Automate Your Affiliate Marketing

By: John P Haskel

One of the main reasons people get into Internet marketing or affiliate marketing is because they believe they can make good money and put in less time than they do at their regular job. However, most people find that they put in more time and make less money than they did at their regular job.

Is it really possible that you can get more free time through Internet Marketing? All the big names tell us it is possible, but how can it happen?

The one thing that you must have is a search engine optimize to web page. This should be on your own domain name and website. If you do not know how to optimize your web page, you can always higher a search engine optimization company to help you with this portion of your business.

It is entirely possible to earn money whilst doing nothing with Internet marketing. Firstly, if you have automated your website and it is ranking high in the directories then it will run on auto-pilot.

If however, your website has not yet reached top search engine ranking, you will need to start building back links to your site in order to boost your link popularity and in turn increase your search engine ranking.

One of the best methods I know of is to set up an affiliate program. This allows other people to promote your product and be paid a commission for each sale. If they don't make any sales, they don't get any commission. Obviously, you need to pay them enough commission to make it worth their while. A few dollars as the commission level is not going to motivate anyone for anything, so you may need to offer 40%, 50% of even higher depending on your business and product strategy.

By offering your affiliates a 50/50 split they will be more enthusiastic about promoting your products or services. One thing you should not do is raise the price of your product in order to cover the costs of paying your affiliates. By keeping the price where it is and by recruiting affiliates you'll make more money in the long run with quantity.

Now, when it comes to running your own affiliate program, there are many different options on how to get started. You could either search online for a software program that keeps track of affiliate sales and run this software from your own server. Or for most people the best bet is to join the company called clickbank. This company takes care of paying your affiliates, paying you your profits, and can even help you find affiliates for your program.

In fact, for many marketers, Clickbank is a real favorite because it truly allows you to automate your business! They handle everything for you – taking payment, paying the affiliate and paying you, allowing you to really put your business on auto-pilot and achieve the elusive dream of making money whilst you sleep.
