What Is Affiliate Marketing ?

Affiliate marketing is basically in short, selling others’ products as an affiliate. An affiliate is like an independent salesperson that gets a commission on each completed sale. You can be an affiliate of many affiliate programs or just one. It’s your choice. And you can sell anything online from physical products like DVDs, vitamin supplements to digital products like ebooks and music MP3 files. Becoming an affiliate is not a difficult task on the internet. There are dozens of affiliate programs online that accepts almost everyone into their program. And registration is in most cases, free.

The job of the affiliate is to expose the product to potential buyers. Making the sales however does require some work on your part as an affiliate. The whole marketing process can be an interesting one albeit challenging for some. When I first started on affiliate marketing, I too faced some difficulties in getting it right. But I soon learnt through ebooks, forums and from people who made it good. Affiliate marketing is one of the greatest opportunity and indeed easiest ways for anyone to make a fortune online. The Dot Com boom and increasing interest and usage of the internet as the main source for information has created many opportunities for products to be sold online.

Anyone can get started and do it full time or part time. It does not matter what you are doing offline for a living. You can be a teacher, an engineer, a banker, a doctor (yes, there are doctors who switched to affiliate marketing as their new career), a retail sales assistant, a crane operator, a full-time mother or even a teen. Yes, there are some celebrity affiliate marketers who dropped out from college to pursue affiliate marketing. Surely, there must be something alluring?

How to succeed in Online Business

Characteristics of a Successful Entrepreneur
1. Guts.
2. Brains.
3. Capital.


Step-by-Step Approach
1. Decide if you really want to be in business.
2. Decide what business (Selling, Affiliate Marketing, PPC, Article Writing or
    everything).
3. Decide whether to start full-time or moonlight.
4. Do proper Keyword Research before you begin.
5. Choose whether you want to have your own Website or a Blog.
6. Market your website or blog through all possible means (Dont depend too
    much on any one, even Google).


Things to Watch Out For
1. Impatience. Do not let overconfidence short-circuit you from analyzing your selection of businesses carefully. You must not fear of hearing the negative aspects; it is much better to be aware of them and face them early on.
2. Be realistic. Do not become lured by high rewards. They will come if you choose the right business and if you understand every aspect of the business before you open its' doors.


TOP FIVE DO'S
1. Make a comparative analysis of all opportunities you are considering.
2. Talk to lots of people in your intended business for advice.
3. Objectively measure your skills and training against potential competition.
4. Consider subcontracting to low cost suppliers if you're manufacturing a
    product.
5. Make "for" and "against" list describing the specific business you are
    considering.


TOP FIVE DON'TS
1. Don't even think about leaving your job until you have completed start-up
    plans.
2. Don't consider starting a business in a field you do not enjoy.
3. Don't risk all the family assets. Limit your liabilities to a predetermined
    amount.
4. Don't be in a hurry to select a business. There is no penalty for missed
    opportunities.
5. Don't be afraid to seek out and learn the negative aspects of an intended
    business.
