Easy Money With Affiliate Marketing

Posted in work at home, money, commission blueprint review, clickbank, affiliate marketing at 8:48 pm

Over the past couple of months I’ve been working with some small affiliate programs at www.clickbank.com. I use to be big into affiliate marketing, but I was never a big fan of the low payout. I also always thought the only real people making out are the actual owners of the product.

Well over the last few months I’ve been pushing some affiliate products, and forgot just how easy it is to make some quick money. Sure the owner may still make most of the money, and do less work but if you need quick and easy money affiliate marketing is the place to go.

Before I share with you my data of my affiliate account you need to know that I’ve only been doing affiliate marketing part-time and only work at it 1 – 2 hours per day on it as I have a bigger project I’ve been working on.

• October 2008 - $1,485.68
• November 2008 - $1,241.41
• December 2008 - $749.98

As you can see for working only part-time and just a couple of hours each day it’s not bad for some extra income. Also as of today 1/13/09 I’m up to $757 for the month of January.

Now you can see each month dropped off a little bit, and that is normal since November and December are big holiday months and are the 2 slowest months for any home business.

So how can you do this?

Simple, first create an account at www.clickbank.com. Then choose which products you would like to promote. I usually pick the “making money” product since I know a lot about the topic. Then it’s just a matter of promoting your affiliate link or website.

If you need help starting out in affiliate marketing I highly recommend  Commission Blueprint. I bought this product about 3 months ago, and it offers great videos but also a great e-book that starts you out at the beginner level and slowly builds you up to the expert affiliate level.

Goals For Your Business In 2009

Posted in home business, work at home at 5:16 pm

The New Year is here, and with that its time to set some new goals for my business. I had to think long and hard about what I wanted to change as I thought 2008 was a good year, and I thought I did a good job. However any business can always be tweaked or changed for the better.

So my question is what are your goals going to be for your business in 2009?

Maybe your goal is to increase your leads or conversions. Whatever it might be I know for 2009 I want to make some small changes that I feel will pay off in a huge way.

Here is my list of goals for my business in 2009.

• Double my websites traffic.

I’ll be the first to admit it. I slacked off at promoting my so called “money makers”. These are the websites that make me most of my money. Why did I slack off? Well just pure laziness I guess really, but if I look into it more though I feel the real reason is I was satisfied with the amount of traffic my websites where getting. However this is a goal I must focus on if I wish to do more business.

• Increase leads and conversions.

Getting leads is the backbone of any business. Without leads you will never expand your business, and you will never increase your profits. So my goal is to increase not only my leads but my conversions (pay less and get more). I plan to do this by creating new and creative lead capture pages, and increase my over all marketing.

• Give better support

I feel I give some of the best support to my members right now. However I think I can still do a better job, and I believe by doing this it will keep paying members around a lot longer, and increase the amount of new ones that come aboard.

• Create more videos

At least once a week in 2008 I would say to myself “today I’m going to create a video”. Yet the day would go by and no video would be created. Video is a huge part of the Internet world, and I need to capitalize on this more. So my goal is to get off my butt and create at least one or two videos per week.

These are my new goals for my business in 2009. It’s important to set new goals as they will help your business expand and overall become better then it was the year before.

So what are some of your goals for your business in 2009?
