Starting A Home Based Business - Part 4
You have your domain name and web hosting plan set up.
You have a general idea of how your home based business website is going to look.
Now you need to decide which affiliate programs you are going to promote.
I am currently with Commission Junction, Google Adsense, Clickbank, Amazon Affiliate Program and Strong Future International.
These are the affiliate companies that send me checks every month.
There are other programs that I am affiliated with but they only provide me with other incentives not the cash type so I will not mention them in this article.
I only wanted to point out the companies that are really sending me checks.
Commission Junction- CJ has approximately 2300 different companies they are paying small and large commissions to people who are promoting their products.
It does not necessarily have to be about the home based business industry.
You can promote whatever products are relevant to your website.
Most importantly people do not have to buy anything in order for you to make a commission.
Some companies will pay you just for having the customer sign a simple form or enter an email address.
They consider this a lead and they are willing to pay for it.
I highly recommend commission junction and I would sign up with them immediately if you are wanting to some extra money.
(It's free to join).
Google Adsense- You will get paid for showing relevant ads on your website.
The neat thing about Google AdSense is that all you need to do is set up an account, choose which ad type you are wanting to use and copy and paste some code on your website.
They will have you up and running in the matter of minutes.
Then every time someone visits your website and clicks on one of the ads you get paid for it and believe me when I say it can ad up.
The more traffic you have coming in the more money you will make.
(It's free to join) Clickbank- They're one of the biggest affiliate companies out there but their methods are a little bit different.
Unlike Commission Junction and Google AdSense you will not be copying and pasting code instead you will have links with you assigned affiliate id built right in.
You can promote thousands of different products and services but you will not get paid by people signing up or clicking on the links.
You will only get paid if someone buys a product or service but the commissions are much higher.
Sometimes you will make ten dollars a sale and sometime much, much more.
I am currently promoting about 30 different products and it is gradually picking up but remember the more you promote then the higher you conversion ratio will get.
(It's free to join.
) Amazon- What can I say about Amazon? They have millions of products to promote and you will make a commission from ever sale made through your affiliate links on your website.
You can promote anything and customize your links or banners to the way your website looks.
Change the products weekly, monthly or just have specials.
Your options are endless with Amazon.
It's free as well.
SFI (Strong Future International)- Here is another affiliate program I fell in love with.
It is so easy to promote.
All you have to do is get people to sign up under you and teach them to duplicate what you are doing.
You can go 7 levels deep in your power line plus you will get paid off others that join SFI that are not personally enrolled by you.
There are 3 ways to get paid through SFI.
You have Executive Matches, Executive Bonuses and Team Matches.
Note that literally THOUSANDS of people from all over the world are joining SFI every week.
Hence, you can profit from the sales of every affiliate in the world who joins SFI from this day forward.
It's also free.
These are five different affiliate programs I am currently involved with.
They are all free to join and you can start promoting them immediately.
Please visit my website for links to these programs.
If you have any additional question about these companies please do not hesitate to contact me.
This is part of many articles to come in regards to Starting a Home Based Business so please be looking for future articles when I will be writing about " How To Get Some Free Website Traffic".
That is the next step that needs to be taken after you get your affiliate links set up on your website.
