Affiliate Marketing Diary -- Posts of a Budding Internet
Entrepreneur
Affiliate marketing on the internet is one of the biggest
buzzwords today. All over the world, people are looking for ways
to make money on the internet. Like many business owners, many
have tried and most have failed and given up. This is the story
of one budding internet entrepreneur in his quest for financial
freedom and a review of the different forms of affiliate
marketing.
The world of internet marketing is a vast one. All interested
parties are looking for the same thing -- to make money and gain
financial freedom. Some have little patience and others have a
lot. There are opportunities for all personality types.
Below are examples of some such opportunities.
Google Adsense
By placing the famous "Ads by Google" on their developed
websites, affiliate marketers earn what is called PPC, or "pay
per click" revenue each time a visitor clicks on the ad. It is
one of the easiest methods of earning revenue on the internet
but the amounts are individually small and so volume is key.
Increasing the number of visitors and their "click through rate"
is the objective here.
Amazon Products
Amazon, the world's largest online store, allows internet
entrepreneurs to place ads for books, DVDs and other consumer
products on their websites. If a visitor sees a featured product
on the affiliate marketer's website and then decides to buy it,
the website owner will earn a tidy comission from the sale.
Other retailers also operate a similar scheme to Amazon but the
idea is the same -- to target the big ticket products.
Adult websites
"Sex sells" as they say. It always has done and continues to do
so, even in times of recession in the general economy. Whilst
most visitors to adult sites are looking for freebies, the
traffic potential to an adult site is so high that even a tiny
conversion of traffic into sales can result in large revenues
for the affiliate marketer. Blogs are a recent foray and popular
theme in the adult website world of the affiliate marketer and
offer new and lucrative possibilities.
