How to promote affiliate products?

11 Sep 06 11:22 pm

Hi Kelly,

sean06 is right. My suggestion is to watch ALL the videos for the 90 day roadmap AND the 6 part mini course. Watch all those videos first. Once you have an idea of the topic of your site, search https://www.affilorama.com/search/ which is Affiloramas affiliate directory. This will assist you in locating affiliates for your site.

I hope this helps, and as sean06 said, if you have any more questions or need help just post in the forum.

I Think I understand what Pete is saying here.
Although I could be misinterpreting it.
What I think He means is it is geared towards setting up your own site,getting it out there, creating blogs etc...etc...
How do you make money from this, selling other peoples products...other than recomendation emails or adsense?
Say for instance my site is a "PIE"site how can I sell someone elses product? say Affilorama? or something from clickbank?
would it not have to sell or be selling PIE related products to make money?
What if I wanted to sell 10 different products/affilliate products?

At this stage I would like to just promote affiliate products to get a bit of spending money.
is there anything in here or out there that will teach me how to go about this and without going bankrupt promoting it all and not selling anything.

Thanks in advance

Funny, I understand completely what the poster means. Personally, I am MORE intrested in doing landing pages promoting ebooks (clickbank) and such to generate an income (before I start to build multipage websites). After wacthing the videos I was under the impression that it's a little geared towards making your own full fleged site. Which is awesome, but I KNOW for a fact that I can make good starting money promoting other products through clickbank.

There are sooo many routes to take on the affiliate path, there isn't just one best way. Some people perfer the landing page, simple- if promoting good product you'll make enough money approach, others perfer the build visitors, a fan base, a following aproach.

I think that it all depends on how expereinced you are, how much time you want to spend, and if you want to make solid websites to promote other products with a few clickbank products sprinkled in.

As i said, I am more attracted to the clickbank-adwords approach, not just because of the money, but also because I want to gain solid knowlege with making, hosting and operating landing page websites first. Of course, when you feel you have enough experience doing this, it would be wise to swicth to the website business approach. Less pages you have to keep track with.

my 2 cents :)

I tryed adwords etc for 3 or 4 months and actually lost money. I built landin pages, tryed sending direct to the (affilliate) site and actually lost money. so I turned it all off. One program did make me money and that was from just adwords to the site. But has since died off.
I even lost money advertising Affilorama. Dont think I even made 1 sale.

So you really have to pick the right products.

I also know 3 others that have lost money this way and 2 have since given up internet marketing altogether.

After watching Marks interview with MArie Forleo, one thing that was said which I have alwasy said about myself is that I need a partner to do some venture with.
And to get a Life Coach like Marie, Well I will need a business to make some money to pay her..
But a lot of what she said hit home with me..

Why can't this forum be full of partners for you? We're all here trying to do the same thing :)

I was just thinking about having someone who you can chat to about whatever is going on in your business, not necessarily creating a business with them, but whatever works for you.

Wealthy: If you're looking for a business partner, it might be an idea to post your proposal in the Business Opportunities section. But I think it would be easier to try to get things going yourself at the start, and then once you know where you're heading, try to find people who are heading in the same direction to encourage each other. When you're just learning, it can be a little paralyzing having to agree on every little thing with someone else, who might also be learning.

Like the others have said: there are lots of people here in the forum in exactly the same position. You've already got a support network! Make it work for you.
