Considering Affiliate Marketing As A Career


I guess most of you know that many people over the internet are utilizing affiliate marketing to either supplement an existing income or to create an income from home.

I reckon most of you are also aware that affiliate marketing is when you promote affiliate products, and are paid when you make a sale.

Here are four reasons that you might want to consider if you haven’t started affiliate marketing already.



1. No start up costs:
Affiliate marketing is one of the easiest ways to start earning money on the internet because it costs you nothing to sign up and participate in various affiliate programs. You don’t have to worry about paying for products on a monthly basis and some affiliate programs don’t have a quota that you must reach to get paid on a monthly basis. There are even some affiliate programs that pay instantly.

2. A wide variety of products:
What’s your passion? Is it health, network marketing, food, self improvement or maybe another area? There are so many different types of affiliate products that you can promote that will be in the same niche as what you are already doing. If you have a health and wellness blog, find affiliate programs that are centered around health and wellness products or if you have a website that shares recipes with your readers you can opt to use food and kitchen related affiliate programs. If you are a network or internet marketer you might want to look for products to promote that center around helping other marketers like autoresponders, PLR and information products.

3. You can greatly increase your income:
Depending on what you’re promoting, how you promote it and if it meshes well with your niche, you can create a nice income from home by using affiliate programs. Affiliate programs can be promoted alongside whatever else you are already doing. If you’re blogging already, you can use banner advertising or article marketing to promote products to your readers while still supplying them with quality content. When someone clicks on your link or banner and makes a purchase you earn. The more this happens the more your earnings are increased.

4. Affiliate marketers usually get a large chunk of the profits:
It ‘s not uncommon to see affiliate marketing programs offering 30 percent, 50 percent or even 75 percent of their profits to their affiliates. Why in the world would they offer up so much of their profits? The answer is quite simple … traffic. Affiliate marketers can bring in so much more traffic than the owner of the product and program can bring in by them-self .

More people promoting make the amount of traffic and sales so much greater. In exchange, affiliate program owners are happy to pay an amount that is more than fair to ones who are bringing in sales.

So, check out affiliate marketing today.

Affiliate Marketing Takes Patience


Was going through the article of an online affiliate marketing colleague of mine, Susanne Myers, the details of which is given below. I reckon this is an important point to every upcoming affiliate.


If you sell it, they will come



A lot of people look into affiliate marketing each year. Quite a few of them sign up for an affiliate program and do at least something to promote that link. Some will take the extra step and set up a website or blog, but very few of us end up making a full-time living as Affiliate Marketers.

What Makes Those Few Stand Out ?

It is persistence and tenacity in what we do along with list building and sharing lots of quality content. Affiliate marketing isn’t a get rich quick scheme and it isn’t push button easy… but it is a great way to build a business and make a living online.

You Have To Have Patience

Fulltime affiliate marketing businesses aren’t built overnight. It takes time.

One of the advantages of this business model is that you can create a lot of passive income. The big disadvantage is that you have to put a lot of work into it upfront without seeing much of a return at first. The key is not to get discouraged. Set a small goal. One of my first goals was to have my affiliate checks pay for my cellphone bill, then the cable and phone bill, then the car payment etc.

Focus On Quality Content and Publish It Consistently

Set up a blog and start to share content on a regular basis. Write blog posts, record videos or even audios and post them on your site. Start showing off your expertise and focus on quality. I can’t stress that enough, because as we go forward more and more emphasis will be put on quality content and it only makes sense. Your blog is often one of the first places potential subscribers and customers interact with you. You want to make a good first impression.

Build It And They Will Come Just Doesn’t Work

One of the biggest mistakes I made when I started out was to put all my time and effort into building my site. I wrote tons of great articles, had pretty pictures and monetized it all with affiliate offers. My only problem was that I had virtually no traffic …

As the line from the “field of dreams” -  build it and they will come” just will not work. In fact, it is the other way around.. If you sell it, they will come

You have to go out there and market your site. At the very least spend 50% of your time on sites other than your own. Be active on social media, write articles, guest blog etc. Spread the word about your site and people will start to find you.

A Daily Schedule

Spend about 30 minutes every single day for the next 30 days to build your affiliate income. Write some blog posts, do some article marketing, get active on social media sites, record some videos and upload them to YouTube, write some auto responder messages, set up a new squeeze page … it doesn’t matter what you do but take some action this month and watch your affiliate income grow.

The 3 Week Diet - How To Lose Weight Quickly

Losing weight in a short space of time has always been thought of as a near impossible task.

For years, doctors and dieticians have told the public that it takes months and sometimes even years of hard work to see any progress with weight loss, or to sculpt the perfect body.

The 3 Week Diet


Although, I feel that is a load of bull, I am not in a position to argue with that, as I total the scales at over, let's say 110 plus kgs

Anyways, I came across this weight loss affiliate program, while surfing Clickbank and was inclined to have a shot at it, but didn't do so, given my indisciplined ways...


Brian Flatt, an acclaimed nutritionist and personal trainer and the promoter of this program, claims that the human body is highly adaptable and able to change in extremely short periods of time. He feels that if people can quickly gain mass amounts of fat from weeks of unhealthy eating, shouldn’t they also be able to lose a lot weight rapidly from weeks of healthy eating?

Well, good point there, Brian ! 
He argues that to lose weight rapidly, you have to eat from low-carb, to low-fat, to sugar-free, to high protein, and even the ‘caveman’ diet – there are so many options out there that it can be extremely confusing to the average person on which diet you should use to quickly lose weight...

Some of these diets even provide conflicting information on what you should and shouldn’t eat.

Now, here comes Brian’s marketing view point...

He argues that for years, A-list celebrities and professional athletes have been following a secret diet not revealed to the public. This diet is so effective that people have been able to lose over 23 pounds of pure body fat in just 21 days from following it. That’s more than 1 pound of body fat per day!

Again, although I feel it is bull, let’s go with the flow...

Titled ‘The 3 Week Diet’, Brian’s system apparently reveals to people exactly how they can rapidly lose over 1 pound of body weight per day. The diet doesn’t involve starving yourself or exercising like crazy, but instead advises the client to follow a specific scientific method of diet, that includes certain nutrient rich foods into your diet that, when combined, offer special fat-combating properties.

He says that one does not have to restrict oneself to certain types of foods like ‘no carbs’ or ‘no sugar’, but rather include ‘the good stuff’ as well to help burn the fat.

This diet, he claims is extremely effective and based off years of scientific research and testing to ensure its safety and effectiveness.

Hallelujah !

Those who have taken it say that the diet is incredibly easy to follow, with very little work involved...

I don’t know, so lease do check it out.

For someone trying to weight fast, I reckon that The 3 Week Diet could be worth trying.

Let me know if it works for you..
