Frequently Asked Questions
Obviously it’s normal to ask questions and it’s my duty to help you out and clear any confusions that you might have. Sometimes the explaining can be redundant so I’ve listed the top questions here together with my answers. Your most common questions about Internet marketing are most likely answered below but if you have any further questions then feel free to contact me here.
Question: What is Affiliate Marketing?
Answer: Most of the time affiliate marketing is interchanged with Internet marketing. Affiliate marketing is basically the process of selling or promoting a product or service on the Internet and receiving a commission for every sale that you generate.
In most cases, people are going to search on Google to find a solution to their problem. As an Internet marketer your role is to deliver the solution with a product recommendation through your affiliate link. If the reader clicks the link and buys a product from the vendor that you’re promoting, you’re going to earn a commission for it.
I have prepared a guide on how you can start with affiliate marketing and I recommend that you download and implement it.
Question: Can Anyone Make Money Online?
Answer: That’s a BIG YES! Is my excitement that obvious? hehehe. If you can open up a computer, browse websites and open up your email then you’re ready to get started right now! You don’t have to be technical, you don’t need a marketing degree and you don’t have to be that really smart.
If you just spend 2-3 hours per day for 1-2 years working on your Internet marketing business, you’ll ask yourself why you’ve been working for someone else for pennies! If you are willing to work hard and set a few goals for yourself, you will be surprised as to what you can achieve online.
Question: I Don’t Have Any Product to Sell. Is That Okay?
Answer: I also don’t have my own products but I can promote products of other people in exchange for a commission. Basically I’m an affiliate marketer.
Your role is to promote other people’s products in exchange for a commission. These companies will give you special affiliate links that track the visitors you send and will automagically give you a commission if your visitor buys something.
There are affiliate networks like Clickbank out there that pay 75% on most of the products, so if you sell something that is $40, you get a $30 cut. Pretty cool right?
There are 10,000’s of affiliate programs out there in every imaginable industry. There are even affiliate programs for selling rocks!
Affiliate commissions add up very quickly when you understand that you only need to get 4-5 customers out of a billion people online each day to buy something through your link. If an average sale is around $35, you can see that without a ton of work you will be making $175 extra/day..30 days per month.
Question: Can You Guarantee My Success?
Answer: Now that’s a BIG NO! And I always say that with conviction. Nobody can guarantee you anything.
It is like me saying, can I guarantee you will work hard at something. Unfortunately I can’t, but what I can tell you is that if you work at this and treat it like a business, you will become successful.
People do fail all the time within the business world and it is though who continue pushing forward after failure that are successful.
The Internet has opened doors for everyone. You have the same opportunity as me, and we all have the same opportunity as larger companies out there. Everyone is on an even playing field and there has never been a better time to start. Average people like you and I can make $10,000’s every month without even having a product that we own!
Question: Who am I, and why should you listen to every word I say?
Answer: I’ve started working on Internet marketing back in July 2009. I’m very much like you, I didn’t have any fancy marketing degrees but I was just sick and tired of the daily 9-5 grind and working for someone else to make them rich.
I’m now a full-time Internet marketer and have been making a decent income from my Internet marketing business. I don’t expect you to believe me and you can just ignore everything in here. All I can say is that I wish you the best of luck trying to find someone that can really help you.
