Build a Perpetual Income Stream Through Online Affiliate Marketing


Make your current Website or Blog more profitable with On-Line Affiliate Marketing Programs...... LEARN HOW

You can build a perpetual income stream with the relatively new business of Online Affiliate Marketing. This business has been spawned by the tremendous growth of the World Wide Web. This is an opportunity where you can build a website (or use your current website) to make you money around the clock whether you are working on it or not.


WHAT IS AFFILIATE MARKETING?
Affiliate Marketing is online marketing that makes it possible for websites to share traffic on a revenue sharing basis.

In an affiliate marketing relationship you partner with advertiser sites that offer commissions to your Affiliate Site for referring visitors to their site. In other words, your website becomes a commissioned sales person for the advertiser. You earn a commission when a visitor to your site clicks on the advertisers banner or ad and one of the following actions takes place:

1. Your site visitor 'clicks' on the advertiser's ad and views or visits the advertiser's site.

2. Your site visitor fills out a form on the advertiser's site and 'lead' information is captured.

3. Your site visitor visits the advertiser's site and purchases goods or services.


HOW THIS BUSINESS WORKS...
If you currently have a website - find advertisers that have relative products or services and place their ads on your site. If you do not have a site you can start with a simple personal Blog in an area of interest or expertise that you may have.

For example, maybe your or a family member or a friend overcame a weight problem or a financial or legal issue or a medical condition or you've learned how to manage a growing family...and let's say over the years you have learned more about the problem or the issue than most people will ever know or that they would like to know. Because of your experience and expertise, you have a first-hand sensitivity about the issue or problem. You can create a Web site designed to help others dealing with the same issue or problems.

The important thing to remember here is that in order to make your site a viable affiliate marketing portal, you must have visitors....the more visitors the better; people have to know where you are. You could have the best Lemonade Stand in the world with the Best Lemonade in the world, but if no one knows where you are --- how many cups of Lemonade do you think you'll sell?


There are Two Essential Ways to Maximize the number of Target Focused Visitors to your Site:

1. Have a relevant, informative, useful site with lots of really good information for people interested in your topic.... and "Keep it Fresh".

2. Optimize Your Position in the Big Search Engines.
This means, whenever someone goes to Goggle.com or Yahoo.com, or Alta Vista.com or Ask.com, or any other major search engine and enters your topic area as a search term, your site comes up on the first page of results from that search. Which generally means you have to be in the top ten sites resulting from that search.
