Creative Business Online

Are you just getting started in affiliate marketing and internet marketing? If so, it can seem overwhelming on where to start.

At the Warrior Forum and in ebooks and special reports that I read, one thing that I’ve noticed is that everyone who’s ever made money at this has come up with some sort of method, or routine, that they follow. And I’ve seen A LOT of these “little routines”.

The nice thing about them, is that you can set it up using free websites. I’ll come up with one right now that’s simple and that you can use.

1. Choose a product. Go to clickbank.com or commissionjunction.com and sign up. Choose a product that looks like something you’d enjoy promoting.
2. Research keywords. I use either http://freekeywords.wordtracker.com or google’s keyword tool. Or, I just come up with keywords that make sense and search for them in google to see if things actually come up.
3. Make a lens. If you haven’t signed up for Squidoo yet, do so right now. This is my favorite tool and it’s free… Before my favorite affiliate program ceased to exist, I was making at least $60 each month from that one alone.
4. Article marketing. Now, choose five-ten keywords are write 5-10 articles of around 400 words in the same niche subject as your lens. Submit them to ezinearticles.com and put the lens URL for the product to get traffic to your lens.
5. Submit articles. Rewrite the articles slightly or just resubmit them to Associated Content as “non-exclusive” to potentially get paid even more for having written them. Do the same with Constant Content, making sure that you don’t select that unique rights are available (they aren’t).
6. Rinse and repeat. Repeat this each time you find a cool program to promote.

Let me know if you try this! Think about all the things you can do to promote affiliate programs. Come up with a simple method of your own, or just use this one. Tell me how you did!
