About Affiliate Marketing
Affiliate marketing offers an opportunity for individuals around the world to build their own online business with minimal capital outlay, low risk and the potential for very high profits. Whether your motivation is to earn a second income, recession proof your salary, give up the rat race or to create a whole new lifestyle for you and your family, affiliate marketing offers that chance.
What is Affiliate Marketing?
Affiliate marketing is a business model where you earn commission from promoting other company’s products online. Typically you do this by setting up a website in a relevant niche such as online shopping, hobbies, lifestyle, health and so on and creating an attractive and useful website that encourages visitors to spend time at your site browsing the information and offers that you provide.
How do you build a successful affiliate marketing business?
It is possible to build a successful affiliate marketing business from a single website but realistically, you should aim to build a portfolio of niche websites – known as virtual real estate (VRE) – for two very good reasons. Firstly, a well-run single website in a particular niche is likely to generate an income in the region of $500 to $1000 per month. Sure, it is possible to have a very successful authority website that earns much more than this but this takes time to build up whereas a basic website of 15-20 pages earning $500-$1000 per month within 6-12 months is relatively easy to accomplish.
Secondly, each website that you create on its own domain name (that’s the website address) becomes an asset. It is not uncommon for a well-run website that has been going for 3-5 years to sell for over $25,000. By building a number of niche websites and generating search engine traffic, you are able to build a VRE portfolio that not only produces a monthly income but also, builds saleable assets.
