How to Make Money with Affiliates Using Freebies
by George Cain
I first saw this affiliate technique when I was recently purchasing an
electronic product on the internet and found the concept interesting. I had
to do some digging to figure out how the person offering the freebies was
making money, but I finally figured it out. Here is the main concept:
You MUST create a freebie which depends on an affiliate service to
operate correctly.
How does this work in practice? Let me give you an example. Let's say
that I create a website that can be used to make money. I could sell the web
pages bundled into a suite of electronic products and try to sell my web
pages via Clickbank. This might work, but competition might also be an
issue.
Alternatively, I could find a web hosting affiliate program which pays
for new websites. This way I can give my web pages away to anyone who
purchases a website. I earn money from the web hosting company and the
purchaser gets a new web site and web pages for free. There are some things
to consider when choosing a web hosting affiliate program:
> The start-up costs should be low.
> If you are going to set-up the site for your customers, make sure that
when your customer shares their login information, this does not violate any
web hosting rules.
> Know if a customer must maintain a site for a duration of time before
you get your affiliate payout. > Quick turn around for setting up a domain
(if needed). > Customer support options and quality.
> Website maintainability (your customers may not be internet savvy, so
make sure that if they want to make changes they can.)
> Last, but certainly not least, make sure that the affiliate payout is
GREAT! This going to be your income for the referral, get as much as you
can.
I have seen this technique applied into two areas thus far, Adsense
Article and Clickbank Review websites. I will discuss how to create your own
money making Adsense Article and/or Clickbank Review websites in another
article.
