Trillions Will Be Made By People Doing Business Over The Internet - And It's Easier Than You Think To Get Your Share Of It

By: Richard DeNye - MoneyInsideYourPocket.com

Do you you want to make at least 1000 dollars extra for yourself in the next 3 to 4 weeks? If you do, you'll want to keep reading.

And, after you make that first 1000 dollars, if you keep at it you'll be seeing months where you will be making more money than you've made in any one previous year.

Lots of people are doing it. Believe me.

Somebody is buying all the new Mercedes, Lexuses, Porsches, Range Rovers and newly constructed luxury homes, Rolexes, 60" HD-Ready LCD TVs and all the other ultra-luxury goods and services being made and sold each year.

And the people buying them are not all rappers, pro athletes, Hollywood celebrities, Fortune 500 executives, Arab Sheiks, surgeons and lawyers.

Who else is making enough money to buy all that stuff? Yes. You guessed right. Anonymous people like you and me who bothered to take the time to learn how to make money online.

The plainest way I can say it is:

If you are not promoting something on the internet as an "affiliate marketer" or have a decent product of your own to sell online, you're missing out.

Now, if you are leading a great life, have all the money you need, love your boss, love your coworkers and your job fulfills the deepest parts of your heart and soul - then congratulations. You're in that enviable small percentage of people in the world who work for someone else and are perfectly happy with that.

But if you want to put yourself in a position where you can be your own boss, have control over how you spend your time, and make enough money to enjoy life the way you want to - making money from home (or wherever you have a computer with an internet connection) as an affiliate marketer is for you.

Now, if you've tried making money online already and you haven't had much success, it's only because you are probably making a few small mistakes that you don't even realize that you are making.

Either way, it's easy to turn the situation around and begin making money online. You just need to know what works and what doesn't. That's what separates the people who make money at affiliate marketing and those who don't.

And learning what to do is surprisingly easy. You just need to have someone show you.

How To Become A Successful "Super Affiliate"

38 million people put up their very first websites online in 2005 alone. In 2007, the internet sales industry has already topped the trillion dollar mark. And a majority of those websites will be offering different affiliate programs for people to choose from and participate in.

This is a great time for people who are willing to commit a bit of time and effort to learn how to get good at promoting things for other people on the internet as affiliates and resellers.

The real issue is understanding the realities of the online (affiliate) marketing game and knowing what to look for.

Ask questions first before you join an affiliate program. Do a little research about the choices of program that you intend to join into. Get some answers because they will be the deciding point of what you will be achieving later on.

Will it cost you anything to join? Most affiliate programs being offered today are absolutely free of charge. Avoid those that charge you money before joining.

When do they issue the commission checks? Every program is different. Some issue their checks once a month, every quarter, etc. Select ones that are suited to your payment time choice. Many affiliate programs are setting a minimum earned commission amount that an affiliate must meet or exceed in order for their checks to be issued.

What is the hit per sale ratio? This is the average number of hits to a banner or text link it takes to generate a sale based on all affiliate statistics. This factor is extremely important because this will tell you how much traffic you must generate before you can earn a commission from the sale.

How are referrals from an affiliate's site tracked and for how long do they remain in the system? You need to be confident that the program accurately tracks those people you refer to them. This is the only way that you can get credit for a sale. The period of time that those people stay in the system is also important. This is because some visitors do not buy initially but may want to return later to make the purchase. Find out if you will still get credit for the sale if it is done within a certain length of time from their initial visit to the site.

What are the kinds of affiliate stats available? Your choice of affiliate program should be capable of offering detailed stats. They should be available online anytime you decide to check them out. Constantly checking your individual stats is important to know how many impressions, hits and sales are already generated from your site. Impressions are the number of times the banner or text link was viewed by a visitor of your site. A hit is the one clicking on the banner or text links.

Does the affiliate program also pay for the hits and impressions besides the commissions on sales? Finding programs where impressions and hits are also paid is good, as this will add to the earnings you get from the sales commission. This is especially important if the affiliate program you are in has a low sales-to-hit ratio.

Who is the online retailer? Find out whom you are doing business with to know if it is really a solid company with good products. Get to know the products they are selling. The more you know about the retailer offering you the affiliate program, the easier it will be for you to know if that program is really for you and can help you meet your cashflow goals.

Is the affiliate a one tier or two tier program? A single tier program pays you only for the business you yourself have generated. A two tier program pays you for the business, plus it also pays you a commission on the on the sales generated by any affiliate you sponsor in your program. Some two-tier programs are even paying small fees on each new affiliate you sponsor.

Lastly, what is the amount of commission paid? 5% - 20% is the commission paid by most programs. But many pay 50% all the way to 75% (yes, it's true). If you find a program that also pays for impressions, the amount paid can be worthwhile if you know how to generate lots of web traffic.

These are just some of the questions that you should consider when joining an affiliate program.

Getting Started

As you are probably aware, there are a ton of sites and products out there promising that you'll get rich as an affiliate if you use thier software program or by following their system. And a good portion of them are useful. But, just remember the phrase "All that glitters is not gold." If you are not sure, ask someone you trust and who understands successful online marketing.

You Can Do It

Well here's the good news. You can get rich with affiliate marketing on the internet or by selling your own products.

There are hundreds of millions (and soon to be a couple billion) of people all over the world with access to the internet. The vast majority will have debit and credit cards. The chances are extremely good that in any given month you can find several people to buy something you are promoting.

It's a numbers game, folks. The more people that see your ad or affiliate link, the more money you will make. Simple.

All you have to do is get started and learn how to do it correctly.

But it's not for whiners, complainers, quitters or those who lack patience and insist that there is some "get rich quick" guarantee.

But once you get it right and really know what you are doing, it is a great lifestyle.
