If you don't have the smarts to create your own "how to manual" or the resources to sell you own great invention, then the next best thing is affiliate marketing. Actually, it's better than the next best thing, because it doesn't cost you anything. There are already hundreds of successful opportunities available – all you need to do is tap into that proven success.
Affiliate Marketing benefits both parties because it brings together a product developer with a product marketer (that’s you). The developer benefits because there is greater exposure for the product and this in turn provides more customers. The marketer saves on the time, effort and money required to develop a successful product, but allows them to make money by selling it. In other words, Affiliate Marketing is the online version of being a sales rep working on commission.
The secret to success is to find a good market segment and then build a web site with multiple affiliates. In other words, don’t put all your eggs in one basket. What about a web site that promotes student loan providers? It’s a big business and there are all kinds of businesses who will (and do) pay handsomely to find new clients. You could build a site that provides some basic information about how to get a loan and then provide links to a number of recommended lenders. Each of those lenders, of course, are your affiliates and they pay you for each referral.
There are many great ideas and lots of affiliate opportunities out there. There are also a number of affiliate networks where you can go to find companies looking to partner with you. The first place to stop is ClickBank which is a popular clearing house for many online products and services. For wholesale products another good place to start is Sale Hoo. Both these sites offer user friendly systems and easy start up.
