The most asked question by all newbie online business people, ( ie bloggers, web page owners ect.) is HOW DO I ACTUALLY make money through my site?
Well the answer is fairly simple. Although simple in terms of reality for some of us (myself included) can be a daunting task. So i have decided to attempt to explain a little about how simple affiliate marketing is, as well as to explain a little bit about how it works as well.
Affiliate Programs & Profits.
The best part about affiliate marketing is:
1) You don't need your own website or blog
2) You don't need your own product.
3) You don't need ANY money to start.
Let me explain the 3 points above a little more in depth for you.
1) you don't need your own website or blog.
- to be an affiliate marketer you do not need a web page or a blog to be able to promote other peoples products. All you have to do is join a affiliate marketing site, and begin to promote their products via email, forums, discussion groups, article publishing sites. There are so many ways to promote affiliate products that don't cost you any money, nor do you have to own your own website or blog and have the hassle of looking after them.
2) you don't need your own product.
- the best part about affiliate marketing is that you don't have to create a product or write an e-book or anything like that, all good affiliate sites have loads of products that you can pick and choose from, and promote in so many ways.
- the way most affiliate sites work, is that you sign up to become an affiliate, then you choose the product(s) that you would like to promote, then the affiliate site will give you a special link for you to use in your chosen method of promoting. This link is what the affliate site uses to ensure that you get credit (paid) for anyone who clicks on the link that you placed in your promotion article, e-mail, forum, discussion group, And makes a purchase.
3) Don't need any money to start.
- with affiliate marketing you can start to market affiliate products without spending any money. There are so many FREE affiliate marketing sites out there that you can join for free and MOST of them are LEGIT.
My Favorite 3 are:
1) http://www.cj.com/
2) http://www.linkshare.com/
3) http://www.clickbank.com/
For Commission Junction, log into their site and click on " Be a publisher" and follow the sign up procedure.
For Link Share and ClickBank, log into their site and click on become an affiliate, and follow the sign-up procedure.
The best part about these sites is that they are 100% free to join, and they have tons of products and things to promote that can pay you as high as 75% commission.
Now you are wondering how does one go about promoting these products without spending any money. Well the answer to that is simple.
- you have to be careful with e-mails, because unless you are absolutely sure the person receiving the e-mail wants to know about the product you are promoting, then you are spamming, and all affiliate marketing sites will cancel your account with them if you spam. So make sure before you send an e-mail that you know that the person wants what you are going to be sending them.
- another way is through forums. Search out different forums that deal with the product that you are promoting and join them. When you post to the forum, talk about the product that you are promoting and post your link for interested parties to click on to get more info. These forums for the most part are free to join as well.
- Another effective way to promote your affiliate products is to write and post articles on article directories. When you write and article about the product you are promoting you can also include your link in the article, and get traffic to your link that way. There are also tons of free article directories out there, that get allot of traffic to them.
a few of them are:
1) http://www.ezinearticles.com/
2) http://www.goarticles.net/
3) http://www.ladypens.com/
4) http://www.hubpages.com/
That's just a few that i know of, and some that i use as well. So there you have it. I hope this helps you out, whether you are just starting out, or if you have been trying for awhile and have not been to successful.

Where have i been?
Hello
It has been awhile since i have posted here on my blog. And i apologize for that. I have been really busy lately doing some school upgrading.
For the past few weeks i have been attending school, updating all of my safety certificates, like my first aid, H2S Alive, confined space, transportation of dangerous goods, as well as i had to go renew 6 of my weld cetifications for my cwb and my api certification. Now all of these courses cost between $150- 500 each, so i was not a happy camper to recieve word once i had completed them, and reported for for work that the job i was to be working on was placed on hold for now. The only saving grace is that now i am up to date with my cetification, and i will not have to retake any of these courses for 2- 3 years.
Anyways thats what i have been up to lately. I guess what i am really getting at is that my experience with a J.O.B. here lately is just another reason for me to try to get my online income going, and get some serious income coming in, so that i don't have to rely on an unpredictable job for my living.
so i would once again like to invite you to check out my website to find out more about me and what i am upto and am working on. Here is the link again, http://www.whoisdwaynequist.com/

Make money the easy way
I have been out and about doing the family thing with my kids for the past few days. We are all getting in the christmas spirit, or at least trying to. I know that this time of year is one of the hardest on families, especialy if you are out of work (like i am), and the money is tight. But its not everything to have alot of money and give big expensive gifts. I know that this year my 9 year old son and i are having alot of fun, and alot of father/son bonding time together as him and i spend time in my woodworking shop building gifts for his two little sisters.
I have actualy been totaly amazed at how fulfiling it is as a dad, to be working with my son out of nessesity. I have been thinking of how much i would have missed out on (and my son as well) if we had alot of money this christmas. If money was not tight this year, we would have done like we always have. We would have given all 3 kids thier christmas gift money and let them purchase the gifts.
But this year things are different. Money is tight, so we are making our gifts. As we are doing this i keep thinking to myself, WOW i never really thought before about how much i have as a Dad, to teach my son. He has spent a little time with me in the woodworking shop in the past, but this year he is learning how to use all of the tools so that he can build the gifts on his own. It is the most awesome feeling to know that i (as dad) am teaching my son some very important lessons, that he will one day teach to his son.
One thing i found the other day was. I was talking to my nieghbor and he told me about a website that he uses to generate a small income online, he said that if you are serious and put the work into it, that you could make a fairly good income doing it.
The site is called http://www.payzeno.com/ Now how this works is that you sign up(for free) with an affiliate account with them. You must also have a paypal account http://www.paypal.com/ this is also a free account. Once you have signed up for your free payzeno account, you can access thier list of affiliate templates. These affiliate templates give you a special affiliate link so that when a sale is made, payzeno knows who to pay the commission to.
These affiliate links can be posted on blogs, forums, if you have a website ect.
I thought that this might interest you readers, as it could be away of making a few extra dollars without having to spend ANY money.
To find how easy this is, go to to the link here, www.payzeno.com/a/dequist/23
To learn more about what i have been up to lately got to my website. I have done some more work on it, and added a few more things that you might be interested in. http://www.whoisdwaynequist.com/
I will keep you all posted on any new ideas i find or hear about that i think may be of interest to you.
