept

So here we go on our way to providing the information you search for without complicated answers. In this blog we will eventually cover affiliate programs, how to use them, why you should use affiliate programs, various other internet marketing idea's and website traffic topics. Sometimes making money only may seem like a joke, the light that you can see but can never reach. It does not have to be this way, in fact it is so easy but its not free money. You will have to do the work and the road is long but once you reach the end you can look back and realize you finally made it.

Most web sites that offer ways to use affiliate programs or make money online promise 10,000 dollars per month by using their program or buying their  E book! are they lying? no is the simple answer, but getting to that kind of monthly income is extremely hard and can require years of work and not the next day fix they claim. More realistically expect to reach maybe 2,000 dollars per month in under a year and growing upon that year after year. There is so many variables that in this first post I do not want to cover the full expectations and explaining every detail, instead only to give you a brief understanding on what this site is about and how future articles will help you or guide you in the right direction, not give you the winning lottery ticket to success. I may be blunt and you will come to know this but I am tired of other pages feeding their readers bull, instead of truly trying to help them. I hope we can grow together, share idea's and learn for each other and I will do my best to share the knowledge I have learned.

Although This website is designed to make an income, I am a true believer in helping others to help yourself and even though I do not know you, my heart is a kind one and I don't want people to struggle through life like I did where no one was willing to lend a true anonymous helping hand.
