Site Or No Website...That's The Question

By Ryan Deiss


Do you want to make money by way of the net but you don't have sufficient experience or capital to begin your own on line small business? You don't need to be concerned, for a good deal of on-line advertising and marketing options exist for you to start with. One of these solutions, and shall I say the very best, is affiliate advertising and marketing.

Affiliate advertising and marketing delivers first time on the web marketers like you the chance to marketplace something on the net even with out having your own product to sell. All you have to do is to sign up with an affiliate marketing program, which is commonly owned by an on the net merchant or retailer, and commence picking the merchandise you would like to promote. As an affiliate, you're paid by the merchant for your services on a commission basis, which is whenever you have directed a visitor to the merchant's website and also the visitor in fact buys something.

Becoming an affiliate in an affiliate marketing program is normally fast and simple, and for most affiliate programs, signing up is also absolutely free. But regardless of these and all the rewards becoming promised by affiliate programs, numerous individuals are still hesitant to obtain into affiliate advertising. One of the reasons why a whole lot of people stay hesitant will be the lack of a web page to start marketing his affiliate items with. This now leads us to the question of no matter if a internet site is needed or crucial in affiliate advertising and marketing or not.

Quite a few people today say that one can do affiliate advertising and marketing even without having a web-site to start with. Truly, 1 can truly begin promoting and marketing and advertising his affiliate goods even with out a internet site; and there exist a good deal of techniques on how this might be carried out. The fact is, a lot of affiliate advertising and marketing methods that leads to success can exist without actually needing a web site. Among these techniques are email marketing and advertising, offline promotions, writing e-books, writing ezines and engaging in online discussions like forums, chats, message boards and other people.

*Email Advertising

Email advertising and marketing, or maintaining email lists, is truly probably the most common affiliate marketing and advertising strategy that doesn't need the affiliate to maintain a web page. In this affiliate advertising strategy, what you basically do is maintain a list of the email ads of your prospective customers and present them with articles which are relevant with the affiliate merchandise and programs you're promoting. Articles that you supply your contacts with need not usually be promotional, for many individuals discover such kinds of email annoying. Rather, it would be superior for those who offer them with something informative and just add little text ads that link to your merchant's web-site.

*Offline Promotion

There are lots of techniques on how you'll be able to promote your affiliate merchandise offline. Among the frequent medium used for such promotions are classified ads, brochures and flyers. Classified ads would normally work better compared to the other two simply because classified ads in periodicals generally get a wider audience.

*Writing Free e-books

If you have a knack in writing, writing an e-book may be the top way for you to promote your affiliate items in the absence of an actual site. Just like in emails and newsletters, your readers would greater appreciate your e-book if it is not too promotional but rather informative. Be sure, having said that, to make the contents of your e-books relative to the actual affiliate merchandise you are promoting. And just like in email advertising, you may just place text ads or banners somewhere near the end of your e-book that links to the merchant's web-site.

*Writing Free Ezines

Ezines are publications or articles that aim to inform individuals about a particular topic. In case you do not have a web page and but desire to be an affiliate, you could well use ezines to promote your affiliate items or to insert links to your merchant's website. If you have a internet site, your ezine write-up may perhaps truly work properly as content for your web-site. But considering that you might have no website, you'll be able to just submit your cost-free ezine articles to a variety of websites that hosts ezines, like goarticles.com, ezinearticles.com and other people.

*Online discussions (Forums, Chats, Message Boards, etc.)

With or without a web-site, you just can't ignore on line discussions for the reason that they're good venues for marketing and advertising your affiliate items. In chats, forums, message boards and discussion boards with topics related to your merchandise, you are able to easily come across individuals who may well be interested with the products you might be promoting.

With all these strategies, it may possibly appear that 1 definitely doesn't must have a internet site to start advertising and marketing his affiliate merchandise and promoting his affiliate programs. Properly, starting in an affiliate program without a web page may well be easy, but getting productive in affiliate advertising and marketing without having a site is one more thing. While 1 can really gain enormous success in affiliate advertising and marketing even with out a web-site, it is actually a rare instance that "newbies" like you are able to reach the same levels of success.

Having a site just isn't seriously a pre-requisite in entering into an affiliate program, unless otherwise the program owner would call for you to have 1. But although this is so, I would still suggest that you simply have for yourself a web page, if not now, then maybe at a later time. Having a internet site creates a whole lot of benefits in affiliate marketing and advertising. For 1, it delivers you a location where it is possible to creatively promote not just one of your affiliate products but all of your affiliate goods. Having a site, you'll be able to also advertise your affiliate goods to a wider market.

Again, having a internet site isn't a requirement in affiliate marketing and advertising. But with the benefits that a site can supply, I'd rather have one for myself and make affiliate advertising and marketing a great deal less complicated for me.
