But do you want to spend a lot of money chasing rainbows? Many companies offering work from home positions or jobs online do so at a price.
ClickBank have thousands of different products for sale through their website and if you register with them as an affiliate, you will be allowed to promote some of these products on your blog or on your own website and ClickBank will pay you a commission for every product sold in this way by you.
How to get started with ClickBank products? You will need to give ClickBank your name and contact details in order to register with them and once you have that in place, you can begin to search the ClickBank marketplace for products which you would be happy to promote.
If you have some knowledge or expertise in a particular area, then that is probably where you should begin to create your "niche" products.
What else should you look for in your affiliate marketing products? When researching your products you should check each product for the commission that is paid and select a product with "futures" which means that you will receive an ongoing commission on the product when it is renewed either on a monthly or annual basis.
When you have your products selected Once you have your products selected ClickBank will provide you with a "hoplink" which is the link between you and the product you are promoting..
..
you will insert this "hoplink" into your website where you are promoting the product and any ensuing sale can then be tracked back to yourself.
Before you set up your website products, check out the affiliate page of these products and you will find that the vendor often has a promotion already in place and many resources which an affiliate has free access to.
This will allow you to maximise your impact and also minimise cost and effort.
All that is needed is that your promotion leads the purchaser to the website of the affiliate product and the vendor completes the sales pitch.
Why affiliate marketing is so attractive Having studied so much on-line home business information, the prospect of setting up an affiliate marketing business seemed to be the most attractive option.
Once it was set up, which took a while, it proves to be a relatively cost - free business.
The beauty of affiliate marketing is that you make all of the choices yourself..
..
you really DO get to be your own boss and to work at your own pace and earn money from the comfort of your own home.
