What do I
need to do?
A.
Build a site. Remember, it is important to have a
content and design which is geared to one purpose
or one particular idea. There are several online
resources to help - webmonkey.com
, htmlcodetutorial.com,
wordpress .
Do you want to offer coupons and deals, shopping
comparision site, or a niche site which is a site
not being used as a shopping site but a content
site. The niche/content site usually has
affiliate links which relate your overall content.
Here is an example of one of my niche site applecontrol.com.
The site is dedicated to iPhones/iPods and Apple
products. Any links I add relate to those items.
B.
Then you'll need good affiliate programs to
promote. I already mentioned Amazon's program.
There are many out there.
Here's a
partial list of affiliate programs with numerous
products and sellers to promote:
1.ClickBank
- one of the more popular programs. The
majority of their sellers have products that are
instantly delivered. Downloadable files/programs,
access to private websites. If, you're a seller
(vendor) and would like to sell your product on
ClickBank, click
here.
2. Commission
Junction - one of the largest site. Has a
very diverse group of vendors.
3. Hydra
- affiliate network with more exclusive campaigns.
4. Linkshare
- affiliate program similar to Commission
Junction.
Include
either a Google or Yahoo sponsor link section.
They will pay you for clicks.
C.
Add your links. The process is usually very
simple. With most sites, it's just copy and paste.
Try to keep related items on a page.

D.
Now for the real work- Promotion. You need to let
people know you're out there.
You'll
need to make sure your site is search engine
optimized. There are lots of sites with info on
how to do that. There are also programs to
automate the procedure. You want the search
engines to find you.
You can
use play-per-click to get visitors to your site
through site such as Google or Yahoo. The cost may
not be justified in the beginning.
What you need to do to get off to a faster start
is promote your site or page on: Twitter, Digg,
FaceBook, YouTube, blogs, forums, newgroups
etc.,etc. They're all free and when you post, you
will usually see immediate visitation.
Write an article related to your content and
submit it through one the article submission sites

E.
Check your reports - affiliate programs usually
have many reports so you can evaluate your
promotions and the success of individual links.
