Yes, I also think affiliate marketing is the best way to earn online. I am planing to create my own blog soon and affiliate marketing is one of my way to monetize it. I am still on the process of planning and learning how to be successful in this area. One of my problems is that I suck at writing long articles and maybe I need to improve this thing first. Thanks for sharing

In short, what stuff or services you will need to start this method and earn money?

A Blog/Website
Little HTML and CSS knowledge
Attractive English Writing Skills
A Short Report/eBook

And that’s it. May be you’ll be introduced to all the above things, or may be some of them are new for you. Don’t worry, I’ll teach you everything, so no need to worry to search on Google.

Before I start explaining the method with you, let me tell the meaning of the requirements, if you are a beginner. I don’t want to make it understandable for pros only, but the real thing is to explain the whole matter to a starter guy to help him making money.

A Blog/Website: If you are a blogger, then you must be knowing meaning of this.

What is HTML and CSS: HTML and CSS are languages to create and stylize your webpage as you wish with special effects. You will need basic knowledge of it because you will have to make your design attractive, and catchy, highlighting the call to actions etc.

An Email Autoresponder: A service that sends email automatically after one subscribes to your blog and lets you set email courses for specified time. Eg: You want to send 1 email to subscriber for the first 10 days after he subscribes, this service providers let you do it.

I have tried affiliate marketing but had no success. It is a hard field but not impossible. I agree that you have got to have a good product available but I wanted to add another thing. When you work as an affiliate, you want to make sure your associates deliver the promised products. Bad business ethics can affect your market and give you a bad name. A rule of thumb is to purchase and try the product first so that you can find out if it’s a reputable deal or not. Better safe than sorry.

Most of the bloggers who have their own website prefer to be an affiliate. The process is not difficult but it is not something that happens overnight.

You need to understand the process, create a website that is attractive and useful to the people looking for your subject.

Making it attractive to your readers and learning to get the Search Engines to list you at the top of the results can be a bit more difficult. The Search Engine part is called SEO and requires a bit of time to master. User Experience Optimization UX is another thing that requires study but can be quite fun.

Interesting article. I have yet to see any program with 75% of the affiliate commission. So that would be something I am looking forward to as well. I wonder if some of those affiliate products are harder to sell.

all the bloggers tried this way of making money, but I am one who fails it, tried many affilaite links and sites to make money, but no use fo it, i guess you need 5000 followrs at least to earn or do money from affiliate links, have you tried and earned good money as blogger from affiliate links?

How do affiliate works? Because I have try one but hardly understand how it works which result in failure.

I was so confused about SEO when I began writing online. Now I can understand it better.

Indeed, Freelancing is a great option in today’s world, where we have high cost of living, education and healthcare.

Virtual assistant seems a good outlet for those wanting to work at home. I could be a candidate. But how does one go about finding out who wants a virtual assistant?

Te be freelancer is one of the most easy and tough jobs because if your luck supports you will earn if luck does not support you will not earn is my experience in all branches of life.

Freelancing means to have different jobs or short-term assignments or contracts with number of companies, websites, organizations, etc., without any long-term contract. The Internet has greatly expanded opportunities to earn money working as a freelancer. Approximately 10.3 million Americans work for themselves, a number that is expected to grow in the future.[1] Freelancing can be freeing, as the name suggests, as well as empowering and challenging

Decide what type of freelance work you are committed to doing. Freelancing jobs are as broad as the work force, and you need identify what it is you want to do before you can begin to do it. View your skills as valuable resources that are worth charging and receiving pay for.[2]
Reflect on what you’re good at. Just about every type of skill can be turned into a freelancing opportunity. Keep in mind that you’re “secondary” skills, like researching and writing, for example, can be just as useful as a specific set of skills unique to a profession (e.g., graphic designer or computer programming).

If you know you’re a strong writer, then you could develop a freelance writing business.
It’s very easy to believe that you don’t have the necessary skills or experience, but in fact you actually need very little experience in order to get started freelancing. Instead, believe in your abilities and focus on producing good work

A lot of useful information for people who would want to take the job online in the freelance mode. If one happens to be in the right place at the right at the right moment then once it clicks it will be a great way to earn from home. But whatever one does any work needs time and dedication.

If one has the discipline and long term outlook to develop this talent it will work wonders for the persons freelancers career. But one thing is observed that such jobs are not well advertised and they are also no standard guidelines which these companies who recruit have to follow. One does not know who is a legit company and who is a fraud. A lot of research is required before taking a decision. A good article.

I was just thinking the other day that this is how I want to live my life. Freelance just seems like the most fitting option for me. I discovered during my internship that 9-5 isn’t my jam. I’ve already written my first book and I’m hoping that will be my start point to freelance :)
