Whenever someone is looking for honest ways to make money, I always have to refer them to affiliate marketing. While some had no idea that affiliate marketing even existed prior to our conversation, others wonder why there is such a disparity in this sector. For instance, many have asked me this very question: “Why do some affiliates make less than$200 per month while the top affiliates go on to make as much as $3,000-$30,000 per month?” It all comes down to what you put in.
The truth of the matter is that many individuals want things to come easily without having to work for them. The unfortunate thing is that so many scam artists use this to their advantage by making false promises of overnight success at a click of a mouse. As a result, the victim learns an unfortunate lesson from the School of Hard Knocks. However, on the positive side, if you have the desire to learn and work towards a goal, then you can earn a substantial income as an affiliate. The steps which you need to take are laid out for you below.
These factors seem so simple and are often neglected but they are immensely powerful once applied.

1. Locate Your Targeted Niche
This is a big one folks. Find a targeted market with a large volume of potential customers, and low competition, and you will be laughing all the way to the bank. The way that you go about doing this is by first determining which keywords or key phrases are applicable to a niche which you are interested in. Thereafter, find out how many people are searching for those keywords each month by using a tool such as Google Adwords: Keyword Tool. Next, determine how many websites are competing to rank in the search engines for those keywords or key phrases by simply conducting a search in the search engines. Thereafter, you will be able to see in the top right of the screen, how many competing websites exist. Of course, you want the search volume to be high, and the competing websites to be low. Once you have found a niche, locate affiliate programs within that niche which you can promote and earn a commission.
2. Build Your Own Website
Once you have determined which niche you will begin to target, it is time to create a website. I know that some of you are getting anxious right now, but do not worry. Content management systems such a Joomla! have made it incredibly simple for anyone to design an amazing website with absolutely zero html experience. Once you have registered your domain name, and chosen your Joomla! template, it is time to create content for your website which is focused towards your niche market. Essentially, you want your website to become an information resource for your target market. At this point, you will not be selling anything, just providing information.
3. Build Your Email List
Of course, you are not providing all of this educational content on your website to your visitors for nothing. Your goal is to get your visitors’ email addresses so that you can build your email list. Thus, you need to make sure that there is an opt-in form on every single page of your website. Thereafter, you must offer you visitors something of value which must be delivered via e-mail. For example, you can offer free software, a newsletter subscription, or a free eBook. Just offer something of value which is related to your target market. Moving forward, provide your subscribers with valuable, niche specific information on a weekly basis.
4. Keep on Putting Out Free Information
Make sure that you post all valuable information which you come across on your website. However, make sure that they quality is high, and the information is not redundant. Give out as many free resources as you can on your website so that your subscription rate continues to climb.
5. Stay In Tune With What Your Niche Is Looking For
In the course of writing your newsletter. Try to build relationship with your list by constantly replying each and every email. Show them you actually care for them by pre-selling yourself. Let them know you are interested in them as a person and not just someone who is interested in making a quick bucks. Give off yourself freely and you will earn their trust and confidence. Find out what products they actually need.
6. Select The Ideal Product For Your Subscribers
Once you have gained the trust and loyalty of your email subscribers, they will view you as a trusted source because they know you. I doubt that there is one person reading this article right now who has not made a purchase based upon the recommendation of a trusted source. Not surprisingly, the only products which you will recommend are those which you will earn an income on the sale of. The two things that you must ensure, however, is that the products will truly benefit your subscribers, and that they are of high quality. The truth is that if you recommend a product which should never have been recommended, you will lose the trust and confidence of your subscribers.
7. Light A Fire Underneath Your Subscribers
Send out your recommendation or review on the product and make it seem like a special offer that has a time span within which the price will be increased, this will make your offer to be sold out fast. You will be amazed at the result you will get this time. You can easily make tens of thousands of dollars this way.
8. Repeat These Steps
Specifically, you will want to repeat steps 4-7 every 2-4 months. Just remember that you have to recommend products which are of high quality, and are relevant to your subscribers. Keep in mind that credibility and trust are at stake.
