[M87]Make Money As Affiliate

by John Hartley, Joh

Forums are odd things, really, limited by the way the Internet works. Some are called bulletin boars, and this is really what they are. If you have something to say you post it on a bulletin board. Them someone else can add a comment or ask and question and so on.

The better forums are moderated, which means that someone looks at all the comments posted and make sure they are on-topic and not blatantly selling something, or being offensive.

Affiliate forums different from other forums

These moderated affiliate forums are quite different from the forums that some of the gurus put on their sites related to one or two products. These are basically a waste of time because you get people moaning about the product, you get people going way off-topic, and also blatant attempts to sell some other stuff. Don't bother with them. If you want help go straight to the help desk. In fact, if you find you have bought something, and all they offer is a forum for support, I would get a refund and go somewhere else - there really is no 'must-have' product for internet marketing and affiliate marketing.

Forums for Affiliates

So back to affiliate forums. One of the best ones is at www.associateprograms.com. This is run by Allan Gardyne, who has been helping people find good affiliate products since the last century! Yes, he has been around a long time, and you get a lot of interesting information there. I recommend you sign up, and have a look around.

As with all forums of this type, make sure you read the rules first, and abide by them, and also just read posts and look around until you have got the feel for the way they do things.

You will find that there are actually several main categories, and within each category a lot of different topics you can read about and post to. Once you see how things work, you can start commenting, and getting involved in any discussions that interest you.

You can't advertise, but use a signature

Another good forum is at forums.digitalpoint.com. Here, too you will find plenty of topics of interest to affiliates although this one has a broad range of topics, including a lot of stuff about internet marketing, not related to affiliates. You will get a lot of good advice here too.

You can't advertise in these forums, but you are allowed to have a signature attached to each of your posts. This needs to be a link to your website, not straight to an affiliate link.

There are many companies or individuals who are promoting their products online. So they offer an affiliate program for website owners. So, if you want to promote their products, you can sign up their affiliate programs completely free. Then you will get a unique affiliate code which include your affiliate ID. You paste the code on your website. When the code get a result from your website, the company or individual who are promoting this product will pay you some money. Usually, you are paid every month when you reach $50 or more. It is really depending on the program.

Generally, there are four type of affiliate programs for you. CPM, CPC, CPL and CPS.

CPM means Cost Per Impression. When you paste the code on your site, the banner are displaying when visitors open your site. Then you will be paid. The money depends on how many unique visitors per 24 hour do you have. You will get $3 or more per 1000 impressions. The price depends on the affiliate program and the traffic where come from.

CPC means Cost Per Click. When a visitor click the advertisement after you paste the code on your website, the affiliate program will pay you. The price of one click depends on the affiliate and where the visitor come from too. Yahoo have launched their Pay per Click in 2005. The price is very good for webmasters. But it is only allowing publishers from US now. Usually, Some programs just as Yahoo and Google, are called PPC programs too.

CPL means Cost Per Lead. For example, someone is running a dating site. He want to get more members and set up an affiliate program. When a member is referred by your affiliate ID, he will pay you some money. So the money you you earn depends on how many leads do you promote from your site. There are many good CPL affiliate programs pay you on time, such as HydraMedia, LinkConnector and so on.

CPS means Cost Per Sale. Just like CPL, when a people sign up for a membership and buy something under your affiliate ID, the advertiser will pay you 10% more or less or an exact amount of money. It will run very good when your websites' content is matching the advertiser's products. For example, if your website is about cell phones, the advertisers who are selling cell phones or doing cell phone services are very good for you.

There are some small skills when selecting which affiliate programs do you want to promote. If your site have many impressions every day, you should select CPM. If your site are professional content based, CPL will be very good for you.

OK. Just find some affiliate programs and select one or more to promote them. Then get paid from them next month.
