Why and On-line Store is an Affiliate's Best Friend

In the world of Internet Marketing there are several ways to make money. In this article I’m going to discuss a rather unusual means of Affililiate marketing. The majority of Affiliate marketing is based on pre-selling existing products. That is, by creating demand for a product either through hyping that product or creating demand by writing a review or an article. This way you get your site’s visitors interested in a product before sending them on to that product’s sales page. This often becomes many affiliate marketers’ sole mans of gaining income.

But what if there was another way?

Well there is…

We’re all familiar with the principles of franchises in the real world and this is the equivalent in the world of internet marketing. Here you sign-up to an affiiate program that offers you products that you can place on yor own website. An example of a company doing this is AllPosters.com. You can join them here:

Anoter example (especially if you’re in the ‘Internet Marketing’ niche) would be 7DollarOffers.com. If you’re in the mobile phone sphere then you can use FUNtonia.com.

What makes these affiliate programs very useful for a marketer is that you can use them to get links to individual products (there are lots more out there where you can do this).

One of my favourite sites with lots of prorams where you can drill down to individual products is the:

They have lots of programs in their system and many of these are merchants for real products. I’ve used these very successfully to add products to the various Celtic areas of my website (mostly rings and Celtic-inspired clothing). But this shows exactly how you can use these types of links to place products on your page and market them almost as if you were selling them directly.

This is the secret of this type of internet marketing. What you’re doing is effectively creating a store on your website where you’re promoting the prodcts of others as if they were your own products. But the sales and handling of purchases are handled by the original merchant. As you can see this can be a very cheap and effective way of placing a store on your website where you promote others’ products.

If you want to set-up your store quickly then I suggest you look at my eBooks Store Package #1 where you can buy a sales store (orignally intended for eBooks, but you can sell anything) that’s been designed to sell products from your site as well as to promote affiliate products for others. This package gives you 25 products pre-loaded into the store so you can have your store up and running instantly. All you need to do then is to create some new categories, add the affiliate products you desire and start selling today!

The aim of internet marketing is to make you money and adding an affiliate store to your site can create a generous income for you. It’s another strategy in your ‘multiple streams of income’ website monetization strategy.
