I think we can all agree that starting an affiliate business is one of the easiest ways to begin making money online. Simply put, affiliate marketing is a relationship between a merchant who offers their products and services and an affiliate who agrees to promote them.

The affiliate’s main task is to promote those products and services and in turn receives a commission when a sale is completed. Whenever a buyer is referred to the merchant’s site via the efforts of the affiliate, and makes a purchase, the affiliate gets a percentage of the sale amount. No payments are made to the affiliate until the sale is completed. The three most common ways an affiliate is paid is PPS (pay-per-sale), PPC (pay-per-click) and PPL (pay-per-lead).

I’m sure many of you have heard the phrase “multiple income streams” but what does it mean? Many business people create multiple income streams both offline and online as a way to make themselves and their businesses more secure. Today’s business people feel that having multiple streams of income can possibly save them from the “famine-effect’ of the industry.

If you choose to involve yourself as an affiliate marketer, it is recommended that you have multiple income streams. In the event that one of your income streams stops producing, you can still produce income from one of your other streams. If you ask any successful online marketer, you will find that they all have established multiple streams of income.

The concept behind InstantPlugNPay.com is really very simple. It was developed by Craig Haywood (or the blue guy) who is also the owner of highly successful sites like TrackThatAd.com, MyViralPopAds.com, ExitLightBox.com and MyViralSurfer.com

From the above sites you can probably deduct that Craig focuses heavily on Viral Marketing which is good when you consider what he’s done with InstantPlugNPay.com

A quick summary of the IPP homepage reveals that IPP is a resell rights product website which integrates with mlm through viral marketing, but that doesn’t even begin to lift the layers of nice goodies. In Fact, Jane Mark from JPEAdvertising.com describes it better…

Why I Love Affiliate Marketing – Part 5
By Jimmy D. Brown of “Affiliatenaire”

The word “overhead” is not a favorite among those who run businesses of any kind. Nobody likes the expenses of operating a business. And nobody really talks about them much when it comes to promoting all of the “money-making” products and services online.

But, don’t kid yourself, there’s a lot of overhead.

That brings me to the fifth reason why I love affiliate

I’m sure by now you are well aware that there are those who have reported HUGE amounts of money being made with their online businesses.  What you may not be aware of is the amount of work involved in generating those “sales” (not always net profit, mind you … this isn’t “spendable” income in a lot of cases.)

That brings me to the fourth reason why I love affiliate marketing…

Why I Love Affiliate Marketing – Part 3
By Jimmy D. Brown of “Affiliatenaire”

Some people have the ability to persuade others and talk them into just about anything. Especially when it comes to influencing their buying decisions. They know how to push the right hot buttons, say things the right way and generally get consumers into an emotional frenzy to the point they are ready to click an order button.

There are two key words in that paragraph that really need to stand out in your mind: “some people”.

Not everyone has this ability. In fact, only a few do.

Pop quiz time. What does “HTML” stand for? Don’t know that one? How about this – what does “FTP” stand for? OK, one more chance. Do you know how to work with either?

Why I Love Affiliate Marketing – Part 1
By Jimmy D. Brown of “Affiliatenaire”

Do you find yourself “starting” to create your own product to sell online, but never “finishing” it?

One of the things I love about affiliate marketing is –

** You don’t need to create your own products **

Many people find the idea of creating their own products to be an overwhelming and even paralyzing task.

* I don’t have any good ideas!
* I’m not a writer!
* There’s too much competition!
* I don’t know how to set everything up!
* I can’t figure out where to start!
* It’s too hard!
