This online marathon within the project "Knowledge base site", just the same is intended for beginners, it will help you understand all the intricacies of this type of earnings on the Internet and build a stable monthly income of 20 thousand rubles.

Anyone who has been reading my blog for more than a month knows that I have been studying affiliate programs for a long time and share my experience. Recently I started a column in which I talk not only about how much I earned, but also what I did for this.

In just over 2 years, I built an income source on affiliate networks from scratch, which consistently brings in more than 150,000 rubles a month.

Today my task is to give you material that will help you understand what it is all about and figure out where to start in making money on affiliate programs.

But let's start with this, I want you to read at least the first half of the article. There I talked about the whole essence of the Internet, where the money comes from and who pays for everything. This will help you understand what the earnings in affiliate programs are based on.

How to make money on affiliate networks?

In three words, I can answer this question like this: you take any product or service with an affiliate program and advertise on the Internet, people buy him / her through your affiliate link, and you get your commission for each sale.

It seems that everything is simple, but this leads to such unresolved issues as:

Where to look for products and services with an affiliate program?
How to register in an affiliate program and where can I get a link?
How to work with affiliate systems?
What types of affiliates and commissions are there?
How and where to withdraw the earned money?
How to communicate with affiliate authors and get special conditions?
What is passive income built on?
Well, the main question is how to advertise? There are hundreds of answers to that.

Specifically, you can get answers to all these questions by completing the online marathon “Earning money on affiliate programs from scratch”. I could expand on this whole topic in a series of articles, but for you it would be confusing and not as effective as going through consecutive lessons and doing simple homework.

Not only knowledge is important to you, but also the result in your wallet? Right?

Who can earn on affiliate programs?

Many, many people - most of the users on the Internet do not know and do not want to know what affiliate programs are, and because of this they lose easy money that can be earned by absolutely everyone.

In addition, you yourself can earn on the affiliate program on your own purchases. How? Find the product you want to buy, register in an affiliate program, take an affiliate link and buy using it. This usually works in online stores and products participating in CPA networks. With services and various courses with large price tags, this rarely works. I'll tell you more about this at the marathon.

So, even an ordinary user can make money on affiliate programs. And if you work on the Internet, provide some services or build a business, then it’s generally stupid not to study this topic.

Where to start: free and paid

From the above, I think you already understand that you can start recommending something through affiliate links and you can earn money right now, without any investment.

Such earnings will simply be additional to your main activity.

But what if you are going to do it on a more serious level and create income of 20,000 rubles per month? In this case, it is worth considering 2 ways that contain different methods of promoting affiliate products.

The first way is free when you create your platforms that collect an audience and advertise affiliate products on them. For example: account and group in social networks, your website / blog, YouTube channel, e-mail newsletter, etc.

The second way is paid when you invest in advertising on other people's sites. For example: buying advertising posts in promoted public pages on social networks, Yandex Direct and other types of contextual advertising, buying advertising in top articles, banner advertising, etc.

The second method is more risky and may not always pay off, here you also need to be well versed in each individual method in order to make a profit, and not waste money.

Therefore, for beginners, I advise you to start with those free methods that I will now list.

The most effective:

Personal account on social networks (VKontakte, Instagram, Facebook, Odnoklassniki). The effectiveness also depends on the target audience of the product.
Group (public) in social networks.
Content site, forum, educational portal.
E-mail newsletter (mini-funnel of sales, automatic series of letters, affiliate traffic).

Less effective:

Services of bookmarks, newsletters and reviews (like Subscribe).

And what is most interesting, such a business can be run even without your own website! Of course, its presence significantly expands the user's capabilities, but today it is quite possible to cope without it.

How do affiliate programs work?

The principle of the affiliate program is extremely simple. For example, there is a site that sells books, by entering into an agreement with the owner of which you agree to attract buyers in exchange for a percentage of the profits from their purchases. Your profit will depend on the activity of your attracted buyers.

Earnings on affiliate programs: myths and reality

Quite often there is an opinion that making money on affiliate programs is not realistic! Many either do not believe that the method can be profitable, or, having tried it and not getting a result, they soon abandon what they started halfway through.

Most people just don't know how to make money from affiliate programs, so they need a good guide to the world of internet business.

Indeed, this type of earnings has its own nuances. But desired result will, you just need to spend time (as if you went to work in the office every day) your time, and not in vain, but for the benefit of the business, and then you will receive a positive result in the form of profit.

Practice shows that it is participation in affiliate programs that can bring good income literally in the first days of work!

How can you make money on affiliate programs and what needs to be done for this?

The working conditions on different affiliate networks differ, but the scheme is approximately the same:

Registration in the affiliate program you are interested in;
Securing a banner or a special (referral) link for you;
Placing a link / banner wherever possible to attract people. If you have a website (or a home page), you can place an advertising banner, as well as write a short article using the main tags that will allow your site to reach a sufficient position in the search engine results;
People who are interested in the offer follow your personal referral link, purchase a product or order a service, for this the affiliate program pays a certain percentage agreed upon earlier;
Buyers can also start earning through this program. To do this, they need to register in the affiliate program, having entered the site using your referral link. The proceeds from their sales will also bring you profit. However, not all affiliate programs have a two-tier referral system that allows you to have passive income.

Types of affiliate programs

Affiliate programs with a percentage for sales;
We have already considered this example above. This method is usually used by online stores. You get commission for the attracted client who bought the product using the referral link;
Affiliate programs with payment for the action performed by the client;
An action means a certain condition (applying for a loan, registering, subscribing to a newsletter, passing a test), which is performed by the attracted person, and for this you are charged a commission;
Affiliate programs, in which participation is charged for clicks or impressions;
In this case, your profit will depend on impressions or ad clicks.
Affiliate programs with commissions for sent from cell phone SMS;
If a person who went to the site using your referral link sends SMS to receive the necessary information or to pay for the goods, you will receive a commission for this. Important: You can only earn money on affiliate programs by advertising someone else's product!
Downloading files is also an affiliate program, and the profit is accrued for downloading files.

For example, you upload your file to the LetitBit file hosting service and for downloading it by a visitor you will receive your 10 cents, for example. You can distribute information about the file and the ability to download it from a specific link.

It is very convenient if you have a thematic site that has become very popular with users. You can write posts and insert links into the text for easy navigation.

ZipPro. Any interesting files (videos, photos, books, etc.) that can interest the audience will allow you to earn quite substantial sums. First you need to register on the ZipPro website, download the software for the files and create an archive. Next, you need to advertise it on the Internet.

Users will download the file, and to open it and receive full access you will need to send SMS messages, the cost of which you set yourself (in the range from 30 to 300 rubles). At the same time, most of the profit - at least 80% of the income will go to you.

Examples of really working affiliate programs

It is important to understand that affiliate programs for making money are quite relevant and bring their owners a good profit. However, you can also earn good money by providing search for clients sitting at the computer.

More and more readers of our blog are interested in the possibility of making money on affiliate programs without having their own website. This question is very relevant, since he is of interest to many people who want to start working on the Internet.

We have already talked about where to find. Today we will tell you about 6 proven promotion methods used by many Internet entrepreneurs to make money on affiliate programs.

1. Social media - the first step to the first results

Social networks are visited by thousands of people every day, which makes it possible to promote various affiliate programs and regularly earn money on this. We will describe 4 proven methods used specifically on social media.

1.1 Postings in open groups.

This is perhaps the most common way to promote your referral link without attachments. The principle of operation is very simple:

write several versions of the selling and catchy text in advance;
insert your affiliate link into each of them;
find groups on social networks where the wall or discussion is open to everyone;
insert your text with an affiliate program.

Beware of account blocking, working through vk.com, use fake pages for postings.

There are plenty of open groups on Odnoklassniki, Vkontakte, Facebook and other social networks, so the front of work is quite voluminous. However, doing these manually can take too much of your time. Come to the rescue automatic programs performing all these actions for you. In our course on making money on social networks, we talked about the many methods of automatic and manual promotion. Each of them has been tested and will help you achieve the desired result.

1.2 Selling through your group.

Creating your own group will only take a couple of minutes. Your main task is to constantly attract new subscribers and supply them useful information... When the number of live participants reaches at least 1000 people, you can already post your links and recommend partner goods or services to everyone. Developing a group is much easier than developing a website, so you shouldn't have any special difficulties here.

1.3 Direct sales.

You will be surprised, but direct sales through correspondence without communication by phone or skype can pay off well. One of our team members at the very beginning of his activity using this method earned 20-50 dollars a day! Agree that this is quite a good intermediate result for a beginner.

How do direct sales through correspondence on the Internet happen?

You start or buy yourself new page... The page must be FEMALE! As practice shows, beautiful girls answer much more often. Potential customers pay attention to such pages and perceive such requests better, which makes it possible to make a sale faster and more profitably. Be sure to add as many photos as possible, join thematic communities and start looking for potential buyers in them.

For example, if you sell services of the "Look Freedom" team for the promotion or creation of sites, then your target audience here is commercial groups. These are online stores selling clothes, shoes, accessories, household appliances, computers, etc. You just contact the administrator and gently offer to use your services. It may seem too banal or simple to you, but many have managed to create a good business in this way.

An example from life.

For example, let's tell a story about a freelancer. One of our acquaintances, having hardly learned the basics of site building, decided to try his hand at practice. On remote work sites, he was looking for an opportunity to prove himself for a very long time, but he could not find a suitable project. Later he followed our advice and started looking for customers directly through social networks.

The operating principle was very simple. He created a page on behalf of an attractive girl and started browsing commercial groups. He did not immediately offer his services. First, I asked questions, found out on which sites the advertisement of this company is placed, how the delivery takes place, payment, and so on. And when the conversation at least partially touched the site, he wrote that he had a very good friend who could perfectly help with development.

Because he communicated on behalf of a beautiful and attractive girl, the administrators believed him and asked to leave the programmer's contacts. In response to this, he reset his real page and continued communication already as a performer.

The best part is that this method can be used to sell just about any product or service.

There are many similar examples. The main thing is to understand that in 30 minutes spent on Vkontakte, you will not immediately receive mountains of gold. It is necessary to regularly devote time to such a technique, and then the first results will not be long in coming.

1.4 Social media advertising.

Unlike the options described above, you will have to invest money here. The most correct decision in this situation would be to advertise your group, because it is more profitable to try to promote several affiliate programs at once than to spend your time and money on just one. Fill it with useful content, photos and videos and you can start creating an advertising campaign.

There are two most quick ways promote on social networks:

contextual advertising;
advertising in thematic publics.

This is very effective method attracting targeted traffic, because people see your ad all the time, which increases the chance of clicking on it. In the future, we will tell you about the main principles of such a promotion, but for now let's move on to the next point.

Ads in thematic groups are most often placed on the community wall. The customer pays for the placement of one or more posts for a certain period of time. This method is also very effective, but there are some rules to follow to ensure that your ad budget is not wasted:

check how active this group is... See how often news is posted on it or new information, how often it is shared with friends or commented on. The more active the group is, the more likely it is to attract high-quality traffic;
find out the number of "dead participants" via a dedicated app. This will help to identify the percentage of blocked or deleted users who do not take any part in the life of the community;
find out prices in other thematic publics and form an approximate ad budget for your topic. By analyzing the market, you can find not only a better offer, but also a more effective one.

2. Postings on thematic forums and blogs.

Immediately, we note that you should not take our advice for a call to SPAM. Accurate and competent work on forums or thematic blogs will also attract target audience... You should not immediately post your referral links or flashy text with a call to go to the site. Such methods are outdated for a long time, they annoy users and attract a lot of attention of moderators. Share your impressions of the product or service you are promoting, ask the opinion of other visitors, etc.

How much time do you spend on the forums? Your ranking is your key to success. Users are much more likely to trust more high-profile consultants than beginners. Non-intrusive advertising will create more trust and people will reach out to you.

3. Contextual advertising in Yandex and Google.

Not the cheapest, but one of the most effective ways to drive targeted traffic straight from search engines. For each click, money will be withdrawn from your account, so it is worth considering some peculiarities when using this method:

conversion of an affiliate site. When choosing a product or service, be sure to find out about its conversion, i.e. what is the ratio of purchases made to visits... How to count it and what will it mean? Everything is very simple. For example, 250 people followed your link per day, and there are only 9 closed deals. Then the conversion will be 3.6%: (9/250) * 100% = 3.6%. In many directories of affiliate programs, the conversion of the site is indicated, because this is the most important of the indicators characterizing the effectiveness of its work. A satisfactory value of a good conversion is 10%, including when setting up contextual advertising. However, with different ways promotion (for example, with mass mailing of letters), you can earn good money even at 3-7%. It is from this point that the calculation of the relevance of setting up contextual advertising and investing money in its budget is taken;
payback, i.e. how much 1 deal pays for the budget spent on it. For example, to make a sale, your site must be visited 50 times. 1 transition (1 click) costs 10 cents. 50 clicks - $ 5, and the cost of an information product or service will cost $ 10-50. In this case, you can recoup the advertising budget several times;
correct setting. A well-tuned ad campaign lowers cost per click and helps increase conversions.

The budget here can also be taken for the number of impressions, however this way ineffective in promoting affiliate programs.

If you do not know how to set up contextual advertising, then contact a specialist of our team for help or you can try to do it yourself. The information on our website and a large number of lessons on the Internet will help you figure everything out.

Many people on the Internet, whose number is growing in thousands, or even hundreds of thousands a day, are trying to find methods of how to make money on the Internet without investing their own funds and without knowledge in one area or another.
