You can be an affiliate marketer who simply promotes whatever you want to promote. Maybe people do that and it works fine for them. But you’ll have a great chance of success if you choose a theme for your affiliate marketing.

You can start cashing in Affiliate Marketing with these step :

1. Affiliate Theme

Affiliate theme could be one of several different types:
• You could target a specific market, such as people new to Internet marketing
• You could target a category of products, such as software related to website management
• You could target a business process, such as information product creation

Having a theme lets you speak with a consistent voice to your affiliate marketing mailing list. You’ll develop a reputation for being an expert in your particular area, which will give you more credibility when you recommend a product.

If you develop a theme in that area, you can end up being “the Adwords expert” as far as your list is concerned. You’ll essentially develop a specialty as an affiliate marketer. That will make it much more likely that they’ll buy a product when you recommend it.

2. Create Website And Autoresponder

You learned about setting up a mini-site in last posting. That’s really all you need for affiliate marketing. In fact, when you first start you’ll probably need the simplest mini-site around—a site with a single page.

3. Choose Products You’ll Promote

You don’t have to choose every single product you’ll promote forever. It would be foolish to try to do that. There will be great products coming out later that you can’t know about in advance. But you have to start somewhere.

I suggest that you choose 5-10 products to promote initially. That will get you started. As new products come out, or as you discover which products sell better than others, you can expand and/or refine your product selection.

But where should you start your product search? I’ll probably start sounding like a broken record on this, but I recommend starting with www.ClickBank.com. Their Marketplace now has over 30,000 digital products, which makes it one of the largest selections of affiliate products online. Their website says they have 10,000 products, but I think that number is outdated—either way, it’s a big selection!

Even better, promoting a ClickBank product costs you nothing. You just find the product you want to promote, get the affiliate link for it (ClickBank calls it a hoplink) and start promoting. ClickBank handles paying your commissions, and you’ll get a check every two weeks. You can check your sales and stats in your account online.

You can search the ClickBank Marketplace to find related products you could promote. You might fill out the search form like this:

I looked in the Marketing & Ads category, and searched using the keyword adwords. That gave me some solid results, which I sorted by High Gravity, so I can see which products are most popular with other affiliate marketers. Here’s a partial sample of the results:

Those are all solid products that have sold quite well. So how do you pick which ones you’ll promote? That’s where you need to dig into the view pitch page links and look at their sales copy. Take that third product as an example.

4. Write Your Review Pages

Especially in the Internet Marketing market, most people assume that the only way to write a good review is to use the product and get rich with it, or to lie through your teeth. Not so. You can write an honest review and helps a prospect make a purchase decision, even if you have no direct experience with the product. Here’s how you might do it for the product we’ve been talking about.

Start with some information about the product, like this:
From: [your name]
Date: [the date]

Dear Frustrated (Or Scared) Adwords User,

You know there’s money to be made with Adwords, but you also know there’s some big risk. It’s pretty easy to lose your shirt if you don’t know what you’re doing. But that’s the problem isn’t it? Knowing what your doing usually takes years of trial and error learning…with lots of emphasis on the “error” part.

I’ve been there myself. It stunk. It also cost me a lot of money. That’s why you need Google Snatch, and it’s most definitely NOT a scam. I’ll give you a link to the sales page in a second, but here are the high points you need to pay special attention to:

• [key points about the product]

5. Get Your Website Traffic And Build Your List

Getting traffic could be an entire book. It’s a huge topic. I won’t give you every strategy you could use, but I will give you three that I’ve used myself, and that I know work very well without costing you a dime.

Next time, I’ll be posting especially about getting free traffic.
