EARNING BIG MONEY WITH AN AFFILIATE WEBSITE
I get asked...."How can I earn
money on the internet if I don't have a website
and know nothing about affiliate programs?"

I know.....I hear it all the time...I get asked all the time....
People want their own website, they want to earn some cash online. Most of these
folks do not want to start from square one and learn how to build a website.
Maybe they work full time and have kids...that makes it very hard to squeeze in
time to learn a huge software program. I will say that Frontpage and Dreamweaver
are not as hard as they look - but it will take time to get to a point where
you're not frustrated and pulling out your hair if you begin learning one of
these. Of course you can create a site easily using these programs - but it will
be very elementary looking at first.
I remember my first website. I wish I'd saved it. It's laughable - but I was
learning and I was VERY proud of it. So I say more power to those willing to
take it on and dig right in. I spent MANY night from 10PM until 2AM learning,
struggling and near tears. And yes...I had to get up and go to work the next
day. But I wanted it so badly-and was so fascinated by the internet and web
building - I thought nothing about lack of sleep.
If you can take a class at a local community college for Frontpage or Dreamwever
- I'd consider it. I wish I had done that. I would have saved myself so much
time and energy.
Now - lets get to the point of this article.....AFFILIATE PROGRAMS.
There are tons of affiliate programs out there. Basically an affiliate program
is a referral program. The owner of the product or website or ebook - whatever -
will PAY you a commission if you refer others to what they are selling and those
referrals buy. Simple concept.
There is a lot of money to be made for those that can sell. Sometimes you get
paid .20 for a referral. But if you refer 100 people a month - that's $20 you
didn't have before! The bigger money is in products that offer instant delivery
and high commissions.
If you
find affiliate programs well suited for you, making extra money through
affiliate marketing won’t be a problem.
Now...if you ready to dabble in affiliate programs - and you don't have a
website....there is a program I came across offered by Michael Weston. I've
talked to the developers of this program. They seem very confident in it and
assure me that people really are making money with it. It plainly and simply
explains how to get started.
The program is called
The Affiliate God. They offer third party validation and a
money back guarantee. So in my opinion it's pretty failsafe.
It carries both of the following seals:
According to them - you do not have to create your own product and you do not
have to create a website. It's also, totally internet based. Being strictly an
online venture is appealing to many people.
Of course - no program can guarantee you're going to make money. That's like
buying a lotto ticket and getting upset that you didn't win. Programs that suit
one person - don't suit another. It goes back to effort and drive. Just like my
story in the beginning of this article...
If I hadn't stayed up all those nights for years, struggling, ready and learning
- would MoneyMakingMommy be what it is today? Would it have won awards, been
featured in magazines and newspapers - have the high volume of traffic- and
mainly - allow me to stay at home with my kids (which was the ultimate goal)?
To me - you get out what you put in. I hear people all the time...."I really
tried to make it work....it's a rip off..."
Hmmmm.... I take that with a grain of salt. Because I know the majority of
people DON'T really try. They are worried what friends will say, they don't want
to advertise, they don't want to have home parties.....they want it all to be so
easy - basically handed to them. How do you think successful businesses and
successful become successful?? Moping? Blaming others? Giving something half
effort? Nope - most successful people are driven.
I had a true hunger in my gut to WANT to learn, to WANT to be capable of
accomplishing my goal. So much so - that I continue today....moving forward,
constantly learning, reading. As I grow - my business grows along with me.
This is not a lecture. I am NOT your mom. I have two kids already, thank you
very much.
I can only make suggestions and offer up what I see out here on the money making
horizon. Programs like
The Affiliate God might just be what you're looking for.
I've had two people tell me they earned back their investment in one day. To me
- that's saying something.
Bottom line - pick something and run with it. Give it all you have. And if you
fall down - if it doesn't work out - you don't walk away empty handed. You gain
knowledge of what you like, what you're willing and not willing to do. You learn
so much about yourself - and that's a stepping stone in the right direction
toward success.
Look for offers that have refund policies, that offer a SECURE way to purchase
their product and have some type of support/contact information. These are
minimum requirements when I'm looking at something.
I truly wish you the best! Now go get 'em!
