The Fastest and Easiest Way to Profit Online

Find a niche !

You have probably heard this before, but it is true. The easiest way to get started is to write down the things you enjoy the most, e.g gardening, cooking,fishing. Break them into smaller sub-niches, e.g cooking-african cuisine,italian, healthy cooking.
My advice is to select a "problem" niche, e.g acne, eczema e.t.c.This are the kind of "problem"niches you must find
1.Problems that keep people awake at night
2.Problems that drive people to search for solutions
3.Problems that people are willing to pay for to solve....

The next step is to do keyword research based on your chosen niche-this is the most important step. You can use a free tool-WORDTRACKER.

Wordtracker gives 100 keywords for the chosen topic,but it will also give an estimate on how many times those keywords are searched for everyday.
Happy niche hunting.

I will be providing you with more resources to help you find your niche.
Cheers

So Many Affiliate Programs! Which One Do I Choose?

You have to ask questions first before you join an affiliate program. Do a little research about the choices of program that you intend to join into.

Will it cost you anything to join? Most affiliate programs being offered today are absolutely free of charge. So why settle for those that charge you some dollars before joining.

When do they issue the commission checks? Every program is different. Some issue their checks once a month, every quarter, etc. Select the one that is suited to your payment time choice. Many affiliate programs are setting a minimum earned commission amount that an affiliate must meet or exceed in order for their checks to be issued. .

How are referrals from an affiliate’s site tracked and for how long do they remain in the system? You need to be confident on the program enough to track those people you refer from your site. This is the only way that you can credit for a sale. The period of time that those people stay in the system is also important. This is because some visitors do not buy initially but may want to return later to make the purchase. Know if you will still get credit for the sale if it is done some months from a certain day.

What are the kinds of affiliate stats available? Your choice of affiliate program should be capable of offering detailed stats. They should be available online anytime you decide to check them out. Constantly checking your individual stats is important to know how many impressions, hits and sales are already generated from your site. Impressions are the number of times the banner or text link was viewed by a visitor of your site. A hit is the one clicking on the banner or text links.

Does the affiliate program also pay for the hits and impressions besides the commissions on sales? It is important that impressions and hits are also paid, as this will add to the earnings you get from the sales commission. This is especially important if the program you are in offers low sales to be able to hit ratio.

Who is the online retailer? Find out whom you are doing business with to know if it is really a solid company. Know the products they are selling and the average amount they are achieving. The more you know about the retailer offering you the affiliate program, the easier it will be for you to know if that program is really for you and your site.

Is the affiliate a one tier or two tier program? A single tier program pays you only for the business you yourself have generated. A two tier program pays you for the business, plus it also pays you a commission on the on the sales generated by any affiliate you sponsor in your program. Some two-tier programs are even paying small fees on each new affiliate you sponsor. More like a recruitment fee.

These are just some of the questions that needed answering first before you enter into an affiliate program. You should be familiar with the many important aspects that your chosen program should have before incorporating them into your website. Try to ask your affiliate program choices these questions. These can help you select the right program for you site from among the many available.

The step by step success formula is coming soon....
