Guest Blog Post by: Work From Home Moncton

Not every one has a product to sell online. I am one of those work from home online marketers who has no products of their own but I don’t mind at all because it doesn’t mean I don’t have products to promote and sell.

It’s great to have an opportunity to sell other people’s products as it means I can go into a whole lot more niches as I can join affiliate networks and promote other people’s products. All I have to do is learn about them and promote them on my blogs.

Affiliate Products To Promote

Today you’ll find affiliate marketing has limitless potential as there are so many products and services one can choose from. Selling affiliate products all day long for the rest of your life and you’d still never come close to selling all the products available.

One of my favourite niches is the home gardening niche as it’s a great way to save money and if you choose to blog about it you have a way to make money blogging. The garden niche is so big that it has many sub niches meaning you will find unlimited products to promote and sell.

Digital Affiliate Products

I use the Clickbank marketplace to find and promote gardening related digital products called ebooks, which are books in digital form so you can read them on your laptop, computer or ipad or Kindle.

You will find other affiliate programs for digital products other than just at Clickbank. You might want to look at PayDotCom.com and eJunkie.com too.

You need to learn all you can about affiliate marketing and Clickbank is the place to look. It was there that I found the Super Affiliate Handbook by Rosalind Gardner and my online business life started making money. Rosalind Gardner is the go to person for all things affiliate marketing.

Non Digital Affiliate Products

Of course all products are not digital so I went looking for other affiliate networks that have physical products I can promote.

There are so many affiliate networks I have joined but my top sales come from just a few I have listed below:

Commission Junction, LinkShare Affiliate and ShareASale Network

Those are just a few affiliate networks I use and they carry a lot more than just garden related affiliate programs. I use a lot of the same affiliate networks for my other niches like fishing and acoustic guitar.

I really doesn’t matter what you niche is there will be an affiliate program you could make money with, unless you pick a niche that is so out there that there is little to choose from but for the normal things there are often multiple programs to choose from.

Just as a reminder, it took Rosalind’s Super Affiliate Handbook to get me on the right path to making money with affiliate marketing on my blogs.

CPA or pay per lead affiliate programs are those that offer you to make money online for getting potential customers’ contact information. The information could be as easy as a zip-code or e-mail or may be more detailed and include private information like a Social Security ID.

Over the last 6 months, there was a rising number of pay per lead programs competing for the eye of web designers. The obvious advantage that PPL programs offer is that visitors to your internet site do not have to make any sort of purchase for you to be able to make some money. Although shopping on the internet is starting to become more and more normal, it’s still, and will often always be, easier to give something away then to sell something.

There are many pay per lead affiliate marketing programmes available to you but one of the hottest is Commission Junction. This company has grown to turned into one of the largest affiliate marketing programme networks, with over 1700 merchants and growing each day. There are two reasons that Commission Junction has managed to grow so speedily. First, it offers very competitive pricing for their merchants. 2nd, it continuously improves its own affiliate marketing programme to provide more benefits to affiliates.

Commission Junction also offers a variety of other benefits to affiliates. Unlike almost all other affiliate networks, commissions earned from all merchants are pooled together in one check, and you are paid monthly by CJ without delay ( not by the merchant ). This way, if you join many various offers wthin the program and each of them earn you a bit of money, you’ll get paid the sum of all these. With plenty of other affiliate networks, you would get paid nothing until you reach the standard minimum check sizes they set ( typically $25-100 per merchant ).

Commission Junction also offers a large choice of affiliate marketing programmes that you can promote on your site. This is because they have attracted smaller merchants than some of the other pay per lead affiliate programs. Some of these smaller merchants offer highly targeted products which target a very narrow niche. This. Of course, is really handy if your website is also very targeted, as it makes it more probable that you will find a merchant that’s acceptable for your audience. Programs in CJ also range across all sorts of affiliate commission models besides pay per lead, including PPC and pay per sale.
