Having been exploring the internet marketing field for the last 10 years, I am still very frustrated not knowing how exactly to make money online with Affiliate Programs like ClickBank or Commission Junction that’s Affiliate Marketing.
Please, reply to me only in case you are already making tons of money as a Super Affiliate.
In addition, please do regard me as an absolute beginner to Affiliate Marketing as I have never ever made any money with Affiliate Marketing at all.
Obviously, the main reason I am interested in the Affiliate Marketing field is the fact that I still do not have my own products or services to sell.
What I have realized is that there is a huge amount of scepticism among many potential Affiliates (including myself) when it comes to the important question whether or how I as an ambitious Affiliate can trust the Merchant or how I can be assured that the Merchant will morally and honestly be paying to me (or into my PayPal account) every time I refer them to a customer who then buys the Merchant’s product from my Affiliate link.
Subsequently, my main questions are:

How to research into, find and then select a legitimate Affiliate Program?

How to make sure that the Mechant will really link my PayPal account correctly and properly, so that I know he or she is a genuine and professional person who won’t be cheating or stealing away my hardly earned commissions?

How and where can I create a simple web page (landing page or squueze page) with my affiliate link? Please, once again regard me as an absolute beginner and tell me the step by step process of how to set up or create my Affiliate web page as I really do not know how to.

How to ensure the necessary traffic of potential buyers to my Affiliate web site so that I really start seeing some concrete results that’s making money online? If it’s Pay Per Click that is a solution, please guide me step by step on how to create successful money making Google Adwords campaigns. Or, do you suggest anything better than PPC?

Once again, I am only interested to learn from experienced money making Affiliates and Super Affiliates who have been making lots of money from the Affiliate Programs that they have joined.

Please, do not try to sell me here any cheap ebooks or similar downloadable information products with hyped and long sales copies, because I won’t be wasting my money on these any longer.

If you’re a genuine and successful Affiliate Marketer, please feel free to reach me on my Skype: bruno.bb100

In advance many thanks for your kind help and advices.

Best wishes for the New Year!!

Hi there,

I find it interesting to post such a question on something as public as Yahoo Answers: I wonder how many people will post dozens of affiliate links to GRQ programs etc!

Personally, my experience of affiliate marketing is making a little income through Amazon Associates (laptops and books) and a Wholesale Directory. In every case, the pages with the links on weren’t especially promoting the product in question. You could call this ‘passive affiliate marketing’. I did have a lot of traffic though until I sold up.

My current website, I’m focusing a bit more on active promotion where I feature and talk about the product in question. That way, I can shift higher-ticket items – some of my favourite affiliate programs I’ve featured here: http://www.how-to-build-a-website.co.uk/free-to-join-affiliate-programs.html

I know you’re not going to like the paid material, but Affilorama offers a free level of membership which is quite good. They do promote their premium level of membership ($67 monthly!) and try and entice you in with one-time offers etc. but have a look at the free program. http://www.affilorama.com/

I’ve also got rights to distribute this eBook: http://www.how-to-build-a-website.co.uk/support-files/affiliate-masters-course.pdf – It’s 152 pages long, and it helped me focus on the affiliate marketing strategy for my current site.

Cloncom at http://www.prismlongdistance.com/ pay anywhere in the world using checks or PayPal

features
A salesperson’s diary,Appointments, vehicle handovers and follow-up calls, what vehicle customer currently has and what they like. system automatically connects to the dealer management system and updates details of customers. An electronic brochure guides the salesperson and customer. system also provides product reviews collected and added by the brand and marketing teams. Following a test drive, the CASP can collect customer feedback on the driving experience. stock locator to source the customer’s desired vehicle. if not available, can place an order directly to factory.The finance presenter calculates and presents various financing options. credit checks the customer Finally, should the customer wish to make any amendments to a factory order, this can be done online from the salesperson’s terminal.
What do you see as the advantages and disadvantages from the point of view of the customer and also the salesperson?

Like i’d want the whole management team knowing every call or email or handshake i make…..

Sounds alot more $$$ than having four -color glossy brouchures in showwrrooms and offices. Even the smallest backwater franchises have computer or paper databases to print merge a weekly list of customers’ service cycle, sales cycles

Do SMs want sales staff locating dealer trades? or adding to factory a order? That’s SMs job. Are GMs actually going to buy PCs for 7 to 70 sales people? NIAMY.

Will it make less frequent, or shorten sales meetings?

Glad i could imput….

i want to do emailing job.for example sending marketing mails to many people.how to appy for such kind of jobs ? and which are the reliable sites ?

I have noticed that at http://www.bokrin.com there are marketing/advertising job offers. I am not sure how you would apply for it, maybe just send email and they will inform you what you need to do. If they ask you to send money before starting jobs, it probably would be scam

I know there are a lot of programmes out there that offer money. I see a lot of video’s on YouTube buy are they legit?

I want to know through your experience how to make money via the internet.

Thanks.

Lots of those sites are scams but maybe there could be some out there that are legit, but I currently don’t know of any. If you want to make just a few extra bucks on the internet, there are GPT sites. They are actually real and I use them. The only bad thing about them is that you can’t expect a whole lot from them, only about $50-$100 a month. Below is one site I would recommend.

http://howtogetfreebiescashle.notlong.com

I am currently working with a few CPA Networks. [NeverBueAds, Azoogle, Copeac]

I am doing around 1-2K month now, and I don’t know what I should do about Taxes. All that 102L of revenue is not pure profit, I also have expenses that are used to make that money, about 1K/month. I need to fill out a W-9 form before I could get my earnings. However, I just do it under my own name, as there is really nothing to worry about.

However, would I need to set up something, like a LLC or something, I feel I should only pay taxes in my profits and not on all revenue. So I would be writing off computers, internet, % of my home for office space, and then other things related to my Search Marketing process.

Thank you for any information you may have.

You don’t have to complicate your life and create an LLC, C corp or S Corp.

You can do sole proprietorship right now, especially if you are not in an industry where you are most likely to be sued that you need to do a corporation or LLC to protect your personal assets and separate it from your business assets.

You’re only starting with your business and earnings are not high. You can start slow and do a sole proprietorship

Use Schedule C to list your income and expenses. You can deduct from your taxes your business expenses such as webhosting fees, advertising fees, purchase of computers, office supplies, even do home business deductions if you operate your business from home.

Read the following IRS publications

Small Business and Self-Employed One-Stop Resource http://www.irs.gov/businesses/small/index.html — this is the main page with links to what qualifies as business deductions.
Schedule C instructions http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/i1040sc.pdf

I am very interested in building a web site and going into affiliate marketing, can anyone suggest a good scheme, also what are your views on clickbank?

Thanks.

One of the best I have come across is SiteBuildIt! as you can promote this from your site no matter what the subject. The commissions are excellent and they have a lifetime cookie which means you earn your commission no matter how long after they visited your site that they actually buy.
Also very important is the fact that the product they are selling, the SiteBuildIt! web building programme, is an excellent product.

You can sign up for it here:-
http://affiliatemarketing.sitesell.com/info1114.html

Or if you want to learn a bit more about affiliate marketing in general then take their free e-mail course:-

http://aff-masters.sitesell.com/info1114.html

I have tried clickbank but not with much success, I find all their products a bit too pushy for my liking

Like cj.com

You can try Shareasale. It is a major affiliate network with a good reputation and is highly recommended if you want to be an affiliate.
