There are hundred of ways to make money with affiliate programs. One of the most successful ways to make money with affiliate programs is E-mail marketing and lead generation. it sounds complicated, but it’s not.
The whole aim of affiliate marketing should be collecting email addresses. Unless you know how to drive millions of people to a website, you will need to collect email addresses. You will need your own permission based opt in mailing list.
An opt in mailing list is where people sign up for your newsletter of information you’re offering and in exchange they give you their email address so you can contact when you have more information or any offers you want to tell them about.
The difference between this and spam is, these people request your information, you just don’t go and get email addresses from all over the place.
I’m sure you are all on some sort of newsletter or e-zine as it is most commonly called.
So, you can create a free email course that promotes the affiliate program that you joined. Then you will continually follow up these prospects. You will be giving them free information in exchange for their email address and if they like the information you’ve given them, they will buy the product you are promoting via your free course.
Here are the steps you have to follow to make this work.
1. Find a topic your interested in.
2. Find a few residual income affiliate programs that fit into that category and join them.
3. Set up your website, with an email subscribe form and free articles.
4. Create your free course to send via your autoresponder.
5.Write your own e-zine ad copy for your free course.
6. Advertise your free course via search engines and reciprocal linking.
7. Backend your prospects and customers until they reach their money peak.
9. Create another free course and start all over again.
The tools you are going to need are:
1- An unlimited autoresponder
2- Domain name
3- Web hosting
4- Html editor
5- FTP program
6- Excel or some other sort of database program
7- Email program like eudora.com

Residual Income Affiliate Programs
No need to create your own products, spend hundreds of hours researching and then spending even more time compiling all that information into a product you hope will be a good seller.
You can simply take advantage of other people’s hard work, research and ideas and promote their products helping both you and them in the process.
Call it the lazy man’s way of making money online, but becoming an affiliate is probably the single easiest way to start making money online.
But wait; there is even more great news about affiliate programs.
You see, while not having to develop your own product is already a great thing...you only get paid once for every affiliate sale you make. Which is great, since all you have to do is refer people to the product’s website.
But what if you could promote a product, get one sale and get paid a commission every single month for that sale you have made? If you did that, you would be creating for yourself a residual income.
So what are affiliate programs and how can you earn a constant monthly income with them?
Affiliate programs are a great way to get started marketing online. In essence affiliate programs or associate programs are revenue sharing arrangements where companies (merchants) pay webmasters commission for sending them customers.
You are paid a commission if the person buys a product or service, (Pay Per Sale- Most popular option) clicks on an affiliate link (Pay Per Click- Less popular due to fraud) or simply fills out a form (Pay per Lead- Also very popular).
Basically affiliate programs are programs that enable you to sell other people’s products for a percentage of the sale. You can virtually sell anything online now thanks to affiliate programs. But the most popular type of affiliate programs now are the ones that pay you monthly. These are called residual income affiliate programs.
Residual income affiliate programs pay you a certain amount every month for every customer you send to them, that’s stays on with their service, whether that be web-hosting, online dating or membership sites.
Let me explain these types of programs. With regular affiliate programs, you get paid a once off sum for the sale you produce, and after while you tend to run out of buying customers, so you have to quickly move on to another affiliate program to keep trying to make a monthly wage.
Don’t get me wrong, regular affiliate programs are still a great way to make money online if you don’t want the hassle of hard work of owning and developing your own product.
However, with residual income affiliate programs, if you get a customer to sign up, and they use the merchant’s service for say 6 months, you get paid a percentage of the sale for 6 months. Let’s say you sold a web hosting account and for every sale you get $10. It’s not a lot, but considering the customer is staying for 6 months, you just made $60 from that customer, not just the initial $10 sale, and the best thing is, services like these are normally necessities. I.e. every website must have web hosting, correct?
So, by selling services people need, it makes your job a heck of a lot easier that’s for sure.
So why do so many affiliates fail to make any real money? Here are the main reasons:
a) They simply give up.
Affiliate programs are hard. Don’t take it any other way. Making money with affiliate programs can be a pain in the butt, but it can also be the most rewarding thing in the world. It all depends on you! With these type of programs, you can’t give up!, you must not give up. Keep plugging away until you find something that works, because it CAN work.
If you do nothing, you get nothing, so everyday get out there and promote, promote, promote. (NO spamming please).
Since most affiliate programs are free to join, you will notice you will have a lot of competition.
Don’t let that scare you off, as 99% of them won’t make 1 sale and probably 0.5% of them will make good money from that one affiliate program, and most of the time, it’s not the merchants fault they are not making money, only their own.
b) The information they are reading is incorrect.
You get a lot of information on the net, most of it free, but no one checks the quality of that information, now do they? That’s right, without buying manuals and reading and more importantly, experimenting, you will get nowhere. If you have a belief that this business will cost you nothing to get started, then you are sadly mistaken.
Like any business, advertising, costs money, setup costs money. Affiliate programs are a business and a lot of people make a lot of money with them. But here’s a tip. Treat your affiliate program business like any other business you would start. It requires time and money. You can’t expect to make good money with affiliate programs with out being set up to succeed. I really suggest you broaden your marketing horizon and read as much as you can. Of course this can cost a fortune, but if you really want to learn just about all you will need to succeed online.
