I am a work at home woman who managed to pay down my credit card debt from $20,321 to $12,916 in one and a half year. To speed up paying off my debt, I started trying out affiliate marketing in the hope of making more money online.
Prior to affiliate marketing, I was one of the many bloggers who was busy bidding or grabbing paid reviews to write to make fast money. The easy money generated from paid posts did help in reducing my debt. To most busy moms, getting paid to blog about products or services is perhaps the easiest way to earn money online. Many stay-at-home, single or work-at-home mothers are able to earn a decent income by blogging for many blog advertising companies.
But after more than half year, I decided not to rely on paid blog posts. Depending solely on paid posts is like putting all my eggs in one basket and you know this is not the best way to make money online.
Not being able to write any paid reviews when I am sick lying on my bed for a few days really scares me. Imagine there is no money flowing into my bank account the moment I stop writing!
My initial efforts on affiliate programs didn't earn as much money as I am earning now, but I was very quickly seeing some sales coming in and commissions sitting in my account. Seeing some sales and commissions does give me encouragement and motivation to keep going with affiliate marketing.
I do not even need to stock my own goods or merchandise - I simply sell other people's products, goods or services and in return, receive commissions by doing so. The best part about affiliate marketing is that, once I get my business going, it really can continue to operate on "auto-pilot," producing passive income for me even when I am not actively working on maintaining and growing my affiliate business income.
The most popular way I love to drive traffic to my affiliate business is through Search Engine Optimization (SEO). It still is the most effective way to get traffic directly from the free search engine listings to my business websites.
People who go to a search engine such as Google and search for something in particular are already predisposed to purchase the product. Being able to rank highly for keywords in a particular niche helps in getting highly qualified people to my websites without even spending any money.
Earning extra money with affiliate programs is not as difficult as you think. But you must be prepared to work on finding niches, setting up websites, learning SEO, promoting and marketing affiliate products.
