Can I Make Money Online – Affiliate Marketing

Can I make money online? I get this question a lot! If you’re like most people, You’ve thought about starting an online business? Maybe to earn a little extra

money on the side, or even grow the  business so that it provides a full time income.  Ever thought about retiring early? Buying a vacation home and spending

more time with friends and family? Let me tell you right now that it is possible to gain financial freedom through affiliate marketing. The only thing standing

in the way is yourself.

 -Can I Make Money  Online-

What about the The Traditional Route?

How To Make Money in Online Marketing Workers

For years, there were only a few of ways to retire early and spend your most productive years living the life you

really wanted. You could get a job with benefits, a 401K or other retirement plan, contribute the maximum

allowed into those accounts. And if you had a good fund manager, stayed in the same job for 20 years or so,

didn’t have kids and lived frugally, by the time you were 40-45 you could have amassed enough savings to live a

frugally for the rest of your life.

The problem with this scenario is that it requires living a lifestyle that most people find exhausting, even boring. Taking small, short inexpensive vacations

(when you can) may not replenish your batteries enough that it does any good. Let alone that most people want kids, and ask any parent! Kids are expensive!

You may have a hard time socking away the amount of money you’ll need when the kids need new shoes every 6 month, braces for 2 years, school supplies

and new clothes every year. And son’t forget soccer practice, little league and trips to the emergency room at 3 am.

How To Make Money in Online Marketing higher-education

Second traditional

The second traditional way is to start off with higher education, and the more advanced the degree the better.

This allows you to start at the company at a higher level with better pay. The plan here is to keep moving up

the corporate latter so that you are not only contributing to the companies retirement plan, but you may even

make enough money to hire a financial adviser or stock broker to help you invest a portion of your salary.

One of the problems with this scenario is that you have acquired a lot of debt getting a master’s degree or P.H.D. that

qualified you for the job. Trust me, Uncle Sam guarantees those loans and he wants them paid back! So you can count

on spending the first 20 years or so paying back all your student loans on top of your living expenses. You will probably

be making enough money that you can still buy a nice house, take nice vacations, and afford kids. The problem being, your not able to save as much as you’ll

need to until you get those loans paid off. That should happen in your late 30s or so. You will spend your 40s making really good money, however if you are

like most people, you will find it hard to live at or below your means. You have worked for 20 years or so and are finally making good money, why not take that

European vacation

2 week European vacation,buy that Mercedes, splurge a little, you deserve it. next thing you know, you are in your 50s and have reached the height of your

career, making more money than ever before, and you’ve finally gotten around to saving a good portion of it. But because you got a late start, you realize that

you’ll have to be working at least into your 60s to save enough to retire and live the lifestyle you envision.

How To Make Money in Online Marketing Big-Money

Third scenario

The third scenario is the best one. You have a rich Uncle, Aunt, Grandparent, Father, and when they pass you are left with a large fortune. The

only problem  with this scenario is that most people will turn that large fortune into a small fortune over time. If you ever find yourself in that

position, give me a call, and I  can help you out :-). Now, here’s the good news, with the advent of the internet, almost anyone can start their

own business with very little money and have  virtually unlimited earning potential!

 I Make Money  Online-

Affiliate Marketing

How To Make Money in Online Marketing make-money-online

First let me say that there are many ways to make money online. Affiliate  marketing is just one of them,

but I have focused on this particular segment because I believe it to be the best avenue for the average

person to find success online. no formal education is required, you don’t even need a high

school diploma to become a successful affiliate marketer, all you need is the proper training and a minimal

amount of skill using a computer. Secondly, the amount of money required to get started is minimal, in fact

one of the best training sites available offers a free membership and teaches you everything  you need to start making money on your very own website.

Thirdly, you can start your business as a part-time endeavor, DON’T QUIT YOUR DAY JOB (just yet anyway)! Work on it in your free  time, just remember,

the more time and energy you put into it the faster it will grow, and like ALL new businesses, don’t expect to make a killing overnight. It will start slowly, and

with continued effort on your part that first $25 sale in your second month will turn into $60 next month $150 the next month, and so on and so on.  As long as

you keep working at it, your income potential is virtually limitless.

-How Can I Make Money Online-

The Nitty Gritty

Okay, enough with the background stuff, what you really want to know is can I make money online, and exactly how to do it. In this article, I have  focused almost

exclusively on affiliate marketing. Why affiliate marketing? Well in my opinion, affiliate marketing is the best option for the average person who wants to start

a successful online business. There is very little money needed to get started, excellent training available, no need to stock, ship of carry inventory. All you need

is a computer with an internet connection. In contrast, imagine you own a store that sells televisions. First you would have to find a space to lease, come up with

first and last months rent as well as a security deposit. Pay a contractor to build out the space, get utilities hooked up (more security deposits), hire and train

employees, all before you can sell a single television set. Now imagine you started an affiliate marketing website selling television sets. You can build your own

website for free (here) become an affiliate for free, and start promoting television sets at home, in your spare time. When someone buys a television from your

website, the order goes directly to your affiliate, who bills, ships and handles customer service while sending you a commission for the sale. Not sure about you,

but I prefer the second method.

How To Make Money in Online Marketing Affiliate-Marketing

Affiliate marketing lets virtually anyone sell virtually anything without the hassle and expense of a traditional “brick and mortar” store. Now, I do want to be

clear, affiliate marketing is not just a matter of putting products on a website and waiting for sales. There are a lot of sites out there selling the same things

you are. You need to set your website apart from the rest. This is where the proper training comes in. need to know how to both build and market your

website to generate traffic. Don’t try to do it alone! There is a great platform out there that will teach you everything you’ll need to be successful. It’s called

Wealthy Affiliate and you can join for free. They will give you their first ten affiliate marketing courses free as well as two free websites. If after trying it out,

you decide to get serious about affiliate marketing, I would suggest that you join as a paid member, but only if you want to make serious money with affiliate

marketing (paid membership is $49 mo, no contracts, cancel anytime).

-Can I Make Money  Online-

Affiliate Marketing

While affiliate marketing isn’t the only way to make money online, it does have a number of benefits that the others don’t.

  • Very low start-up costs
  • No inventory to carry
  • No shipping expenses
  • No payroll or staff required
  • Billing is taken care of
  • You don’t have to deal with returns or customer service

Conclusion

The answer is YES, you can stop asking yourself “Can I make money online?” And start telling yourself

“I can make money online!”

Affiliate marketing allows you to make commissions on almost anything, You can turn your hobby or interest into an income producing business just by blogging

about it. On top of that, there is no direct selling, no going door to door or making cold calls.  When a customer is ready to buy something they are literally

coming to you based on your knowledge and website. You’re only job is to provide the customer with acute and honest information so that they can make the

decision for themselves.  However, don’t think that you can just build a website and “They will come”. There is a lot involved in creating a successful affiliate

marketing business. There are a lot of “tricks of the trade” that will give you an advantage over your competition, but you have to have the right training to

implement them. So you can stop asking yourself  you can make money online, and start making your dreams reality. If you think you may have an  interest in

learning more about Affiliate Marketing, I have arranged for my readers to get a free membership (not a limited time trial, but a free ongoing membership).

    I have been interested in making money online for a long time, but always found the ads online so pushy and downright unbelievable. I don’t think there is any “get rich quick” scheme that has any value. What I would want is something that teaches what to do, consistently to grow a business, and teach you the in’s and out’s. Lead a horse to water.. that type of thing.
    The info in the article about being able to market many things seems intriguing. I may have to dive in and check this out for myself. Hopefully there is nothing “pushy” about this training?

      Jay,
      Absolutely check it out! they will give you a lot of information with the free account. I know of a few people who stay with the free account forever and make money on the side, but if you see the value in the free membership and want to get serious about making money it’s just $49 mo. no contracts, cancel anytime. And I can tell you from personal experience that there is never any pressure to purchase anything. Nothing is the right fit for everyone, but that’s why they offer a free membership, so at least check it out for yourself!
      Best of luck in whatever endeavor you decide on!

    Glad to see you promoting wealthy affiliate. I started using it a month ago and it’s the real deal. Hard work at first but it pays off if you put in the work.

    I think we’d all like to go with the third scenario LOL but for those us down to earth people the reality is the first or second scenario. Retiring ‘early’ can happen if you are able to sacrifice 20 years of your life without ever starting a family, owning your own home, traveling, or even buying that nice timepiece you’ve been eyeing.

    I have a lot of respect for college as i am a degree holder but the truth is like you mentioned is that the debt that comes with them is grand. You’ll easily spend 10+ years just paying that debt off. Then come living expenses….

    That’s not living.

    Life is meant to be lived and i mean more than just having a pulse. Life is meant to be filled with joy and excitement. We literally only have ONE life to live and i can’t say that any of the above scenarios works for me.

    That’s why i chose to start my own business. One with very little overhead. One that i can run from literally anywhere in the world so long as i have an internet connection.

    I love affiliate marketing because so long as to have the proper training the sky is the limit. The harder you work the more you are going to make. But, like you said don’t expect to get rich over night. This TAKES TIMES.

    The search engines need to trust you first because nowadays content is king. The ‘BIG’ three (google, yahoo, and bing) need to see that you consistently add content. They are all about the reader not the website owner.

    If you are serious about making money online and are tired (who isn’t) of being taken advantage of by these “sleep walk into your first $10K month” internet scams then its time to use the correct platform.

    That platform is Wealthy Affiliate. You can start today for FREE and if you never want to pay for the membership (i don’t recommend this because there is training only available to premium members) you can still get great training and learn to build a website and market it.

      Justin,
      I couldn’t agree more, I don’t believe there is a better program for the average person than Affiliate Marketing and WA. As you stated, it just takes a minimal investment, but a lot of work and it does take time! If we as a people can give up the notion of instant gratification and realize that putting in the time and effort needed to build a business is not only necessary, but once you’ve done it, you will enjoy the success that much more.
      Glad to see you’ve joined WA! Keep up the good work!

    Hi David,
    I definitely fit into more than one of your descriptions above. You hit the nail on the head. I’ve always been in the corporate sector, but honestly, just can’t do it anymore. If I’m going to work that hard, I want to do it for myself. I’m intrigued with the idea of affiliate marketing and being my own boss. I am ready to explore further. Thanks for laying it all out. Very helpful information and perspective!

      Jackie,
      Good for you! I am right there with you, I figured out a long time ago that if I was going to work for someone, I’d prefer it to be me! It’s certainly not for everyone, a lot of people need the structure of a 9-5 job and the security that comes with it. But for people like us there is nothing like starting, owning and growing your own business.
      Best of luck in your endeavors

    I was quite interested to read what you had to say David about affiliate marketing. I created a genealogy website over 12 months ago and am still to make enough money to quit my full time job.

    What I have learned from this is patience. It will take time but it will work. How long have you been doing this and how much have you made if you don’t mind me asking?

    The other thing that I have learned is to be honest with your site. Don’t try to sell. I did go overboard once with selling and my site’s rank suffered because of this. So please I urge everyone just to be honest and informative with your content.

      Owain,
      Thanks for the comment, you are exactly right, Affiliate Marketing takes some time to get started, (But really, any business does). The big advantage to Affiliate Marketing and Wealthy Affiliate in particular is the training and support you receive. I’m sure that there are people who can figure it all out on their own, but they are much smarter than me! The best advice I can give to a new affiliate marketer, is to follow the advice of others who have been successful, and don’t give up, know that you will not make any money for at least a couple of months.
      Best of luck to you
      -David-

    Hello David. I like how you are promoting WA, as you can benefit from doing that. Working from home has been my dream since 2012. I have came across very online scams that promised me a full time income with just a little effort, but at the end of the day, it was just a bunch of bs and a waste of time. I was about to give up on my dreams, until I came across WA. So far, WA has been wonderful! The training is great and I am currently finishing up the certification courses to become successful online. I highly recommend WA to anyone who desires to work from home. I still have a lot of work to do to achieve my dreams!

      Ahmad,
      Thanks for the comment, I know exactly where you’re coming from, there are a lot of scams out there, and even if they aren’t scams, they often over-hype how easy it is or how much money you’ll make. The truly nice thing about WA is option to have a free account, and this isn’t just a limited time trial period, people can maintain a free account indefinitely (Although we both know that anyone who’s serious will gladly pay the fee to become a premium member!) I’m glad you found WA and wish you success along your journey!

      Ariel, Thanks for the comment, we all know that there are a lot of scams on the internet, but there are also really good opportunities available too. I don’t think I know anyone who is successful who has never been scammed at one time or another, Learning from the experience and moving on is the difference between success and permanent failure.
      Best of luck to you and yours
