Earn Money Through Affiliate Products

You can earn money from Clickbank (CB)...well, that's the promise anyways. I'm not that familiar with CB but I'm going to sign up for an account and see if it's as good as it sounds. Basically, CB is a way to start earning income through affiliate products. The way you do this is by signing up for a free account and promoting other people's products. The way you make money is by creating "hop-links" and putting them on your website. So when people come to your website and see how great your content is, they will click on the link and maybe buy the product. If they don't buy the product right then and there, that's fine too. Most links and "cookies" that will remember the internet surfer's information so that if they do decide to buy the product later, your link will be credited for the link. I like Clickbank because the people that are selling their products have made a lot of money and it shows you that you too can earn money. Also, it's really easy to get started and you can start promoting products in a jiffy. Most sellers share a HUGE percentage of their profit with you and you can make up to 75% on some of the products. Can you imagine? Say you only sold 5 products and day and your share of the profit was $40. That's $200 EASY bucks a day for posting a link on your website! I'm pretty thrilled about this as it seems like getting 5 people to buy something seems like a simple process.

All I need to do is to write good content and attract people by creating fresh content, making friends, getting RSS subscribers and making sure that I keep adding friends through my niche. I am going to start searching various products on Clickbank to promote. I'll try to promote products that I think will earn money online for me and for the people using them. I heard that the earn money online niche is hard to penetrate but with millions of people searching for ways to earn money, I think a few stragglers would go to my website.

So going back to Clickbank...I bought a Clickbank E-book called the "Affiliate Code" and it states that I'm supposed to search for "high-gravity" products as these are the best types of products. High Gravity means that a lot of different people have been able to sell the product. The higher the gravity, the higher percentage of people that have successfully made a sale. I'm going to start searching for these types of products to promote.

Also, I heard it's a good idea to submit your website to Google. You can use the "add" url to Google. Once you submit your site to Google, it will automatically index your site so that you are included within Google. I'm going to do this tonight and wait to see what happens. I learned that you can check for your website by typing in site:"yourdomain.com". This will show you how many pages that Google has put inside it's search engine. Since I just started this website, I'm pretty sure that none of my webpages are within Google. Oh well, I'll add it using Google's submission thing and then wait to see what happens!

Better ad my Twitter account too. Oh, if you like what you see, you should follow me on Google or with the RSS feed. I will subscribe to you if you subcribe to me...just leave me a comment to say that you subscribed or are following me. Okay? I will continue to update my earn money online website. Like I said, if I can do it, anyone can! :)

I Want to Earn Money Online

I want to earn money online. Millions of people say this and only a handful of people actually make a full-time living online. My dream is to become filthy rich by earning money from affiliate products and from Google Adsense. I realize that this job is not for everyone and that my chance of failing is MUCH higher than me actually making any money, but this is a risk that I'm willing to try. I have never been good at keeping a steady job and do not like the thought of working in a cubicle for the rest of my life. I've been reading about various ways to make a full time income on the internet and want to become one of those people that earn money from blogging.

I have no idea how to make a living online so I might just buy some make money online affiliate products and see if any of those work. I know that I'm suppose to follow the those Blogging Gurus because they are the authority in earning money. The first lesson that I learned is that you're supposed to make friends with authorities in your niche. I'm planning on making social friends by adding a lot of people from Twitter, Facebook and Myspace. I heard the best way to get traffic to your site is by making a lot of friends in your niche and through social networking sites.

Another way that I'm planning on getting people to my site is by commenting on various blogs and adding a link to my website. This is how most of the internet gurus make their money and I believe if I follow their style that I can make a lot of money online. So things I need to do this week is to:

1. Get a Twitter Account
2. Add a lot of people from Twitter to my account
3. Create a lot of content and make frequent postsw
4. Put up affiliate ads
5. Use Clickbank and put up some affiliate links

I'm pretty excited about earning some money online and would like to share with you my journey to making a full time income online. I will also share tips about how to earn money online!
