If you are new to affiliate marketing, you are most likely asking yourself these questions. I know I was. I struggled for months trying to turn my new websites into tools that would actually make an online income for me and my family. However, you have an advantage that wasn’t yet around when I started my affiliate marketing business: One Week Marketing!

Written by a fellow work-at-home mom, One Week Marketing is a system of techniques that will teach you how to use FREE marketing methods to turn your website into, as she says, a “money-sucking profit stream.” Instead of making us wade through all kinds of Internet marketing “theory,” PotPieGirl (as she’s known online) gives us exactly, step-by-step, what we need to take the guesswork and frustration out of making money online.

Every element of One Week Marketing is broken down into a daily task list, and the system lasts, you guessed it, a total of one week. With this system, you don’t need to worry about being overwhelmed. You just open up the current day’s action plan, follow the simple steps, and you’re on your way to making money.

I loved One Week Marketing, and I highly recommend it for all moms trying to get started making money through Internet marketing. Like most other affiliate marketing training products, it has a 60-day, 100% money-back guarantee, so you really have nothing to lose by trying it.

So, are you ready to get started? Give One Week Marketing a try… I’m sure you won’t regret it!

The Conduit Method definitely does not disappoint. It is short on fluff, long on facts, and it gives you a strategy that’s easy to follow, complete with real-world examples. I’ve seen it compared to a couple of other reports that sell for more than twice the price Chris is asking for the Conduit Method, so at $14.95 you are getting a real bang for your buck.

In short, without giving too much away, this report teaches a system based on the fact that most people who are looking to buy a product online already know exactly what they want. It teaches you how to leverage the efforts that have already been made by others (the product’s creator and other affiliates) for substantial profits.

I highly recommend Chris Rempel’s Conduit Method for affiliate marketers who have a bit of experience under their belts. It will help you take your earnings to a whole new level.

If you’ve spent any time at all researching affiliate marketing programs, you will immediately see that Chris Rempel is genuinely a breath of fresh air in the Internet marketing community. When you visit his Confessions of a Lazy Super-Affiliate web site, the first thing you will notice is the length of his landing page… it’s short!  But better than that, it’s honest, to the point, and not filled with the usual sales hype.

Instead, he very simply provides a screen-shot showing a few weeks of his Clickbank income, gives a quick overview of his system, and invites you to receive a video if you are interested in more details. When you go ahead and register on the site to view the video, you are presented with great information in the most straightforward, down-to-earth video I’ve ever seen in the Internet marketing world.

Truly, Chris Rempel and his Confessions of a Lazy Super-Affiliate program are refreshing, legitimate, and unquestionably the best thing I’ve seen in affiliate marketing in quite some time. Obviously, I highly recommend you take the time to check it out!

Please don’t take offense when I say that a week or two is definitely not enough time to to complete any good program and implement all you have learned. Affiliate marketing is not a get-rich-quick scheme (even though some programs would want you to think it is), and any techniques you use take a bit of time to generate traffic and results. And those of you who have already seen some sales, congratulations! That’s awesome!

Now just because you’ve gotten your feet wet, applied some successful techniques and obtained some favorable results, it does not mean that you need to run out and get the next great money-making scheme and put that to work! In fact, that’s probably the most costly mistake that new affiliate marketers make — trying one program after another, without fully committing enough time and effort to be profitable at anything. There’s a saying that you may see if you hang out on any affiliate marketing forums, “Lather, rinse, and repeat.” (Yes, they blatantly stole it from your favorite shampoo bottle!) But what they mean is, if you’ve found something that works for you, do it again!

Choose a different product to promote, select a different advertising method, research a few new keywords, and duplicate your initial success. By doing that, you will have your first campaign working for you while you start up something new and increase your daily/weekly/monthly earnings. When you’re learning something new, doing it for the first time is always the most time-consuming, demanding part. Once you’ve completed it, you will expend much less time and energy doing it again, and you will also become better at it!

So, once you’ve found some affiliate marketing success, be sure to “lather, rinse, and repeat” before moving on to something new!

If I am an affiliate for Amazon.com, I can earn a commission by sending a customer to the Amazon web site to make a purchase. How would I do that? Let’s say I recently bought a blu-ray player for my family. Prior to buying it, I did a LOT of research, trying to find a model with the features I wanted, for a price I was willing to pay. Consequently, I now am something of a blu-ray expert. So, I write an article for one of the online article sites (EzineArticles.com, SearchWarp.com, GoArticles.com, to name just a few), sharing my newfound knowledge, and add a few affiliate links to the Amazon web site for the blu-ray models I liked best. The affiliate links contain a code that will let Amazon.com know that the customer was sent to their site by me. Then, when the customer makes a purchase from Amazon, I am rewarded with a commission — a percentage of the sale.

That’s a pretty simplistic explanation, as there are many ways to increase the amount of traffic that will use your affiliate links and therefore increase your sales, but at a high level, that’s what affiliate marketing is all about. It can be a very profitable way to make money online, from home, on your own schedule. Many, many affiliate marketers make yearly incomes over six figures, and I’ve met some of them personally. As for me, with my family obligations, I can’t devote the time it would take to make that kind of money, but I do enjoy a steady income from the affiliate marketing work I’ve done.

So, I’m creating a new category on MoneyTree4Moms to talk about affiliate marketing, how it’s contributed to my success, and my recommendations for ways to get started if you are interested in finding out more about this method of earning money from home. I’ll admit that it’s not for everyone, but if you are willing to spend a bit of time learning about it and experimenting a bit, you may find that it’s a very fun and lucrative way to earn an income.
