Affiliate Marketing for Dummies - Part 2

Affiliate Internet Marketing - Finding A Good Product To Sell
The Second Step in Affiliate Marketing is to find a product to sell. It is easy. You can go to www.clickbank.com and search for a quite popular product. For beginner, it is easier to sell information product from Clickbank.com since you basically can hands-off. You don't have to worry about delivery, warranty and support. Your job is to refer visitors to the merchant's website. If the visitor buys, you earn a commission. Otherwise you wasted your effort.

The reason I recommend you to get a popular product is very simple. If the product is selling well, it proves 2 things. Firstly, there is a market for the product. The demand must be quit good. Secondly, the sales page of the product must be quite good. Otherwise, it may not be able to sell so many. So, for a new affiliate marketer, it is easier to look for such product to sell than to trying to get a less popular product and try to push it fot the visitors. If you want to products, take at look at Internet Marketing website to get an idea of what to sell.

In Internet Marketing, it boils down to only 2 things: Traffic and Conversion.

Once you have chosen your product, the next thing you do is to promote the product. You can use Pay Per Click search engine to bring traffic to your website. There are other ways to get traffic but those will take time to build.

World Internet Mega Sumit 2007 At Singapore Expo

This is the largest Internet Marketing in the world right now. Over 2,000 people attended this 4 days event. Many of the people are new to the Internet Marketing while about half of them are either already making money online or has tried doing Internet Marketing. One thing for sure, many people has given up their "traditional" trade to move into the Internet. Generally, people who are already running a traditional business tend to have easier success than people who had been employee all their lives. This goes to show that Internet marketing is not about the "technical stuff", it is more about "business".

Different Internet marketers has their own methods of generating traffic and creating products. Among them, Tom Hua has been using viral marketing with eBook. His famous “Working with Clickbank” is still floating around many places after more than 5 years.

Mark Joyner, the God Father of Internet Marketing, has always come across to me as a “deep thinking” person. He advises us against using short-term tactics like bribe, trick, fake, pollute, steal etc to gain quick sales. He advocates long term, honest, sincere method using “irresistible offer” that comes with lots of “real” value to the customer.
