How to get paid online for recommending cool stuff you use anyway!

Lots of business owners who are just finding their way online don’t understand Affiliate Marketing at all and are missing out on some great streams of income.

If you want to tap into these rich veins of income first of all you need to tget clear on your niche (unless you want to work in multiple niches.)

Once you’re clear on your niche or niches take a look at which products, courses or tools can be helpful to you.

Let’s say you are an author and want to build a big following online.

You have a book you want to promote so you’re getting started with that and it’s all cool.

How about if you could add in some extra income streams so that while your book picks up momentum and you master your craft you are not dependent solely on your book income?

My publisher teaches the concept of becoming a wealthy author and it’s completely in line with being a niche expert.

Unless you have an immediate best seller on your hands the chances are you’ll need to find other ways to create income as making big money with books can be tough.

So back to choosing some complimentary affiliate programmes you can promote.

In the author’s case you would be advised to learn all about internet marketing so there are many courses and books you can promote.

The best way to find them is to do a search for specific things you want to learn and seriously consider taking some good courses so that you get the skills to market successfully online.

As you develop your skills you can promote the courses and books that you yourself are taking or reading.

It’s very easy and all you need to do is mention the courses in your blog posts or articles and include your affiliate link so that interested readers can purchase the course too.

EBooks give a much higher affiliate return than paperbacks so consider researching some eBooks on topics that are of interest to you and then you rinse and repeat.

By using and sharing courses and books you can pay for your education but also make some extra money if you choose good ones with high commissions.

I prefer 50% or more commission programmes and I favour those that are available all year round so that your blog posts and website reviews can be working for you 365 days and 24/7 while you sleep.

Tools are another good area to promote as an affiliate. With internet and social media marketing there are tons of tools so just pick your favourites.

One of my favourites is Tribe Pro which enables me to have other business professionals syndicate my blog posts to the social bookmarking sites on auto-pilot!

It’s amazing because submitting your own posts to social bookmarking sites can be extremely tiresome and I found I just wasn’t getting round to doing it.

Do you see how in this real life example I can recommend a tool and also give value to my reader?

It’s that simple so once you’ve set up your blog begin looking for courses, books and tools that you can recommend in your niche and before long you’ll have some nice flowing income streams.
