How To Engineer Your Own Paycheck With Affiliate Marketing

Years ago I was suckered into an Amway pitch...

But I did get one valuable takeaway that I still use today.

During their spiel, the couple who was trying to persuade me to join Amway explained it like this...

"Don't think of Amway as an expense. Because all you're really doing is simply redirecting a few dollars each month that you're spending anyway on household products and purchasing Amway products instead of some of the products that you buy at the supermarket."

So, I like to apply this same approach with affiliate marketing.

Most products and services pay you in money.

However, some reward you with credit toward their product.

So, if I'm subscribing to a service like this, I'll do my best to refer enough people on a regular basis to cancel out my subscription cost.

One example is a meal delivery service called HelloFresh.

I have to eat anyway and since HelloFresh has a refer program that rewards me in credits towards my subscription this means that if I consistently refer enough people I can cover that cost.

It's very similar to the network marketing model that preaches "get 3 and your product is free".

In this way you can cancel out popular services that you use everyday, basically making them free so you no longer have to think about those costs.

I apply this to pretty much every single online product and service I subscribe to.

I'll become an affiliate and put in at least enough effort to cancel out the cost of each of those subscriptions.

A couple of other sites and products I like to recommend that reward you with credit are...

MeUndies
Uber
Airbnb
Groupon
Instacart

SEO Strategies For Affiliate Marketing

SEO (search engine optimization) is actually pretty simple. It mainly comes down to two things: on page SEO and off page SEO. On page SEO just means optimizing your content to rank for certain keywords. The main elements on the page you want to make sure and include your target keywords are your Title and URL. As far as the body itself don't worry so much about using the exact phrases you're going after word for word... It's more important that you concentrate on providing as much value as possible and writing for humans instead of trying to keyword stuff and trying to maintain a certain keyword density . The other half of the SEO equation is off page SEO. This just means backlinks or links from other high authority or relevant sites pointing to the piece of content you're trying to rank. Off page SEO is also pretty simple - it mostly comes down to... The authority of sites linking to yours The relevance of the sites linki...

How To Promote Clickbank Offers Using Bing Ads

One of the oldest, most popular, and easiest affiliate networks to get started with is Clickbank . And one of the fastest methods of getting results online is paid traffic. PPC (pay-per-click) is one of the more popular paid traffic sources, especially for beginners. Pay-per-click basically works like SEO (search engine optimization) but on steroids. So, instead of optimizing content perfectly and waiting for it to rank, you just pay to show up. However, when it comes to promoting affiliate offers, or, more specifically, direct linking to affiliate offers , huge networks like Google AdWords aren't usually that friendly. But, luckily Bing Ads is a lot more open to affiliate marketers and allows you to direct link to your affiliate offers. So, if you're just getting started with: affiliate marketing, promoting Clickbank offers, or Bing Ads in general this is something that works. Now, to give yourself a little more of an edge though over all...

How To Flip Domain Names For Fun And Profit

Years ago I came across a blog article about a guy that was in his mid 20s, who regularly made multiple five figures per month online... Simply flipping domains. Now, we're not talking about the kind of domain flipping where you invest in expensive branded domains and then resell those to a higher bidder. All he was doing was picking up brand new domain names for just the cost of registration...and flipping those to local businesses, over and over. Now, I had heard of things like this during the dot com boom, in the early days of the Internet, so I thought the idea of flipping domains was a lost art and there was no more opportunity in that. But, this was about 2011 or so, so it was way past the dot com bubble. Now, I mention that story to reinforce that you still didn't miss the domain flipping gold rush. Flipping domains for easy profits is something anyone can still do, and it's even easier to do these days. Now, what the guy I mentioned above was d...
