I am a work from home mom who has recently given up my teaching career and plunged into affiliate marketing world. To be exact, I am setting up dozens of affiliate niche blogs to make money online.
There are 6 reasons that prompted me to try out affiliate marketing to earn multiple income streams. I am sure some work-at-home moms will agree with me they are also driven by these 6 reasons to set up their affiliate business websites or affiliate niche blogs.
1. You do not need to buy products first before you can promote them, so it’s basically zero cost to start.
2. You do not need to create your own product. Not needing to start creating anything from scratch greatly reduces the start up capital needed for setting up an online business and saves you a lot of time doing research on whether your product will be popular or whether it can even sell.
3. You do not need to keep inventory. If you need to buy and store some goods before you start selling them, you bear the risk of not being able to sell your products and end up stocking more and more stocks.
4. You do not need to handle customer service issues. As customer support is provided back end by the affiliate program owners, you are free from sticky customer service issues. I am a work from home mom who isn’t good at building close personal relationship and dealing with customer complaints, so affiliate business suits me best.
5. You do not need to worry about the technical bits of creating a website. You just need to build an informative blog to attract buyers to your affiliate niche blog. It’s very easy to create a blog using WordPress or Blogger.
Setting up an affiliate niche blog saves you a lot of time when you are just starting out your own online business if compared to setting up a website.
6. It’s FREE to join all kinds of affiliate networks and their affiliate programs. Since they are free to join, you can promote as many affiliate niche programs as you like through your affiliate niche blogs and thus generate multiple income streams.
Affiliate marketing is definitely an ideal work from home opportunity, either as a full time or part time venture for most stay-at-home moms and work-at-home moms. However, you must be well-prepared that you need to pump in your time and efforts before seeing sales or commissions appear in your bank account.
Always read extensively tips, advice and reports on affiliate marketing, making money blogging and building affiliate niche blogs. Read free reports and tutorials that are available online before investing in any make money online ebooks.
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.
