One method I'm trying to use to make profitable websites is affiliated marketing. One of the best affiliated marketers on the web is Ebay. Now for those of you who don't know what affiliated marketing is or how it works let me give you a basic run down.
Affiliate Marketing is an internet-based marketing practice in which a business rewards one or more affiliates for each visitor or customer brought about by the affiliate's marketing efforts.
Now thats straight from Wikipedia. Pretty much what that is saying is that if you put something on your site that belongs to someone else, and acts as more of a directory then a website. So when someone clicks on the product it sends them to ebay. From their one of two things can happen. They either by the product or sign up as a member. Either way that's $$$ for you. You get 65 percent of what ebay makes off of every sale. With that in mind if your selling a cheaper product like a video game, your bottom line won't be as much as if you sell a car.
The first step you want to do when trying to use affiliated marketing is establish your website. You don't want to apply for affiliated marketing without having a website.
Second is you have to apply to Ebay Partner network. Applying is pretty easy its a small form and usually takes about a week for them to process. If you successfully do that your on your way to making money with Ebay affiliated marketing.
Next time I'll touch on clickbank and how you can use it to make money for your websites.
If you need traffic there are alot of outlets out their. Use social networking for relatively cheap traffic.
Any questions or tips feel free to comment!
