Without a doubt one of the easiest ways to start making money
online is to join one or more affiliate programs. You need only to ‘brainstorm’
a couple different ways to start a business and include some of the more
critical details in getting started, to realize which are easiest.There are affiliate
programs where you can promote tangible products such as in an ‘independent
distributor’ situation where you will drop-ship to your customers; you can
promote digital products such as would be delivered online by download –
software, different technical
services, etc.; and you can
promote the affiliate program itself to earn commissions for referrals. You might want to
consider a combination of these as some are easier to sell (in addition to
easier to implement). This may include a combination of one-time-sales and
residual income which recurs monthly. It may be easier to make a one-time-sale
as there isn’t as much commitment involved as in residual income.
However residual income could be considered ‘working smarter’
since you make the sale once and continue to earn money from that initial sale.
(this doesn’t mean rest on your laurels because you always want to be pursuing
new business as people do quit, etc.). No matter which business model(s) you
choose, it will require your engagement and making a consistent effort over time to
really build a substantial business. You may want to start
with just one and build that up and make sure it is running fine before you
start to branch out to another business. It depends on you and whether or not
you consider yourself a multi-tasker – not to mention how much time you may
have to devote to your business over time. Some people can do more than one
thing at a time and do them all well, while others really need to focus on one
thing at time.
The bottom line is that affiliate programs will usually give you
some very important resources to work with just for joining the program. These
include a sales page which is a type of website that has your affiliate link
imbedded. When anyone responds to the ad, the sale will be directed to your
credit and the company will pay you a commission. So with this you are cutting
out possibly years of learning how to create a web page, or possibly some serious money to have one created for you. Another really critical element that you
couldn’t easily do yourself as a beginner, is to provide customer service
including to process the sales transaction itself – the payment gateway, the
communications, the problem resolution if any, etc. So never begrudge an
affiliate program the membership fees they may charge as they have really
earned it by providing you with real value to help you to easily have a business.
