How To Join An Affiliate Program And Start Making Money Today

There is no better feeling than getting paid to sit at your computer and promote other people's products. Less than two years ago this concept blew me away... I had never heard of an affiliate program but now I finally get it.

If you're trying to figure out how to join an affiliate program...it's usually very simple. To join an affiliate program you can go to just about any website (Walmart, Best Buy, Bass Pro, etc.) that sells products online and look for the words affiliates or affiliate programs or something along those lines. You can almost always find the affiliate program at the very bottom of your screen on the home page.

Once you sign up for that company as an affiliate you will be given a link to promote their products. The link you are given will have a number or code that directly links it to your program account... this way EVERY TIME someone uses your link to make a purchase YOU GET PAID.
Where do we put our links?

There are tons of free article or ad sights that will allow you to post your ad through them. These sites will take a look at your ad or article and when they accept it...it gets posted online. At this point you are officially an internet marketer.

If it's that easy why is everyone not in on this?

That's a great question.

The truth is anyone can join an affiliate program...and anyone can write an article trying to sell a product. But the trick to being successful with internet marketing is to find a STARVING CROWD.
Let's think about it. If there's a group of people stranded in the hot desert, how hard is going to be for you to sell them a few bottles of water?

So where do we find these "starving crowds"?

I am going to let you in on a few secret characteristics that will let you know how starving your crowd is and help guarantee success:

1. MIND SHARE
How many times a day does a person in this niche think about___________.

2. EMOTIONAL TEMPERATE
What we want to do is gauge how strongly a person feels about _____________.

3. THEIR DISPOSITION
Why wouldn't __________niche buy _______?

You are helping these people solve their problems by offering them a product with a solution or at least a helping hand. These tips above are a few of the most important questions you can ask yourself when looking for a starving crowd.

So before you run off and join just any affiliate program... take the time to ask yourself "do I have a starving crowd".
