The Affiliate Marketing Code

 Great reasons to Choose Affiliate Marketing

Deciding to become an affiliate means that you forgea business partnership with a company or business service. You will possibly receive a webpage/sales page, banners and other online marketing tools that are linked completely to you through some form of tracking link or code. When you sell this product or service you will pick up a commission somewhere between 30% - 70% percent of the value of the product or service. "some products and services may perhaps pay higher or lower"

Affiliate marketing is one of the most cost effective ways to get involved in an online business. Becoming an affiliate and joining with a product or service can be done with no set up fees most of the time and you don't have to be concerned about processing orders or keeping track of inventory, all the hard work is done for you and the only job you have to do is make sales. This is what makes affiliate marketing such an alluring offer.

Customer Support

Here's the real selling point, you never have to worry about customer support, refunds or any of the PR issues implicated with promoting and selling your own products, so you can take holidays and time off when ever you want. You don't need to set up all those high maintenance Public Relations Systems that go with the products you are selling you just set and forget, "well almost" there is still some work to do. But you retain your freedom you can drop everything and go traveling if you so desire.

It Only Takes A Very diminutive Investment and You Can Have Your Own Online Business Set Up And Running.

You don't need to have deep pockets like many conventional offline "brick and mortor" businesses do get started. All you really need is your initial investment "most of the time, under $100" and in the area of $10 per month to set up your own web hosting account with a company like JustHost or Hostgator and in the vicinity of the same for your autoresponder.

The investment you need to make is minimal and when you want free marketing you need to use a blog "blogs are enormously dominant free online marketing tools" to use when promoting your affiliate product or service, don't use a free hosting from places such as Blogger.com Or WordPress.org. Forget about the FREE blog hosting selection, you really want to stand out from the crowd and not have to be anxious about all the rules and regulations mixed up with these free platforms and if you want to brand yourself as an authority and a leader it is essential that you obtain your own domain name and hosting service. You absolutely will not ever own your site when you use a free hosting service and it is possible that all your work could vanish overnight due to red tape, rules and regulations because it is in no way in actuality your site.

One thing you will observe when it comes to choosing a paid WordPress theme is that you have a never ending array of choices. I recommend using the WordPress Thesis Theme. For the reason of online marketing it's the Theme most marketers prefer for it's easy of use, SEO "Search Engine Optimization" qualities and outstanding help and support resources. The Thesis Theme for WordPress is a high-quality SEO "Search Engine Optimization" theme that you can use to improve your sites SEO immediately.

Thesis boasts the strongest SEO of any theme on the market today thanks to its expertly-coded HTML + CSS + PHP framework. Not only that, Thesis also contains additional options that will allow you to fine-tune each and every page of your site. The days of worrying about your in-site SEO are over-with Thesis, your strategy is "just adding sick and killer content."

Tip: The human eye naturally looks to the left, so it is recommended you place your sidebar/sidebars to the right hand side of your pages. Set your blog up the way you like it and start adding your plugins and widgets. Write and post to your blog every day.

Owning your own self hosted domain sincerely gives you a more professional look from the start. If you are not familiar with domains, you can purchase your own domain name for as low as ten dollars a year at many popular domain sites like GoDaddy. Consider, the name of your domain should be simple to say, easy to spell and easy to remember. As well as applicable to the product you are going to be marketing online.

Another upside to having your own hosting and domain is that once you have created the site and created your own content and built up a following you can if you wish put the site up for sale which is another way you can make money online known as site flipping. But you can't do this if you are using those free hosting accounts.
