Community &
Networking
I'm one
of those people who waits until the last minute to begin my holiday gift buying
because I dread the busy stores and long lines. This year I decided to shop
online and support other work at home moms in the process. By purchasing from
their individual websites, it eliminates my need to go from store to store
hoping to find the right gift and it gives them a sale too.
I started my shopping last week on our
Holiday Bargains page. I was able to purchase a couple items that I think my
mom will enjoy and I found one for myself as well. ;-) With designer inspired
jewelry, gourmet foods, body products, personalized perfumes, books and puzzles,
as well as many other items, you too can find gifts for the whole family.
Just one tip... order
early to ensure your gifts arrive on time!

Affiliate Marketing - Starting with the Basics
By
Mila Sidman
A few days ago Patricia wrote in and asked -
"I am very interested in Affiliate Marketing. How can I really get into the
market? I need to know how to get these companies on my website"
I understand exactly where you're coming from
Patricia. I haven't forgotten those first days when I started affiliate
marketing, what seems a breeze now was extremely confusing back then. So you're
not alone! Let's get started...
I'm not sure what type of website or business
you're in but my suggestion is that you look around for products that compliment
your site. Think about what your target customers need and do a search for these
types of affiliate programs. Good places to look are
www.cj.com and for information products try
www.clickbank.com.
You can also look through your website statistics
to research what keyword phrases your visitors are using to find you. You may
discover certain products you can promote.
When you have a list of programs you'd like to
promote, simply sign up for each one and start adding the links to your site. I
recommend that you start with one or two good programs rather than filling up
your website with a bunch of different banners or links. Having one or two
programs will help you really concentrate on the promotions and track your
results.
Once you have your links ready, it's really just
a matter of providing great content for your readers and weaving in affiliate
links where appropriate. Don't go overboard or try too hard. Instead think of it
as a simple strategy where you're giving people what they need.
When you're giving your visitors the information
they need, they will naturally click on your links when you make
recommendations. The main thing is to research the products you're promoting and
ensure that they're all high quality and actually helpful to your visitors -
follow that strategy and you really can't go wrong.
Above all, keep in mind that people surf the net
for information first and foremost. That doesn't mean you can't sell, it just
means you need to use strategies that work online. A free course I recommend to
anyone getting started is Dr. Ken Evoy's Affiliate Masters Course - You can
download it here -
www.internetbasedmoms.com/m/sbiaffiliate.html
That's probably by far the best comprehensive
free resource I've found. I also have a basic affiliate marketing guide you can
download for free here,
http://www.internetbasedmoms.com/affiliate-guide.html and we have a
step-by-step tutorial and lots of great articles here
http://www.internetbasedmoms.com/affiliates/ (they're all free)
I hope that helps. I know what a minefield
getting started can be. The resources I've given you won't cost a penny and you
should be able to gain enough basic knowledge to get started.
