Start Your Own Online Business

I don't have to tell you about the benefits of working from home. Nothing beats the 10 second commute! Affiliate programs, Google AdSense and e-commerce have created fantastic opportunities for average Joes (just like me) to have fun and make money at the same time.

Monitize Your Passion

Never built a website before?

Been burned by GRQ (Get-Rich-Quick) or MLM (Multi-Level-Marketing) programs where all you achieved was annoying your friends and family?

Don't believe you can really make money from home on the Internet?

Have a hobby or interest that you are passionate about?

The answer, my friend, is simple: Monitize your passion!

You don't have to know HTML. You don't have to be a technical wiz. You don't have to be a marketing expert. Just build your own profitable website using a newbie-friendly, online site building solution.

Generate income from your passion with affiliate programs and Google ads, or selling your own products or services. Check out some real people who are doing just that.

What is an Affiliate Program?

An affiliate program is basically a partnership where you refer products or services from a merchant and receive sales or referral commission. If you have an existing website why not put it to work and extend your business interests? As well as generating sales for your primary business your site can build a residual income stream by referring your visitors to your recommended, related products.

You can even build a site devoted entirely to an affiliate program - you don't have to have your own product or service. Many people are doing this and making a good living from it.

Super Affiliates Handbook

This is a great e-book by Rosalind Gardner called:

"How I made $436,797 Last Year Selling Other People's Stuff Online"

Now that title just has to make you sit up and take notice, right? Rosalind has written a very comprehensive guide to affiliate marketing that takes you right through the basics of setting up your business, through to in-depth information on affiliate managers such as Clickbank and Commission Junction. A lot of useful info here. Read my review of Super Affiliates Handbook

OK, ready to have a go at Affiliate Marketing. Let's join a program! The program I'm going to recommend to get you started is considered by many to be the best on the Net.

And it is!

If you've looked over this site you'll see I've recommended a number of products from Ken Evoy's SiteSell such as Site Build It. Why? I USE them and they've had a measurable effect on my own business. In particular, Make Your Site Sell (now free) has helped me enormously. Ken's affiliate program is known as the Five Pillar Club and like all good affiliate programs it's FREE to join.

SiteSell.com is entirely affiliate driven, and SiteSell affiliates have driven it to the top. Here's proof!

Recurring Commissions

One of the best types of affiliate programs you can join are those that generate recurring commission. That is, after you've made the sale you will continue to earn on-going commissions as your customer continues to use the product/service.

One of my favourites in this category is AWeber. AWeber is a fantastic service which of course I use myself. What is AWeber? They provide an "autoresponder" and newsletter broadcast service. An autoresponder allows you to automate your email marketing. I use AWeber to manage my free course and newsletter subscriptions.

AWeber has one of the best affiliate programs on the Web, and because sales are made by way of subscriptions, you can earn on-going referral commission.
