Scenario Two: Some money and no/lots of time

Setting up Pay Per Click campaigns could be a quick way to earn a few bucks. But there is also a big danger of quickly losing money if you don't know the tricks of the trade. Using Google Adwords to promote Affiliate products might be the best way to generate sales, but here are some of the common problems that newbies face. Why aren't my Ads appearing on the first page of the search results?, why is Google charging me so much for one click?, why do I have so many people clicking my Ads but not buying the product? Before you start working on these campaigns, you have to do a lot of research to know what you are doing will be giving you the best results. For best results, I recommend two things, one join, Wealthy Affiliate or buy Beating Google Adwords. The reason I recommend these programs is that these campaigns are very much like Credit Scores, so not having started a campaign is much better than being in a disastrous campaign because Google lowers your quality score and in the process charges you more per click than your competitors.

Another method to promote your Affiliate products is by having your own website and using your website to promote the products. But now comes the golden question, 'How do I drive traffic to my website?' You can write your own articles, outsource or hire ghost writers to produce content on the website. A cool tip would be advertise for writers in Craig's list because you can get a lot of people writing articles for you at a low cost and more importantly you get free publicity and traffic to your website. However you should be careful not to go about spamming for eventually your posting will be flagged or even deleted. Other ways of promoting Affiliate products is by writing reviews in Squidoo, Hubpages and usfreeads.

There are other threads of Affiliate Marketing by developing sales letters, posting videos, creating e-books, creating Squeeze pages with in-built opt in mailing lists and other powerful viral marketing techniques that enable you to reach a wider number of people. Having said that focusing on all these threads at one time is not the right way to go about Affiliate Marketing unless you are a pro and know what you are doing. First make sure that you have a very strong foundation before you start thinking of building a beautiful palace. So start working on your first doctorate thread in Affiliate Marketing and don't rest till you have mastered it. Remember, one thing at a time and that done well, is a very good rule as many can tell.
