Affiliates that Have Value

When you do start marketing an affiliate program, do some snooping first. Go to Craiglist and the other free services and see how many people are marketing the same thing.

Remember that there are literally hundreds of people marketing the same thing over and over and many people are still buying it. I mean - how many people are there in this world that are going to buy essentially the same eBook over and over??!?

People are still making sales, but they are doing it because they own the product and the rest of the world is selling it like crazy. If you are going to have any kind of success, you will have to advertise and be AGGRESSIVE about it.

Still, if you product sucks, you arent' going to have much of a market for it. That is why you need to shop around!

Ameriplan

Ameriplan is a company which markets discount programs for vision, dental, and prescription drugs. However, many affiliates who have joined this program are very disappointed and leave the program almost immediately after they sign up.

You see, Ameriplan charges you a monthly fee to be part of their affiliate program. Also, you are required to purchase additional materials - something they don't tell you about until you are already signed up and committed. Many ex-affiliates on ripoffreport.com are saying the company seems more motivated to take money from it's affiliates than to promote their discount cards.

If you are going to spend your time and energy on marketing something, you should avoid dealing with companies who are going to charge you for membership and for materials on an on-going basis. There are too many good affiliate programs to get stuck with one that just wants to empty your wallet.

If you are really and truly interested in earning money online with no ongoing costs, this is the program you need to see!

BAD BAD BAD

This is the worst program you can possibly buy into. It is called ROADMAP TO RICHES, and it basically takes $1000 from you.

Of course, it does allow you to sell the same junk to the next sucker - usually consisting of a bunch of e-books that are basically worthless. You see, most of the e-book information that they offer is available at your public library. To really make money you really have to offer something of value.

When I see all the poor losers on all the free web sites posting the Roadmap To Riches bullshit, I just cringe! There is no money in this. If you make one or two sales a month, you are extremely lucky!

You WILL see lots of people posting positive articles about ROADMAP TO RICHES, but that is because they are associated with it and are paying $49 per month PLUS $59 for credit card processing. They MUST earn money or get completely ruined!

Don't do this program, you are just looking to have your money stolen. Nobody is going to pay their $999 or $499 for whichever program they offer. If you want a real program with guaranteed results AND a refund policy, check this out! Just don't fall for bullshit that is going to steal $1000 from you!

BIG Income from Affiliate Programs

Working online isn't as easy as people say. I spend a few dollars doing different things before I found something that really paid off. Now I do most of my income-generation online, but I do have some side projects that pay cash in the real world. I don't claim my cash income for taxes, but I do pay taxes on my internet income. You have to, unfortunately, because the services you must work with will report your earnings to the IRS. When those mouth breathing lickspittles at the IRS see a lot of 1099's with no return to match them to, they send them on to be investigated. You don't want that.

There are a few things to watch out for.

If you visit Craigslist often, you will see "Work-at-home" opportunities all over the place. 99% of these are Multi-level things that are complete ripoffs. They want you to join for some insanely high "fee" and then you find out you are marketing a product that has no desirability in the market whatsoever. I'm sure some of you are incredible marketers and can "make it happen" so to speak, but in general, if they charge you for the "opportunity" to sell the product, then it's a bad deal to begin with.

ALSO, you will see things such as Excite Cash, or similar programs. These are XXX-rated industry jobs where you will use Yahoo Messenger or AIM to con horny guys into giving up their credit card number for either a sex show or a subscription to a directory of prostitutes. I signed up for one of these services (the one I was with is now out of business, go figure) and made some pretty good money. CL blocked all my URLs, so I spaced out the internet address and routed the guys to blogs on Blogger and Wordpress. I was earning about $150-$200 per day just doing that. I'd post ads, watch the sales click in - it was great! Of course, it didn't last too long.

You see, you cannot trick people into buying something they don't want. You have to be very honest about the sale. The company (read "con artist") I worked for was telling his employees (us) that we were legitimately referring guys to a service when we were really just getting them signed up for an out-of-date directory of old prostitutes.

Finally, I joined the world of affiliate marketing. I have made at least $200 per day simply marketing programs through blogs. It's not wonderful money, but it's pretty damn good. The more blogs I put up with ads, the more I make.

When you go looking for an opportunity, you will come across so many scams and people selling old information that you will get frustrated quickly. The people like me who earn a living off the internet WON'T generally tell you that making money online isn't easy. It takes a lot of time. You have to join Google's AdSense and have a lot of blogs. That will guarantee you at least a few dollars a day. If you are earning from $25-$50 a day from AdSense, you are doing fucking great! Remember, you have to have a buttload of visitors to your blog to make it pay off. There are ways to do this, but I'll save that for another blog entry.

Second, you will have to join Google AdWords and then sign up for the best affiliate programs. It is a little tough to learn how to make it pay off - and you will have to spend a little money. What the other affiliate marketers and bloggers won't tell you is that it takes a few months to get off the ground.

It does get to the point where you are simply writing a few articles per day, but that situation doesn't arrive until you've been blogging and writing and advertising for MONTHS!!!

So, if you do want to get started online, just leave a comment and I'll get back to you personally with details. Don't go spending shitloads of money on some program full of old information.

If you must get started immediately, the best program around is The Rich Jerk. He tells you all the secrets and you can start generating income the first month. I bought this program and it really speeded up my money generation. Of course, for blogging and running ads, I'll give you all that information for free.

More stuff on earning online later.

The Best Affiliate Program I've found...

There are a lot of ways to make money online, but it takes a few weeks to get going. The folks you see advertising all the time are really making buckets of money. I know, I make great money. I love to type and chat and be on message boards.

People either love what you have to say or they hate it, but they do come to your site to talk, to argue, to read, etc. When they get there, you have an audience!

The secret to Internet Success is simply understanding that for every 200 visitors to your website, someone is going to buy what you are selling. So, if you are selling gourmet coffee, get ready to wait a while before someone buys a can from you online. Remember that there are close to a billion customers out there. They all want different things, but you don't have to reach all of them, just as many as you can.

When you blog, you create an audience that will respond to you. They may like you, they may hate you, but they are dropping in to read and see your opinion - or your thoughts. Remember to advertise to them and lead them to make money.

I love what I do. I call it "living on free money" because I don't really work for it. I get up at about 8:00am every day and slowly have a cup of coffee while I read the days news online. Then I go workout, swim at the beach, maybe do some snorkeling, etc.

After that I meet Pam for lunch and we talk about how the day is going. We are having an extended-vacation life and everything is going so well these days. I love my life. If the Internet didn't exist, I don't know what I would do - probably be a bum and beg for change. This is so much easier, just chatting and postings.

Of course there is much more to it and THIS IS THE SYSTEM I used to get started. It took me about 5 weeks before I was earning $200 per day, but I did it! Now I'm making about $360-$420 per day which is astonishing to me.

We are doing so well that my dreams of having our own custom home is really looking like a reality!

No Income From Your Affiliate Program ?

That's because it probably sucks.

I go to a lot of affiliate discussion boards where the folks really believe in their program - yet they are still not making enough sales!

Remember that you need to have several hundred visitors to your links before you start to see sales. You cannot simply post a few ads and hope for the best. It doesn't work that way. You need to have so many links that you are guaranteed at least a few THOUSAND links every day.

If you aren't hitting the multiple thousands of hits, you are going broke fast. It isn't easy to do this and you'll need to know several marketing strategies. Most of them are free, but some of them do cost a tiny bit to get started. I'm talking about $20 to generate $100 worth of sales, so it isn't completely free, but most of the strategies are. If you want the comprehensive answers, you really need to see THIS PACKAGE and get started now.

So Many Affiliate Marketing Programs!

If you are like me, you are wondering what the hell happened to Internet marketing! What was once an easy way to score some money quickly has become very difficult. Of course, there are some ways to make money quickly, but you aren't going to score $1000 your first week. It's more of a gradual "building up" which most of the internet marketers won't tell you.

You see, to be a successful affiliate marketer, you have to have several things going for you. First you have to have a product that is actually desirable. It has to be a product that people actually want to buy. Remember that money, sex, and the more basic drives are what compel people to spend money. If you really want to make money quickly, you are going to have to market something that people are motivated to buy. Think like your customer!

If you want all the answers on how to make money quickly, there really is only one system that can get you up and running right away. THIS IS IT!! This is the program I started with and I've made enough money to stop working in Insurance - thank God!! Now I don't have to worry about making 150-200 phone calls a day and facing endless rejection. I can get by with letting my free websites make all the money for me.

Don't think you can't do it! It took me about two months of working steadily to earn enough money to sit home. I didn't realize how lucky I was to have found the Net Salaries program until I woke up with the flu one Tuesday morning and realized I didn't have to go into the office. What a relief! I could work from home while feeling completely miserable!

Get started today and within a very short time you'll have money rolling in.
