<p>Affiliate marketing is a great way to start making money online. It&#8217;s easy to find a profitable niche and affiliate programs that offer products you want to promote. Then you can start an <em>online business</em> with minimal investment. Your startup investment may be <a href="http://fatbanker.com/start-with-your-own-domain/">registering your domain name</a> and paying for a hosting plan.</p>
<p>I think affiliates must have their own web site designed for a specific niche. You can earn revenue without it but you can (and will) multiply your earnings by having one. I also mentioned before that some of the <a href="http://fatbanker.com/top-affiliate-networks/">affiliate networks</a> (most of the <abbr title="Cost Per Action / Cost Per Acquisition">CPA</abbr> networks) required you to have your own website.</p>
<p><strong>Affiliate URL vs. Your Domain</strong></p>
<p>If you only promote your affiliate links, you will lose sales. People need easy to remember and short domains. They would never type in an address like <span style="color:#800000">http://www.trackingsite.com/?ref=8555412&amp;pid=10257855&amp;sid=7151521</span>. Affiliate URLs are complicated and almost impossible to remember so people will try the <span style="color: #800000">www.trackingsite.com</span> URL. If you&#8217;re lucky, cookies will save your commission. Are you lucky enough?</p>
<p>Consider you have your own website with a simple and catchy domain name. People will remember it and they will follow the links from your site. And yepp, it makes you money.</p>
<p><strong>Affiliate links vs. Redirects</strong></p>
<p>You can save some of your sales with redirection techniques.</p>
<p>What is not looking natural (and our affiliate links are definately not&#8230;) is looking suspicious. People don&#8217;t like to click on affiliate links and some of them make sure they access the site without using your affiliate link. They will not click on that scary link.</p>
<p>You will get more clicks on your redirected link (<span style="color: #800000">www.yoursite.com/youroffer/</span>) than on your affiliate link. I&#8217;m sure.</p>
<p><strong>Track your visitors &#8211; Increase your conversion rates</strong></p>
<p>If you are serious enough, you want to carefully monitor your visitors. You want to know where they are coming from, how they can find you, what keywords they are using etc.</p>
<p>Having your own website and a free <a href="http://www.google.com/analytics/">Google Analytics</a> account makes it easy to track your traffic. It will allow you to check which keywords are driving traffic and wich terms are causing your visitors to leave your site. It also helps you adjust your strategies to increase your conversion rates.</p>
<p><strong>Sell more affiliate products</strong></p>
<p>Almost forgot the best&#8230; Your site provides you a place where you can promote all of your affiliate products (within one or a few niches). Your visitors can also buy other products once they are on your site. (E.g. You can set up comparison pages and give your customers what they want. They will be more than happy <img src='http://fatbanker.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  )</p>
<p>If you have your own site, your possibilities are endless and you have complete control over your projects. (E.g. I like to build review pages for different products. This way, I can presell my visitors on a product before I redirect them to the sales page.)</p>
<p>It costs you less than $10 per month and you can host more than one (so called additional or addon) domain per account. Does anyone here earn huge amounts from affiliate programs without having a website?</p>
<p>If you would like to reduce your startup costs, you can <a href="http://fatbanker.com/jumpline-free-web-hosting/">host your site free for 3 months</a>. 3 months is enough to receive your first payments;)</p>

<p><a href="http://fatbanker.com/affiliate-business/">Affiliate marketing</a> can prove to be a very lucrative venture. Commissions can be as high as hundreds of dollars for just one sale.</p>
<p>What is an affiliate network you might ask. An affiliate network plays a middleman between the advertiser (also called merchants, vendors &#8211; companies or individuals with products and services to sell) and publisher (affiliates &#8211; who promote these products and services).</p>
<p>These networks may help you to easily find and participate in a program which is suitable for you. It provides things like tracking, payment processing, reporting etc.</p>
<p>Most affiliate networks allow anyone to sign up but some of them want you to have a website with <a href="http://fatbanker.com/start-with-your-own-domain/">your own domain</a>.</p>
<p>There are hundreds if not thousands of similar posts out there, I know. But here is the list of my favourite networks.</p>
<p><a href="http://fatbanker.com/go/cj.php" target="_blank"><strong>Commission Junction</strong></a><br />
<a href="http://fatbanker.com/go/cj.php" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-72" style="padding:10px 0;display:block;margin:auto" title="Commission Junction" src="http://fatbanker.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/cj.jpg" alt="Commission Junction" width="160" height="40" /></a><br />
Commonly referred as CJ short. It is an international network with great background. They offer thousands of premium affiliate products for sale. It is not the cheapest solution for merchants to use Commission Junction, so mostly large businesses tend to use their service.</p>
<p>The minimum payout is $50 by direct deposit (for certain countries) and $100 by check (for the rest of the world).</p>
<p><a href="http://fatbanker.com/go/shareasale.php" target="_blank"><strong>ShareASale</strong></a><br />
<a href="http://fatbanker.com/go/shareasale.php" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-73" title="Share A Sale" src="http://fatbanker.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/sas.jpg" alt="Share A Sale" width="160" height="37" style="display:block;margin:auto" /></a><br />
Shareasale is another great system to work with. It has around 2,700 programs and 2,000+ merchants. If you are new to the affiliate business be ready for some exploration work. It&#8217;s not because of you but there is a lot of information. Their commissions are competitive.</p>
<p>The minimum payout is $50 by direct deposit or check</p>
<p><a href="http://fatbanker.com/go/moreniche.php" target="_blank"><strong>MoreNiche</strong></a><br />
<a href="http://fatbanker.com/go/moreniche.php" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-74" title="MoreNiche" src="http://fatbanker.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/mn.jpg" alt="MoreNiche" width="160" height="52" style="display:block;margin:auto" /></a><br />
It sounds like this network has a lot of merchants but actually only has 15 programs you can promote. Then&#8230; what do I like about this program? Their products are easy to sell, their support is the best in the industry and the commissions are great. You can always learn from them! Get up to $45 bonus just to start with.</p>
<p>The minimum payout is $100 by direct deposit, PayPal or check.</p>
<p><a href="http://fatbanker.com/go/clickbank.php" target="_blank"><strong>ClickBank</strong></a><br />
<a href="http://fatbanker.com/go/clickbank.php" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-76" style="padding-bottom:5px;display:block;margin:auto" title="ClickBank" src="http://fatbanker.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/cb.jpg" alt="ClickBank" width="160" height="44" style="display:block;margin:auto" /></a><br />
It&#8217;s an other well-known network and maybe the most popular among beginners. Clickbank accept every new application, all you need is an email address <img src='http://fatbanker.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  It&#8217;s easy to use and pays bi-weekly.</p>
<p>It deals mainly with digital products. The minimum payout is $10 by check or direct deposit. Payments are sent on the Wednesday two weaks after period end.</p>
<p><a href="http://fatbanker.com/go/linkshare.php" target="_blank"><strong>LinkShare</strong></a><br />
<a href="http://fatbanker.com/go/linkshare.php" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-77" title="LinkShare" src="http://fatbanker.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/ls.jpg" alt="LinkShare" width="160" height="55" style="display:block;margin:auto" /></a><br />
It is one of the oldest affiliate networks on the web. With a large selection of brands to choose from you’ll be sure to find something that’s perfect for your website or blog. Finding products and services to promote is easy.</p>
<p>The minimum payout is $1 by direct deposit or check.</p>
<p>Keep in mind, all the above affiliate networks are middlemen between you (as an affiliate) and the merchant you&#8217;re promoting. You can try them out for free. It doesn&#8217;t require you to have your own business as you will be able to promote an exisiting (large) business.</p>
<p>If you are promoting more than one merchant, all your earnings are going into one account and you can reach the minimum payout faster. Beginners should try affiliate networks first.</p>
<p>Happy earning!</p>
