Internet Affiliate Marketing, What is it?

With the economy the way that it is more and more people are turning to the Internet for relief and a source of income.

So how can you climb aboard the Internet bandwagon and get a piece of the pie for you and your family?

Internet Affiliate Marketing is quickly becoming a very popular way for the average person, without any business skills, to make a presence and earn an income.

Well just what is affiliate marketing?

That is a good question and I will give you a very short answer, trying to keep it simple.

Internet Affiliate Marketing is advertising and then selling products for a company that you don't even work for. You are performing a service for them and they, in turn, are willing to pay you for that service. It is like a commission sale.

If you owned a store at the local mall, there is no way that you could be there each and every day 24/7. Besides, don't you think your time would be best spent growing your business?

So what would you do? You would advertise for employees looking for people to work for you and sell your products.

That is exactly what an Internet Affiliate Marketing Expert does. They will become an affiliate for a company on the Internet. Then they will advertise and send customers to the company's website hoping the customer will buy the products they were searching for on the Internet.

Sure there are some special skills you need to learn, but anyone can do this.

There are lots of Internet Company's out there that specialize in putting Affiliate Marketers, like you and I, in touch with those companies that are selling products online.

You would sign up with one of them and get an affiliate ID then you would be able to safely sell from tens of thousands of registered websites.

Think maybe you could find one you could be interested in?

This is short so if you want a little more information on what to do next check out the site about Internet Affiliate Marketing Explained. There is a lot more valuable information, and in greater detail, there.

Take care,

How to Build an Internet Business from Home

Ever since the Internet came about I have dreamed about someday having an Internet Business out of my home. As usual, thoughts like those fell on the back burner. General life problems and situations always seem to take the front burner.

But the dream kept growing and rolling around in my head.

I always thought, what could I possibly do online to make some money? I don't have any special talents. I sometimes have trouble even navigating around the Internet. So the back burner takes hold of me once again.

My son-in-law has a knack for eBay and seems to be able to turn just about anything into a profit. I don't have his talents or an interest in eBay. So I kept thinking about what else I could do.

I read somewhere about affiliate marketing and building an online homebased business, around that principle. Affiliate marketing is akin to being a commissioned salesperson without having to deal with a customer, face-to-face.

That sounded interesting to me. So I looked into it a bit further.

I didn't want to have to spend a lot of money on education but I was willing to spend a little each month on a membership fee, as long as I got more than my money's worth.

I wanted all the Internet marketing tools I needed, for free, plus the ability to build webpages, again for free. But the webpage building feature had to be really easy as I didn't want to be bothered with HTML coding and the like.

Then I found all of my requirements, plus a lot more, and my homebased Internet Business started to slowly take shape.

Not making a lot of money yet, but stick around and I will tell you more as I progress.

If you are interested, the links on this blog will take you to more detailed information.

Take care,

Internet Affiliate Marketing is a Scam Blog Post

Pretty excited about this new website that I just created. It talks to the subject; Internet Affiliate Marketing is a Scam. I don’t know about you but I am tired of all those so called Internet Guru’s puffing their chests with their inflated, outdated junk.

Before you get all huffy, I know there are a lot of very knowledgeable people that sell quality products. They really want to help you too. Those are the good guys and not the ones I am writing about.

I am tired of those jerks that just want your money and offer yesterdays material repackaged in some clever way. They really don’t care if the information is good or not, they just want your money.

Their webpages were created by some professional copywriters that really know their stuff. They hit all the great emotional hot buttons that really get your blood flowing fast. Makes you want to whip out your credit card and order right now. At least it does to me.

Sure, they offer a money back guarantee, good luck on getting hold of them after you find out what you purchased. Might as well just send them your money and not worry about getting a product from them.

I don’t want this to be too long so I’ll end in a jiffy. At the end of the webpage I am sending you to on Internet Affiliate Marketing is a Scam; there is an outstanding instructional site.

Let me know what you think, I am always interested in hearing from my readers.

Take care,
Ken
