How To Make Money As An Affiliate Online

Affiliate marketing is a great way to make cash online without having to go through the pain of creating your own product or stocking and distributing it.

There are thousands of products with affiliate programs to promote online, the secret is choosing the right ones to promote.

Most people go for the same popular Clickbank products and struggle to make sales due to the competition.  To make sales with most of the clickbank products you need to dominate the search engines for very competitive “buyer” keywords, which is not easy to do.Pulling in niche traffic is simple enough, but the key is to pull in traffic from "buyer" keywords so that the traffic you get is ready to spend their cash!

One of the best ways to boost your clickbank conversions is to concentrate on building a list and then trying to sell the affiliate product via a series of autoresponder messages. Another good tip is to stay away from the Internet Marketing and Weight loss niches and look for more targeted products and niches.

In the less glamorous niches, you’ll find sites are less well optimised and therefore its easier to rank for buying words, for example take a look at this site of mine promoting hip hop software, its a very targeted niche product and as a result converts well.

Another way to make affiliate sales is to build review sites and review non Clickbank products.  Products and services in the gambling niche convert well for example, because the person finding your site is looking for gambling sites to play on, so they will want to look at your top rated sites.  Here is another of my sites as an example, Free Cash Bingo.

One final example of one of my sites, is a non clickbank affiliate site in a very targeted but unfashionable niche, Compost Tumblers, again it converts well because the visitor finds reviews of exactly what they are looking to spend money on.

Matching buying keywords to affiliate products and then ranking for those keywords is the key to making money online, you don’t need a lot of traffic if your conversion rates are high, you just need multiple sites to dominate a niche.  Watch the video at the top of this post to see how to achieve top search engine rankings for your chosen keywords.
