Five Pitfalls to Avoid Before Choosing an Affiliate Program to Make Money Online
Filed under Make Tons of MoneyNov 9If you are considering joining an affiliate program to make money online or to replace your full time income, then you need to be aware of some of the pitfalls that many make. A lot of people are enamored about the hyped up website showing people making hundreds of thousands of dollars overnight and they jump into affiliate marketing without any knowledge of how it works and end up wasting a ton of time, effort and money.
Below I will share with you the 5 most common mistakes most new marketers make so you can avoid them and be more effective at making money online in a reasonable amount of time.
Pitfall #1 – Owner Competes With Affiliates
Many affiliate program owners compete with their affiliates because they are promoting everywhere they are telling their affiliates to promote but they have more money and resources than their affiliate so they end up getting all the sales and the affiliates end up wasting a tremendous amount of time and effort. You want to find an affiliate program where the owner is supporting and training you to successfully promote their product to grow their affiliate base which in turn brings them a lot more business and sales rather than competing with you and putting you out of business.
Pitfall #2 – Low Payout
You want to avoid picking an affiliate program that has a low payout commission. You don’t want to pour all your effort into promoting a program that only pays out a measly 15-20% or less. Ideally something that pays out 50-75% is what you want to look for so it justifies you spend your time to send them traffic because you know you will be earning a good amount of money for the work you put in.
Pitfall #3 – Outdated Stats or no stats
Try to find a program that has quality, up to date statistics on their conversions and sales. You don’t want to make the mistake of basing your marketing efforts on old out dated stats that are no longer true because you will waste your time. This is not too common as most affiliate owners keep their stats fresh but be aware of it when you are choosing a program to promote.
Pitfall #4 – Lack of Support
With some programs affiliate’s end up waiting long periods of time to hear back from an affiliate program owner on questions they may have. This is not good at all as it shows the way the owner runs their operation and their most likely will be problems in the future. Look for some type of notice that the owner has a support desk or that they have a quick turn around in support questions.
Pitfall #5 – Outdated Advertising Resources and Ads
Some programs have a limited amount of advertising methods for their affiliates or only a few ads for you to use and the ads may work well at first but as time goes on and many affiliates are using the same ads, the market gets saturated and the ads become useless. The people that would buy the product start to become numb to your ads and often won’t visit the site due to the fact that they were turned off by seeing the same ads over and over again. So be sure to find an affiliate program that offers a multitude of advertising ideas ranging from free to paid methods and that there are many different ads you can use that have been tested to convert highly.
Remember these 5 pitfalls when you are choosing an affiliate program to make money online and you will save yourself a lot of time and avoid a lot of frustration. You will be a lot happier and experience success a lot faster if you avoid these pitfalls. -

There’s no super secret formula to making money on the internet. If you really want to make money online, then what you have to do is choose a particular technique and then stick to it. Although some techniques border on marketing techniques, they are also business models. Follow the rules for each of these business models, and you may begin earning an income in as little as a few hours.
1. Affiliate Marketing
This business style has a lot of advantages. You don’t need to do any customer service, create your own products, or even build a website if you don’t want to. With a little creativity, you may market these programs just about any way that you want, and you may even make money giving away stuff for free.
2. Blogging
Blogging is both an internet marketing technique and a business model. There are bloggers online who make six figure incomes doing it, so it’s very lucrative.
What’s key here is to choose a topic that you are passionate about and write about it. You may sell your own products, affiliate products, advertising, or a whole host of things on your blog. Just make sure they are related.
3. Freelance Writing
Freelance writing is just one of many of the services you may perform online to make money. Services are very lucrative if you have a specific type of expertise and you are good at marketing yourself.
What’s important about marketing services is that you enjoy what you do, and you are willing to do it for money. More importantly, getting out there and marketing is the difference between those who earn good incomes from services and those who don’t.
4. Bum Marketing
Bum marketing is a specific way of marketing affiliate programs. What you do is select several products that you are interested in. Then you write articles to promote each of the products. You include your affiliate link in the resource box of your article.
Keep in mind here that certain article directories won’t allow you to include a link to an affiliate program in the resource box. So, you will either need to buy a domain or create a simple website to send your traffic to. The best part is, the more articles you write, the more money you make.
5. Squidoo
Squidoo is a site started by entrepreneur Seth Godin. What this site allows you to do is to build simple one page sites on a specific topic or product. You may build as many of these little sites, or lenses, as you like.
Lenses may be used to market both your own products or affiliate products. The more lenses you build, the more money you make.
6. Product Creation
Product creation is only limited by your imagination. You may write short PDF reports that solve the specific problems for your customers. Then there are audios, books, CDs, or tons of other physical products you may make like tshirts on Cafepress.
If you have a hobby, you may want to sell what you know. Look at your skills and knowledge to help you get ideas for creating products.
7. Pay Per Click
Ultimately, pay per click is not free. Eventually, if you pursue this as a long time money making venture, you will have to spend some money. However, when you are first getting started, find pay per click sites that offer free traffic so you can try it out first.
Start small. Promote affiliate programs so you don’t need a website. As your business grows, develop more campaigns and invest more money.
There are about as many ways to make money online as there are people. Keep it simple. Choose marketing techniques and products that interest you and then build a business around it. You will succeed.

Although there is some debate within the internet marketing community on whether or not you need a website and/or list, there are those on both sides who are making a lot of money.
Whether you build a website or a list depends on certain factors. Although these are effective ways to build your business and can allow you to recycle your traffic, there is also a certain amount of maintenance involved in using these two techniques to build your business.
For those who are looking to make a full time income without a lot of hassle, it’s easily possible to do it without a website or a list. You also don’t need a product. In fact, these techniques work just as well with affiliate programs.
Here are five easy ways to make money online without a website or list:
1. Bum Marketing
This is a term coined by internet marketer Travis Sago. What you do is choose topics you are interested in and have a market, find products on the topic and then write as many articles as possible to promote those products.
2. Video Marketing
Videos are very popular, and once you learn how to create them, it’s actually easier to create videos than write articles. You may create video tutorials and walk throughs of the products you are marketing.
3. Classified Ads
Craig’s List is one of the top 50 websites on the internet. It’s a very popular website and gets billions of page views every month. This is only one example.
There are tons of free and low cost classified ad sites where you may post your ads and advertise your products or services.
4. Forum Marketing
Forum marketing is one of the fastest ways to make money online provided you have some specialized knowledge of the topics you are promoting. In fact, internet marketer Alok Jain used this technique to earn around $350 a day.
If you are looking for the fastest way to get started without spending money, this is the way.
5. Pay Per Click
This is by far the most lucrative way to make money without a website or a list. It’s also the only technique that requires you spend money.
There are those online who make over one million dollars a year doing using pay per click with affiliate programs. If you have the spare cash, and you aren’t interested in creating your products, this is the best way to get started.
Regardless of how you decide you want to make money online, remember that the most lucrative way to do it is to find techniques that work. Then, take action on those techniques. Ultimately, the key to making money online is to take action.

You have infinite number of choices on what you can sell. Here are the main categories.
· Your own products and/or services.
· Someone else’s products and/or services.
Research has proven that you will make more money with your own product or service. If you have one, great! Keep reading to learn how to promote your product.
For those that don’t already have a product or service to sell, step 1 for you is Research. Start with an idea. Say you want to sell beauty care products. What you need is a wholesale supplier, preferably one that dropships to your customers so that you don’t have to stock inventory. Or, you could work out a contract with a local beauty care center in your area to sell their products online for them. Many small retail stores do not have the time to get setup online. Your job then would be to sell them on your resell services. Just remember, keep it simple! Do not over think this, just start small and remember that you can always make changes along the way. The hardest part for most people in any new venture is just to get started! Remember, just do something everyday, even it is small, that grows your business.
One way to research for products is to brainstorm. List the different types of businesses or products that you have a personal interest in. The list could contain anything from carpentry to printing, fishing gear to picnic supplies. Whatever comes to mind, write it down! Next, you will need to research the viability of obtaining your products at the right price and being able to sell them at a profit. One great resource is to use the OneSource online product sourcing tool from World Wide Brands. Chris Malta has been an online marketer for many years. He offers a free eBook on his sight that tells all the ins and outs of reselling products online. I have used his services for years and have watched as he has evolved his business. He is legitimate and offers the most complete resource for finding drop ship and wholesale suppliers online. Take your list, visit World Wide Brands and look for suppliers. Make sure to research the companies by visiting their websites. Look for their physical location, although not really important if you are drop shipping, to see how far they are from you. Also, check their policy page and make sure you understand them for each company does things a little different.
Just to put all the misinformation to rest, you will have to invest some money and time into your online business. That is, if you want to be successful. There are sites that you can get into for free. These companies will give you a nice pretty site with tons of products, but you still have to promote it. Now, that being said, there are ways to make money online without investing a lot of money. The hardest and longest road to selling products online is producing your own. This takes a lot of time and a lot of money, usually. Less severe is taking the online resale approach as I described above by reselling products you buy at a wholesale price. The last option is the best and least costly for beginners. This approach is what is known as affiliate marketing. This is very similar to the above method of selling someone else’s products for a profit, only affiliate marketing usually entails selling an information product like an ebook by referring others to a site where you will get credit for the sale if they buy the product and then collect a commission. Remember what I said about keeping it simple and starting out small?
The affiliate marketing method can be used for almost any product or service on your list. Visit most websites today and you can find a link on their main page that invites you to become an ‘affiliate.’ This is your opportunity to get into an online business with very little effort or money. Beware! Don’t be drawn into the sites that charge a fee to become an affiliate, most are scams. To pick a legitimate affiliate program that you can use to make money, look for the presence of a legitimate business structure, quality products that are useful and priced well according to their value, and one that provides resources and tools to help with marketing. Following these standards of scrutiny will ensure that you have a quality product that is ready to sell.
Once you have found your product, whatever it is, there are many more steps to take before you will make money. The next step will be to look at setting up your business with a professional name and image and determining what else you will need to start your business
