Affiliate Programs: The Simple Way to Start an Online Business
Starting an online business it is a very daunting prospect. Some
of the things to be considered are; what can you offer to your
potential customers? With your own online business, the first
thing you must have is a product or service to sell.
Do you have a product that you can buy or produce yourself to
sell, or are you going to enter a 'franchise'? Because selling
physical products online means you are faced with making the
products yourself, finding a franchise opportunity and
researching wholesalers, to find a product range that you are
comfortable with. Ideally you would have a working knowledge and
experience of the product or service. You then need to be able
to fulfil orders, package them, deal with customer enquiries,
arrange and pay for shipping costs and the list goes on.
If you provide a service, then you may well have to start by
offering to undertake jobs for no charge in order to get an
opportunity to prove your abilities to your potential customers.
This is one way of establishing credibility, and then when you
are charging for your service, you are still limited by how much
work you can actually handle due to time constraints.
Of course there are other options like drop shipping with all
the problems that may involve.
Whichever route you choose to take, it is important to present
your business in a form that shows clearly what product or
service is being offered.
This involves not just building a web site, which is in itself a
learning curve, there is also the need to be able to write
compelling ad copy, an effective marketing plan, sorting out
payment processors and cash flow, all of these things are best
planned in advance for smooth implementation, for when you are
setting things up for trading.
All the above systems do all have the ability to provide you
with a very nice income from home, but if you want to get
started on making an income from home quickly and easily, then
affiliate programs are the ideal starting point, read on to
discover why.
AFFILATE PROGRAMS EXPLAINED
At this point you may well be wondering what exactly ARE
affiliate programs?
Essentially, an affiliate program allows you to sell another
company's service or product and you would earn a commission on
every sale or lead. The company for whom you are an affiliate
will provide you with an affiliate link, which is a special URL
code that will identify you as the source of the customer's
introduction to the company, so you can see for yourself that
your marketing plan is sound and producing results. This means
that the only skill you need to master initially is that of
marketing, you do not even need to build a website or handle the
transaction.
Affiliate programs often have tiers, which means that if someone
who
signs up to the affiliate program through your link is
placed in your "downline" and you will then earn a percentage of
any sales they make too.
HOW DO I CHOOSE AN AFFILIATE PROGRAM?
The first step in deciding on an affiliate program to promote is
to research the popularity of some of your interests. You are
more likely to make a success of promoting a product or
something you are interested in, than something you know little
or nothing about.
There are many sources to determine if people are searching for
products and services in a particular field, including free ones
such as the Overture keyword tool;
(http://inventory.overture.com/d/searchinventory/suggestion )
and paid ones such as the word tracker service
(http://www.wordtracker.com/ ).
Once you have decided on a product or service, for which there
seems to be a demand and is in your scope of interest, you will
need to find affiliate programs in your chosen field. This can
be achieved easily by typing your chosen subject along with
'affiliate program,' into your favourite search engine and sift
through the results until you find an affiliate program you like
the look of. Alternatively you can search through affiliate
directories such as http://www.associateprograms.com and
http://www.affiliatesdirectory.com/.
Once you have found a program that interests you, ensure you
read the terms of the program; take particular care to check the
level of minimum payout, and when payouts occur. If payouts do
not occur until you reach a high level of commission you may
well never see your money.
It is a good idea to go with programs that have high commission
percentage rates, as in effect you have fewer products to sell
to achieve the income you desire. It is often the case that
digital products; (books and software) have the highest
commission rates, due to the lower costs. A good starting place
for finding affiliate programs is clickbank
(http://clickbank.com/ ). However these tend to be lower priced
than physical goods so pick your chosen affiliate program with
care! Affiliate programs will provide you with a variety of
marketing tools such as banners, classified ads, email ads and
so on. They may well also have training on how to market. Then
all you have to do is set off promoting your new affiliate
program everywhere you can.
Once you have mastered this skill and see the income come in,
you will be in a much better position to start selling your own
product. Good luck!
