Affiliate Marketing – How to Start Earning Money Today

If you're new to Affiliate Marketing and your finding everything that your

learning is a little "mind blowing" but really want to start making

money today then here is the quickest way to get results.



First, I would begin with using ClickBank. They have a gazillion

affiliate programs to choose from. If you don't already have a

ClickBank account then you can get one for free at clickbank.com/overview.html



We aren't going to bother making a website or anything like that; I'm going

to show you the quickest short-cut to earning the money

today.



Now once you've signed up with ClickBank we're going to go to the button

"Promote Products"



Finding your first product to affiliate with I would suggest you go

for a topic that you know something about. This will make writing your Google

Ad much easier.



Search for a subject that you know a little bit about. I would also recommend

choosing a product where you will make at least $20 for the sale.



Of course first, I want to be sure that there is a market for this product, I

want to check to see if people are searching for it. So I'm going to head

over to overture
inv

entory.overture.com/d/searchinventory/suggestion/
And place in the

keyword of the product I think I would like to promote.



If the keyword is being searched over on Overture a decent amount then I know

there is a market for this product.



Now I'm going to see if the salescopy (website) is up to scratch.



Does the header draw you in and make you want to read more? Yes



Does it have believable testimonials? Yes



Is the offer genuine and believable? Yes



Does it have visuals of the product? Yes (not a requirement for myself)



Does it have Free Bonus's? Yes (also not a requirement for me to promote it

but definitely adds value)



Are they offering a money back guarantee? Yes



I would definitely promote this website. So now I need to set up a Google

Adwords campaign.



This is now going to be the hardest work of it all. As you can see everything

else we've done so far is a breeze.



If you're not sure on how to set up a Google campaign I show illustrations on

how to do this in my book "Affiliate Marketing Quick Start Guide".

If you don't already have this book you can get it for free by signing

up to my newsletter at www.joesy.com



Because this is a digital download (they all are through ClickBank, ClickBank

only deals in digital products) and if the subject refers to people worldwide

I would promote this globally in my Google Adwords campaign.



Now you need to write your ad that will bring people to want to click on it.

Say if I was promoting a product that shows people how to play the guitar… I

would test a heading like: Learn to Play Guitar (in this subject line I've

used the main keyword they've probably searched for "guitar" and I've

suggested what this site will teach you "Learn to Play".



Next is setting up your keywords. I use either inv

entory.overture.com/d/searchinventory/suggestion/
or wordtracker to help

me find keywords for this product.



You will want to come up with around 200 to 300 keywords. I generally try to

find keywords with little competition, this way I pay less per click.



You ad should be activated in around 10 minutes. You can check this by typing

one of your keywords into Google and look for your ad.
