This Man earned $1,000,000 in his Second Year of affiliate marketing

by Frann Lane

When people first start an online business, they are generally looking for a way to make money as quickly as possible. Whether or not they realise that most businesses fold within two years, they believe that it's possible to "get rich quick" using the internet.

While there are some unscrupulous purveyors of the "You can make money overnight without lifting a finger - just pay masses of cash for my failproof system" type, most gurus spend a lot of their time trying to talk newbies out of this idea, in favour of the step by step approach. It's become received wisdom that you can't expect to be making a profit online in less than 2 years, because it takes that long to get to grips with all the different factors that go to make up a web business.

But Jeremy Palmer is proof that you don't have to be online for years before you start making a decent living. Read that headline again: he made $1,000,000 in his SECOND year.

In his first year, he "only" made $100,000.

Wow!

Jeremy Palmer is probably not a name you've heard before. I certainly haven't, and I am aware of most of the stars in the internet marketing firmament. He's only 27, and up to now has been concentrating on his affiliate business. He isn't the type you sometimes come across, who starts trying to make a living online by selling guides to internet marketing before he's ever done any himself. No, this isn't what he's about at all. He started marketing to consumers, learned as he went along, refined his system, and only then wrote the ebook and marketed it.

He seems to have almost fallen into affiliate marketing by chance, while working for a financial services company. He noticed that some of the company's affiliates were making decent amounts, and decided to try a few affiliations of his own.

Within 6 months, he was making more than twice his salary, so he quit his job and went full time.

Well, I freely confess that I'm definitely not in his league, despite the fact that I've probably been online as long as he has, maybe a bit longer. But my way of looking at it is, the boy done good. Now, what can I learn from him?

In his recently published ebook, Jeremy reveals his techniques step by step, and shows how anyone can make money from affiliate programs.

For a start, he is selective in his choice of programs to promote, and the specific products promoted by each merchant.

And he is careful to comply with each program's provisions. There's little point in getting good sales if you fall foul of the terms and conditions and end up losing your commission.

He spends time on keyword research, and builds effective sales pages that produce high click through rates. This is backed up by thorough testing and record keeping, with reference to the results produced by each change.

He doesn't waste money on expensive tools and software, using free services when he can.

In the 140 no-nonsense pages of his indispensable guide to affiliate marketing, he gives all the information you need to do the same.
