Many people don’t have a clue how to get started online. Faced with new and confusing terms and the challenge of technology many people skip and hop to every idea that comes across their path.First off you know that the person running a membership site is in this for the long haul. And like you tying your success to the promoter of a membership site, the promoter is tying their success to the people who are members of that site and promote its products. This is a great way to make money.
If It’s A Membership Site It Should be Legit.
First off you know that the person running a membership site is in this for the long haul. And like you tying your success to the promoter of a membership site, the promoter is tying their success to the people who are members of that site and promote its products.
The Very First Internet Membership Site
The very first membership website was amazon.com. They have survived the test of time and proved to their members (called affiliates) that they can deliver the products. They faithfully pay the affiliates a commission for promoting their products.
Amazon is constantly adding new features and ways to promote their site and its products to help their affiliates sell more for them. Because they want YOU to succeed so they can succeed and grow.
Affiliate Marketing Exploded After The Success Of Amazon.com
Google soon followed with Adwords for search and Adsense for their affiliates to make quick cash. In the beginning the Google cash method was a dream come true. Just put up a few keyword optimized pages and you make a commission every time someone clicks on a Google add on your website.
Soon after people were putting up these Google cash websites that would have hundreds and even thousands of pages of content with Google adds. People were getting rich one and two cents at a time. But like all good things the competition has made this a very difficult model to be profitable in today.
Next Came Ebay The World’s Auction Place
Ebay is an industry unto itself. It is a phenomenally successful company. They work as the middlemen between buyers and seller of goods all over the world.
Both Google and Ebay spawned a boom in the program creation business. People invented products to help other people make more money by automating the Google and Ebay businesses processes for the affiliates.
Products like programs to look up keywords by popularity, and how profitable a keyword or phrase would be. Other programs were able to create huge lists of keywords and help people put content on those web pages. The hope was to optimize each page for one keyword. That would hopefully get people to that web page and to click on the Google adds and make money for the owner and Google of course.
There Were Programmers Who Built Software Empires.
Just by supplying the support products for people to be successful on Google and Ebay they became overnight millionaires.
Other programs soon followed Google and Ebay all with their own particular spin that would have people flocking to sign up for their programs.
PayPal (which was such a good idea Ebay bought them and made PayPal a part of Ebay), Clickbank ,Commision Junction and many other successful affiliate programs have sprung up. For the people who have chosen to be members of these programs and successfully implemented them, they have made lots of money.
Also the early adopters of these programs have been able to cash in really big.
So join a membership site and become an affiliate and start to learn how you can make some extra money. It doesn’t have to be a lot of money. But an extra thousand a month could come in quite handy.
I hope you have found this information useful and will do something with it.
