How To Develop A Money Making Affiliate Business

Millions of online entrepreneurs use affiliate programs as part of their business plan. Unfortunately, only about 20% of them make any money at all. Successful affiliate marketing isn't always easy to achieve. In fact, it's not easy at all. But, if you follow a few basic rules you can increase you chances of achieving success with affiliate products. Here are a few tips to make money as a successful affiliate marketer:

Product Research
Successful affiliate marketing starts out with good research. Determine which affiliate products are most relevant to your niche. Only consider products that are closely related to the content on your site.

Sales Research
Look for products that are selling well. Some affiliate products generate less than 10 total sales per month. If you are recommending one of those products, you will find it very difficult to make money. Determine which products are the most popular and promote those items.

Sales Page Research
Visit the sales page of products that you are considering. Is it compelling? Does it intrigue you to buy it? Are there convincing testimonials? View the sales page with a critical eye and determine if you would be convinced to buy the product based on the sales page.

Keep Good Records And Be Persistent
Stay with a product long enough to allow it to make money for you. Most products sold online convert about 1% of the visitors into buyers. This means that out of 100 people that you send to a merchant’s sales page, you will only generate one sale. Keep track of how many people you are referring to each item you are promoting. Don’t quit on a product because you haven’t made any sales after sending just 20 people to the website. I once sent 320 people to what I thought was a great affiliate product and made no sales at all. Although disappointed, I stayed with the product. Over the next week, I made 4 sales of that one product. I’m very glad I was persistent and stayed with that item.
