How A Blogger Mom Turns To Affiliate Marketing To Make Money To Reduce Credit Card Debts July 31, 2008
Posted by Vedis in : Make Money With Affiliate Marketing , 1 comment so far
I am a blogger mom who managed to reduce credit card debts from $20,321 to $12,916 starting April 2007.
To speed up paying off my credit card debts, I started trying out affiliate marketing a few months ago to make more money online.
Prior to plunging into affiliate business, I was one of the many blogger moms who was happily bidding or grabbing paid reviews to write to make fast money. The easy money generated from paid posts did help in paying down some of credit card debt.
I am sure most busy blogger moms will agree that getting paid to blog about products or services is the easiest and fastest way to earn money online. Many stay-at-home, single or work-at-home mothers are able to earn a decent income by blogging for many blog advertising networks.
But after all my paid post blogs were smacked by Google and given PR0, I decided to stop relying on paid blog posts to generate income. Depending solely on paid posts is like putting all my eggs in one basket and this is definitely dangerous.
Thinking of not being able to write any paid reviews when I am sick lying on my bed for a few days is really scaring too. It means no income flowing into my bank account! No work, no money.
That’s why I want multiple income streams to provide me ceaseless passive income. And affiliate programs fit the bills.
My initial efforts on affiliate programs didn’t earn as much money as I am earning now, but I was very quickly seeing some sales coming in and commissions rolling in my account. Seeing some sales and commissions does give me encouragement and motivation to keep going with affiliate marketing.
Joining Amazon, ClickBank, Commission Junction and PepperjamNetwork affiliate programs is free.
Not needing to stock my own goods or merchandise saves me time, money and hassle. I simply sell other people’s products, goods or services and in return, receive commissions by doing so.
The best part about affiliate marketing is that, once I get my affiliate business going, it really can continue to operate on “auto-pilot,” producing passive income for me even when I am not actively working on maintaining and growing my affiliate business income.
For the time being I am using Search Engine Optimization (SEO) to drive traffic to my affiliate business. It still is the most effective way to get traffic directly from the free search engine listings to my multiple niche blogs.
People who go to search engines such as Google and Yahoo to search for something in particular are already predisposed to purchase the products. Working on SEO to rank highly for keywords in a particular niche helps in getting highly qualified people to my niche affiliate blogs without even spending any money.
Earning extra money with Amazon, ClickBank, Commission Junction and PepperjamNetwork affiliate programs is not as difficult as you think. But you must be prepared to work diligently and persistently on finding niches, setting up niche blogs, learning SEO and other marketing strategies, and promoting affiliate products.
Make Money With Affiliate Marketing; Make Money With PepperjamNetwork July 29, 2008
Posted by Vedis in : Make Money With PepperjamNetwork , 1 comment so farIt seems that I mention a lot about ClickBank, Google AdSense and Amazon Associates Program, except Commission Junction.
The main reason is that I promote them through all my multiple niche blogs, but only ClickBank, Google AdSense and Amazon Associates Program make me money.
Yes, my multiple niche blogs do make money from ClickBank, Google AdSense and Amazon Associates Program. Being able to generate money and passive income from affiliate marketing has spurred me to work even harder on promoting affiliate products.
It’s true that I haven’t made any sales from Commission Junction yet. One of the reasons is that only a small number of advertisers approved of my applications. Not being approved of selling products which I was very interested in made me pay more attention to ClickBank, Google AdSense and Amazon Associates Program.
Another factor is that Commission Junction pays by check. I prefer networks that pay through PayPal. I want to get my commissions fast via PayPal. As for checks, they take one month to reach my home and then another month to see the money in my savings account. Too slow.
It’s very lucky that Google AdSense pays via check or Western Union. Receiving cash via Western Union at my bank is fast and in a matter of a few minutes.
A few days ago, my blogging pal referred me to PepperjamNetwork, one of the most popular and fastest growing new affiliate networks right now.
At first I was reluctant to join PepperjamNetwork. The reason is simple. If I can’t make money from Commission Junction, I don’t think I can make money from PepperjamNetwork.
What made me sign up? PepperjamNetwork pays via Check, Direct Deposit or PayPal. Yes, the moment I was told of PayPal, I quickly signed up. And guess what? PepperjamNetwork pays out every two weeks.
Like Commission Junction, I joined as many affiliate programs as possible. Some accepted my applications automatically while some declined automatically. Those approved of my applications are programs that I am interested in. So it makes joining PepperjamNetwork a more pleasant experience than Commission Junction.
I signed up this month, therefore there would be $10 sign on bonus in my account. You get to be paid $10 sign on bonus if you sign up now.
A Work At Home Mom Focuses On Affiliate Marketing To Make Cash & Money Online July 27, 2008
Posted by Vedis in : Make Cash / Money Online , 2commentsI used to be one of those work at home moms who was busy bidding and grabbing product reviews to write to make money online last year.
Life was so meaningful and wonderful at that time because I could tell people proudly that I made money online. I was a work at home mom who made US dollars at the comfort of my home in Malaysia.
For your information, US$1 equaled to RM3.4 last year. Now US$1 equals to RM3.20.
Unfortunately, Google hates people getting paid to blog. Whoever writes product or service reviews shall be punished.
One day in November, my paid post blogs were all slammed by Google and given PR0. In most blog advertising networks, having PR0 for your blogs means that you are fired. You will not be assigned with reviews anymore.
After the PR of my paid post blogs were all smacked with big fat zero, my online income dropped from more than $1,800 a month to less than $1,000. There were months that I barely made $800.
Like most work at home mama bloggers, I felt infuriated and depressed. I was pissed off because Google destroyed my stream of online income. I needed the money to pay my expenses, home mortgage, car loan and most important of all, credit card debts.
It’s been more than 9 months since I lost the PR for all my paid post blogs. Am I still angry with Google for ripping my stream of online income?
No. Indeed, I am grateful. If not because Google penalized my paid post blogs , I wouldn’t have tried internet marketing and affiliate marketing.
I am making much money from Google AdSense recently, thanks to make money online internet marketers’ free SEO tips.
I am starting to see sales generated from ClickBank products. The commission for each product sold is simply amazing. Imagine if I only sell 3 to 5 e-books a day! I can easily make more than $100 a day. But you must be prepared to work hard if you want to sell ClickBank products.
