Making Affiliate Income
What are the Steps to Making Affiliate Income? by Cyndie

Many Internet marketers suggest that affiliate marketing is
a great way to make money online. I believe that it is best
to have a roadmap to learn how to do something. There are
several steps that if you follow them will help you to make
money online through affiliate marketing and making
affiliate money. This article will show you six steps to
making money online the affiliate way.
The first step in making money online the affiliate way is
to choose a product to market. I always suggest that you
start out selecting a product that you are interested in or
that you have some knowledge or expertise in. This just
makes it easier to get started and easier to stick with. I
am interested in Internet marketing and making money online,
so I started looking for courses that taught something about
making money online. Maybe you are interested in dogs. You
might look for products about dogs to market.
The second step is to setup and create a website. Now I do
present this as the second step, but I want to make it clear
that you can be an affiliate and not have your own website.
However, I believe that to be the most successful, you are
going to want to have a website. By having a website, you
can get traffic, presell you customers, and then send the
customers to the affiliate site. When you create your
website, you will have a domain name, and a hosting company
that will hold your webpages, email autoresponder and have
high speed access to the Internet so that your customer will
be able to access this site.
The third step to making money online the affiliate way is
to get traffic to your website. Now it is important to make
note that we don't just want traffic for the sake of getting
traffic, but we want traffic coming to our site that are
interested in what we have to promote. This type of traffic
is called targeted traffic. If I am interested in dog
products, I certainly won't be visiting a horse product
site.
The fourth step is to create an email list of customers. You
will be able to use this list to offer other products to.
This list will have an email address for the different
people that have come to your site and actually given you
their name and address.
The fifth step will be to assess your conversions. There are
different types of conversions, with the main one being the
percentage of people that visit your site divided by the
number of sales. Another article will be devoted the
understanding conversions.
The sixth step is a step that you will spend a lot of time
doing after the initial set-up. This will be tracking your
results. The main measurement that I want to know is how
much did I make and was it a loss or did I make a profit. I
want to know how many people came to my site. I also want to
know where the visitors came from. That way, I will be able
to determine which sources I should continue to use. The
next measurement that I want to check on is how many people
did I add to my list. For those that I added to my list, I
also want to find what percentage of those people purchased
a product. Finally I want to take a look at my money. I need
to find out how much did I spend in advertising and then how
much money did I actually take in.
These are the steps to make money online the affiliate way.
Further articles will be written surrounding each of these
steps. Each of these steps will be used in the process of
making money online the affiliate way.
