Affiliate Marketing – Build Your Fortune Today!

October 28, 2008

A recent sellout of Bankaholic fetched Johns Wu, fifteen million dollars. It makes me wonder if online marketing or affiliate marketing as it is popularly called can be an easy source of income for someone who is trying to make quick bucks and a fortune.

What exactly is affiliate marketing to start off with?

Affiliate Marketing is nothing but a simple system, where several people help a business owner to get new customers for a commission in return.

With the advent of World Wide Web, knowledge and information being shared over the internet has in fact become essential. If you have a store or a business, and you do not market your services online, or do not have an “online presence”, you are leaving your cash on the table. One of the most popular and successful beneficiary of the affiliate system has been Amazon.com, whose online book sales grew by numbers due to an affiliate marketing system.

Affiliate networks act as intermediaries between the affiliates and the store/business owner. It is a network that provides adequate content or relevant advertisements to the affiliate marketer/web publisher. A small portion of what the publisher makes is taken by the affiliate network for their services. An affiliate networks’ services might include several tools including, tracking expertise and reporting tools for the publisher. On the other hand the business owner benefits with a wide database of probable online publishers.

To me affiliate marketing is definitely an option to make easy money, all you would barely need is a website of your own, flair of smart writing and of course topics which appeal to the readers. One also needs to be aware of building content optimized for search engines to fetch free traffic to your sites that would produce affiliate income for you. I know this might sound just too big for someone who actually have not dealt with website building or affiliate marketing – but believe me – with little hard work you can start making money online with ease.

Affiliate Marketing System is a win-win for everyone on the trade. The business owner pays for the marketing efforts only when a desired action takes place (i.e. purchase/lead/registration/download etc) while an affiliate marketer can be assured that he would get paid for providing customers for the business owner due to the presence of the affiliate networks as intermediaries. The affiliate networks too, take their share for the services rendered. Hence, it is a win-win situation for all players of the industry.

If you are looking to build your fortune through the web, then undoubtedly Affiliate Marketing is the best way to do it. RocketProfit, Neverblue and AzoogleAds are the best money spinners for me and I recommend you to take advantage by joining these networks.

You can start building your fortunes by promoting their offers and…
to start off, today is always the best day!

Affiliate Marketing : Back To Work

August 21, 2008

It’s 8 days past Affiliate Summit East 2008…

I am back in Chennai, my hometown in India. Even though my return journey from New York was hectic & tiring with 22 flying hours, the thought of the pleasant experiences I had in this business tour – eased my tiredness. The view of the Liberty Statue is still doing it’s round in my mind… The view of the New York City from the Empire State Building… an evening at the Times SquareMac BurgersStarbucks Coffee… the list would go on & on!

At New York – I took the opportunity to visit the offices of AzoogleAds & Rocketprofit – two of my favorite affiliate networks.

My AM at AzoogleAds, Emily – took me around their beautiful office. It was nice that Emily introduced me to her colleagues and seniors in the business. Now, it becomes even more personal when doing business with AzoogleAds!

I just can’t forget the meeting with Matt Wasserman – my AM at RocketProfit. Their new office was just getting the final touches when I visited. The massive work space brings all their departments under one roof which is now located in three parts. These guys are growing really fast!

I have never met Matt before, but chatted a lot in the past few months. It was nice to meet him in person and time flew by over lunch, by just getting to know each other’s business & lifestyle. Working from their office for over an hour, I was able to trash all misconceptions & it has laid a good foundation for me to work on with RocketProfit more aggressively!

Now, back in Chennai – I need to get back to work. It’s going to be different from here since I have learn’t a lot of informations, ideas, techniques & secrets from my first business tour. As I had worked on a homework plan before I started my journey to the Affiliate Summit, it is equally important to test & put into action – whatever I have learn’t from the Summit.

So, I am working at a plan to list out all the new informations I have gathered – and schedule a time frame to test them before I fly to the next subject. I will also be posting all my experiments & results in this blog, hence be ready to use my testing results and take yours to the next level. You are always welcome to share your thoughts with me, right over here and also on my next posts about my experiments.
