Many people believe that to start to make money online you first have to have a website so that people can come to it and buy the product that you are selling. This is where many people start to buy their own hosting and get a domain name and then spend weeks or even months trying to figure out how to build their webslte around the product they want to sell. While it is true that you will need a site for people to visit and buy off you there is a much easier and quicker way to get a site for a product you want to sell that will cost you nothing and takes minutes to get.
You may have heard of Affiliate Marketing when you have been searching the web for ways to earn money online. Affiliate marketing is when you promote a product for a company and get commisions for every sale you make. There are many many companies out there that have affiliate schemes but the easiest way to start to earn money using affiliate schemes is to sell downloadable products.
These downloadable products mostly come in the form of an ebook that gives information that people are looking for. For example, there are many people that look for information on relationships and how to get back or win back an ex partner. If you could get a great product in front of these people then there is a good chance that they will buy the product.

Here is a link to such a product... CLICK HERE

If you clicked on the button you will have been taken to a site that sells a downloadable ebook that gives information about how to win back an ex love. Now I do not own this site but am an affiliate of the site. The site you went to has my details embedded in it and if anyone buys the product for $39.00 I will get a commision of $23.94 which is about 50% of the full price of the product. I have sold a lot of these ebooks and have made some good money and am still making money selling this ebook.
This ebook is being sold through a company called Clickbank which you may have heard of. Clickbank has thousands of products that publishers of ebooks and software use to get affiliates to sell for them and give very high commission rates usually around 50% of the full price.
You can join Clickbank for free and then you will have access to thousands of products that you can sell. Every product will come with a website that you you can promote which has your affiliate id embedded in it so you will get your commision if somebody buys from your site.
So go now to Clickbank and join for free HERE and have a look around at the marketplace and you will see that they have products that you can sell in nearly every niche that you can think of.
Once you have found a product that you would like to promote just click on the promote button and add your Clickbank id and you will be given a unique ulr and this is what you will use when promoting the product.
So where do you promote your affiliate website?
Well the easiest way is to join forums that are in the same niche as the affiliate product that you are promoting. So lets say that you are promoting a dog training course. Go to google and type in dog forums. You will get results that will show you that there are lots of dog forums out there. So just choose one that is very popular and sign up to the forum. What you are looking for is a forum that lets you add a signiture after you make or reply to a post. This means that you can add your affiliate website address to every post you make or reply to. Most forums will want you to contrubute a bit before you can add a signiture so reply to a few threads and after a few days you will be able to add your affiliate website address to your signiture. This is why when choosing the product to promote it is sometimes best to pick something that you are interested in as it makes replying to threads or starting threads on the forum easier for you. And when making your signiture make sure to make it something that people would like to click on. If you where promoting a dog training product make it something like "Train your dog in one week! Click here."
This will get many people reading your thread or replys clicking on your signiture just to see what it is all about. And if the product is a good one you should make a few sales over time.
This does work and I made some of my first sales using this method to promote some affiliate products. So give it a go. All it costs you is a bit of time and you should soon see some sales coming in in no time.
I will post some more ways on how to promote your affiliate links soon.
