Online Profits Should Begin With Affiliate Marketing

In the 19 th and 20th centuries we witnesses the industrial age. But as the 20th century drew to a close we began to witness a new age. The information age. In this article i will discuss why you should start your online marketing career and begin with affiliate marketing.

What is Online Marketing.

Online line marketing is self expanatory. It is the process of marketing your goods and services through the internet medium. The internet has made it possible to reach markets world wide.

Another name for online marketing is internet marketing. To be able to conduct internet marketing effectively you need a website and products to market to customers or prospects.

Internet marketing systems.

You as an internet marketer you need to set up systems to effectively market your products. As i said earlier you need a website and you need prospects as well.To get a website you will need to build one. Lets say you don't know HTML, that is computer code language. Then you will have to hire someone to build a website for you, a web designer. But web designers don't come cheap and if you are just starting out you may not have that kind of money.

The next alternative would be to buy software that you can install on your computer and it will allow you to point and click your way to a new website design. Once you have got your website designed, providing you have a domain name registered and a hosting platform. You can get these from reputable companies like Godaddy and 1 and 1.

The next thing to do is add content to your webpages so as to let google's spiders begin to crawl your site. Also this will help with search engine optimization so that in the long run you will get organic higher rankings.

Free Traffic Systems.

When your site has been launched you need to increase the traffic to your site in the fasted possible way for free. My best and probably the best method is Article Marketing. So when you begin with affiliate marketing don't forget to include Article Marketing.

What Is Article Marketing?

Simply put Article Marketing is the process of distributing your article to site owners, editors, publishers and newsletters across the web. You can do this manually by distributing your article to each article directory or you can use a submission service that will distribute your articles to the thousands of directories on the web for you at a price.

Once your articles have been distributed and they have come up in the search engine results because of the keywords placed within them that people have been looking for, those same people called target markets will read your articles and click on the links in the resource box at the end of the article and be taken to your website where they can then purchase your affiliate products and services.

As an affiliate you do not own the product so you only get a commission. But then you do not have to deal with refunds and customer service like product owners have to.
