Creating
Wealth with Affiliate Programs:
Getting Rich with No Money Down
Copyright 2005 Sean Gum
The
question I am asked the most is, "How can I create
additional income streams if I don't have any money
to get started?" This article is going to teach you
exactly that:
-how to create additional income streams using the
Internet
- without requiring any money to get started...
If you search for Work-at-Home or Make Money Online,
youwill have literally millions of websites to visit
that promise you the next best way to get rich...
for a fee...
You can spend hundreds of dollars researching all of
the business opportunities on the Internet. But more
times than not, the money you spend only supplies
information on everything else you need to buy to
get started.
Well have no fear! I am going to show you some of
the secrets I use to creating income streams with no
money down!
I realize that a lot of you are living paycheck to
paycheck. Everything coming in, quickly goes right
back out. My intention of writing this article is to
help you break out of this cycle with Affiliate
Programs.
What are Affiliate Programs?
Affiliate Programs are used to promote a product or
service through a cost-per-action advertising model.
Simply put, website owners will pay you a commission
for every person you send to their website that
either buys their product or service, or perform
some other type of action such as
filling out a survey...
Amazon.com built a huge following by utilizing
Affiliate Programs. A website owner simply put a
unique link on their website that Amazon.com
provided them. Every time someone clicked on their
unique link and ordered a book, the website owner
would be paid a commission - usually a percentage of
sales.
Banner ads or text ads are used to drive the traffic
to the affiliate website. For example, one website
might say "Click here to order Sean's Latest Book."
When someone clicks on the link, it will go to
exactly where they can order the book at Amazon.com.
High traffic websites benefit greatly by this
business model since they can drive a lot of people
to the affiliate websites which results in a lot of
commissions being earned.
But what if I don't have a website?
I know, you don't have a website, right? Or maybe
you do, but you don't get a lot of traffic? I have
good news...
BLOGS = FREE TRAFFIC
Over the last couple years, a new type of website
has come onto the scene. They are called BLOGS. A
blog is like a personal diary of articles that you
post that people can read and comment on.
A couple examples: http://fortunedreams.blogspot.com
http://ulosefast.blogspot.com
You can use a BLOG to drive visitors to affiliate
links without having to have a website. If you look
at the fortunedreams blog above, you will notice
that at the end of every article is a link that says
"Click here for FREE Information on Working at Home-FortuneDreams.com"
If you click on that link, it will go to an
affiliate link which redirects you to a free survey
to fill out.
For every person that completes that free survey, I
get paid $2.25. Not too bad, eh?
So How Do I Do It?
Step 1: Open a free affiliate account. Go to
http://www.magmoney.com and join the affiliate
program here. This affiliate program will allow you
to earn $2.25 for every free survey completed.
Step 2: Login to your affiliate account. At
the top of the screen, you will see some TABS. Click
on the tab that says "CREATE YOUR LINKS." Then click
on the link that says "CLICK HERE To get banner and
text link code to advertise our three different
websites."
The first website listed will allow you to refer
other people to join the MagMoney Affiliate Program.
For every person that signs up through your link,
you will get paid 75 cents for every person THEY get
to complete a free survey. (You might not want to
promote this one until later - when you have a
friend that wants to do what you are doing... You
can then get paid on their efforts!)
The second website listed will allow you to send
traffic to a weight loss website. If you want to
create a blog about weight loss, then you will want
to use this for your affiliate link.
The third website listed will allow you to send
traffic to a Work at Home website. If you want to
create a blog about Working at Home, then you will
want to use this for your affiliate link.
Step 3: Decide which website you want to
promote from Step #2, and click on the CLICK HERE
that is next to it to create your unique affiliate
link.
Once you do that, you will get a list with your
unique affiliate link along with about 10 banner
ads. Disregard the banner ads since we will not be
using them on the Blog.
Step 4: Write down the affiliate link that is
listed under the heading "Basic Affiliate Url:".
If you are doing a weight loss blog, your link would
look something like this:
http://www.mailorderwork.com/gl/g.o/USERNAME/http://www.ulosefast.com
(Except all on one line.)
Step 5: Go to http://www.Blogger.com and
create a free Blog account.
Step 6: Go ahead and create your first blog,
whether it is for Work at Home or Weight Loss.
Step 7: Post articles to your Blog with your
affiliate link posted at the end of every article
you post. (Refer back to http://fortunedreams.blogspot.com
to get an idea of what to post.)
Do the same thing I did with the "Click here for
FREE Information on Working at Home-FortuneDreams.com"
But make sure you link it back to YOUR unique
affiliate link that you wrote down from Step #4.
Where Do I Find Articles?
The easiest way would be to simply copy them from
one of my blogs listed in the examples above. Or
visit one of the free article websites such as
http://www.SubmitYourArticle.com . There are
literally thousands of articles for the taking. You
will want to search for articles that fit the topic
of the link you are promoting.
For example, if you are promoting the Work at Home
link, you would want articles pertaining to Work at
Home.
Step 8: Promote your Blog! There are hundreds
of Blog Directories and RSS Directories that you can
submit to that are free of charge. When you create a
blog at http://www.Blogger.com, you also get a
free RSS feed of
your Blog. You simply add /atom.xml to the end of
your Blog.
For example: The blog http://fortunedreams.blogspot.com/
would be http://fortunedreams.blogspot.com/atom.xml
as an RSS feed.
This allows you to submit it to all the RSS and Blog
Directories that you can find...
Step 9: VERY IMPORTANT: After EVERY article
that you post to your blog, go to
http://www.pingomatic.com and submit your blog.
Click on ALL the Services to Ping and then submit
pings.
This tells many of the popular Blog directories that
you have a new article posted. The more articles you
post, the higher your ranking (and the more traffic
they will send you!)
So be sure to do this after every article you post.
Step 10: Post new articles on your Blog
several times a day. Try to post at least a dozen or
more new articles on a daily basis to achieve the
best results.
So there you have it! A completely, absolutely free
way to start generating income with the Internet
from the comfort of your own home...
Of course you can repeat the process over and over
again creating as many blogs as you want. You can
also use this method with any of the hundreds of
other affiliate programs on the Internet.
Utilizing this method, you should be able to build
up an extra income from several hundred dollars a
month to several thousand - depending on how hard
you work at it.
Now that you are earning a little bit of pocket
money, put $250 aside for a special opportunity to
turn it into hundreds of thousands of dollars with
the ultimate leverage!
I'll tell you all about it in my next article about
my favorite Business Model - Network Marketing...
Good luck and God bless!
