Blog your way to success!!!

In my previous post, I was talking about a successful way to riches. Some might have thought that building a website specifically for the purpose of affiliate marketing is not worthy. Isn't it?

Even i believe the same. I do not have a website of my own and most of the time i use resources that are available free of cost. Right now, I am using Blogger to promote and educate everybody regarding the resources that are available over the internet and how you can generate a good stream of income by utilizing these resources.

It's really easy to create a blog of your own. You only need to know how to work your way through the templates that are available. There is no need for you to be tech savvy for creating a blog.

Now, once a blog is created, the most important thing will be the content of the Blog. You need to know what your blog will be focusing on and who your target audience will be. Once you know this, you will be able to work your way out. You need to make your blog appealing to the target audience so that you can have a good list of followers and once that happens you can venture into the world of affiliate marketing.

If you are thinking that i am talking you all through impossible things, then let me remind you that It is not that difficult. You need to devote at least an hour on a daily basis and let me tell you that success will certainly follow.

Nothing in this world comes for FREE. It definitely takes patience, smart work, optimism and chanelling your resources in the right direction. Once you are committed to these things, SUCCESS will certainly knock on your doors.

Affiliate Marketing

Hello Everybody,

Have you tried ways and means to make money online before? I believe you must have and in case you haven't before then you have landed to the right place.

My name is Shaji and I have been trying to find out ways and means to earn money working from home for quiet some time now and from whatever experience I have gathered, I will suggest that affiliate marketing is one of the best ways to make money online.

There are a lot of programs asking you to invest in their business and promise you huge returns. Most of them, I say 95% of them are fake and if you try to invest money with them, most probably you will loose money. So, I suggest be wise and don't invest in any get rich quick scheme.

Let me talk about what affiliate marketing is all about:


If you have been trying to find a way to make money online for a while, you probably have heard of affiliate programs once or twice. Affiliate programs also known as "associate programs" or "publisher programs" are a big part of any online business. Most successful online retailers owe a part of their huge success to their affiliate programs and affiliate marketers registered under those programs. You can also use affiliate programs to make money online. To do that, you have to understand it. Here is a simple explanation of how affiliate programs work:



You decide to build a website for your own business, or to promote different products and services. You find products and services you want to promote, and sign up with their affiliate programs. You will be given a special link or banner that you can place on your website. Then you start to promote your website in order to drive traffic to it. Visitors start coming to your site. A visitors who has been looking for more information about the product you are promoting, decides to click on that link or banner and buys the product. He clicks through to the product manufacturer's website and makes a purchase. That purchase will earn you a commission.



That's the whole idea behind affiliate programs. It helps retailers and manufactures increase theirs sales, and it allows you as an affiliate to make money every time someone purchase something using links or banner on your website.



Today, almost all online retailers and companies have affiliate programs. Affiliate programs cater to all kind of businesses. As an affiliate marketer, you may earn as much as over $1 million per year or as less as $2 a month. The amount of money you make is directly linked to your hard work and efforts in promoting your website and driving targeted traffic to it. Obviously, the more you promote your website, the more visitors will come to your website. And more visitors means more buyers, which ultimately means more money for you.



In a nutshell, affiliate marketers are the middle man of online business. As an affiliate marketer you direct potential costumers to the merchants website in exchange for a commission. And that is a great way for making money online.


I would like to suggest one such affiliate program which has been in business for the past 12 years and is certified by BBB online. This program is completely free to join and you can work your way up the ladder by devoting sometime on the business everyday. This is not a get rich quick scheme and you need to devote your time each day in order to build a long lasting income.
